Approximately Five Months
Left To Apply For Loans
About five months remain in
which World War II veterans may
apply for GI home, farm, or busi
ness loans, P. J. Mims, manager
of the Veterans Administration
Regional Office in Waco, reminded
veterans today.
Under present law, July 25,
1960, is the cut-off date set for
World War II veteran participation
in the post-war program that has
seen more than 5 million World
War II veterans take advantage
of the GI Bill loan provisions since
June 22, 1944.
Veterans who submit their appli
cations on or before the deadline
of July 25, 1960, will be allowed
an additional year, or until July
25, 1961, in which to have the loan
processed and actually closed.
Mims^ pointed out these dates do
not apply to Korean-conflict vet
erans who have until Jan. 31, 1965,
to make GI loan applications.
World War II veterans who also
served during the Korean-conflict
period are considered Korean-con
flict veterans for the purpose of
GI loans.
Veterans in rural areas and in
small cities and towns where
guaranteed loans are not generally
available are eligible for VA direct
home and farm-house loans. The
direct loan program for both World
War II and Korean-conflict vet-

erans is due to expire on July 25,
1960.
Since the GI loan program was
launched in June, 1944, over 27,000
loans have been guaranteed or
made to World War II veterans in
the Central Texas area served by
the Waco Regional Office, approxi
mately $200,000,000.
Approximately one-third of the
eligible World War II veterans and
one-eighth of the Korean-conflict
veterans have taken advantage of
the loan program to date.
Reviewing the tremendous scope
of the GI loan program as used
by both World War II and Korean-
conflict veterans combined, Mims
said it was the equal of financing
one out of every 10 dwelling units
in the United States, including
apartments and single- family
rental properties.
Nearly one out of every four
mortgaged single-family dwelling
units in the United States has a
VA-guaranteed mortgage.
Star Scout Award
Presented Maddox
At Court of Honor
The Star Scout award and four
merit badges were presented to
David Maddox at a Court of Honor
held by Boy Scout Troop 802 on
Monday night at the A&M Meth
odist Church Youth Center.
Syd Loveless, scout master of
the troop presided at the Court of
Honor. Committeeman James W.
Amyx presented the awards.
Other awards given at Monday
night’s court went to Fred Wor
ley, David Holmgreen and Tommy
Hannigan who received their First
Class badges and to David Brusse
and Gordan McGill who became
Tenderfoot Scouts.
The theme of the program was
“What to Do if You Are Lost.”
Loveless introduced the program,
explaining that our nation’s most
important natural resource is peo
ple. He went on to say that many
become lost or die of exposure
because they do not know what
every Boy Scout learns early in
his scouting career.
Paul Fagen and Gordon McGill
gave short talks on “What to Do
if Lost” and Mark Reidel gave a
talk on the recent Boy Scout Ex
hibition held in the Rational Guard
Armory.
The closing ceremony was led
by the Sam Houston Patrol under
the guidance of Patrol Leader
Carl Gough.
LBJ, Symington Officially Enter Race
WASHINGTON <A>)—Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
Johnson of Texas and Sen. Stuart
Symington (D-Mo.) are official
candidates now for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
The two presidential hopefuls
backed into the race Wednesday
with separate announcements they
would not withdraw their names
from the May 20 Oregon presi
dential primary. Both still avoid
ed any direct statements that they
are candidates.
Johnson said he was too involved
in the Senate filibuster on civil
rights to give any attention to out
side political matters. But he said
he has “no plans to act in any way
on the Oregon action.”
This meant he would not file
an affidavit with the Oregon sec
retary of state to take his name
off the ballot. Oregon law re
quires that all nationally recog
nized candidates be named. They
can withdraw only by filing a
statement disavowing candidacy.
Johnson’s announcement was in
terpreted as indicating he has not
lost hope he can combine South
ern and Western backing in a ser-
ions challenge for the nomination.
Johnson’s Southern support has
been shaken by his action in bring
ing the civil rights issue before
the Senate. Some of his Dixie col
leagues have sent word to him
they don’t think they can hold
their state delegations for him if
he eventually votes for a debate
limitation to end the current
Southern filibuster, which he may
have to do.
Without strong Southern back
ing, Johnson may not be in a posi
tion to challenge Sen. John F.
Kennedy (D-Mass.), an announced
candidate. Kennedy has been say
ing recently that Johnson is his
biggest rival but that was before
the civil rights controversy ex
ploded.
Kennedy’s name, put into the
Oregon contest by the state sec
retary of state, will stay there
along with those of Sen. Hubert
H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) and Sen.
Wayne Morse (D-Ore.).
Adlai E, Stevenson, twice the
party nominee, already has ar
ranged to withdraw. He also is
staying out of the May 3 District
of Columbia primary.
Kennedy’s strategists say they
expect Morse to win the Oregon
primary. A respectable race
against Morse would satisfy them.
If Kennedy could beat Morse on
his home grounds, they think that
would about cinch the nomination
for him.
Teacher Raises
Gain Importance
In Governor Race
Math Help Sessions
Now in Progress
A mathematics help session
for this term is now in progress
Monday through Friday in Room
224 of the Academic Building
from 3 to 5 p.m.
AUSTIN LT)—Teachers pay
raises appeared today as a grow
ing major issue in the two-candi
date race for governor.
Gov. Price Daniel and his only
opponent, former Rep. Jack Cox,
Breckenridge, broke out with a
sharp exchange bn the question of
whether or not the governor has
promised to call a' special session
of the Legislature for school im
provements including the pay
raise.
Daniel said Wednesday he has
made no such promise “unless-
there was a reasonable chance of
success.”
“Any statement to the contrary
is untrue,” the governor said in
a statement in which he also kept
alive the prospects of such a spe
cial session.
Daniel did not call Cox by name.
But last week Cox in a statewide
television speech said that public
school teachers have been “kept
in a constant state of confusion”
on the pay raise question.
“Cox said they had been “prom
ised a special session of the Legis
lature in September, then in Jan
uary, and now the talk is about
a session after the election in
May. In the meantime, the gover
nor checked every possible source
available to see if this would be
popular.”
Daniel’s statement Wednesday,
which he said was to set the rec
ord straight on several matters,
apparently was a direct reply to
the Cox speech. It marked the
first real campaigning of a race
which thus far has not generated
a great deal of public steam.
Daniel said he would either call
a special session on school im
provements including the $400 a
year teacher pay raise after the
May 7 primary, or recommend an
even higher boost to the next regu
lar session. The latter would be
to “offset the loss chused by delay
in its enactment,” Daniel said.
The Texas State Teachers’
Assn., which has been lobbying
vigorously for the Hale-Aikin
school program including pay
raises, reacted quickly.
Mrs. Mary Alexander, Palestine,
president of the association, said
teachers had hoped and worked
for earlier action.
“We recognize the problems
faced by the governor and the
Legislature,” Mrs. Alexander said.
“We also recognize the acute situ
ation faced by the teachers and
the public schools of the state,
which requires action at the earl
iest possible time. In this connec
tion- we agree with Governor Dan
iel that it is far better to take care
of the matter in a special session
than wait until the regular session
in 1961.”
Daniel said his contacts with
legislators revealed there is no
chance of agreeing on how to fi
nance the school program at a spe
cial session before the May pri
mary. Most lawmakers believe
the job needs to be done, he said,
but don’t think it can be done in
30 days.
‘60 Census Offers
Interest to Vets
The 1960 census will be of more
than usual interest to veterans and
their families, according to the
Veterans Administration. The
Census takers will visit every
household beginning Friday, April
1.
This year the Census Bureau
seeks the latest accurate informa
tion on the total veterans’ popula
tion figures as well as a grouping
by war period.
Census takers will not ask this
information on their visit to each
household. Instead they will leave
at every fourth household a special
questionnaire for each person re
siding there. A box, numbered
“P-35” on this questionnaire,
supplies space to check off whether
or not the individual is a veteran
and in which war period he served.
Veterans organizations are join
ing with the VA in asking that
each veteran, in every fourth
household selected, fill out the
form promptly and correctly and
see that it is mailed back to the
designated address.
For the next decade, statistics
resulting from this census will be
used as an. authoritative bench
mark when veterans service or
legislation come under considera
tion.
