V A Asks Veterans To Indicate End Of Spring Stud' Veterans enrolled at the univer mity who do not plan to continue ~heir courses in training during ~he su,mmer shoulti give the Vet 3rns' -Amnsrto due notice >f interruption. This is pointed out in a letter rrom M. L. McHugh, chief of the Vocational Rehabilitation and Edu ration Division of the VA. A plan adopted last year for aliminating disruption Of: veteran trainees' subsistence allowance shecks at the end of the 1948-49 ichool year provided for' enroll nent on VA Forms 7-1950 (?7-1958) r 7-1909 of all veteran-trainees for the ordinary school year and the summer term or summer school. "No doubt there are some vet iran-trainees who will not continue their course of training into the summer term or summer school after the end of the 1948-49 ordi nary school year. It Is obvious, therefore, that If the Veterans' Administration does not receive notioe of interruption, Form 7 1908, on such trainees, an over payment of subsistence allowance will occur," Mr. McHugh's letter said. "This will permit the Veterans' Administration to amend its award f subsistence allowance promptly m'o as to pay only to the end of the present school year plus 15 calen clar days," Mr. McHugh said.
