Vet Entitlement Is Running Out Korean conflict veterans with short periods of wartime service will be first to lose their GI loan entitlement starting January 31, 1965, the Veterans Administration pointed out today. Up until that date all Korean Conflict veterans are eligible to secure a VA guaranteed loan to buy a home or a farm or to enter into business, Robert L. Edwards, Acting Loan Guaranty Officer of the Columbia VA Regional office, said. After that date entitlement will end each day for individual veter ans according to a formula estab lished by congress in 1961. The formula, except for those veterans discharged for service- connected disabilities, makes the veteran’s GI. loan eligibility de pendent on his length of service and his dates of discharge. Example: A veteran with one year and three months service, discharged in June 1953, would add ten years to make it 1963 and a year each for the five three- month periods he was on wartime duty. Thus, his eligibility would extend until June 1968. To protect those veterans who served for short periods of time, the law provided that all Korean Conflict veterans would be eligible for GI loan entitlement until Jan.

After that date individual vet erans terminate their eligibility as they reach the dates arrived at by the formula. At the other end of the scale, a maximum date has been set, January 31, 1975 after which all Korean Conflict eligibility will ex pire and the GI loan program will come to an end. The minimum protective date for World War II veterans was reached on July 25, 1962. Since then entitlement has been ending on each World War II veteran’s deadline date as set by the form ula. The maximum deadline date on which all World War II eligi bility ceases in July 25, 1967. Veterans discharged for service- connected disabilities will retain eligibility until maximum entitle ment dates: July 25, 1967, for World War II veterans and Jan uary 31, 1975 for Korean Conflict veterans.

NO MONEY DOWN just pay the rest of your life with your money and your freedom Pol. ad paid by S. C. Republican Party, J. Drake Edens, Jr., Chairman Political Profiteering Profiteering on the various ills of mankind, without con structively offering solutions which reach down to basic causes, seems to be all the vogue in modern public life. To some extent this occurs be cause of the use of promises that overreach any possible per formance, but we wink at this practice of getting the vote. What is ought is power. Power-hungry politicians know, for example, that people will look for the easy answers to diffi cult problems, will expect the magic antidote. Halt recessions. End poverty. Provide jobs. Equalize opportunity. Outlaw discrimination. Some things are not easy. The leadership of this nation turned reckless when it opened racial conflicts, encouraging overt protest and spark ing unrest. These approaches, even granting the existence of some denial of rights, were wrong from every practical and philosophical viewpoint. You just don't go about creating love by fiat, demanding respect and equality by demonstra tions. We’re aware that force begets force, but we forget that respect follows respect. In their zeal to go at things backward, our national leader ship has been smiling upon marches on Washington, lionizing incendiary demagogues bent on revolt, winking at lawless ness and destruction, and lending support to so-called demon strations. Killing or fighting police, who are symbols of au thority, seems the accepted way to follow-up what the lead ership is saying. Citizens who are informed have not been surprised at re ports of Communist participation in the war against police. The Reds know these tactics. They have studied them since the Russian conflagration of 1917 and have planned their use. “Manning the barricades” in street fighting was the procedure the oldtimers learned in Europe. Today it is broken bottles, Molotov cocktails, and bicycle chains. The switch blade they have acquired from gangs and delinquents. Police brutality is a propaganda cry they have been using for years. Revelations from J. Edwar Hoover, and reluctantly from President Johnson, that Communists lurked in the back ground of the riots in northern cities could hardly surprise those acquainted with the Communist record. Recall San Francisco in 1960? There are other revolutionary manipula tors will use any pretext to incite riot and bloodshed. What they want to produce, in time, is a breakdown of all law and order, the abrogation of property rights, intimidation of au thority, and a terrorized citizenry. Decent and responsible citizens of the Negro race are not with them. Why should any of our leaders be? Take away the riot and demonstration and there remains the lawful freedom of assembly. Millions of Americans of various races assemble each week. Some eat together. Many worship together. Others study and listen to lectures. Very few assemble to plan riot or insurrection. -Take away the threats of rabble rousers, the clenched fist, the inflamatory words, and responsible freedom of speech still remains. But without the careless politics connected with it all, we should have a more sober, secure America. Add responsibility to our freedoms, and we shall have a more circumspect citiz enry. But the search for political advantage goes on. Every gov ernment action is today being measured for its public rela tions value, for its poll-taking effect on the Johnson image. Whether it meets national needs, advances prestige abroad, sustains ethical and moral principles is seldom the question. The American voter is going to be playing the fool, however, if he remains unaware that basic standards and principles are under heavy assault. Our ship of state is being allowed to drift lazily without being anchored to our heritage of ideals and principles. Race relations is supposedly being soft-pedaled as a cam paign issue. So explosive it is, and so often the perennial pol itical football, that it probably will not remain quiet. In any event, profiteering upon racial strife for political purpose is of the same immoral stripe as expending American lives to win nothing but a “neutralism” that may sound like peace to some but is actually the road to tryanny. Are we never to learn that efforts to re-order society, so as the bring peace to men who have not so far known it, must be based upon principles and not upon how the situation can be made to look on national television?
