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.

Korean Conflict eligibility will ex

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.

gram in 1944 up through July 31,

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?

In South Carolina...
after bowling, beer is a natural
After youVe bowled a game or two, or when you’re winding up
the evening at the neighborhood bowling center, it’s good to relax
with friends and compare scores. What better way to add to the
sport and the sociableness than with a refreshing glass of beer?
However you take your fun—skiing, skating, or at your ease in the
game room—beer always makes a welcome addition to the party*
Your familiar glass of beer is also a pleasurable reminder that
we live in a land of personal freedom—and that our right to enjoy
beer and ale, if we so desire, is just one, but an important one, of
those personal freedoms.
In South Carolina...beer goes with fun, with relaxathKI
