EVER SEE A DOG FISH
IN A TYKE SPOT?
FRESNO LAKE, Mont.—John
Bradley weighs in with this fish
yarn: “We were out fishing the
-other day and they weren’t bit
ing, I got interested in a little
tyke dangling a bamboo rod over
the side of a boat. I watched him
lose interest eat a sandwich, nod
i of fto sleep. Then, shortly I saw
his rod zig-sagging crazily and
my Springer spaniel, ‘Duke,’
i splashed in pursuit. Duke caught
the rod in his mouth, played the
fish out and swam ashore with a
hooked, three-and-on-half-pound
rainbow trout. Who got the fish—
well, who caught it?”

VETERAN’S
GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NIAL
WASHINGTON—Already there
is much understanding about ben
efits for veterans. New rights,
later developments, and more vet- j
erans by the millions will confuse
before it comes clear.
I {
Anyone who reads the service
I
i men’s readjustmnt law—now gen
erally called the GI Bill of Rights
is likely to become exhausted by
his wrestle / with its whereas
wording — its “provideds,” “pro
| vided howevers,” and “notwith
standings.”
This probably accounts for sev
eral attempts to give ex-service
j men a helping hahd by simplified
j booklets—digests of the benefits
available to veterans. One of these
! is an official U. S. Government
booklet issued by the “Retraining
and Reemployment Administra
! tion, Office of War Mobilization.”
! Even this government booklet ad

I needed to answer all the ques
tions—and then might not be up
I to-date when you got it.
Many GI Bill of Rights terms
are as confusing as its terminol
i ogy. For example: “readjustment
i
allowances.”
What’s a readjustment allow
ance? It’s just plain unemploy
ment pay. How do you get it? The
bill doesn’t say—it just says you
I are entitled to it.
None of the benefits due you as i
a veteran will come to you. You
I must go after them. It’s like that
| constitutional guarantee of the
pursuit of happiness—you have to
catch up with, it yourself.
First qualification for this un
employment pay is (1) that you
must be a veteran of at least 90
days’ service and that you don’t
hold a dishonorable discharge, or
<2) that you were released because
of an injury or disability incurred
in line of duty. No one else is en
titled to this particular unemploy
ment pay.
Let’s asume you qualify thus
far—and you lose your job, or are
employed only part-time at some
thing under $23 a week. If this
happens within two years after
your service discharge, or within
two years after the war’s end—
whichever is later—you should go
to the nearest public employment
office, register there, and continue
to report there as directed. At the
same time you apply there for
veterans unemployment pay.
Then if no job turns up through
your own efforts or through the
public employment agency, you’re
supposed to start receiving your
unemployment pay ($20 a week)
and you should get it for 24 to 52
weeks—depending on your length
of active military or na^al serv
ice.
If employed only part-time,

and $23.
All unemployment pay stops
five years after the war’s end.
Another angle: you won’t gel
unemployment pay if your job is
“suitable” and you simply quit
without good cause or are fired
for misconduct, or if you join a
strike. Nor will get such pay if
you won’t take a suitable job
when it’s offered, or if you won’t
take an available free training j
course while you’re out of work.
Finally, if you are working for I
yourself and you don’t earn (net)
$100 in any one month, you can
apply the next month for pay
ment of the difference bewteen
what you did earn and $100.
There are some peculiarities

By LIEF ERICKSON
GUAM, Max 9—<;P) —Ranging
from Korea to Honshu naval air
craft sank six Japanese ships in

oort and damaged thirteen small

probably sixteen inch rifles on
the Japanese positions guarding
the southern Okinawa defense
line and destroying gun emplace
ments and some artillery wea
pons and mortars.

aged by search planes of the Fleet
Air Wing, one of which discover
ed a concentration of shipping
in the coastal areas off Korea.
Army Thunderbolts straffed
and bombed gun positions and
radio installations on Truk in the
Carolines despite intense anti-air
craft fire. Army Liberators bomb
ed the Marcus Islands runways in
other aerial activity.
