VLA Officials Ignominy Ottawa, July 19 -- (CP) -- Walter Tucker, parliamentary assistant to Veterans' Minister Mackenzie, de- clined to give the Commons yester- day names of 20 Veterans Land Act officials who had been relieved of their positions following complaints about V.L.A. houses at Sarnia, Ont., Braefoot, B. C., and Boucherville, ue. ae. Tucker, answering a question by Lt.-Col. Douglas Harkness (PC-- Calgary East) said it would be "un- fair" to place their names on the record so they could be "pilloried" across Canada. Col. Harkness agreed not to insist on his question. Dismissal of the officials was first disclosed a week ago at a meeting of the public accounts committee when Gordon Murchison, director of the V.L.A., admitted under ques- tioning that the chief engineer at Ottawa, district superintendents at Toronto and Vahcouver and a "sub- stantial number" of local inspec- tors had been asked to resign fol- lowing the discrerancies.

DV A--Financed Students, | Credits Gone, In Dilemma | Toronto, July 19 -- (CP) -- Stu- dent veterans at the University of Toronto, though still on vacation, were given food for thought today as the Department of Veterans Af- fairs here announced that the aca- demic futures of more than 800 D.V.A.-financed students were in jeopardy since the students in question have used up service credits. Under D.V.A. regulations, student veterans are entitled to tuition and maintenance grants for only the period corresponding to the length of time served in the 'armed forces. Students who have completed this term have two alternatives, they may continue at their own expense of discontinue their educations. D.V.A. however, provides for the continuation of credits beyond the service period in cases where stu- dents have attained second class average marks or stand in the top 25 per cent of their classes, year by year until graduation. Officials said today that 280 of the 831 jeopardized vets will be permitted to continue on this basis and that special cases may increase this total. There are about 8,000 student veterans at the U. of T. proper. In the affiliated colleges, Osgoode Hall, Ontario College of Art, Col- leges of Optometry and Pharmacy, there are 108 similarly situated stu- dents whose credits have expired.

By now, Jack should be ready to go for a whole game, and this wil be a big help to the club, In addi. tion, Phillips has proven that he is a mighty valuable man to use in relief work, both as a pitcher and a hitter. * O° » Whitby Palm Sports will be idle until Wednesday night, when White Eagles will provide the opposition, as well as giving Whitby a chance to climb out of the league cellar. Last week, Whitby were helpless against the offerings of Doug Keeler for UA W.A, Keeler was at his best and stopped Whitby with a no-hitter.

In a special 900-word presentment yesterday, the jury contended the violence would have been avoided if the prisoners had been wearing chains and stripes. The report absolved Warden H. G. Worthy and five guards for blasting away as the negroes sought to flee the 12-foot barbed wire pri- son stockade in southeast Georgia after a day of disorders. Georgia chain gangs, made fam- ous by Robert Eliot Burns in his book and movie, "I Am a Fugitive From a Georgia Chain Gang," were outlawed after a storm of national criticism resulted in a penal reform movement under the administra- tions of former governors E.

Charges Against Children Untrue London, Ont., July 19--(CP) --Local civic officials last night claimed that the case of the "tip- pling" children had no basis. Af- ter interviewing several of 650 tenants in converted army huts at Queen's Park, officials said that complaints concerning semi- nude children who wandered un- attended about the civic emerg- ency housing centre, "tippling" from beer bottles and smashing many windows in adjacent build- ings were groundless, Save, Don't Spend, YOUR TAX CUT Unless folks plan what they will do with their new savings through the recent reduction in income tax, they're liable to find that extra ! money melting away, says Mr. Argo, local Bank of Montreal manager.
