Although the psychological pressures that complicate a serviceman's return to academic life have received careful attention from various offices, the pattern of readjustment is not yet clear. For one thing, the veteran finds himself initially bewildered by the sudden array of responsibilities that confront him when he returns to college. The veteran may consider himself fortunate to be clear of that chain of command that formerly made decisions for him.

More and more, veterans and veteran organizations are advocating that the government increase its contribution to the ex-serviceman's education. They contend that the government has committed itself to a certain course of action and has made guarantees to veterans--guarantees which are not being fulfilled.

One good bet is squatty...

There were eight million answers and some of them were even printed in TIME, with those three little words "Serviceman's Name Withheld" at the end of every G.I. letter. . . . Comes now two letters [TIME, Aug. 19], one praising and one ribbing the brass, one signed by Ex-T/Sgt. So-and-so and the other by So-and-so, ex-Pfc, A.U.S. . . . I tell you, peace, atomic or otherwise, is wonderful...

...test case was an ex-serviceman and welder in Brooklyn, Abraham Fishgold. He had been laid off while nonveterans went on working (TIME, June 18, 1945). Fishgold won his superseniority suit for $86.40 damages in a lower court. But Fishgold's union carried the fight to the Supreme Court. Fishgold, no longer welding, is selling trinkets in Harlem...
