I received my training at Camp Wolters, Tex., and at the Military Intelligence Language School, Camp Savage, Minn. Then I was sent overseas as a member of lan guage personnel to the Pacific area to fight our common enemy, the Japanese. I served in Aus tralia, New Guinea, and the Phil ippines with the following outfits: GHQ AFWESPAC, X Corps, 24th and the 31st Divisions. As a mem-. ber of the language personnel, the type of work I did was interroga tion of prisoners, and translation of documents, which amounted to this: Seeking enemy information so that victory would be ours in a shorter time. I received my discharge in Ha waii, and returned to Lincoln, Neb., to resume my education. I may add that I was happy to re turn to the city, happy because I found that the people of Lincoln consider me no other than an American. However, today I was disillu sioned; I was living in an unreal world, without realizing that there are un-American practices here in the city. May I bring to your at tention the experience "which I had today. Three other fellows (Nebraskan, Korean-American, Japanese-American) and I en tered a certain cafe in Lincoln to have dinner. We sat at a booth for 20 minutes and waited to have our orders taken. But because we were not waited on, we wondered if we were sitting at the wrong place. One of our party got up' and - asked politely if we could have our orders taken. The wait ress replied, "Not with the com pany you got with you." Wishing to cause no disturbance we left I have never before encountered an experience such as this; and I was caught unaware. But later, I began to think perhaps if I went back wearing my Eisenhower jacket they might serve us. We returned to the cafe. They refused to serve me, and then I was lit erally pushed out of the place "You're not a white man, but a rat," and employee told me. My Nebraska friend intervened and asked him, "Do you consider your self superior to me, also?" The employee retorted, "You're not a white man either, but a rat run nin' around with a rat, and I don't want either one of you to come back in again." They don t need to worry; we won t. Lincoln is known for its pro gressive Americanism, and it is deplorable, indeed, to have such situations as this mar its record. Sincerely yours, MIKE UEOKA. Inter-Church.

Maureen O'Sullivan, who stars opposite Ray Milland in Para mount's "The Big Clock," won her first screen contract without even the formality of a test. GI students intending to study law can fairly accurately deter mine their chance for success by analyzing (1) their pre-lagal col lege grade; (2) subjects studied during this period; (3) legal ap titude tests; and (4) their choice of law school. These conclusions are derived from recently published research findings compiled by the Veterans administration for vocational aa vising. Studies conducted at Columbia University, Michigan and the Uni versity of Chicago disclosed that pre-legal college averages were more valuable in forecasting po tential failures than in predict ing degrees of success in law college. Marked relationship between undergraduate training in social sciences and law school achieve ment was noted by the VA re port. "The social science record of an individual has its greatest predictive value when it is used to forecast the student's law school performance at the same institution where the collegiate course was taken." General scholastic aptiutde tests and the length of pre-legaltrain-iYig courses are not reliable in predicting passing work in law school. The research which formed the basis of the VA report has been reported in a number of legal and educational journals, including the Illinois Law Review, the South ern California Law Review, American Law School Review, the Bar Exanminer, the Yale Law Journal, Psychological Bulletin, Columbia University Bulletin of Information, and others. The average age of veterans going to school under the G. I. bill of rights was 25 years, but advanced years and war exper ience are no bars to outstanding scholastic records, a recent VA re port states. To be eligible for education and training a veteran must have had at least 90 days of active military serivec with a discharge other than dishonorable, or less than 90 days only if his discharge was for a service-connected disability. Part or all of his service must have been on or after September 1940. As it stands, the G. I. bill grants eligible veterans education for a period of one calendar year, plus a month for every month of active service between Sep tember 16, 1940 and the official termination of the war, up to a maximum of 48 months. creases the security you have to offer for a loan by the amount of the guaranty; it tends to induce the lender to lend more nearly the full purchase price of the prop erty and to give you a better rate of interest, and finally 4 percent of the amount guaranteed is paid to the lender by VA and is an outright gift to you. Q. My wife and I plan to pur chase a $9,000 home. We are both World war II veterans. Can we acquire the property jointly and so increase the amount which may be guaranteed? A. Yes, you may acquire the property jointly, but the maxi mum guaranty may not exceed 50 percent of the loan. Q. I have a G. I. loan on my home and would like to know if I can have the loan extended? A. Yes, you can have the loan extended if the lender is willing to give you more time, but the ex tension must provide for complete payment of the loan within the 25-year maximum period provid ed by law.
