VA to End Free Schooling Program Under New Rules
Washington reports the Veterans Administration plans to shut its $30 billion free schooling program. Regulation issued April 1 would bar many veterans from education aid unless enrolled by July 25, 1951, and rules will restrict changing courses and starting new ones after completing a course. The act requires schooling to begin within four years of discharge or by July 25, 1947. Estimates project total costs near $25-$30 billion through 1966 with $16 billion projected for the next six years.

Thousands of Texas veterans are being trained in modern farming methods to become productive citizens. Calvin Weinheimer, 23, a Gillespie County trainee, used army savings to buy equipment and 303 acres, starting with 75 head of sheep. He joined the Gillespie Zone Veterans Vocational School, built farm gear at low cost, and crafted a bulldozer attachment, a garden tractor, and a cattle guard, while subsistence funds aided his transition to a self-sustaining farm.
