Dewey vetoes G.1 diploma measure in war veteran debate
Gov. Thomas E Dewey vetoed a bill granting high school diplomas to veterans who served one day or more as seniors before war service. He cited a State Education Department warning that such diplomas would be worthless for college or professional credit and hinder veterans seeking further education or employment. He noted existing credit rules already aid veterans with Army training and that premature graduation would not help in later education or careers.
