A Wedge in the Door

There is a fair chance that in the few weeks remaining to it, Congress will pass legislation forbidding the use of Veterans Administration funds for educating veterans in Communist-owned schools. The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has discovered that at least four secondary educational institutions, owned and run by Communists, have received over $3,000,000 from the United States Government for veterans’ tuition since 1945. The Subcommittee has concluded that since the 1944 “GI Bill” provisions prohibit the VA from denying funds to schools “approved” by state agencies, congressional action is needed to exclude Communist schools.
