This organization has unanimously voted to intercede for the disabled vocational student veterans at the University of Southern California affected adversely by a recent order of the Veterans' Bureau directing that all degree students here and elsewhere shall go off training pay from the end of the term in June until the fa'l term. The order applies to such students at all colleges and universities taking vocational training for degrees. There are about 365 disabled veterans at the University of Southern California. Hsilf these trainees will lose their pay. They have protested the order from the bureau and are being backed im by the American Legion posts as well as other veterans’ organizations. The Los Angeles unit of the Ex-Service Men's Anti-Bonus League has urged the national league headquarters to go to the aid of the disabled veteran trainees. National President Durham and his staff have been asked to attend to this matter personally, since the league has stressed its motto “For the disabled everything, for the able-bodied nothing.” The Los Angeles unit h?.s also written to California Congressional delegates to take up the protest and secure all possible relief for the trainees in question.

The mere fact that prices have been reduced has nothing to do with the merits of the show, but indicates the kind hearts of the Show Committee, wh'ch is composed of George Hall as chairman, and Ruth Seaver, Altabelle Ross, Phoebe Sisco and Solly Seamans. With the assistance of Stanley-Wheeler, business manager, seats will be sold at the aforementioned price of 75 cents for the ground fioor and th*> first four rows of Bovard Auditorium, w'hile the remainder of the house will be disposed of 50 cents.
