FBI CONFERENCES
ON JUNE 4-16
San Antonio, Tex.—M. W. Acers.
Special Agent in Charge of the
FBI Office at !;an Antonio, an-
nounced today that the regular
Spring series of FBI Law En-
forcement Conferences for all peace
officers in Southwest Texas will
be held between June 4-16, 1947
at Rock Springs, Brady, Iaredo,
Brownsville and Austin.
This plan of holding confer-
ences with representatives of all
types >f law enforcement agen-
cies n a nation-wide basis was
inaugurated by J. Edgar Hoover.
Director of the FBI, during the
fall of 1939. A program of in
struction and discussion of cur-
rent law enforcement problems is
followed at each of these meet-
ings to bring about greater co-
operation and coordination
among all branches of law en-
forcement.
"With Texas ranking fifth in
the nation in crime and more
crimes being committed today than
at any time in our country's
history, i: is vitally essential that
all peace officers be fully infornu-1
on all developments and the latest
techniques in order to meet this
challenge to the law enforcement
profession" said Acers. "We are
expecting a record attendance of
approximately 1,000 officers from
Southwest Texas at these five
meetings."
The program will feature a
demonstration of suggested pro-
cedures in conducting burglary
investigations, Acers stated. The
demonstration will be divided into
two sections. The first phase will
demonstrate the perpetration o/
a typical burglary by two crimi-
nals. The second part will be de-
voted to the investigation of the
crime by two officers who will
illustrate suggested investigates
procedure and techniques in bring-
ing about the identification and
apprehension of the persons re- j
sponsible, Acerr. said.
The conferences will be held at
the following places; Rock Springs,
June 4; Brady, June 6; I*aredo.
June 1ft; Brownsville, June 12;
and the final conference at Austin
on June 16, 1^47.

Washington. -The War Depart-
ment has asked all survivor* of
men and women who died while
serving in the Army to make
certain that two Army agencies
have their present addresses. Th
communications should be mailed

Texas and Louisiana are among
the 42 states with which the Vet
erans Administration now has
contracts providing for state ap-
proval and supervision of estab-
lishments that provide on-the-
job training for veterans.
The responsibility for approving
and supervising job-training in
industrial and other establishment*
rests with state approval agen
cies under the Servicemen's Read
justrnent Act (GI Bill).
Recently, Congress authorized
VA to reimburse the states for
their services and VA thus far has
obligated approximately $5,f 00,iW
for the current fiscal year ending
next June 30 for this purpose.
Under the contracts, the states
approve applications of e-tablnh
mrnts for on-the-job training
after determining that the es-
tablishment meets certain t*asir
training requirements.
These include: (1) The training
must lie adequate to qualify thf
veteran for the job he in training
for;
(2) there must t>e reasonable cer
tainty that the job for which the
veteran is training will be avail-
able to him at the end of the
training period;
(3) progression in the job must bo

than factors such as length of
Applications from disabled
World War II veterans in Texas,
Louisiana and Mississippi for re
habilitation are coming into the
Veterans Administration at the
rate of more than 3,000 a month,
VA reported this week.
Many of these cases are severe-
ly disabled men who are just now
being discharged from military
hospitals, VA said, indicating that
the real job of restoring war in
jured to errtployabiPty i« only be
ginning
VA is already supervising the
education or training of more
than 21,000 disabled veteran* in
the three states. More than 2<:0,-
000 non-disabled veterans are
training or going to school in
the Dallas Branch Area.
Congress has directed that Va
complete the rehabilitation of dis-
ablid veterans within four years
of training but allows extension
of this time in exceptional cases.
A further indication that the
rehabilitation program for dis-
abled World War II veterans is in
its infancy is the fact that only
">.1 of the more than 14,000 <li*.
abled veteran* training in Texan
have progressed to the jniirit where
VA considers them completely re-
habilitated.

"The grasshopper is beginning
to leave the fence row now and
i« gradually working its way into
the field," states C. A." Stone,
County Agricultural Agent, Mas

Instead of being poisoned while
young they are being allowed to
multiply by the thousands and
as a consequence in a very short
time farmers will begin to realise
the effects of their destruction.
Stone asks. "Why not apply
