VA Office Aids 424 Veterans During January
The local Veterans Administration office furnished information and assistance to 424 veterans and their dependents during January, Sherwin L. Derby, in charge of the office, reported recently.
In addition the V.A. office here assisted veterans and their dependents in filing 83 applications for various benefits provided by the government and administered by the V.A.
Derby also called attention to several veterans' benefits that will expire during 1949.
One of those is the "auto for amputees" program. June 29 is the final deadline for disabled veterans filing an application for a specially-equipped car at government expense.
Another approaching deadline is the matter of readjustment allowances. For veterans discharged from the armed forces before July 25, 1947, this benefit expires July 24 this year. The law provides that veterans may apply for readjustment allowances for periods of unemployment within two years from the date of discharge or from July 25, 1947, whichever is later.
Veterans who enlisted or re-enlisted between Oct. 6, 1945, and Oct. 6, 1946, may count their entire period of entitlement as war service so far as G.I. bill benefits are concerned. Therefore, veterans falling within this category may be eligible for readjustment allowances for two years from date of discharge.
Any World War II veteran who had active service between Oct. 8, 1940, and Sept. 2, 1945, is eligible for National Service Life Insurance at any time, provided he can pass a medical examination. Derby said that some veterans are under the erroneous impression that because they did not carry the insurance while in service they are not eligible for this protection now.
The V.A. will give a medical examination without charge at any V.A. office having a full-time physician, although any expense in connection with the examination must be borne by the veteran himself.
U.S. Rebuffed By Commies
By UNITED PRESS
Russia rebuffed the United States today when the U.S. embassy asked for permission to visit Mrs. Anna Louise Strong, American author arrested in Moscow for espionage.
The Soviet foreign ministry answered the request by saying merely that the 63-year-old American would be deported within a few days. The implication was that it would be unnecessary for an embassy representative to see Mrs. Strong.
The foreign ministry informed the embassy that Mrs. Strong had been arrested for "conducting espionage and subversive activities aimed at the Soviet Union"
Mrs. Strong long has been known for her pro-Soviet writings! She was a founder of the Moscow English-language newspaper, the Moscow Daily News.

Some journalism students may feel that working three years on the University Daily Kansan is too much time spent in the "shack", but Guy Pennock, Kansan printing plant foreman for the University press, has been working on the paper 38 years, and he still enjoys it.
KU Printer Enjoys Job After 38 Years On Kansan
Mr. Pennock came to Lawrence from Alma, in 1905 and got a job on the Journal-World. In 1911 he came to work for the University "Journalism Press," as it was then called. At that $\textcircled{4}$
Press," as it was then called. At that time the printing plant was in the basement of Fraser hall, where the home economics department is now located.
"When I came to the University there was just one other man in the printing plant and only one press," said Mr. Pennock. "But we didn't need much more, because we only printed the student paper twice a week during the school year and a graduate magazine each spring," he added.
At the present time University Press employees number about 50 almost equally divided between full-time workers and part-time students who are thus helping finance their way through the University. The plant includes composing room, pressroom, bindery, stenographic bureau, and a small offset department. Two years ago the production department was divided between Daily Kansan and publications and Mr. Pennock, because of his long association with the Kansan and his experience in working with students, became foreman in charge of producing the Kansan. John J. Verburg is plant foreman in charge of publications and job printing.
In his 38 years with the Daily Kansan, Mr. Pennock has seen many journalists go out of the University to become famous. Among those he could recall were Ben Hibbs, Louis Lacross, Raymond Clapper, Miles Vaughn, Guy Scribner, and Henry B. McCurdy.
Mr. Pennock enjoys working with University students and considers occasional misuses as just part of the day's work. "Clapper, Hibbs, McCurdy and Vaughn as students didn't always do everything perfect, either," he says. "I expect some of the present crop of journalism students to achieve just as much fame and success as any of the above." Mr. Pennock has taught courses in mechanics of printing and linotype operation.
Mr. Pennock, who was superintendent of the University press from 1920 to 1926, said he would be glad to see the journalism department move to the Fowler shops location, although he dislikes thinking about moving all the printing equipment.
"There will be much more equipment to move this time than there was last," he said. "When the shop moved in 1912, it had only one lino-

type and a small cylinder press." The shop now has 4 linotypes and five presses, besides the large one which prints the Daily Kansan.
"Journalism students don't spend as much time in the mechanical department as they once did," Mr. Pennock said. "At times students have hand-set all the headlines, and some have run the presses," he added.
Mr. Pennock thinks present journalism students get more training and have greater opportunities than those who have been in the department in the last 38 years.
