W.A.A. Sales Unfair To Vets Says Official
Washington (UP) — An official of the war assets administration testified to a house committee that the "impending election" brought his agency to "a belated awakening" that veterans had been treated unfairly in the sale of surplus radio equipment.
James E. Waddell, formerly in charge of W.A.A. electronics priorities, described his difficulties in assuring veterans and other priority eliminates the radio equipment they were supposedly entitled to under the law.
"There was an impending election and the veterans' claims pyramiding so presented a serious problem." Waddell replied. "There was a beaten awakening that these people might be incensed at the way they had been treated and do something about it."
Within the last few weeks, he assorted, there has been a "change in policy" toward veterans. Committee Counsel Hugh D. Wise, Jr., asked what had brought about the change.
The witness, now a member of the W.A.A. scrap and salvage committee, said a principal change had been in commissions. Under the old regulations, he explained, a private agent for the W. A. A. received a 10 per cent commission on sales to the general public but no commission on sales to veterans and other priority chainters.
Now the agents get the same commission on sales to veterans.
"Let me be fair to the agents." Waddell said. "They are not in business for their health. They got 10 percent on their sales to the general public and not a thin dime on their sales to priority holders.
in other words, the priority holders were put at the bottom of the list."
He described the difficulties of William O. Wanamaker, of Topeka, Kan, a veteran whom he characterized as a "two time loser." On two occasions, he said, he froze equipment for Wanamaker. Each time the equipment was put up for sale to the general public.
The third time, he continued, he froze 35 receivers held by the Hallicrafters Co. of Chicago and this time "by main strength and awkwardness he got them."
But, he added, Wanamaker got the sets only after his brother, an army colonel, had a personal conference with Lester L. Kelsey, a Hallicrafters official.
"Mr. Kelsey offered him $20 a set not to take them away," the witness asserted. He added that Kelsey told Colonel Wanamaker:
"Your brother is the last God damned veteran that will get anything out of this plant."

Women Voters Will Meet Thursday
Quonset Huts Won't Be Bad For Studying (Unless It Hails)
The quenches hut, shaped like a loaf of bread with over-active yeast ferments, may help KU. students find the value of pi, if Aristotle ever worried about prohibition or how many pounds of coffee it takes to keep the average Brazilian awake.
Plenty of University students will find themselves burning midnight oil in the quonset study hall that's being set up behind Frank Strong hall now. In fact, 200 or 300 people will find room enough to read something heavier than "Gone with the Wind."
Imagine your first study session in a ouonset study hall.
It's raining, because it always rains here in the fall. Dutifully, you dodge in with an arm full of books and the snapping of the rain on the tin roof provokes the remark, "Thought some prof was drilling me with a machine gun."
Then an ex-GI grumbles about hating the tin cottage because it reminds him of his Army life and when he was stationed in an Alaskan quonset hut with visiting Eskimos, who stood around quietly munching blubber.
Someone opens a window. You glance up to see a janitor cleaning F sharp on one of the pianos in
Scarab Meets Tonight
Program activities for the coming year will be discussed at a meeting of Scarab, professional architectural fraternity, at 7 tonight in 205 Marvin hall.
Turney Recommends Self-Improvement
"There is no royal-road to self-improvement," said Dr. A. H. Turney, director of the guidance bureau, in his speech at Tuesday night's Y.M.C.A. meeting.
Maintenance of good health, a respect for the other fellow's opinion, and insight into one's own conduct, are principles of successful adjustment, Dr. Turney emphasized.
Self-improvement, he said, is the result of careful planning and continuous striving.
During Is President Of Pre-Nursing Club
Jane During heads the list of officers elected Tuesday at the first meeting of Pre-Nursing club.
Alta Jackson was elected secretary-treasurer; Elaine Jost, program chairman, Margaret Straka, publicity chairman; and Louise Sandifer, social chairman.
Frank Strong hall. A few professors walk stiffly in, nodding their heads and agreeing that students are able to study in the hut.
You finally decide the black print in a text book looks quite attractive. You find yourself studying and thanking Allah that K.U. bought the tin hut.
The club of student nurses and graduate students is sponsored by Miss Sara Patterson, of the nursing and home economics department.
But if you're still here in 1949 and the qounset hut's still here, you'll be knocked from your seat at 10, 2 and 4, by vibration from the tolling of nearby carillon bells.
You won't mind though—by that time you'll be too numb to care.
Christian Fellowship Postpones Election
Election of officers of the Inter-Varsity Christian fellowship has been postponed until at later meeting, Paul Neuswander, director of the Bible study, announced.
The fellowship met Tuesday in Myers hall for regular Bible study. Plans were discussed for getting larger attendance at the 7:30 a.m. daily prayer services in Myers hall.
Meeting Of K.U. Dames
Members of K.U. Dames will meet at 8 tonight in Myers hall to make preparations for the carnival mixer for new members on Oct. 17. Mrs. Robert Matchette especially requested all team captains to be present.
