couple. Mr. and Mrs. Selectman, died

Man Dies in Attempt
To Rescue Youth, 13
NEW YORK, Feb 20—(^V—A fuel
company worker's effort* to save a
schoolboy failed Thursday night as
both died under 20 tons of coal cas-
cading into the hopper of a Brooklyn
coal yard.
The youth was identified as Tim-
othy Schempp. 13. and the man who
died with him was Jack Apollo, 33.
Both lived in Brooklyn.
Apollo was working in the yard
seeking veterans.
A report to the lawmakers pointed critically to courses in
such things as flying, dancing, music, photography and horse-
manship training by mail.
The GI bill allows veterans to go to school or take special
training at federal expense. Some 4,500,000 have taken ad-
vantage of the measure.
President Truman first called for a restudy of the law
in his budget message to congress last month.
Friday’s budget bureau report was sent to Chairman Rogers
(R., Mass.) of the house veterans affairs committee.
Among "certain weaknesses -
and deficiencies” in the Veteran
