Such a setup would pose a week-end problem for the Southeastern Greyhound Lines here, said Marion Owen, regional manager. He planned to confer with authorities at Fort Knox tomorrow about obtaining additional equipment to handle discharged soldiers as well as permanent personnel who come to Louisville on Saturdays and Sundays. He believes the company has enough equipment now to handle the week-day traffic. Funneling 700 to 1.200 soldiers a day through Louisville to their homes in Kentucky naturally would put an added burden on railroads, said passenger officials here, although they pointed out that soldiers would use various means of transportation to get home, including hitchhiking.

It has been understood for some time that a i i onal separation centers would have to be established because of Japan's sudden surrender and consequent discharge of overseas veterans ahead of the Army's contemplated schedule. Only separation center in the Fifth Service command, which includes Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia, is at Camp Atterbury, where 700 to 800 soldiers are being discharged daily. By January 1, it is believed that the number discharged there will be increased to 1,500 daily.

Would 'Trocess" Kentuckians. It was learned unofficially that the separation center at Fort Knox would handle about the same number of returning troops as Camp Atterbury, and it was believed that while the Indiana camp processes Indiana, eastern Ohio and West Virginia soldiers, Fort Knox will handle veterans whose homes are in Kentucky and Tennessee. Camp Atterbury has a personnel of 1,000 officers, enlisted men and civilians handling discharges of returning veterans. It is believed that Fort Knox would need at least that many in its new separation center.

Bill of Rights and the veterans' rehabilitation program, Athol Lee Taylor, member of the Law School faculty at the University of Louisville, discussed "What College Has to Offer the Returned Veteran" with 200 reconditioning soldiers at Nichols General Hospital yesterday. "With the accelerated program and the credit allowed for intellectual improvement while in the armed forces, it is possible to acquire a college diploma in record time," Taylor said. He explained that American Bar Association will grant credit up to a year for studies pursued while in service, and that all accredited schools and colleges make a similar allowance. Taylor stressed the postwar need for accountants, lawyers, dentists and doctors. To the veteran who thinks he is too old for law school, Taylor pointed out that age is no longer a barrier.

"You don't make any money as a lawyer until you're 30," he added, "so what have you got to lose."
