BONUS OFFICES
To ADD 400
EMPLOYEES
Dependency Decision to Be
Made This Week-,AppIi-
cations Arrive Daily

Addition Of approximately 400
employees to Federal bonus offices
today will practically complete the
lists Of personnel needed to admin.
lister the World War bonus.
The War Department las asked
for 800 typists, and the Navy De-
partment Is putting on ninety extra
employees.
However, it is probable that the
War Department and the Veter-
ans Bureau may increase the
strength Of their bonus forces dur
ing the early days of autumn, as
the work continues to accumulate
and becomes more complicated.
Having more than 1,JO0.UO0 APP
plications to work upon, the War
Department has begun to check
up the information given in these
claims and yesterday passed along
the first batch of 1000 to the
Veterans Bureau for further action,

The Navy Department, which
has received 100000 applications,
will begin sending its data to the
bureau by September 10. The Ma

portance to the widows and parents
Of deceased veterans is to be made
this week by the legal division of
the Veterans Bureau. This is in
connection with the dependency
feature of the bonus act.
Due to the elastic language OF the
law, no specific rules were laid
down for dependents to follow in
making application for the bonus,
insofar as proof Of dependency was
concerned,
Veterans Bureau Task.
The law merely stated that this
proof should be given, and stopped
there, without indicating how strong
or how detailed that proof should
be. So the Veterans Bureau has
had to take it up where Congress
left off.
For the. past several weeks. the
legal division Of the bureau has
been wrestling with a regulation
defining the dependency affidavit
or statement, or whatever it will be.
Meantime, thousands of depend.
ents, unaware Of the legal tangle,
have filed their applications, which
probably will be sent back for com
pletion.
