VETERANS URGED TO PAY
PREMIUMS ON INSURANCE
Great Amount Of Converted Poll
: o. 3.
cies Retards Work, Hines

Estimating the number Of converted
insurance policies applied for by vet
Grams during the month Of June al
between $4,000 and 100000, Director
Hines of the Veterans Bureau yester
day urged veterans to continue paying
their premiums even though they have
not yet received their policies.
The enormous amount of work which
has piled up at the bureau, Gen. Hines
pointed out, has passed all expecta
tons and makes the task Of record
ing and issuing the new converted
policies an unprecedented one."
The exact amount of insurance re.
instated and converted before mid
night Of July 2, when the offer ceased
by act of Congress, Gen. Hines said,
could not be given due to the fact
that all applications have not yet
reached Washington from the bureaus
regional offices and hospitals. Out of
the estimated number of nearly 200.-
600 converted policies Gen. Hines
thought that more than 100000 of
these were policies which had been al
lowed to lapse and had been reinstated.
Applications are being acted upon"
said Gen. Hines, lin the order in which
they are received in the bureau"
