ing several. Of the much misunder-
stood features Of the bureaus endeav-
ors. The bureau is not administering
q pension law, he explained, but ac-
cording to the terms of the act un-
der which it was created can pay COM
pensation only to men whose disabili-
ty is traceable to war service. A re-
cent amendment to the law permits
the bureau to extend disqualification
only, to men who have disabilities
which are not traceable to war SER
vice, but no compensation can be paid
them, and many ex-service men mis-
understand this provision, he said.
Hoverson urged those who have
not yet applied for their adjusted
compensation to do so at once, since
the time for such applications expires
next January /. If an ex-service man
delays in making application and
should die before such application ID
filed, his dependents lost three-fifths
Of the value Of the, award, he explain
ed. He also urged those who had
dropped their government insurance
to reinstate it as soon as possible. as
the time limit on such reinstatement
is definitely. fixed at July 2, this
year, and no further extension Of the
final date is anticipated.
