Veterans Benefits Are
Sustained in Congress
House Eliminates From Econ.
omy Bill Proposal to Re-
duce Payments

Washington, May 3-R- The
house Tuesday ripped $48,7l4,000 out
Of the economy bill by eliminating all
provisions decreasing veterans benc-
fits.
The vote was on q motion by Rep
resentative Bulwinkle Dem., N. c.
it was overwhelming.
The most bitterly opposed provis-
ions in the revision of benefits to vet
Grams against which the American Le-
gion and other veterans organizations
have campaigned, would prevent any
person having an income of $500 /;
single and $500 if married and $40c
! additional for each dependent. from
being entitled to any allowance, pen
sion or free disqualification excep.
those suff<ring from combat disabil-

At present a veteran admitted to q
hospital for service connected disabil-
ity receives $50 a mouth minimum
This provision would affect 1920 per

Others bitterly contested would
have:
Required emergency officers to have

| war and before November II, 1918
and war-connected disability before
becoming eligible for benefits of the
emergency officers requirement act
It would have removed $500 retired

Eliminated payments of $2.65 a day
to veterans in lieu of wages the!
would receive from employment dur

proximately 81 900 persons would have
been affected annually at an expected
saving OF 100000.
Abolished retroactive allowances for
more than six months prior to date OF
determination or review Of allowances

ans collect many thousands of dollars
in retroactive allowances spreading
