T0THE BONUS
PROBLEM
Rx THE BONUS EDITOR

Many veterans, writing to the
Bonus Editor of The washington
Times, have asked If a beneficiary
may be named for the baby
bonds" they will receive in ex.
change for their adjuSted-service
certificates.
The question has probably
arisen because of the fact that
beneficiary-a wife, sister, relative
or friend-might be designated on
the certificate itself.
While no official ruling has as
yet been made, the recently en-
acted law by which the baby
bonds" are legalized to pay off the
bonus states that the bonds may
be cashed by the veteran "or his
estate"
Deperds on will
This phrase would seem to mean
that no beneficiary may be named
on the bonds themselves, but that
they may be converted into money
by heirs of a veteran who dies
while in possession of the securi-
ties.
The question Of who would be
the heir can readily be settled II
the veteran has left a will desig.
mating a particular person. Other.
wise, the usual court action dis
tributing an estate would probably
hold good.
Strengthening this interperta-
ton is the fact that, during his
lifetime, no one but the veteran
himself may cash his bonds. His
name .s printed upon them, and
they are nonassignable. Hence, it
would seem likely that official
regulations will state that no
beneficiary may be named on the
bonds themselves.
Veterans desiring to make GER
tain that a particular beneficiary
shall receive his bonds in the
event Of his death may take sew
eral courses.
Leave in Vault
One is the making of the will,
specifically leaving the bonds,
and the power of converting them
into money, to a particular per-
son.
Another method would be for
the veteran to cash the bonds him.

ceipt, and place them in one Of

Governor in Hospital
If the governor should decide
upon a second visit, however, 1t
was rumored, 1t would not take
place until after Leibowitz's talk
with Hauptmann tomorrow. Lei
bowitz has persistently refused to
discuss the case since his first
visit to the death house on Thurs
day, promising that he would issue
no statements until after he had
seen the condemned man again.
The governor has been confined
all week to Mercer Hospital, where
he underwent a nasal operation.
With the expiration Of Haupt-
mann's reprieve, the attorney gen.
erals office must go before Su-
preme Court Justice Thomas M.
Trenchard, the carpenters trial
Judge, with a request that he be
resentenced.
Trenchard Ill
Justice Trenchard had been i'll
at his home recently with a
throat ailment, but has indicated
that he would be at his office in
Trenton early in the week. In
the event that he is unable to
get there before Wednesday, how
ever, it was predicted the re-
sentence warrant would be taken
to his home for his signature.
Under the New Jersey law, the
juriSt signing a death warrant
must fix the time Of execution not
sooner than four weeks nor longer
than eight weeks from the date Of
signing Of the warrant. If Justice
Trenchard follows the precedent
he set in signing two previous
death warrants for Hauptmann. it
Is believed he will be likely to fix
the date of the execution during
