However, there "a some talk
now OF changing this policy with
respect to world War veterans.
That Is, instead Of waiting q few
pears TO place them IN a position
10 receive monthly pensions based
on ags as well as disability. that
steps be taken TO make provision
for them under the Social Secur-
ity Act so that the government
win pay, TO veterans something IN
addition TO the amount that they
would regularly obtain under the
provisions of that Act. This Is q
suggestion which Is now being
studied, and TO which I am giving
attention. Time will not permit
me to discuss It In detail here.
In fact, until further studies are
made, no possible prediction can
be made OF the practicability Of
such q plan. Il Is an indication,
however, that this administration
Is looking forward and not back
ward, with respect TO veterans re-
lief. Veterans and their depen-
dents can have every confidence
that,a fair pension and relief poll
Icy will be followed by the Demo-
cratic administration.

where he would soon be busy kill
ing rats and fighting cats. After
few hours he would return to the
ship. During the war ship was

was stored awaiting the arrival of

Tom had made many voyages, their
ship was docked close to this meat
ship. Tom went ashore as usual,
but failed to return before the ship
started on her next voyage. The
boys worried and wondered about
him. One sailor said he believed
he knew where Tom was, on the
meat ship. AS soon as the ship
made that port again, he went
ashore and soon returned with Tom
