LIGHT
Veterans Pensions,
Blocked at Present
Session, Coming

WASHINGTON - A back
stage scheme to sneak over
outright pensions for World
war veterans has been block
ed for at least another year.
Chief Pension Advocate John
Rankin's own committee re-
pudiated his plan to hand out
$40 a month to all 1917-19l8
soldiers over So, regardless.
Rep. Rankin attached his pro-
posal as a rider to a general vet
Grams measure for revising exist
ing legislation affecting the vet
Grams administration. Cert n
American Legion spokesman nave
spoken favorably of such general
nensions. but the Legion itself has
so far opposed them. Therefore.
members of his committee refused
TO okeh Rankin's pension plan.
Everybody in the know, how
ever. expects such legislation
10 pass within the next few
years, repeating the history
of G. A. X. and Spanish vet
Grams success on Capitol Hill.
Year by year the World war
yeterans are becoming the domi-
nant bloc in both chambers. From
a handful ten years ago they now
have "a members in the senate and
more than $50 in the house. When
they get around TO it. they can
effect a combination with some
other lobby-farm, urban. coal, oil
that will be irresistible.
There will be outright handouts
for the boys in khaki some day.
