In interviewing the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, one point aside from
the main legislative points was
stressed by their legislative agent.
Omar B. Ketchum. This concerned
the Veterans Administration, which
the VIEW wants entrusted with all
matters concerning veterans.
In addition, the VFW wants a
greatly increased appropriation
for the Veterans Administration.
Up until recent weeks. for ex-
ample, the administration was
extremely shorthanded, due to
lack of manpower priorities,
and was falling behind seriously
on handling cases. According to
Ketchum, this has been correct
ed; and the VIEW is going to
ask for $500, 100000 more for the
administration as a starter.
With the number of veterans
now coming out of the service, and
the number that will be out after
the victory is won, the labor move
ment will have TO keep on the
alert TO protect and advance the
interests of the returned service
men and women. The CLIO alone
has more than 1,150,000 members in
the armed forces and the Merchant
Marine.

The obligation Of the county to

help them with every means at
our command; with money. with
education, with Jobs, with the full
est opportunity to enjoy the train
ing and the security they need.
How clear Is Congress on this
duty? With this question in
mind, The CLIO NEWS has gone

In the hopper, and being offered

CLIO, UAW-CIO, the Mine, Mill &
Swelter Workers, the maritime

The Lucas bill provides for Fed

technically the states are still

The CLIO NEWS, have inter-
viewed existing veterans organi-
cations, especially the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars, to get their
views.
Broadly speaking, veterans legis-
lation at present offered falls into
three categories: Mastering out
pay, disability allowances and edu-
cational assistance.
MASTERING OUT: One bill has
already passed the Senate on mus
tering-out pay; several others ar"
pending in the House. The Sena
bill is S. 1543. and provides a fP
sum for varying lengths of servic
at home and overseas.
According to the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, who have had years
of experience in guiding legislation
through Congress, there is one
main objection to the kind of
mustering-out pay in this hill.
This comes from the fact that
q veteran with many months of
service In the u. s. and a small
er number overseas may he
penalized by the method of calcu-
lating the pay on a monthly
basis. Thus. the VIEW cites the
case of soldier severely wound
ed ut Tunisia who served 81
months here before serving eight
months overseas. This man, the
VFW points out, Is eligible for
$500, the same amount payable
to q veteran with IL months Of
home service only.
The VIEW suggests overcoming
this by putting the compensation
on a per diem basis; /. e., so much
day for every day served at
home, larger amount for every
day served abroad.
In addition to the Senate bill,
there are number of bills offered
in the House. The best ct these
is HR. 1858. offered by Rep. Dingell
ID, Mich.) and supported by the
CLIO. 1t provides S1.66 a day for
overseas service, $133 for home
service. CLIO is urging an amend
rnapt ~ include ,,4nroLo~. .o...1..
DISABILITY: Many cases of
hardship to wounded and disabled
veterans have been reported, due
largely TO the delay between their
discharge and the clearing of their
cases for present disability allow
ances.
To take care Of this situation,
Rep. Sasscer 3D., Md.), this week
put into the House hopper HR.
1922. which gives the disabled
veteran an allowance to tide him
over until the Veterans Bureau
has had the time to put his
case through the necessary ad-
ministrative steps. The bill has
been referred to the Committee
on World War Veterans Legisla-
ton, Rep. John E. Rankin (p0ll-
taxer, Miss.), chairman.
In addition, there are numerous
other bills for disability compen-
sation, including measures by Rep.
Rogers (R., Mass), Dickstein 3D.,
N. ", Kearney (R., N. ", and
others.
EDUCATION: There are two
principal bills on deck to aid vet
Grams in carrying on their educa-
ton after discharge, one IS. 1901
by Sen. Thomas 3D., Utah), and the
