Vets To Get Huge Benefits
 After War
By NED NORDEEsS Associated Press)

WARRINGTON The folks back home. and especially the dads who fought in World War I, aren't for getting CT Joe and Jane when they csme marching home.
 Congress appears heartily in sup port or the American Legion-pro- posed s3,5O0,00O,0OO "GI Bill of Rights" The Senate, which now has it, almost unanimously regards the biu as one of the most important that has ever come before Congress.
 The veterans of the last war who were discharged in good physical condition were Americas forgotten men. Although they eventually re- ceiYed bonuses years after the war, very little else was done for them Those same veterans and admins IratiYe and legislative leaders are determined the men and women in the present conflict shall be given a better break.
 The bill represents a scientific approach to the readjustment of Americas 13,OOO,OOO fighting men and women back to civilian life. It has been estimated it will affect the lives of more than 40,000,000 Americans.
 Designed to Rehabilitate Veteran
 Actually. the measure offers an opportunity for the veteran able or disabled-to re-enter civilian life in a useful capacity. It is designed to educate him, support him and start him in business.
 Undoubtedly, one of its major aims is to prohibit an aftermath similar to the mad POS, when gen. eraI Iawlessness and wild living prevailed and many a jobless ez- soldier, trained to kill, drifted into gangsterism.
 Here is what the CT bill pro- vides:
 l. Unemployment compensation of s15 a week for a maximum of 52I weeks.
 2. A years educational or yOca- tional training for any man or wo- man of the armed forces with six months service, plus $50 a month for the single student, 275 a month TOT the arrmied, with tuition fees up to $500 a year
 9. s5OO,O00,00O for construction of additional hospital facilities and full care of disabled soldiers or sail ors until provision for their re- mobilization is made.
 f. Loans up to s1.0O0 for the purchase of homes, farms or small businesses, interest free for the first year, and carrying three per cent annual interest thereafter.
 5. 4 veterans placement board to obtain jobs for former service peo- | pie.
 $. Designation of veterans ad- ministration as an essential war agency entitled to priorities on per- sonnel, equipment and supplies.
 Fate of Nation in Their Hands
 Compare this with benefits of the last war: discharge pay of s60; 1 bonuses awarded some 15 years l a { CT averaging about S1,00O ! counting in the discharge pay; yo- cational and rehabilitation training for disabled veterans; some pension . and insurance payments.
 Referring to the pending bill, . Sen. Bennett c. Clark (D.-Mo.) l says:
