Disability Rate Change

Because - -.e much greater per-
centage of survival from gun
shot wounds of the brain, chest and
abdomen in this war than in World
War I and because of new disabili-
ties incident to service in the trop-
les, the Veterans administration has
adopted a new rating schedule in
determining the degree OF disability
suffered by veterans of this war.
The schedule, which has been in
preparation for two years, replaces
and liberalizes many provisions OF
one prepared in 1888 and lists, for
example, 176 separate disabilities of
bones, joints and muscles with nu-
merous gradations within each, as
compared to 1875 listings in the pre-
vious schedule.
Special attention has been given
in the new service-connected dis
ability ratings to scars resulting
from explosions, oil burns and the
residuals from frozen or immersion
foot. A number of tropical diseases
have been listed as cause for dis
ability with special ratings adapted
for each. although only malaria
and flariasis have been encountered
among discharged veterans.
Changes in the medical concept
of the relationship Of specific dis
eases to other conditions and to their
service connection are also reflected
in the new schedule This has re-
suited in the inclusion of many new
disabilities, some of which are
rated as high as 100 per cent on a
temporary basis where they are
not expected to produce more than
a 10 per cent permanent disability.
An changes are designed to facili-
tate more accurate and more equita
BILE ratings for the various types of
disabilities.
In using the new rating schedule,
however, the basic policy of the Vet
Grams administration remains un-
changed and the veteran is allowed
the benefit of the doubt as between
the higher Of two ratings, in deter
mining whether or not a disability
Is service-connected.

Questions =! AnsWers
@. How does the death rate of
wounded soldiers in the present war
compare with that of the First
World war?
A. According to the war department
announcement June l, the death rate
of our wounded soldiers in this war
is per cent. The death rate of
wounded soldiers, who lived long
enough to reach surgery in the First
World war was "a per cent.
@. Would transfer to a different
outfit overseas account for the de-
motion of a corporal to private?
A. The war department says that
a soldier could be denoted, without
prejudice, to the grade of private if
he was transferred into an organiza-
ton where there was no vacancy in
his grade.
@. Is former member of the Sea-
bees, who participated in the action
at Vella LaveIla entitled to a star?
A. One star has been authorized to
be worn on the Asiatic Pacific area
service ribbon for participation in
one or more Of the following actions:
Vella Gulf action, August 6 and Z,
1913; Vella Lavella occup alton. Au-
gust 15-October 16, 1943, and action
off Vella Lavella October 6-7, 1943
@. How soon after filing applica-
ton for a pension can the widow of
a war veteran expect payment?
A. There would be no way of tell
ing the exact time which would
elapse, but the pension would be
retroactive from the date of appli-
cation.
@. Would you advise dropping
government insurance policy?
A. Most service officers believe it
advisable not to drop government in
surance, especially if you have a
service disability and likely will not
be able to pass physical examina-
ton for private insurance. A ma
jority of veterans are converting
their government insurance into 20
payment or other form of private
life insurance At least, the veteran
should permit his insurance to
run its present term until he has a
chance to analyze his ability to keep
up an insurance schedule Of pay
ments. We suggest that you con-
suit your local draft board, veterans
administration or your private in
surance company.
@. Can a veteran of either this
war or the First World war enter a
hospital 'in another state to take ad-
vantage Of better climate, or must
he reniain in the hospital within the
state in which he lives?
A. According to the Veterans ad-
ministration, it is possible in some
cases to be transferred to a hos.
pital outside his state. His transpor.
tation would not be paid for unless
the physician in charge ordered
such a transfer, You should refer
the matter to the regional Office Of
the Veterans administration which

A. 1. A. WANTS RUG MATERIAL
 FOR VETERANS

More materials suitable for mak- ing of rag rugs are wanted by the American Legion Auxiliary Rehab- ilitation Committee. Clean cotton or rayon rags, in bright colors, are the most usable. Carpet wrap is also on the much-needed list.
 These materials are being shipped to the Veterans Hospital at Amer ican Lake, for use by the veterans. The making of these rugs is an im- portant part of the rehabilitation program for disabled veterans, furn- ishing as it does occupation for both hands and minds, as well as addi- tional income for the men.
 Mrs. Ray Peterson, Department Rehabilitation Chairman, who visited the Veterans Hospital at American Lake last winter, said the demand for material to make rugs is always greater than the supply available to the veterans, just as the demand for the finished rugs is greater than the men can supply, due to lack of material with which to work.
 Two large cartons of rug rags were packed last night by Auxiliary mem- bers, meeting at the home of Mrs. Alfred Zenger. The collection of material will continue this week un- til Friday, when it will be packed and shipped as soon as possible.
 The material may be left at the Juneau Florist Shop, or at Mrs. Zenger's home in the evening. Any further information desired may be had by ealing Mrs w. J. Manthey, Black 309, during the evening.

 Funeral services for John Beaton at Anchorage are pending the arrival of son, Neal Beaton, from flight school in Louisiana.
 The Anchorage Daily Times of last Saturday, June 22, airmailed to the Empire. carried the following in the editorial column:
 It was no small loss to the Terri tory of Alaska this week when the lives of two men, inseparably identi- fled with the development of the Northland, were snuffed out sudden ly in an automobile accident at Ophir.
 Both MT. Shonbeck and MT. Bea- ton are figures who will always be remembered by their wide circle oi friends and will always be men, ticned in any historic article on the territory.
 The loss will be felt among the oldtimers who date back to the pioneer days and the early gold camps of Alaska, for both of them were of that group.
 The loss will be felt by Anchorage residents who knew the men so well and keld them in high esteem. The loss will be felt by the Kusk- okwim country, where the mining activities of both men were of sucf

great economic importance.
 In MT. Beaton the territory lost the man who discovered one of its greatest gold camps in its colorful history. It was he who first called the word gold" in the Iditarod country and brought on one of the greatest stampedes and the con- sequent development of interior Alaska.
 While this discovery looms large in his life's work, MT. Beaton was always recognized as one of Alaska $ placer leaders. He invested his money in many prospects and en- couraged dozens of miners to de- velop their ground.
 In MT. Shonbeck the territory lost one of it's foremost civic and busi- ness leaders. Besides figuring in the gold rushes of the early days, he participated in the development of Anchorage. As a business leader here he worked on numerous civic projects that helped make Anchor age the city it is today.
 But his interest widened with the years. Farming possibilities in the Matanuska valley drew him to that section where he developed one of the finest farms that country has ever seen. His products figured largely in the federal considerations that led to the establishment of the farm project there in 1885.
 Aviation, something new and mis- understood in the early days, also became of interest to him. He was a part of the first aviation firm to be organized in Anchorage. It was because he invested funds to help make the firm operate that the first airplanes came here and start ed the aviation business which is now the city's foremost industry.
 In government he was active through the Democratic party, serv- ing in that party's highest territor- ial office as national committeeman. It is often said that he turned down
