Washington, D. c. - Fighting
has ceased but the war won't be
over for those who have to pay
it's costs and care for the wounded,
seeing to their rehabilitation, the
Budget Bureau has announced via
a pile of staggering figures.
War costs and veteran aid will
total $344, ,OO0, ,0OO, 900 by next sum-
mer, the bureau estimates. Educa-
tional costs for returning veterans
and their readjustment will take
$4,000, ,OOO,O 900 the bureau has an
nounced. On top of this the yearly
cost to provide adequate veteran
aids will total in the vicinity Of
50, 600, 100000 each year for 10
years, it was said. There will be
gradual decline each year.
Victory Bond Money Essential
Continued need for huge Bond
sales and the holding of those now
owned until maturity was seen
with the release OF the figures.
More than ever, it was said, ITO
have and to hold" applies to Vic
tory Loan and War Bonds. More
than ever, it is necessary to give
alI-out support to the Victory
Loan, officials said.
The Budget Bureau estimates
that "war costs-actual and pros
pective-will amount to $340, ,000,-
OOO, 900 by next June 80, and the
public debt will approximate
s273, ,OO0, ,0O0, 900, as compared tt
the statutory limit Of 100000,
100000" for the fiscal year d
1916. Add the veteran cost to ths
war cost and the estimated tOta
is $344, ,OO0, 200, 900.
Mr.. Harold D. Smith, Bulge
Bureau Chief, said that recastini
| the figures that went to. Congress
in the annual Presidential bulge
message in January show that tn
original estimate Of SIC, 0,0OO, 900,
600 for the war this year alone ha
been reduced to $50, ,500, ,00O, 900 du'
! to the wars end.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1945-11-30

When this year ends there will
remain unobligated authorizations
of nearly $4,000, 900, 900, and un-
liquidated obligations of nearly
$50, 200, 100000 approx imately.
Even with victory some Of these
authorizations will be needed for
meeting expenses incident to the
liquidation of the war effort.
"Not only war;" Mr.. Smith re-
minded, 'sbut also rehabilitation
of the war machine is costly"
Thus it is seen the holding Of Vic
tory and War Bonds by their own
ers and the sale of more Victory
Bonds becomes the first duty of
the home front in its fight to
maintain stable economy and to
defeat destructive initiation, it was
pointed out.
Because Of the educational and
readjustment program allowances
for veterans, it is estimated the
cost there will be about $4,000
OOO, 900 in the rehabilitation and
immediate postwar period. This al
lotment is for retraining of re-
turning veterans who have been
wounded and unable to earn their
living at their old trade; the re-
placement Of legs and arms and
| Of living costs while in training
| or during disqualification.

training and give financial assist
ance to the men. .
Training and other rehabilita-
tion afforded will 60 to the men

mony among nations in the years

that freedom
All of as know, without being
told, some Of the reasons.
We know that a million and
quarter Americans were killed or
wounded and that we must take
care Of the injured men and the
families Of the dead.
Bonds to Bring Them Home
We know that there are still
millions Of Americans overseas
and that we must bring them
home as soon as we can and main
tain them till they get here
We know that the G.. l. Bill OF
Rights gives these men - and
rightly-mustering out pay, loans,
education-a chance to make up
for the years they have lost-a
chance to get start in the free
and peaceful world they won for
aN of us.
These facts are obvious - just
rs obvious as the fact that it will
take a lot of money to handle the
problems they present.
It's also obvious, when you come
to think of it, that winding up a
war as big as this one is expen-
sive business in other ways. For
instance, huge sums are still re-
quired to pay for war materials
which were ordered, produced and
delivered some time ago.
These reasons for buying extra
Bonds in the Victory Loan are
clear and easily understood.
But there is another reason for
making the Victory Loan a sue
cess which, perhaps, doesn't come
30 easily and clearly to mind.
In these years of war, the
American people have displayed
mighty sound judgment.
Bonds For Your Future, Too
Man by man, family by family,
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1945-11-30

group by group they have come
to accept Bond buying as a way
to obtain financial and economic
security for themselves as indi-
viduals and for their country.
Whole communities have thus
changed, in the last few years,
from debt-ridden, hand-to-mouth
groups to communities OF solid
citizens with financial reserve, =
financial stake in the American
system, and a newly-formed habit
of regular saving.
As result of this good judg-
ment, we have been able to hold
off a disastrous initiation, finance
good part Of the costs Of war,
and save the incredible sum Of 100
billion dollars.
And as q result Of THESE ae-
complishments, we, as q nation,
stand ready now to win our final
battle in the fight to throw off
the effects of war and get this
country back, rs fast as we can,
on = solid, prosperous, peacetime
economic basis.
TO WIN THIS FINAL BAT
TIE, WE NEED ONLY KEEP
ON DOING, FOR A LITTLE
LONGER, THE SAME THINGS
WE DID so WELL DURING 31k
YEARS OF WAR. WE NEED TO
KEEP ON SAVING UNTIL RE-
CONVERSION is COMPLETE.
The next few months will tell
the story. And if, during this crit
ical period, we will only use the
brains, the will power, the energy,
the enterprise, the materials and
resources with which we won oul
war, we can't fail to win the peace
and make this the richest, hap
piest land the world has known.
Making the Victory Loan
smashing success will be a clear
notice of our intentions.

OO0, ,O0O, 900 yearly" Mr.. Smith
said and, he added. "tax refunds
will remain high until about q
year after the Pacific war and
will decline drasticaly there
after"
Mr.. Smith warned that "a drop
of $39, ,000, ,000, 600 in revenue this
year is in prospect" Corporations
will pay about "s3, ,10o, ,O0e, 900 less
in direct taxes and individuals
due in part to the loss of war
wages-about 3,20O. .0O0, 900 less"
he added. This is a loss Of $780,
000, 900 in these two departments
alone, Mr.. Smiths figures show.
It is about half Of the quota Of
the Victory Loan. The total reve-
nue. loss is almost three times that
of the mighty 7th quota.
Thus it was agreed here, the
Victory Loan is as vital q need as
were any Of its predecessors.

Partners in Peace

"Eighty-five million Americans
have, through war bonds, pur-
chased partnership in Government.
That is a proud record. And by
holding on to their bonds, they
continue to share in their Gov
ernment. sasa
"The Victory Loan is our final
great effort. It is our first peace
time salute to those who made
peace a fact. America sent its
loved ones to war. America sent
its goods to war. America sent
its dollars to war.
"Our loved ones and our goods
have reached their detectives.
ssThe war job Of our dollars is
not done. Let's finish that job
with the Victory Loan,
"By purchasing Victory bonds
and by holding onto the bonds you
already own, you participate con-
structively in a peaceful and pros
porous America"

|0ne-Fourfh Of Officers
In Regular Army Face
Retirement in 7 Years
By ROBERT BRUsKIN.

| A fourth of the Regular Army
officers, most of whom now hold
wartime ranks Of colonel or gen.
eral. will become eligible for retire.
ment within two years, a War De-
partment source said yesterday.
OF the 1852 regular officers, ap-
proximately $500 have completed
~ years service. Most hold COM
missions dating from 1917 and 1918.
The amended Retirement Act of
June 13, 1910. permits officers with
World War service to retire after
80 years with pension Of rs per
cent of their base pay.
Many Intend to Retire.
An Army official said a large
proportion Of these officers have sig
nified their intention of retiring as
soon as permitted by the act. How
ever, they will be under no compul-
sion to retire until they reach the
age OF "a If they are major generals,
81 for brigadier generals and go for
colonels or those of lesser ranks.
In an effort to provide greater
promotion opportunities for younger
officers who now face drastic re-
ductions from wartime to permanent
ranks, the War Department is re-
ported studying plans which will
make retirement more attractive to
those officers.
One plan, an Official said, recon-
mends retirement eligibility for Of
f1cers who have completed % years
of service. Their pension would be
raised to 80 per cent Of their base
pay.
To Relieve "Hump."
While many high-ranking officers
who entered the Regular Army be-
fore 1917 become eligible, future ac-
ton is expected to be designed pri-
marily to relieve the hump" in pro-
motions caused by the mass appoint
ment of lieutenants after the last
war. Since advancement is based
largely on seniority, promotions of
officers who were commissioned later
were blocked. Between the two wars
many officers served as first lieu
tenants for is years or more.
To avoid another hump" It is
expected the War Department will
offer commissions in the Regular
Army to World War II officers If
is authorized, in all grades
up to lieutenant colonel. At least
10000 applications have been filed,
