Aid For Vets
Now Under


Aid for the $4,000 Michigan
men who are veterans of World
War II and the $4,000 state men
who were killed in action will be
drafted this week by the state
veterans council, now in session
with Governor Kelly.
The council will recommend to
the legislature on uses of a S51, 0O0,-
600 reserve fund and the proposals
will be written into law.
The governor pointed out that
the fund set aside by the legisla-
ture was insufficient to pay each
serviceman more than SIS, and be-
cause of this bonus will probably
not be paid.
Il feel it is best that the fund
be used for insuring against sick
ness. need, disqualification, and our
supplementing the federal allotments
for educational aid" the governor
said. "As of August 81, Michigan
sent 625.0O0 men into service. Of
those. 12,875 suffered death while
in uniform since the beginning of
the war and 1920 are missing in
action. More than $500 Michigan
women were left widowed and 3,743
children lost their fathers in the
war"
The state will not duplicate aid
for veterans which is provided by
the federal government, but he In
sisted the state must provide if fed
eral facilities do not offer adequate
disqualification and fare for the
mentally afflicted and those suffer-
ing from tuberculosis or recurrent
tropical disease.
Speaking before the Michigan
Association of Circuit Judges at
Lansing yesterday he said he would
insist that the Office of Veterans
Affairs make each serviceman's
complete war record available to
the individual and also keep it on
lille for future use. He also said
that the names of men and women
