Germans occupied all France after

said he tried TO persuade his old

join Gen. de Gaulle because there
was nothing more he could do for

He said Petain responded:

He said Petain told him he ac-

Senate Bill Raises
Veterans Pensions;
House Approval Seen
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Indications are that the House,
when it returns from vacation in
October will accept Senate sub
stitute for House-approved bill in
creasing pensions for veterans with
certain permanent disabilities.
The Senate passed the legislation
late yesterday. It's bill carries high.
er rates than the House provided.
Ranking members of the House
Veterans Committee pointed out at
the time the measure came up in
the House that the rates in the bill
they had reported were not as high
as they wanted, but had been cleared
by the Budget Bureau and they felt
it was better to get these increases
through before vacation.
Bill Equalizes Rates.
The Budget Bureau Is reported
since to have approved the sched-
ule contained in a substitute bill
sponsored by Senators johnson,
Democrat, of Colorado, and Capper.
Republican, of Kansas. The rates
in this bill we're recommended by
the Veterans Administration.
In asking unanimous consent for
passage of the bill, shortly before
the Senate adjourned last night.
Ma ajority Leader Barkley said the
desire of the subcommittee on vet
erans' legislation headed by Sena-
tor johnson had been to equaliZe
pensions for which veterans of this
war and the World War were
eligible In some instances. World
War veterans had been receiving
higher pensions for like injuries
than men in the present war could
get
! Although there necessarily will be
a two-month delay before the legis-
lation can become law, Senator
johnson wanted to get his bill
through before the vacation, be-
cause, he explained. it would help
the morale of disabled veterans to
learn that higher pensions are in
store for them Many of these vet
Grams have been facing an uncertain
future without sufficient income to
live on, he felt.
Increases Listed.
/ The Senate bill raises the monthly
/ pension for veteran who has lost
both hands or both feet or one hand
and one foot or is almost totally
blind from $3.50 to 5000.
If the veteran has lost two ex-
tremitles in such way that he is
unable to use artificial arms or legs
or is so blinded as to be helpless.
his pension is increased from SITS
to s235. Amputations with certain
complications or complete removal
of both eyes would entitle the serv-
iceman to s265 instead of 5000
Disabilities under conditions
which would entitle the veteran to
two or more of the rates provided
in each section would entitle him
to $500. This is proposed as a
new provision of the law.
