What Congress
Did For Veterans
In Recent Session

A flood of legislation affecting
veterans was passed by Congress
during it's last session. In case you
missed some reports in the newspa-
pers, here is a brief review of what
the Congress did:
1. Increased pension and COM
pensation payments by 20 percent.
2. Eliminated the reduction of
pension when a veteran is in Vet
Grams Administration hospital or
home.
3. Voted free automobiles for vet
Grams who have lost the use of one
or both legs.
4. Authorized the VA to operate
a canteen service in its hospitals to
replace privately-owned concessions.
5. Placed tighter controls on the
training program and
set an income ceiling for veterans
enrolled in training under the Ser
vicemen's Readjustment Act. Sub
sistence pay plus salary cannot ex-
ceed SITS for single veterans and
5000 for those with dependents.
6. Liberalized the National Ser
vice Life Insurance Act to permit
lump sum payments, endowment
policies, disability income benefits
and unlimited choice of beneficiar

Drafting OF
1926 Age Group
Starting Sept. |

After a two months lull, the Santa
Cruz County and other selective
service boards will resume drafting
in September.
Reception center lines will begin
to form next week and by the end
of September SeIective Service is
reasonably confident it will meet
the army's quota of $4,000 men in
the 1925 age group.
In June, while the whole future
of the draft was up in the air, only
6,40O men were inducted There
were no teen-agers among them
Congress finally compromised on
that issue by exempting 18-year-
olds but specifying those 19 were to
be drafted.
During the July-August holiday
when the war departments asked no
inductions, local boards have been
registering and classifying men be-
tween 18 and "A under instructions
from Mai. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
national director, to limit defer
ments to individuals in activities
indispensable" to the national ex-
! iStence.
Four new categories have just
been added to the list of those en-
titled to most serious considera-
ton" for occupational deferments
They are college and university
teachers, home construction work.
ers, critical production and trans
portation workers.
Previously local boards were au-
thorized to consider deferments only
! for students in medicine, dentistry,
veterinary medicine and osteopathy
and for certain teachers and re-
search workers in physical sciences
and engineering.
Fathers, certain categories of vet
Grams and essential agricultural
workers are deferred by law. Eigh-
teen-year- must register but are
not subject to induction until they
reach 19.
For the present at least, the army
says it wants no one over 80.

no further appearance by Leary in
