Bradley Orders VA.
ToRenew GIInsurance
Without Examination

Concern over large numbers Of
veterans who are allowing their
National Service Life Insurance poll
cies to lapse has caused Veterans
Administrator Bradley to order that
they may reinstate the policies
without physical examination.
In the move to boost Government
insurance, which lost four and a
half million policies between August
and February, Gen. Bradley said
veterans need only to state that
their health is as good as it was
when their policies lapsed in order
to renew the insurance.
Veterans who had not converted
policies to permanent form must pay
only two monthly premiums for re-
instatement, regardless of When It
lapsed, Gen. Bradley said. In the
case OF converted policies, all pa
ments that have been missed NIT
be repaid with interest.
Administrator Cites Decrease.
Harold w. Breining, assistant ed
mlnlstrator for insurance, reported
that more than 95 per cent of men
and women in service had taken. out
policies. From sl44 900 900 900 worth
OF insurance held last September, he
said, the total had dropped at the
beginning of last month by about
S74, 500, 100000.
Mr.. Breining estimated that 20
per cent of the first discharges from
service were retaining their policies,
and said that now two out of every
three men discharged are dropping
their insurance. Among the rea-
sons for the large number of lapses,
ne cited the small-payment, long
term benefit plan for beneficiaries,
instead of lump-sum payment.
Legislation now pending in Con-
gress would provide for lump-sum
payment as well as provide a wider
range of benefciaries to put the
Government insurance on a level
with other insurance and make it
much more attractive to veterans. he
pointed out.
Aid to Disab led Veterans.
Mr.. Breining said the new plan
waving examinations is of particular
benefit to veterans with disabilities,
providing their health has not grown
worse during the period of lapse,
who might not be able to qualify for
other assurances.
Permanent regulations governing
reinstatement require a physical
examination if the date of REIN
statement is more than six months
after the veterans separation from
service or more than three months
from the date of lapse The liberal
lzatlon will remain in effect until
January /, l947, applying also to
policies which lapse between now
/ and that date.
Another recent regulation pro-
vides that veterans who are totally
disabled for a period of at least
six consecutive months may apply
for waiver of premiums on their
insurance. Although premium pay
ments must be maintained pending
approval, they will be refunded for
the time they were paid during
disability if the waiver is approved,

Jail Break

over any secret evidence it may have
uncovered.
Mr.. Heoert indicated the subcom-
mittee will make the inquiry broad
enough to place responsibility not
only for the actual Jail break, but
for any lax administrative practices
which may have made it possible.
The current clash between the
Commissioners and the Board of
Public Welfare will be aired at the
hearings and an effort made to fix
any blame that may be laid to any
board or individual.
"All officials who are concerned
in this matter" Mr.. Hebert said,
will be heard. The committee then
will assess the situation from the
evidence. Meanwhile, we are ap-
preaching the inquiry with open
minds, ready to give a careful hear
ing to all"
The Louisiana Representative said
the subcommittee would want par
tlcularly to know:
why is it so easy to get out of
Jail? Who makes it easy?
In addition to certain executive,
advisory and police officials, the
subcommittee will hear any one else
who may have any information BEAR
ing on the situation
Deal with Facts,
THE inquiry will deal in facts,
not personalities" Mr.. Hebert en-
phaSized. 1T will be conducted in
an orderly way and no personal
reflections will be allowed. The tes-
timony will be confined to matters
that bear directly on the investiga-
ton"
The Witnesses will include Howard
B. Gill, suspended superintendent
of District penal institutions.
Mr.. Hebert made it clear, how
ever, that the subcommittee did
not intend ito try Mr.. Gill" It
does want to hear what he has to
say about conditions in District
prisons and their administration.
The first witness will be Corpo-
ration Counsel Vernon E. West. He
will be asked to explain the legal
responsibilities given various divi-
sions of the municipal government.
The three Commissioners then
will be called, with Commissioner
John Russell Young, president OF
the board, heard first.
Next the subcommittee will turn
to the Welfare Board, first question
ing Edgar Morris, chairman, and
then other members. Maj. Harvey
G. Callahan, superintendent of po-
lice, and other officials of the Metro
politan police department probably
will be called early in the inquiry
Jail officials and guards will testify
Seeks Speedy Inquiry.
Mr.. Hebert expressed hope that
the hearings could be completed in
week, though he pointed out that
he could give no assurance of this,
Long morning and afternoon ses-
sions are to be held in an effort to
speed up the inquiry.
While suggestions have been
made that the hearings be held in
the House caucus room to accom-
modate the large number of specta-
tors expected, the chairman vetoed
this. He said this was serious
effort to ascertain facts and rec
ommend improvements and not a
show and the hearings would be
held in the small District commit
tee room.
Other members of the subcom-
mittee are Representatives Harris
of Arkansas and Combs of Texas
Democrats, and Simpson of Illinois
and O'Hara of Minnesota, Repub-
licans.
At least two members, Mr.. Harris
and Mr.. O'Hara, are former prose

establishing minimum wage
of $4,000.

bill before the Senate to provide for
the retirement of District public
school teachers under a system SINH
lar to that of the Federal EMPLOYEES
Retirement Act.

hxed at minimum fine of S100 or
years imprisonment, or both, was
drafted for forwarding to the Com

House District Committees.
This proposed revision of the
District Code to crack down on
false alarm bugs" followed a re.
port by the Police and Fire Protec.

tober through January-l9 per cent
were false.
The current false alarm penalty
