From Mrs. G.. c. D., Evansville.
Ind: my daughters husband was
killed in the war, and she has been
receiving insurance and a widows
pension. Will she continue to get
these benefits if she remarries?"
The assurances, yes. But the pen
sion will stop.
From j. O., Saginaw, Mich: II
understand that when I convert my
term insurance to a permanent
form it will have a cash value. How
much value will it have and what
does that mean?"
You're right, a converted policy
will have cash value after it's
been in force one year, but I can't
tell you how much without knowing
what kind Of permanent form you
want to convert to, how much in
surance you have, how old you were
VIXEN you converted. II you con-
verified at age Is and have $4,000
of insurance Ordinary life), it would
have cash value of 5000 at the
end of the first policy year. You
could borrow 81 per cent Of this
money any time you want. Same
thing holds true for any converted
policy-you can borrow UP to "a per
cent of the cash value at any time
after the end of the first policy year.
The more premiums you pay the
higher Becomes the cash value.
From W. P, Washington: I'm
going to full-time school under the
CT bill. How much can I work on
the side without affecting my SUBJ
sistence alowance?"
You can work as much as you
want on the side, just so long as the
outfit for which you work does not
consider you a full-time employee.
Anything short of full time is okay.
II you're hazy about some right
or benefit you think is coming to
you, send your query to me at
The Sunday Star. Inclose self
addressed, stamped envelope for
personal reply.

Veterans Guide
By Maj. Thomos M. Mol

That's because, if you're injured
or disabled in any way providing
it S not due to your own wilful mis-
conduct while in training under
public law 16, that injury or dis
ability will be considered just as
though it were a service-connected
disability, incurred while In the
service. You are entitled to an ad-
ditional pension for it, just as
though you had received it while in
the service.
So you have two big reasons why
public law 16 is good thing to get
into if you're disabled and getting a
pension. You get free medical care
for all disabilities. And If you're
hurt in any way the injury is con-
sidered as a service-connected dis
ability for which pension may be
payable.
Questions Answered.
From G. C. j., Scranton, Pa: I
was in the Army seven months. Do
you know how many weeks I'll be
eligible to draw the readjustment
allowance"
Forty weeks. figured this way:
Eight weeks of the allowance for
each Of the first three months you
served, and four weeks for each
other month you 1ere in uniform.
For you, that's 40 weeks. Top limit
for any veteran Is So.
From c. H. c., Hattiesburg, Miss. !:
Does the time spent in Viz count
toward college training under the
CT bill?"
Can't answer that one without
more dope on what you took,
whether you completed your course
and a few other things. Chances
are, though, you will not be able to
credit time spent in Viz toward
free education under the CT bill.

Why Kid Ourselves?

It almost childish for price control agencies to
 y to regulate the economy of the nation hand while government goes borrowing and printing and spending and giving away money it fit. Hod-thelne orders for pound of butter pair of stockings, automobile may temporarily get public acclaim But it isn't long be- fore the public finds it can't get butter stockings auomo piles when Ouofne prices block production And it makes difference whether the articles ratOned sold in Free market.
 What regulators of human activities should concen-
 ate is encouraging production and admitting that the abnormal costs of have caused imitation which be controlled if the costs of can be controlled and the people will work hard and produce Our regua tors of human activity must allow sufficient return to the producer and to the eaner based present n Nation due to the national deb that both producers and workers will do their best to turn out goods thus removing khe scarcites which aggraVate naon thereby driv lng prices higher and higher.
 The country still lick imitation if the people will go 70 work and if government will rather than dis courage business. We will have to make up minds Owever-we will either have definitely express ourselves n favor of retaining private enterprise and profit sys sen or we will have to accept government dctaton and sailing standard of living substitute for free economy negded price controls which ignore government debt and pendng and cost of production while trying to restrict the individua drive closer to Socialism As a people, have
 the courage to return to the risks and rewards of private Enterprise seeking to dodge responsibility for astny will we go farther toward the dole system and reg anAntation?

THE LITTLE MAN

CNew Haven Journal-Courier)
 Abroad, and even in this country. large corporations are accepted as typical Of American business. Yet, as Professor George w. Starr, direc- tor of Indiana University's bureau of business research, points out, nearly one-third of the manufactur- ing in the United States is done in plants employing fewer than 100 persons. More than 70 percent of the wholesale and retail business and two-thirdS of the service bus mess of the nation is done by what the Department of Commerce classifies as small business.
 The man in the street may think of American business men in terms of tycoons, but the fact is that the corner grocer, the filling station op- orator, the little machine shop owner are the base and the fabric Of this country's economic system. They may not get the headlines, but they do the work.
 A wise government would en- courage and stimulate little bus mess. Excessive concentration is not healthy. It is a step toward the corporate state, whether operated by private interests or public ofti- cials--a state of collectivism, Fas- cism or special privilege-all equally abhorrent to the American tradi- tion. It is a state where wealth &C., cumulates the men decay.
 For that reason, Professor Stars warning against present initiative stifling taxation and the price ab- sorption policies of the OPA is espe- cially timely. These put the squeeze on little business, which most needs help and encouragement
 New business can not be estab- lished in an economic climate Of this kind" Professor Starr says. Big business may hold their position, but in the American system big bus mess exists largely as an incentive and goal for little business. The gain in the nations wealth, which benefits all by adding to the re- wards of living, is dependent on new business-the new businesses of EdiSons of this generation, working far into the night in their kitchens, their garages or their workshops to develop an idea. That idea may make America richer.

Macarthur, with on elephants memory and having never forgotten Rohs criticism Of e Generals Bonus Army eviction, crossed Bob Aliens name from the list of Kruegers staff officers.
 Barred by Macarthur from the Pacific, Bob was left discouraged but not down, in the swamps of Louisiana.
 Tn the end however, he was lucky. The plane on which he was supposed to make the trip crashed His replacement officer was killed.
 few months later the long-panned D-Day offensive opened in Normandy, and Bob Allen was sent to head General pattonS Intelligence Unit. Some people got the Idea Bob handled Pattons press relations which was wrong. There were times when Patton could have used good press relations off. cer but Bob was not it He was in charge of combat intelligence and right in the thick of things.
 That was how he happened to be riding in a jeep seeking information behind enemy lines near ohrdruf, Germany on April q, just month before the end of the war. Ambushed by German patrol hidden in a shed, Bob was hit his right arm smashed.
 Rolling into a ditch, he continued fighting. Finally those men in his small detachment not killed were hopelessly surrounded He just had time to rip off his General Staff insignia and chew up his Third Army mess card before he was taken prisoner.
 Despite severe wounds Bob took careful note of the road signs and the German countryside while en route to Nazi headquarters, later making detailed report to General Patton.
 Arriving at German hospital, Bob was put in the of an Austrian doctor, who turned out to be an anti. azi, and who ordered Bobs arm ann
 
 were no bandages or antiseptics. The wound bound in paper.
 Two days later, Naz lieutenant-colonel arrived to croSs-question the prisoner However, he didn't realize what he had walked into.
 It had been long time since Bob had learned German as a young newsman in Munich It had been a long time since he had heckled Secretaries of State and shot embarrassing questions at Sen- ators But he shot back at the Naz lieutenant colonel's abusive questions with all he had
 "Silencel" he shouted. "You only leuten- ant colonel am full colonel. You will respect the rank of your superiors"
 Perhaps the German officer had never before met anyone like this. Perhaps he too carefully indoctrinated with German Army discipline Any way. he obeyed He even bought Bob bottle of cognac.
 From that time on, Col Robert S. Allen, U. s. Army, virtually commanded the hospital Pattons army getting nearer, the Nazis were getting more jittery. So Colonel Allen ordered all arms and ammu milton stacked and locked in the hospital basement He even commanded German troops to stop giving the Nazi salute-and he got away with it.
 Two days later, Pattons forces reached the hos pital Bob's arm, by this time, was badly infected but he still funconing perfectly, still master of all he surveyed. And Bob Allen matter where he is matter what he does. will always be that way.
