VA Campaigns Vetearns To ReinState Insurance

Veterans Service organizations throughout Alaska are urged this week to join with the Veterans Administration regional office at Juneau in an all out campaign to get veterans to reinstate the life insurance they carried in the armed forces.
 The campaign is headed by Der nard Estabrook, recently named insurance officer for the VA in the Territory and all possible sources of information will be used to bring the high value and low cost desirability of National Service Life Insurance to veter- ans.
 Level term life insurance may be had in any multiple of $500 from $1,000 to the maximum of Sl0,000, Estabrook pointed out, at monthly premium costs ranging ranging from 85 cents per 5000 and up. Estimating the average veterans age at this time at 27 the cost at this level is 69 cents per S1,00 a month, he said.
 The veteran may, until February 1, 1947, re-instate this insurance in most instances without a physi- cal examination simply by paying two monthly premiums and sign ing a comparative health state ment. Application forms are avail able at any of the VA offices in Alaska located at Fairbanks, An chorage, Ketchikan and Juneau by writing to the regional office at Juneau.

VA Suspends Some Subsistence Payments

WASHINGTON, (R)-The Vet erans Administration reported to- day it has suspended subsistence payments to approximately 150,- 900 exc. Is for failure to report earnings in school or job training.
 The payments, made under the CT Bill of Rights, amount to $65 monthly for unmarried veterans in school or on job training and to S90 monthly for married men. More than 100000 veterans draw the allotments.
 Tuition payments, made directly to schools, are not affected.
 Under legislation passed last summer, veterans payments and earnings are limited to total of Sl75 monthly for those without dependents and to $200 monthly for those with dependents. In the event those figures are exceeded, the subsistence allowances must be reduced accordingly.
 The Veterans Administration warned on Nov. 1 that the subsis- tence allowances would be halted unless reports of earnings were re- ceived Dec. 5. Suspensions are to remain in effect until the informa- ton has been received.
