Veterans Cautioned
To Take Their Time in
Applying for Loans

Veterans were urged today to take
their time in applying for loan
guarantees under the GI Bill of
Rights in order to get "full value
of their money"
This advice came from Francis
x. Pavesich, director OF the loan
guarantee service of the Veterans
Administration, who pointed out
that the amended GI bill gives vet
Grams up to 10 years after the end
of the war to apply for loans.
Veterans should not be in a
hurry to take advantage of these
loan guarantees" he said "They
have plenty of time in which to
make application: If they hold of
until they get full value of their
money, there will be far less debt
confronting them and inflationary
tendencies will be stemmed."
GAG Loans Made Here.
Washington area veterans of
World War II, according to Morgan
B. Callahan, regional Veterans Ad-
miniStration loan guarantee officer,
have made 646 loans totaling more
than $500, 900 for homes and small
businesses.
Only two of those who have bor-
rowed money here under the CT bill
have defaulted, Mr.. Callahan said.
An ex-Army mechanic borrowed
81 ,890-half of it guaranteed by the
Veterans Administration-to start
a dump truck business. Cost Of
repairs to his vehicle plus shortages
cut down his earning capacity and
he was unable to meet his payments,
Mr.. Callahan said.
The other ex-serviceman who de-
faulted, Mr.. Callahan reported, had
borrowed 81 500 to buy a car for use
as salesman. The veteran was
discharged by his employer and the
car was repossessed.
Of the 676 applications by Wash
lington area veterans for home loans,
564 were approved, "a were rejected
and 48 were withdrawn by the ap-
plicants, Mr.. Callahan said. Eighty
nine veterans applied for guaran-
teed loans for small business, of
which so were approved, 3 were re-
jected and were withdrawn.
New Regulations Speeded.
Mr.. Pavesich predicted that al
though the Veterans Administration
was given 80 days to change over
from the old to the new loan pro-
cedures under the amended GI
bill, the new regulations probably
will be operating In considerably
less" than 80 days. A number Of
forms either are being greatly sim
plified or eliminated entirely. he
said
In addition to extending the time
in which a veteran may apply for
loan under the GI bill, Mr.. Pave
SIGH pointed out, the amended law
makes these other changes:
!. Loans made by approved lend
ing agencies are guaranteed auto
matically. provided the loan meets
the provisions of the CT bill and
is approved by an appraised desig-
mated by the Veterans Admmistra-
tion.
2. Restrictions Of certain Federal
laws are lifted to increase the num-
ber of eligible lending agencies and
to make the loans more attractive
to lenders.
3. A maximum guarantee of $4,000
instead Of $4,000 is provided or
home and farm loans, and the time
of repayment on real estate loans
is extended to Is years and on farm
realty loans to 40 YearS

HAL WALLIS PRODUCTION
EXCITING SCREEN DRAMA

that is haunting and appealing
one that will remain with you for
days? If you are, don't miss the
latest Hal Wallis production, Love
Letters" which opens at the Koo-
tenai Theatre Sunday and Monday
April IA and IS
The damatic story of Love Let
tiers is so unusual you'll want to
discuss it with everyone you meet.
You'll talk about the strange rom
ance of a girl who dared not re-
member her past, of a man who
wrote love letters to a girl he never
met, not realizing they would mean
haunting terror to him, disaster to
her, and violent death to the man
who used them to win her heart.
The screen play for Love Let
tiers, was written by Ayn Rand,
author of "The Fountainhead.
Beautiful Jennifer Jones, topping
her brilliant Academy Award win
ming performance in THE Song of
Bernadette, " is the girl in Love
Letters" And Joseph Gotten, who /
himself as one of Hol-
lywood's finest actors through his
excellent work in Citizen Kane"

Went Away" is the man. He gives
another grand performance.

able house man of "Frenchman's

.es are contributed by Gladys Coop
