Questions and AnsUers
@. What benefits does the dis
abled veteran receive under public
law 16, the vocational rehabilitation
program, that are not available to
him under the GIL. bill of rights?-
F. @. NJ, Grand Rapids, Mich.
A. The disabled veteran receives
several additional benefits under
the vocational rehabilitation act
(public law l6). During his voca-
tional rehabilitation, and for two
months after his employability has
been established, he receives at
least SOS a month If he has no de-
pendents, or Sis a month if he has
dependent, plus $40 for one child,
81 for each additional child and SIS
for a dependent parent. However,
he may receive more than these
guaranteed minimums if his dis
ability compensation, pension or re-
tirement pay, plus the standard al
lowance of $65 or $50 month, is
higher than the amount guaranteed.
@. My brother, who is married
and has one small child, is a totally
disabled war veteran. He is receiv-
ing government compensation now,
but we would like to know whether
he would be entitled to receive an
increased compensation because Of
his dependents.-G.T T. o., Portland,
Ore.
A. No, he may not. No additional
compensation or pension is payable
to a veteran because he has de-
pendents. Compensation or pension
is based on a degree of disability
and not the number of dependents.
@. Is it true that the government
will aid the veteran in paying his
interest on GIL. business loan for
the first year?-R. P. NJ, Hastings,
MINI.
A. Yes. Veterans administration
will pay the lender, for credit to the
veterans loan, an amount equal to
per cent of the guaranteed portion
of the loan. For example, if the
guaranteed portion is $4,000, the
lender will receive $12O from VA to
be applied on the veterans debt.
@. I am a World War II veteran.
As such, am 1 entitled to treatment
under Veterans administration out
patient department plan? B.,
San Antonio, Tex.
A. You are entitled to treatment
as an out-patient only if you have
a service-incurred or service-con-
nected injury or disability, or if you
Ill
ment and are on leave from a VA
hospital and ordered to report to an
out-patient clinic for periodic treat
ment or examination.
@. have been out of the army
now about year and six months.
I have used up some of my $40 a
week compensation and what I
would like to know is, is it too late
to apply for on-the-job training SO
that I may learn a trade.-J. A. L..
Madison, Wis.
A. No, it is not too late since the
law provides that you have four
years from the day of your dis
charge to apply for such training.
@. When was discharged from
the army I retained my National
Service Life insurance. When will l
receive a regular insurance policy
to replace the certificate now
have?-G. T. H., Jefferson City, Mo.
A. Insurance policy forms are be-
ing drafted to include changes
made necessary by recent insur-
ance Legislation designed to make
National Service Life insurance fit
peacetime needs of veterans. They
will be distributed when VA branch
offices are able to handle the work
without interference to their 'pri-
mary objective.

More Protests Heard
On Beer License for
|Center Street Store

Several more protests against
granting a license to sell beer and
light wines to Mrs. Sadie d. Gliber
who conducts a grocery at 3506
Center street NV were heard to-
day by the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board.
The hearing, continued from AL
gust IA, was called to hear the ap-
plicant's side of the question, but
the further protests by church
groups and property owners in the
area delayed for nearly two hours
the scheduled appearance of Mrs.
Gliber.
Mrs. Gnber told the board she
planned to carry the beverages
merely for the convenience of her
customers and would not make beer
and wine the major part OF her
business.
Samuel B. Block. Mrs. Gliber's
attorney, presented petition
signed by approximately $50 Of the
applicants customers asking that
she stock beer and light wines for
off-premise consumption.
Two witnesses for the applicant,
Mrs. Alice Cabell, 1918 Meridian
place NV, and Mrs. Rose Bean,
1924 Center street NV. testified
they did not think issuance of such
a license would harm the moral
character of the neighborhood nor
lower property values.
Additional petitions protesting
issuance of the license were pre-
scented to the board by E. Edward
Stephens, attorney for the Fourth
Church of Christ, Scientist, 3505
Sixteenth street NV, the organiza-
ton which has spearheaded the
drive against granting Of the license.
Objections also were registered
by the Rev. r. P. Currie, assistant
pastor Of st. Stephens and the In
carnation Episcopal Church and
representatives of the Gunton-
Temple Presbyterian Church.
Alan Payne board chairman, said
1t would be "at least two days" be-
fore a decision would be reached on
the license.

About an hour later, police said, a

from an unidentified source saying
that Hawkins had been ordered by
residents of the 1900 block of Tenth

and that he had refused.
Threat to Use Pistol Reported
Police said this informant quoted
Hawkins as saying, II have a As
pistol and I'm going to kill the first
that comes along, If you
call the cops"
On that information, Precinct
Detectives Paul Hutsler and Sum-
merfield Tillett and Pvt. George
Prather went to the Tenth street
address. AS they reached the house,
according to Detective Tillett, Eaw-
kinS stuck his head out of the win

and ducked back into the house.
Detective Tillett said the police
men went inside and up to a sec

Hawkins had a .38-caliber Spanish
revolver and a .32-caliber Spanish
automatic to a woman who was
later identified as Mrs. Annie Rob-

had bullets in his pocket, according

rested at the same time on deadly

Two charges Of carrying a deadly
weapon were placed against Hawk
ms and he was held for court action
under 81 900 bond.
