Full Committee Backs
Cashing Of Terminal
Leave Bonds in Fall
BY George Beveridqe

The House Armed Services Com
mittee today unanimously approved
legislation to let about 100000 for
mer enlisted men begin cashing
nearly $4,000, 100000 worth of ter
minal leave pay bonds after Sep
tember /.
The bill is expected to get fast
action from the House. 1t affects
more veterans than any other single
piece of legislation to come before
the Eightieth Congress.
Republican leaders, reluctant so
far this year to increase present
benefits for veterans, have publicly
supported proposals for cashing the
furlough pay bonds.
Removes Discrimination.
Representative Blackney, Repub-
lican, of Michigan told the COM
mittee today the bill removes an
obvious discrimination between for
mer officers and enlisted men," Of
f1cers are paid in cash for any un-
used leave time when they leave
the service.
Mr.. Blackney said cashing the
bonds could save the Government
up to $62,000,000 year, which it
otherwise would have to pay in in
terest on the bonds.
Furthermore, it will lower the
public debt and be good for busi-
ness" Mr.. Blackney declared.
Application Time Extended.
The legislation also extends for
one year to September l, 1948, the
time in which former enlisted men
can apply for compensation for
unused furlough time.
Committee members estimated the
Federal Government will have to
pay 80 cents in administrative costs
for each bond cashed.
As the legislation now stands,
veterans would have the option of
cashing the bonds or keeping them
for five-year period to collect in
terest at a fiat rate of 2h per cent.
S,500,000 Receive Bonds.
Under the bill, veterans who have
not applied for the benefit, may re-
quest payment either by bond or
cash if the measure is enacted.
Those who have already filed, but
not received payment, would get
bonds.
So far, about 8,50O,000 former en-
listed men have received the bonds.
Up to 100000 more are eligible.
according to Treasury Department
officials, and about 100000 applica-
tions are still awaiting action.
Average face value of the bonds is
$214, the Treasury estimated.
Senate hearings on the issue are
due to begin July 9, with hearings
before an Armed Forces Subcom-
mittee headed by Senator Baldwin,
Republican, of Connecticut.

population of that thriving little
metropolis to the impressive total
of 107.
His parents, John and Mary Da-
Wis Summerlin, were in comfortable
circumstances. They sent him to
the agricultural and mechanical col
lege at Louisiana State University
1t was his first and last associa-
ton with agriculture and mechanics
He was able, after graduation, to
satisfy q boyhood ambition of OBJ
tanning an appointment to the Mill
tary Academy at West Point, whence
he emerged in 1896, commissioned
as a second lieutenant in the 9th
Cavalry.
Acquires Precise Habits.
He already had assumed the pre-
else habits and the ramrod carriage
which were to remain with him
through life. When, over 10, he
passed down the State Department
corridors on the way to his office,
beholders frequently turned to stare
after the proud, bald-headed figure
IS feet inches of it-marching
as though following an invisible
ruled line on the floor
Serving with succession of cav
airy regiments, Mr.. Summerlin saw
duty in Puerto Rico during the
Spanish-American War and later
was sent to the Philippines. He
was a captain when he retired from
the Army in 1903. He acquired, in
this period, one habit and one taste
both of which lasted until death.
The. habit, his personal TRADEMARKS
in Washington and many another
world capital, was that of rolling
his own cigarettes. Chatting casu-
ally with a President or princess
MIR. Summerlin invariably surprised
onlookers by taking out his package
of. tobacco, deity fashioning a Gig
arctic, licking it and lighting up
The surprise never worried Mr.
Summerlin. But he refrained from
offering his cigarettes to anybody
because he could never decide
whether the polite procedure was tc
lick them himself or to hold them
up for the prospective recipient tc
lick.
Liked to Travel.
The taste he developed, in those
Army days, was for travel. He
reached the conclusion it could best
be INDUCED in diplomatic career
He started as a State Department
clerk in 1909 and ended up as q
minister, having served over much
of the globe.
When "a years old, within few
months of compulsory retirement
Mr.. Summerlin was recalled tc
washington from Panama by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who had seen him
several times while cruising in Pan
anna waters. The President called
Mr.. Summerlin George" in an in
terview which resulted in his ap-
poirtment as chief of the State
Departments division of protocol
Like almost everybody else with
whom Mr.. Summerlin was associ-
ated, Mr.. Roosevelt later took tc
calling him "Sunmie."
In the last analysis, Mr.. Summer
lin sysed to point out, the protocol
side of diplomacy is nothing but
old-fashioned hospitality with 6
formal twist.
For this Mr.. Summerlin was vel
suited, because he was both a hos
pitable man and formal one
Possessed of a highly developed

He belonged to India House in New
York.
He was a man with few close
friends, but with innumerable
friendly acquaintances. Many of
these thought of the perennial gay
young blade" as bachelor. Actual
ly, he was married just before the
turn of the century to Miss Henri
eta Virginia Vandergrift Loomis of
Washington. They were divorced in
1915. Two sons, both dead, were
George Thomas, jr., and John Van
dergrift.
Three grandchildren survive: Miss
Virginia Summerlin of Washing

Miss Harriott Page Summerlin
and John Vandergrift Summerlin,
children of John, both of Glou-
ceSter County, Va.

Farm Questions

@. Are strawberry plants rooted at
a considerable distance from the
mother plant different from those
rooted near the original plant?
A. According to E. B. Marrow, re-
search associate professor of Horti-
culture at State College, usually the
only difference between the plants
at a considerable distance from the
mother plant and those nearby is
that the ones nearer the mother
plant are usually older and, therefore,
larger. The yield of fruit is decided
ly affected by the size Of the plant
at the end Of growing season. For
example, runner plants rooted in
June are usually at least twice the
size OF runner plants rooted in Sep
TENDER. This means that the June
rooted plants will produce from so to
100 per cent more berries next spring
than will the September runners
The primary difference, therefore,
between plants nearer the mother

THE
FARM
With
THE CITY COUSIN

With nearly everyone suffering
from a mild case of cost living
nerves." it is encouraging to see sc
many people coming to the defense
of the farmer.
L. c. Laney, assistant Mecklenbure
County farm agent for the State Col
lege Agricultural Extension Service
was tellin' me last week:
Lots Of people have been laying
the responsibility for present high
prices on the farmer. But he is be-
ing pinched just as much as any
one else" Then he went on to ex-
plain.
Dairy feeds, he said, jumped SIT
a ton in a recent five-weeks period,
but milk prices held their own. Lay
ing mash, essential for egg produc-
ton, is up SO ton. Due to the world
shortage of grain, wheat and oats
are up $18 a ton, and soybean meal
up to s21.50.
In this respect, farmers who pro-
duce such commodities as meat, poul-
try products, and milk, are also con-
sumers, for they often rely heavily
on the selling market for their chick
en- and livestock feeds. They must
pay farm labor bills, too, Agent Laney
reasoned and this cost has increas-
ed three-fold since before the war.
According to figures released in
June, prices that farmers have re-
ceived for their products have not
advanced as rapidly as the income
of industrial workers.
So, the way look at it, our Coun-
try Cousins who take all the risks
connected with providing us with fcod
should be applauded for conscientious
attempts to hold down our cost OF
living.
