Because service-connected PEN
sions are paid for disabilities in
CURED or aggravated in military
service, Joseph is advised to file a
claim Immediately. Although he
had fiat feet before he was induct-
ed, the drills and hikes during
basic training may have resulted in
increased disability through aggra-
vation of a previous condition.
In arriving at the amount of
pension to be paid for a service
aggravated disability, the Veterans
Administration determines the diff
ference in the degree of disability
recorded at induction and the de-
gree found when the veteran is ex-
amined for his claim. The differ
ence in disability determines the
amount of pension to be awarded,

FACTS for
the VETERAN
(American Red Cross News
Service)

When Joseph H. was inducted,
his foot condition was noted on his
record as flat feet-first degree" /"
During his basic training the con-
dition became worse, and he was
admitted to the station hospital for
treatment. In the hospital, his
condition was described as flat
feet, third degree, symptomatic, /"
and he was given a discharge from
service. Since his discharge, JOS
eph has been unable to work at
any job that required him to be on
his feet. But because his condition
had existed prior to being inducted
into the Army, he thought he was
not entitled to a pension. Friends
advised him to see the Home Ser
vice worker in his local Red Cross
chapter for further information.

ter workers will assist him in MAX
ing application for pension and a
Red Cross field director at the re-
gional office of the Veterans Ad-
ministration will appear before the
rating board to present arguments
on Joseph's behalf.

Whenever the degree of disability
at induction is less than ten per
cent, however, the veteran is en-
titled to pension on the basis of his
present condition.

Delaware National Guard Air
Unit To Encamp In
September
EXPERTS TAKE PART

The dates of the five-day active
training encampment OF the Della
ware National Guard, Air, were
announced as September II to 21
inclusive by Lieut.. Wallace H.
Cameron, commanding officer of
the organization. Colonel Gamer
on also announced that he and two
other officers of the 142nd Fighter
Squadron have been ordered to
Army Air Force schools for cours-
es beginning the first of next
month. The commanding officer is
to report Sept. 1 to the Air Spec
ial Staff School at Craig Field,
Alabama, for an air inspection
course to last 10 weeks. Capt.
Donald M. Raine, Jr., and Second
Lieut.. Lawrence S. Gibson, both
pilots, are to report to the Air
Tactical School at Tyndall Field,
Fla, for a course which opens Aug.
30, and closes Dec. 20. The active
training period in September, Col
onel Cameron said, is being held in
lieu of the two-week field training
and encampment originally plan
ned for late in July but cancelled
as a result of a reduction in funds
for the Air Force by Congress. Ap-
proximately $50 men and rs pilots,
practically all of them with exten-
sive wartime combat experience,
will participate in the training.
The majority will eat and sleep in
their own homes, but will follow an
active training program at the
base. Among the activities to be
carried on will be firing with air.
craft machine guns on the aircraft
gunnery range at the Dover Army
Airport, dive bombing, and prac-
tice squadron attacks on fixed OBJ
jectives. In addition it is planned
to train all personnel in the use of
the carbine and there will be firing
for record with carbines on ground
ranges by all personnel. AS the
Air Force contains many special
ties, each man will be trained or
given a refresher course in his
speciality.

Sensation Promised When Communism in Hollywood

 Almost, that is.
 Tt will be sensational Rep. Nixon (R-CalD predicted.
 A member of the committee, Nix on told reporters:
 We intend to name names and to produce witnesses who will tes- t.fy they have seen some persons prominent in Hollywood at Com mun.st meetings and who will re- port what they said
 Just how many first dimension stars will pe brought into the hear ..~-es is not yet certain. Nixon said he thinks most big name stars who may figure in the inquiry will be listed as tinged with pink rather than bright red Communists.
 The key figures in the Commun- ist movement in Hollywood are not wellknown nationally, Nixon said, but are important in the movie in- Gustry.

U.S.MAkES PROTEST TO
 RUSSIANS
Sharp Note Sent Moscow on Removal of Assets
 from } Balkan States

WASHINGTON, July 30-tR- The United States has protested to Russia against Soviet removal of former German and Italian as- sets from the defeated Balkan states-Hungary, Bulgaria and Ru- mania.
 Undersecretary of State Robert Lovett told a news conference to- day that a note had been delivered to Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov in Moscow yesterday asking full information regarding such trans ters of property.
 Lovett said the State Department took the position in its note that
 1.-All removals of property to Russia before the Hungarian, Bull garian and Rumanian peace treat ies come into effect are "of pro- visional character"
 2.-Austrian assets in these coun- tries can rot be seized on the grounds that they are German properties pending Allied agree raent on a definition of German assets"
 3.-Only removals made in ac- cordance with peace treaty provi- sions can be recognized by the United States as legal.
 The note said the United States IS concerned because it was one of the signers Of the peace treaties with Hungary, Bulgaria and Ru- mania and thus holds responsibility for enforcement of the pacts' pro- visions.
 In discussing Italian assets in these countries, the note said dis posal of such properties is speci- fically provided for in the peace treaty.
 Dispatches from London said the British government had delivered a similar protest to the Russians yesterday. Lovett told reporters in answer to questions that he does not know the value of the prop critics involved but assumes it is considerable. otherwise the United States would net have taken the matter up witt Moscow.
