Can a serviceman in Japan marry
a Japanese girl and bring her to live
in this country?
No, not any more. A special law
was passed last July allowing any
soldier, sailor or marine to marry a
Japanese girl and bring her back to
this country when his enlistment
expired, or when he got sent to
State-side duty.
But the law said the marriage
would have to take place before Au-
gust %, this year. If the marriage
took place after that date the bride
is not entitled to reside in this
country.
Query from Mrs. r. H., Washing
ton: What is meant by 20-pay Ma
tional Service Life Insurance pol
icy?"
It's a permanent type of NSLI,
just like ordinary life, except that
the owner of the policy pays pre-
miums for only 20 years after he
takes out the policy. At the end of
20 years the policy is paid up. OF
course, premiums for the 20 years
are considerably higher than for an
ordinary life policy.
At the end of the 20 years the in
sured can not get the $4,000 or
whatever the amount of the policy
is. 1t stays with the Government
until the insured dies, when it goes
to the beneficiary.
From Mrs. v. D. L., Portland,
Ore: "If a veteran re-enlists today,
will his family still get the same
allowance they got during the warp"
The War Department tells me
there has been no change. The
allowances are still the same.
From G. F. D., Pueblo, Colo: "Can
you tell me if I am eligible for a
State veterans bonus?"
All the States which have ap-
proved bonuses for World War II
ex-servicers have their own spe-
cial qualifications and regulations.
The best way to find out exactly how
you stand is to write to the depart
ment of veterans affairs at the
State capitals of all States in which
you have lived and from which you
think you may be entitled to receive
bonus. Give full particulars in
your letters.
From D. ]. ", Arlington, Va:
Where can I make application and
get the proper forms to buy car
with my CT bill loan?"
Any bank or other accredited
lending agency. But you may have
trouble getting a CT loan to buy a
car. You must prove that the car
is necessary to you in your business.
Take your discharge when you go to
apply.
From Mrs. L. H., Fort Wayne:
Three months after my husbands S
discharge from the Coast Guard he
was killed in an auto accident. I
have one daughter. Is either of us
eligible for any of the veterans
benefits which my husband and her
father would have been entitled TOP"
Sorry to tell you that you are not,
with one exception. You are en-
titled to a 10-point preference in
applying for Civil Service position.
From E. W., Oklahoma City:
What are the chances of the Gov
ernment extending the time during
which term" insurance may be held
beyond the present eight years."
Excellent.
From M. K. j., Lawrence, Mass. ::
"Is an American citizen who served
in the Army of an ally eligible to
any education under the CT bill?"
Yes, If he Cor she) has not re-
ceived a similar benefit from the
ally. He (or she) is entitled to the
same amount of education Zone year
plus length of service, not to exceed
four years. that any United States
veteran gets.
Maj. Mai and his staff are
equipped to dnSt0er any question
from World War II veteran.
Send your questions to him in
care of this newspaper and in
close Selt-addressed, stamped
envelope.
