Information for Veterans

Legislation has been signed by
President Truman designed to fur
ther liberalize the National Service
Life Insurance Act for some ten
million World War II veterans who
lave allowed their term policies TO
lapse The new law gives the Adj
ministratOr of the Veterans Admin
lstratiOn authority to determine the
condition of reinstatement by adj
miniStrative regulations.
General Omar n. Bradley, Y. A..
Administrator, Immediately an
nOunced that Veterans who have al
lowed their \ l. to lapse at any
time in the past may be reinstated
without taking physical eXamlna-
tiOn provided that they are in as
Sood health as they were at the
time of lapse, and provided they
make two monthly premium pay
ments.
These liberal reinstatement pro-
visions will remain in effect untll
August |. l947. Also, under the law,
veteran may obtain any perma-
nent n s l. plan without previous
ly having held a term insurance
policy. Under the old law, V. A. was
f required to issue y $ l. | originally
/ On term plan only, and it could
rot be converted to It permanent
plan type until one year after the
policy was first taken out.
The new Act provides, in certain
cases, for automatic conversion O
/ term insurance to permanent plar
il the policy holder is totally dis
abled. Under the old law, if he fail
ed TO convert within the tern
period, protection ceased.
All y l. policies provide for ;
waiver of premiums for veterans
who become totally disabled for 81,
CT more consecutive months. IIvel
though premiums are being waived
these veterans can convert thei
term policies, to all types of pcrma
ncnt insurance, except the cndOW
mcnt plan type. The premium vii
be waived during the cOntinuanC

U. s. Objects To Soviet Proposal
 For Delay In U. N.

LAKE SUCCESS, (P) - The United States objected strongly today to a Soviet proposal that the United Nations delay consid- eration of membership applica- tions from Austria, Italy, Hungary and Romania.
 Hayden Raynor, U. s. represen- tative, told the security councils membership committee that the United States could not accept Russias contention that study of these applications must await rat ification of the peace treaties.
 He pointed out that treaties with Italy, Hungary and Romania all ready had been ratified by all necessary states except Russia and added:
 Surely the peoples of states which merit admission should not be penalized solely because of the failure on the part of one state to ratify."
 Raynor said Austria should be placed in a different category all together, since the big powers all had agreed she was not to be con- sidered as an ex-enemy state.

Churchill Willing To Back New Loan From U. $.

WOODSTOCK, Eng. (P)-Wins- ton Churchill pledged today that his Conservative party would back any efforts of the Labor govern ment to- obtain easements of the swiftly disappearing $3,750,000,000 U. s. loan and to obtain new American credits.
 Churchill, in a party speech, said some of the loan conditions alarmed" him. Particularly the clause obligating Great Britain to make current sterling transactions by British customers freely con- vertible into dollars.
 However I relied, and rely now on the wisdom of the fair-minded American people to make the n e c sary easements, without which a policy for which they have made heavy sacrifices will certainly fail in its effects" the wartime prime minister said.

Intense Heat Brings Deaths In States
(By The Associated Press)


 The nation trudged back to work today to face a hot Monday after all but the East Coast experienced a SWeltering week end.
 A wave of heat warmed Sunday outings from the Pacific Coast through the Mississippi valley with Pierre, s. D., reporting the highest temperatures-ll0-as Ar kansas sWeated through it's eighth straight day of 100 plus which re- suited in two deaths.
 Although the eastern seaboard for the most part escaped the week ends heat, temperatures were ex- pected to climb today and fore casts were for continued high mer- cury readings over almost the en- tire nation for the next day or two.
 Portland, Maine, however, hit a record low yesterday for the date at the mercury read 48, three de 9reeS below the previous low set in 1927.
 Across the country the tempera- ture hit 90 in Los Angeles for the ninth straight day of 90 or above, which the weather bureau said was the longest sustained hot spell since l939 The heat is expected to continue over the lower Pacific coast
 To the north lightning killed a fisherman and knocked out his companion at Spokane, Wash, as temperatures scared to 90 despite scattered storms. Cooler weather was forecast
 All along the Rockies heat was the subject of the day Sunday and temperatures up to 100 were pre- dicted for the next two days in the plains area with reading in the 90's in Utah and the Mountain States. Phoenix, Ariz., reported l07 yesterday. Boise, Ihado. had it's hottest day since 1927-1O3.
