Paul Jennings in his September

The friendship between the

concert artist and former Carmen

record for the highest number
of solo appearances with the Car

Miss Rain abs made five ap-

Since all Miss Rahn's appear

she also holds the seasons record
for the highest number of appear

VA To Check Over
Payments To Vets

Overpayments of subsistence al.
lowance to veterans has become
a matter of concern to the Vet.
Grams Administration, Mr T. NJ.
Sorensen, Chief Finance officer of
the Lincoln regional office, said
today.
Sorensen added that as of June
80, 1947, $3.50 overpayments in
subsistence allowance amounting
to 1866 ,61O.08 we're outstanding.
This condition existed in spite of
the fact that the Finance division
of the Veterans Administration
had collected during the prior fis.
cal year, by cash and by offset,
the amount Of 1881, 3ss.27.
July, the first month of the cur
rent fiscal year, indicated increas-
ed progress in our efforts to
erase overpayments from our &C.
countsLthe monthly report re-
reflected an actual decrease of
$1T,939.33 as compared to the
previous month, Sorensen said.
A great many factors have con-
tributed to the situation as L
now exists on overpayments. he
said. Chief among these is Public
Law 679, approved August 8, 1916
which imposed ceilings on wages
for purposes of subsistence pay
ment. Many overpayments are
the result of retroactive adjust
ments after payment to the vet
eran had been made.
Another important factor is the
failure, on the part Of the train
ing institution and the veteran to
promptly report interruption or
discontinuance of training. Any
payment of subsistence allowance
after discontinuance Of training is
an automatic overpayment, and
the veteran should not accept and
cash U. S. Treasury checks to
which he is not entitled.
When an overpayment exists on
veterans account. Sorensen ad-
ded, the veteran is notified that
future payments will be withheld
until such overpayment is liquidat.
ed If Withholding of the entire
benefits creates an undue hard
ship upon the veteran, he should
write to the Finance division re
questing that the overpayment be

There is every desire to cooper
ate with and assist tn veteran In
his rehabilitation. On the other
hand, it is absolutely essential
that the veteran, the training in.
and all concerned. CO.
operate IN a determined effort to
