QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. Since my discharge from
the armed services, I find that
1 am suffering from a chronic
ailment. Am I entitled to any,
thing in the way of compensa-
ton or pension because of my
disability?
A. Chronic disease causing
10 per cent or more disability
within one year from separa-
ton from active military serv-
ice is presumed to have been
incurred in, or aggravated by
military service. Your service
nuts have been for a period of
80 days or more, part of which
was war time service. However,
a finding of service connection
may be rebutted by evidence
showing previous existence of
presence of a new ailment
which affects the chronic dis
ease.
@. I was wounded in action
in World War I and have a
service connected disability.
Can Veterans Administration
change by rating from service
connected 20 per cent to nom
service connected total disabil-
ity at age IS?
A. A World War I veteran
receiving compensation for
partial disability due todisease
or injury incurred in service
who's rated permanently and
totally disabled for pension
purposes, is awarded the great
er monetary benefit, if his
claim is otherwise appropriate.
If the service connected dis
ability subsequently becomes
even more disabling and rep
resents an additional benefit,
the payments can be made on
that basis.
Q. I have two dependent
children. am a World War
veteran and would like to know
If I can get a nonservice-con-
nected pension?
A. If you believe you are
permanently and totally dis
abled, you should communicate
with the Veterans Administra-
ton regional office having jur-
iSdiction over your address and
forward to that Office VA Form
8-526b, together with evidence
of your condition.
@. My son was killed in
World war II. He had desig-
mated his two sisters as bene-
ficiaries Of his GIL. insurance.
One Of the sisters passed away
recently and I would like to
know if I have any rights to
her insurance benefits?
A. If his sisters were jointly
designated beneficiaries or II
each sister was specifically des-
ignated contingent beneficiary
of the other, then upon the
death of one sister the other
sister would get the share of
the one who died.

BOSTON MASSACRE DAY
OBSERVANCE ACT PASSED IN 1882

II has been fifteen years since
the Massachusetts legislature
enacted legislation for the an
nual observance of the Boston
Massacre. While March 5 is in
some quarters often styled at
tucks Day" that in truth is n
misnomer. Four other Ameri-
cans besides Attacks died on
March 5, TITO martyrs in the
cause of American Tndepend-
ence.
The massacre took place on
King St., now State ST., and not
on Boston Common as some
Western writ ers enormously
state. It is the monument to the
martys that is on the Common.
Inscribed on the monument are
their names, headed by that Of
Attacks, colored American who
was first to fall on that historic
day.
AS usual exercises this year
will be held in front of the
monument by several civic and
historical societies. The Boston
Equal Rights League takes a
prominent part in the ceremo-
MES, which are conducted not
only at the monument but in
series at the "spot" on state st.
at the Old Granary Burying
Ground where all FIVE martyrs
are inferred in a single grave;
and concluding at the monu-
ment.
Below is printed a copy of the
Boston Massacre Act which was
passed in 1882. The bill was
fathered by William Monroe
Trotter who won for it the sup
port of leading members Of the
Legislature.

POWER WITHOUT
RESPONSIBILITY

Despite all kinds of minority
pressures, the elected representa-
tives of the people passed the Taft
Hartley labor bill over a political
veto in an effort to provide equal
treatment under the law for both
unions and employers.
1t is tradition of our American
democracy that we accept the will
of the majority of the people, whe-
Their we, personally, like it or not.
Some of our labor leaders" how
ever, still benumbed with dictator
ial power bestowed on them for
the past twelve years, are showing
signs of rebellion.
First, John l.. Lewis forced the
coal operators to include a non
penalty clause in his contract
with them, despite the fact that the
new labor law specifically defines
the responsibility of unions to car
ry out their part of a contract or
face a suit in the courts. The op-
orators submitted to this imposi-
ton to avoid an industry-wide shut
down.
The United Automobile Workers
CLIO, executive board told it's 95O
local unions that it WILL NOT
confirm any new automotive indus
try contract that does not include
non-penalty clause and provision
for mediation machinery that
would keep disputes out of the
hands of the National Labor Rela-
lions Board. And they seem to
nave won round number one.
Shortsightedness and a complete
lack OF labor craftsmanship by
many union leaders was, in a large
measure, responsible for the en-.
actment of the Taft-Hartley bill.
The American public does moi
ike to be disregarded by anv re.
Delllous minority.

ONLY A POLITICAL COMEDY
BY J. &. JONES

WASHINGTON, d. c. There
have been lots of worse things that
are more scandalous than the sem
sational investigation of Howard
Hughes, tycoon of the airways;
with Elliott Roosevelt as the "star"
in the show.
Elliott and his wife were alleg-
ed to have been entertained by the
Hughes organization to the tune of
more than $4,000 in a period of two
years. Elliott denied that John w.
Meyer spent that much money on
him and his wife. The testimony
doesn't prove that Elliott put the
Hughes deal across at the White
House, or even talked to his father
about it.
Strangely enough, this sensation
was kept in cold storage until Con-
gress adjourned. 1t is easy to
agree with the opinion expressed
in a leading Washington newspa-
per that everything indicates that
the whole affair was conceived as
kind of Observation-Disclosures
for the next years campaign"
From that viewpoint the timing
was masterful.
There are some bad spots in the
affairs of our own Nation and
among it's people, but the money
that has been ruthlessly, scand-
lousy, inexcusably donated to ma
tons over the world, whose wars
we won and financed, are of more
Importance to the American peo-
pie and our country's future than
all the airplane monkey shines and
tragedies in all the years.
OF course, Elliott Roosevelt al
ways makes a fine spotlight for
picturesque situations, but he
doesn't do very much damage, be-
cause his influence in Washington
seems to have dimmed.

Milford chronicle., 1947-08-15

IN THE LONG RUN, our national tax
policy must take notice of certain clear facts
First of all, the present crushing burden
OF taxation is a direct threat to new invest
ment and the growth of small business This
is particularly true of venture enterprises
where considerable risk is involved. A man
won't take chance when he must absorb the
whole loss if the project fails-and will be
able to keep only a small part of the profit if
it succeeds.
Secondly, the cry that substantial tax re-
duction will benefit the rich more than the
poor, is the worst kind of pandering to ig
nOrance. The tax rates in the so-called upper
brackets have become confscatory. They
have largely destroyed the rewards for effort
and ability. They have thus taken away
much of the impetus for achievement-tht
kind of achievement that built this country
created jobs, and gave it the highest standard
OF living on earth.
Third, there will be no real cut in the cost
OF government until decline in Federal reve
nues makes it unavoidable So long as the
money flows in, the bureaucrats will waste +
and ask for more. That is one of the mos
compelling arguments for tax reduction.
