Market Battle Seen
By Ford =, Chevrolet
BY the Assecioied Press

DETROIT, Mar. 2.-General
Motors price cuts suggest
keener Chevrolet-Ford competi-
tive battle may be impending.
The Chevrolet price cut was only
$40 per car, but it brought more
Chevrolet models below the Ford
prices.
Ford has emphasized it has no
present intention of cutting prices.
But it plans to increase pro-
duction. A production increase
If the market can absorb it
easily could lead to a price slash.
Like Ford, Chevrolet has greatly
expanded production facilities
Also it has top priority in the
General Motors ALLEGATION OF ma
terials among its various car
divisions.
So battle easily could develop
this year between these two major
car builders-if labor troubles dc
not handicap one or the other
The labor troubles. incidentally
need not be in their own plants
Stoppages in supplier factories
can impair production.

Here is the optimistic thought
orthe week, if you need one this
clese to Christmas cheer. A letter
ff0m a York, Pa. veteran contains
1t! "You have written about for
mer prisoners of war getting some
$50 100000 from the War Claims
Commission Does that include
els who spent time in guard
houses in this country, or just the
ones who were captured by the
enemy?"
The answer, of course, is "just
the ones who were captured by the
enemy"
To each POW goes 81 for every
prison camp day during which he
did not get food Of the quality and
quantity set by the Geneva Con-
vention Of 1929.
sFrom H. G., Youngstown, Ohio:
Els the Government planning to
raise pensions for non-service-
connected disabilities?"
No. However, the House Of Rep
resentatives passed general PEN
sion raise last session. The Senate
has not yet acted. The bill is In
the Senate Finance Committee.
awaiting hearings. II the Senate
should happen to pass 1t. too.
there would be q good chance Of
the President vetoing 1t.
From Mrs. ]. B. B.. New York
City: "Will you kindly tell me how
or when the insurance dividend
will be paid the mothers Of de-
ceased veterans who are NSL1
beneficiaries?"
Here is the picture. as drawn for
me by the VA:
i. II the veterans insurance was
ini good standing (not lapsed) at
the time Of his death. the benef1-
ciary will get a letter from the VA
sometime in or after January,
1850, enclosing an application.
Upon return to VA of the applica-
ton, the dividend will be paid.
2. # the veterans insurance had
lapsed before his death, and If the
VA has been informed of the
veterans death. the VA claims
service will ascertain who should
get the dividend and send that
person an application form to fill
out. In this case, it goes to the
executor or administrator of the
veterans estate. if there is one,
which there probably isn't. Other
wise, it goes to the person en-
titled to inherit the veterans es-
tate under State laws.
Finding out who that person is
IS. the VAS job.
g. If the veterans insurance had
l4psed before his death. and if the
VA had not been informed of the
death, nobody will get the divi-
dsnd-until, that is, the VA gets
the word that the veteran actually
II dead. Then. the process is the
same as No. Q. above.
From H. G. O., Pascagoula.
Miss: "If the NSLI dividend is
not applied for. but left with the
VA what interest will it draw"
None. However, q veteran may
get his dividend check and then
sent7it back, Endorsed, to the VA
for application to future premium
payments. In that case, the divi-
dend would draw interest. The
principal would depreciate each
time q premium was taken out
OF it.

Atomic News Gives Military Many Problems

FORT BENNING, Ga. (P)-Rus- sia's reported production of nu- clear fission explosion his U. s. military heads with a whole book full of problems, led by this:
 Is Soviet Russia currently capa- ble of delivering atom bombs on American targets?
 So far as they know, the biggest Russian bomber is a copy of the early models fthe U. s. airforce'S B-29 SuperfortresS. That Russian version is believed incapable of striking targets in the continental U. s. from Russian soil and re- turning. However, no responsible military man has ever said that fanatic Russian airmen might not be willing to make a one-way run.
 By doing that they could reach some major American industrial centers.
 A second possibility, and one which military men long contem- plated grimly, is the seizure of
