Droftees' and Veterans Guide
BY Moi. Thomos IA. Mol

The new Congress isn't expected
to 60 hog wild over any veterans
Legislation. You'll read about the
House Veterans Committee and the
bills 1t reports to the floor of the
House, but think you'll read very
little at all about legislation head
ing for President Humans desk.
When the President went up to
Congress January to tell about the
State of the Union, he didn't say a
word about veterans. He did not, as
he did two years ago, say that he
thought the veteran readjustment
program was well rounded, moving
smoothly and probably would need
only very minor adjustment.
He Just left out all reference
whatsoever to what he now must
think is finished business which
doesn't need even minor adjust
ments."
That doesn't mean we won't have
new law or two with a veteran
twist. Veterans organizations have
lobbying techniques equal to the best
and they have behind them millions
of members. They all have their
pet legislative schemes and they all
think somewhat alike on many nom
controversial veteran matters.
What the larger veterans outfits
want in the. way of new laws will
be reported here soon.
Meanwhile, here is one proposal
which seems to have strong backing
in Congress. It's the same proposal
which the House Veterans Commit
tee reported favorably last year. The
Rules Committee, however, never al
lowed the bill to come to a floor vote.
The bill, H. r. 4242, would have
raised the income limitations which
govern payment of pensions to
widows Of veterans who died from
nonservice-connected disabilities and
of veterans totally disabled from
nonservice-connected causes.
The way it works now, nc widow
may draw the pension unless her
annual income is less than $1,000
Cor $2,500 If she has a minor child
to support. H. r. 4242 would have
brought those limitations more in
line with the present cost of living.
The bill might have passed the
House, and presumably the Senate,
If it had ever got that far. I think
one reason it was held up in the
Rules Committee Is that no one
could figure out how much it
might cost.
A number of bills on that question
already have been introduced in the
House. OF all the 100 or so veterans
proposals which soon will find their
way into the House Veterans Com
mittee. this one to raise income
limitations seems to have the best
chance of becoming law.
1t hasn't reached the hearings
stage yet.
In his budget message, President
Truman said that veterans and their
families will soon add up to 40 per
cent of our population. Then, he
added, THE necessity for new or
extended benefits for veterans with
out service disabilities should be
judged not solely from the stand
point of service in our armed forces,
but in the light of existing social

welfare programs available to all
veterans and ronveterans alike"
Maybe the President was thinking
of his medical insurance plan for all
citizens when he said that. The idea
is, what's so smart about having q
huge VA hospital program for vet
Grams with nonservice connected
disabilities If, at the same time, we
get under way with some kind of a
medical insurance program for all
the people?
The President ordered VAS hos

by "a hospitals and decreased the
planned bed capacity in IA others.
The President also pointed out
that running the VA would cost one

ROMANTIC ROLE
 FOR BING CROSBY
 AT 10TH CENTURY

After more than a decade of treating his film loves lightly, Bing Crosby has settled down to some serious cinema romancing.
 While still the gag-happy, song filled Bing of old, Crosby enacts the first genuine love story of his career in Paramounts ''The Elm peror Waltz" the lavishly gay Technicolor romance currently dazzling audiences at the 20th Gen. tury Theatre, Last showings of the musical omical-romantical enter tainment will be tonight Joan Fontaine co-stars with Der Bingle in this rapturous hit from the Academy Award winning writ ing, producing and directing team of Bracket and Wilder, and loans Technicolor loveliness may explain somewhat the intensity with which Bing pursues his affairs of the heart in the film.

froh the Presidents cabinet of In
terror Secretary ]. A. Krug.
There is considerable doubt,
however, whether there is much
of an improvement as far as the
valley is concerned in the appoint
ment of Oscar Chapman to the post
vacated.
"Krug certainly was no friend of
the valley. There are numerous
bits of evidence to back the conten-
ton.
"For instance, there is the case
of the East Mesa lands. Despite
earlier commitments by the gov
ernment to furnish water for the
unreclaimed section of Imperial
Valley in the east, Krug arbitrarily
informed the Imperial Irrigation
District that the section would not
be opened. He refused to fulfill
conditions of the All-American ca
nal contract by putting in water
