Veterans Benefit Bill
Sent 10 White House
BY the Associated Press

The Senate passed and sent to
the White House last night a bill
liberalizing various veterans ben
efits.
The Veterans Administration
estimated the first-year cost of
the changes at about $112, 2,597, 600
World War I veterans whose
disabilities are legally presumed to
be service connected would re-
ceive the same compensation as
those whose disabilities are direct
ly service-connected, instead Of
IS per cent of those rates.
The rate for total wartime dis
ability would be raised from $138
to $3.50 a month, with proper
tionate increases for the nine de-
|grees of partial disability. Over
all. the increases would be about
81 per cent.
The bill also would raise the
rate Of wartime death compensa-
ton for a widow with one child
from 500 to $105 month plus
$25 a month for each additional
child, instead Of the SIS now pro-
vided.
Compensation extended by the
last Congress to dependents Of
veterans having a go per cent or
more service-connected disability
would be extended by the bill to
dependents of veterans rated SO
per cent disabled.
The bill also would revise dis
ability ratings of tubercular vet
erans when the disease has been
arrested.
Another section would nberalize
regulations governing veterans
whose disease, injury or death was
incurred without wilful miscon-
duct on their part while in con-
finement under court-martial or
civil court sentence.
In such cases, the disease, in
jury or death would be deemed to
have been incurred in line OF duty
if the sentence did not involve a
dishonorable discharge or felony.

fer television in black and white
instead of in color for most f&st-
action programs. particularly

David b. Smith, RMA engineering
subcommittee chairman declared,
but I believe that in a baseball
telecast, for instance. most of us
would rather see where the ball
is going than what colored clothes
the umpire is wearing"
Mr.. Smith, a Philco Corp. vice
president, held to the RMA con-
tention that none of the color sys-
TENS developed thus far would be
sufficiently effective and economi-
cal to justify FEC approval for
commercial use at this time. He
also said he had no reason to
change an earlier RMA opinion
that wide spread public use OF
color TV is several years Off"
The witnes insisted that tele-
vision set manufacturers are not
selflshly trying to delay adoption
Of color TV for public use. He
admitted, however, that much OF
the technical data submitted to
the FEC by RMA on proposed
color systems came from a survey
of comparatively few companies
and field tests.
The parade of spokesmen for
companies seeking FEC licensing

impatiently awaited a chance to
testify. The scope of the question

ropean recovery.
In the final voting the House
members approved the Senate'S
figure of s3,77S.380,000 to carry
the Marshall Plan program until
June. 80, 1850.
An early report had said the
conferees were in tentative agree
ment on a $200,000,000 boost in
European aid above the Senate
figure. But in the final ballot the
House members dropped their
fight for an increase.
Quick Final Approval Due.
The measure is expected to get
quick approval in both houses and

$4,000 for a congressional
watchdog committee to keep a

rected ECA Chief Paul Hoffman

To Break Deadlock
In Tokyo Rose Case

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2s.-
Six silent men and six silent
women try once more today to
decide whether Tokyo Rose is
guilty of treason for her wartime
radio broadcasts from Japan.
They reported late last night,
"a hours and 80 minutes after
they had received the case, that
they were unable to agree unani-
mously on a verdict.
Judge Michael j. Roche urged
them to reconsider and reexa-
mine all the evidence" as leisurely
as they liked, to prevent If possible
a second long and expensive trial.
This trial is in its 18th week.

eight overt acts of treason.
The jurors yesterday asked for
stenographic records of testimony
on three of those eight. The jury
did not want the record read aloud
in court, Foreman John Mann ex-
planned. because ''the certain pas
sage we wish would be indicative

Arms Aid Program
Won't Affect Defense
Firings, Johnson Says

Defense Secretary johnson said
today that Defense Department
personnel engaged in the foreign
arms aid program would be car
ried on a separate payroll and
that there would be mo change
in the program of personnel re-
duction within the department"
Mr.. johnson said that the sep
arate payroll would be charged to
the military assistance program
and administered by the Defense
Department as agent.
The secretary expressed the
hope that some of the 1876, 900 per-
sons affected by the current
reduction program would be qua
lifted for the temporary jobs OF
the military assistance program
but he emphasized that none
would be returned to the perman-
ent payroll of the department be-
cause of arms aid employment.
No individual hired for the arms
program may be transferred te
the payroll of the Defense Depart
ment or any of its component
military departments and agen.
cies, he said.
The reduction in force of civilian
employees of the military depart
ments has been undertaken be-
cause the jobs affected have been
determined to be excess to the re-
quirements of the armed forces
under current plans and the
adoption of the military assistance
program has not changed those
plans" the Defense Department
said.
"On the contrary, the intent to
administer the MAP (military as

rately was slated clearly by Sec
retary johnson during hearings
