The Southern gentleman
who is sponsoring this bill
answers TO the name OF John
Rankin and he halls from a
foreign part OF this country
called Mississippi. (Well, what
cha know?)
Mr.. Rankins bill is not too
popular with the legislators
on Capitol Hill because II is
estimated that, if passed, II
will cost the government be-
tween three and four billion
dollars by 1859, but most vet
erans including most colored
veterans. are enthusiastic in
their support of the measure,
and despite the opinions OF
the other legislators. Mr.. Ran
kin's bill has a good chance
Of being passed.
To find a colored veteran
supporting Rankin in anything
he might do will at first sound
like someone is off the beam.
but when you examine the
provisions of the bill you will
in all probability line up with
tile rest Of the boys.
Specifically. the bill would
give veterans Of World War |
and II the same pension
rights now being granted to
veterans OF the Spanish
American War.
To begin with. the bill pro-
vides for the payment Of a

Asked specifically whether
there had been any discussion

piled that "the first strategy
Is 10 get something out OF
