tence in a Red Cross news release
of a few days back: '"The Ameri-
can Red Cross has allocated over
$17,000,000 more than one-flfth
of its total budget. for services
to veterans during the 1949-l950
fiscal year."
More than $l7,Ooo,ooO; Where
does it all go?
According to the release. 81 per
cent of it will be spent for home
service" in local Red Cross chap
tiers. The rest will help finance
national programs of claims serv-

Let's take closer look at Red
Cross services for the ex-service
world. Claims service, for instance.

workers in 3,739 local Red Cross
chapters are well briefed on the
job of helping veterans fill out
disability compensation forms.
They know the VA ropes and can
give you a pretty good idea
whether your disability is service
connected or not. They can tell
you just what medical and other
evidence you need to support your
claim.
After you've filled out your
Form 526, your home service
worker can tell you where to send
it. Once it gets to your VA re-
gional Office, the Red Cross field
representative (there is at least
one in every VA district and re-
gional Office can follow it
through. If it gets tied up for
want of a specific piece of infor-
nation or additional evidence. the
field representative will let you
know about it, and your local
chapters home service worker will
help you supply it.
OF course, Red Cross isn't the
only outfit helping ex-servicers
file disability compensation claims.
But it does a good job of it and
you might find it mighty handy
to use it's talents in that field.

that, and certainly less known. is
the fact the Red Cross last year

many, the Saar and Austria.
French Foreign Minister Schu-
man proposed the Saar, now in
co1porated in Frances economy,
for associate membership. This
met with spirited opposition from
some ministers, who said the Saar
was not a sovereign state and
could not become one until a
German peace treaty was written.
Ofhcials said there were no
formal proposals on admission of
the West German Republic or OF
Austria, but the ministers agreed
to include both in the discussion.
The Foreign Ministers Commit
