Rippzng
of The Rivers

Hardin is the WarmeSt place
in the understanding to the
thermometer on the front of
the Tribune-Herald building.
According to said thermometer
temperatures assembled to more
than 20 degrees above the early
part of this week.
we knew the thing was about
20 degrees too warm and has
been for more than a year, but
because Of the psychological eff
feet, we neglected to take it
down during the cold weather.
Many's the citizen we've seen
shiver up to our thermometer
during the recent cold weather
and 60 away with a look of
Satisfaction-or diSbelief-on his
face.
The thermometer also con-
tains a make-Shift barometer in
the form of a glass tube con-
tanning a liquid. The instrlc-
items say when the liquid in the
tube becomes cloudy, a storm
is approaching. 1t worked fine
until the first storm occurred.
After that the liquid never
cleared UP again although we
have had plenty of fair weather
since.
Since warmer weather is here
to Stay-we hope-we will have
to remove the p~reyaricator to
the ash can.
Local citizens are beginning
to get back to normal after
surviving one of the toughest
winters on record. With weather
the past week ranging all the
way from fair and warm
through rain and fog to freez-
ing temperatures, some streets
and roads are in hazardous
condition due to frozen slush
and ice.
The possibility of local floods
along the river valleys is inn
minent should warmer weather
prevail for a short time and
cause a rapid breakup of the
thick ice. For that reason the
Big Horn county sheriff has
cautioned livestock men to re-
move livestock from feeding
areas along the rivers where
there is danger of floods.
Cody accident-from the files
of the National Safety Council:
Do you think feminine cur
iosity is overrated2 Well, in
Pasadena, Calf, Mrs. Elizabeth
Knudsen arrived at a railroad
crossing to find the wig-Wags
wig-wagging full tilt. Intrigued,
she drove on the tracks to see
what was coming. 1t was a
train, of all things. She backed
up hastily, but the locomotive
caught the front bumper of
her car. Mrs. Knudsen, he cur
iosity satisfied, was unhurt.

Truman Backs Graham
In Dispute on Access
To Atomic Secrets

DR.. Frank P. Graham, president
of the University of North Carolina,
has the support of President Tru-
man in a controversy over his clear
ance for access to atomic secrets.
Mr.. Truman told news confer
ence yesterday that he has the ut
most confidence in DR.. Graham. He
made the comment when asked
about reports that the Atomic
Energy Commission had overruled
its own personnel security review
board and its own security officer In
granting DR.. Graham access to some
secret atomic information.
Roberts Heads Board.
The President said he thought the
reporter who asked the question was
wrong-at least he hoped he was
wrong-about the objections of the
review board which was headed by
retired Associate Justice Owen j.
Roberts of the Supreme Court.
The Atomic Energy Commission
announced December 20 that DR..
Graham had been cleared for access
to atomic secrets as head of the
Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear
Studies. a nonproflt group that in
cludes representatives of several
Southern universities.
At the time, the Acc said DR..
Graham was cleared despite the
fact that he had associated lat times
with individuals or organizations
influenced by motives or views OF
Communist derivation" 1t added
that lit is clear in DR.. Graham's
case that such associations have
neither impaired his integrity and
independence nor aroused in him
the slightest sympathy for COM
munism ."
Stands BY Statement.
In its statement the Acc made
no reference to any objections from
its security officials. 1t has refused
comment on the reports except to
say the commission is standing by
its December 20 statement. ! i Il
DR.. Graham, an outstanding
Southern educator, yesterday de-
clared he has always been against
communism and totalitarian die
tatorships." He made the state
ment in a telegram to Radio Com
mentator Fulton Lewis, jr., who
said in a broadcast this week that
DR.. Graham had been cleared over
objections of Acc security officials.

Droftees' and Veterans Guide
Nv Mai Thomas IA. N

So you are having trouble with
your National Service Life Insur-
ance? And you want to know
why? Maybe this will help explain
a little.
The Commission on Organiza-
ton of the Executive Branch Of
the Government. headed by for
mer President Hoover, has pub
lished the result of its task force
study of the Veterans Administra-
ton. Trying to get specific in
formation on any of the many VA
activities investigated by a COM
mission task force" is something
like searching for the needle in the
haystack there is that much
material to 60 through.
But here are some interesting
facts on insurance appearing in
the report:
Say you want to convert your
term insurance to one of the six
permanent forms. You just notify
your district VA office, fill out a
form and the conversion is ac-
complished, like that. You think?
Not according to the report, which
says:
The time required to complete
conversion of term insurance into
permanent insurance is frequently
more than one month. AS re-
suit, one or more additional premi-
ums become in default and not
only does the conversion cost have
to be refigured but often steps to
revive a lapsed policy are added
to the transaction. Moreover. the
policy holder is not protected dur
ing that time"
If the act of converting term to
permanent insurance takes more
than month the insured. of
course, must pay one more pre-
mium at the term rate. But if the
VA thinks the job can be done
within the month it is not going to
charge the extra premium. Then.
if no premium is paid, the policy
Immediately goes into state OF
lapse (upon expiration of the 81
day grace period.
If the veteran dies before he is
notified by VA that he owes an
additional term premium. his wife
will be without insurance benefits.
The least that can happen in
that case is reinstatement of a
lapsed policy, and that takes the
time and effort of both the vet
eran and the VA.
The report goes on: IVA files
indicate that more than SO per
cent of conversion cases are un-
necessarily delayed and Is per
cent are mishandled.
Here is what it says on death
claims:
1t takes an average of 80 days
to settle a death claim on con-
verted policy. In other words
say you die, fully insured under a
20-pay life policy. Your bene-
ficiary can expect to wait almost
three months (after providing the
VA with proof of your DEATH be-
fore the lump sum payment. or the
first monthly installment, is
received.
But, says the report, II per cent
to 81 per cent of all death claims
paid out by private (commerciaD
insurance companies are settled
within Is days after notice of
death has been received.
According to the report, the big
gest single trouble with VAS in
surance service comes from failure
to account properly for premiums
received. Some premiums, says
the report, are simply not posted
at all mot applied to the account
of the veteran who sent them i'm d.
Others, says the report. are posted
to the wrong account. CWilliam
F. Smith sends in his premium, but
William T. Smith gets the creditD
Some accounts, says the report,
are marked "lapsed' when premi-
ums have been paid way in
advance!
One of the reasons for this, says
Evening star., 1949-03-21

the report, is that the work of VA
premium record clerks is not
checked by another worker, as is
done by most private insurance
companies.
None of this is particularly new
to readers of the Guide" This

reasons why it is tough for VA to

and-a- half years. it would seem to
be time for the VA to do a really

job can be done.
