Vets To Get Near
Three Billions In
NSLI Dividends

WASHINGTON, (P) Veterans
Administrator Carl r. Gray, Jr.,
today authorized payment next
year of a special $2,800,000,000
dividend on national service life
insurance policies.
Gray said he hopes veterans
will begin receiving checks "Some
time in January, 1885," with pay
ment substantially completed in
the first half of that year.
The dividend payment has been
hopefully anticipated by some
economists as a stimulant to pur-
chasing power which might help
offset declining business activity.
Almost 100000 veterans of
World War II will receive the
dividends.
This would average about SITS
for each ex-serviceman, but the
agency said individual calcula-
tons have not been completed.
In general, every veteran who
took out national service insur-
ance and kept 1t at least three
will be eligible. Where
policy holders have died, the ben
eficiaries will receive the funds,
Gray said.
Application blanks for the divi-
dends are being prepared and

"Manana" is one word not to
be found in the vocabulary of
Sonora Ana del Pulgar de Burke.
The Chilean-born wife of
Thomas Burke, former State De-
partment official, and new chair
man of the Pan American Liaison
Committee of Women's Organiza-
tions, never puts off until tomor-
row what can be done today.
Just recently she cyt short a
Long Island vacation to organize
a relief program for victims of
the earthquake in Ecuador. With
it's dynamic chairman in charge.
the committee accomplished its
objective-two air shipments OF
food direct from Washington to
Ecuador within two weeks.
This is just one instance OF
Ana Burke in action. She is a
dynamo of charm, energy and
vivacity.
Her beautiful Wesley Heights
home, with it's old Spanish period
furniture and oil paintings, re-
fleets much of her Latin warmth
and artistic taste.
"All of the paintings were done
by members of my family" she
told a surprised interviewer last
week. Her dark eyes looked with
special pride at one that might
have been done by Rembrandt
himself.
Mrs. Burke laughingly recalled
another time when visiting
friend had the same impression,
and explained the self-portrait,
showing a fine old Spanish
patrician face. was painted by
none other than her late father,
the renowned Spanish artist,
Santiago del Pulgar.
The spacious living room and
hall of the Burke home contain
many other portraits by Mrs.
Burke's family. including several
by her sister, Nine. George Mon
net of New York, also an artist
of note.
Mrs. Burke. who herself has
won acclaim as concert pianist,
comes from a family overflowing
with talent. Though she was
born in Santiago. Chile, where
her father settled after coming
from his native Spain. Mrs. Burke
recalls much of her childhood
was spent travelling with her fam
lily through the capitals of Eu-
rope. MY father wanted all of
us to be proficient in some pro-
fession." Mrs. Burke said, "be-
cause he felt this was the great
est legacy he could leave to U.S."
With her three sisters. Mrs.
Burke studied in Spain and
France, first at the Conservatory
of Barcelona and later at the
Schola Cantorium in Paris. A fine
musician, she has a piano touch
that is poetry in motion.

ton to 20 Latin n-American re-
publics in 1887.
II had never before spoken in
public and though my friends
thought that with my concert ex-
perience I should have no trouble,
I had my qualms about trying it. !"
Mrs. Burke laughed. She was a
veteran lecturer, however, by the
time she came home.
Mrs. Burke again used her
public speaking prowess in 1916
when she attended the Paris
Peace Conference as chairman OF
the Peoples Mandate Committee
delegation.
Both on her Paris and Latin
American trips, she found women
in other countries occupying high
government posts. The men and
women in these countries ex-
pressed amazement, she said. that
American women are not equally
recognized. They would like to
see American women get more
responsible government and for

Mrs. Burke herself is intensely
interested in seeing women attain
a more responsible position in
public affairs and to this end has
