the umpteenth party being given

United States Minister to Lux
embourg Perle Mesta will arrive
in Washington little earlier than
she originally expected. She will,
in fact, check in at the Sulgrave
Club on Thursday of this week,
the day after her ship docks in
New York. She is currently in
haling the sea breezes from the
deck of the Queen Mary which
sailed from Southampton and
Cherbourg on Friday.
Mrs. NJ will probably be razzed
considerably about coming on a
British ship as diplomats of any
country make a point of travelling
under their own flag. She couldn't,
however, help that. The United
States Lines have only two pas
senger ships, the America and the
Washington, and neither was
scheduled to make a westward
crossing that would bring her to
the Capital on the date she was
due.
The State Department says that
the consultations for which Mrs
Mesta was summoned will keep
her here from three weeks to a
month.
Word comes that the Duchess
of Windsor went on an unusual

| Veterans
|Guiide
BY Mai. Thomas M. Mol


The most expensive item in VAS
annual budget is still the educa-
ton and training program, but
close second is the item labelled
Pension and Compensation"
You can read down the column
of figures and get a quick under
standing of the real cost of war.
For example, dependents of
Mexican War veterans Fought in
1845) will draw more than $4,000
during the IL months starting next
July /. Dependents of the old
Indian Wars. fought as we
stretched our Western frontier to-
ward the Pacific Ocean. are still
getting slightly more than $1,000
900 year.
Getting into the goth century,
World War I ex-servicers will pick
up about 1925, 900, 900 next year as
compensation for their service
connected disabilities. Almost
100000 World War I veterans who
don't have service-connected dis
abilities will receive $165 100000
in pension checks.
But the figures don't get really
big till you come down to World
War II. The Presidents estimate
of the amount of compensation to
be paid World War II veterans
who have service connected disa-
bilities is just slightly under 81 .000.-
100000 That is about S75 900. 900
more than World War II vets got
as compensation during fiscal year
1949 Q2 months starting July l,
1948) and yet. according to the
Presidents estimate, fewer vet
Grams have service-connected disa-
bilities now than had them during
1949.
For one reason, the VA has
since knocked off the compensa-
ton rolls a lot of veterans who
originally got there with malaria
and similar disabilities but whose
malaria hasn't shown up for a
couple of years That's the main
reason there will be fewer vet
Grams getting compensation next
year Fiscal year 195D then there
were last year Fiscal 1949).
The reason they will get more
money. all together, is that COM
pensation rates were boosted from
$138 for 100 per cent disability
to $3.50, effective last December l.
Pensions are not yet a large
item for World War II veterans.
Not large, that is, compared to
compensation or to pensions for
World War I. Next year about
$4,000 veterans will split about
S37 100000 in pensions. To rate
a pension, you know, veteran
must be totally and permanently
disabled from non-Service-con- |
nected disability.
Add up the total amount to be
paid out next year for both COM
pensation and pension to both
veterans and dependents of dead
veterans, from the Mexican War
through World War II and you
get s2,237 100000.
That is less than the expected
cost of the education and training
expense of the CT Bill, which
comes to almost $4,000. 100000 for
fiscal 1851.
The biggest item in CT Bill
education is subsistence allowance
($1 ,662 100000, followed by tut
ton ($730, 900, ,000) and supplies,
which will cost $8S,000,000.
Said the President of CT Bill
education: THE need for educa-
ton and training benefits is draw
ing to a close" But it is still the
largest single veterans expense.

Six N ation ns Demand Show Down on Korea

LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. 5-tR-Six countries, including the Big Three Western Powers, called upon the United Nations Assembly today to act immediately to stop Communist China's intervention in Korea.
 The demand was contained in a formal memorandum filed with U.N Secretary General Trygve Lie by the United States, Britain, France, Ecuador, Cuba and Norway. It fol- lowed yesterdays request that the Chinese intervention be put before the Donation Assembly for debate.
 Brief, Mild
 The new document was both brief and mildly worded. It was submit- ted to conform to Assembly rules which require an explanatory memorandum to accompany any re- quest for taking up new business.
 The memorandum made these main points:
 1. Chinese Communist troops are fighting against LIN. forces in Korea.
 2. An attempt was made in the Security Council to get them to withdraw but Russia vetoed the pro posal.
 It then added:
 Intervention
 Under these circumstances. the delegations of Cuba, France, Ecua- dor, Norway, United Kingdom and the United States believe that the Assembly should now consider im- mediately, as an important and urgent question, the intervention of the central peoples government of the peoples Republic of China in Korea, with view to making ap- propriate recommendations"
 The mildness of the tone was un- derstood to be in keeping with the go-slow policy which has been put into effect during the Wash ington talks of British Prime Min ister Attlee and President Truman. There still was no definite word as to how strong the sponsoring powers would go in resolution which they are considering.
 Behind -the-Scenes
 Meanwhile, behind the scenes conferences continued here. Brit aims Sir Gladwyn Jebb arranged for a private luncheon with Gen. eral Wu Hsiu-Chuan today. This followed a dinner given by Lie at his home last night for Wu and several other delegates. including Jebb and Sir Benegal N Raw of India. If any positive results were achieved at the Lie dinner, they were not yet apparent this morning.
