Guide
By Mai. Thomos M. NioI

The direct loan feature Of the
new housing bill doesn't go into
effect until July 20. After that
you can get a direct loan only if
the following things are true:
l. It's impossible for you to get
a regular GI loan from any pri-
vate lender.
2. The VA thinks you are q
satisfactory credit risk"
3. The monthly repayments bear
a proper relation" to what you are
now earning and are likely to earn.
4. You have used none Of your
CT loan privilege before.
Shop around for a CT loan from
a private lender. If you can't get
one by July 20 speak to the VA
about direct loan.
From a reader in Washington,
D. c.: Can a veterans widow
continue to draw a pension If she
moves to Mexico?"
Yes. She draws the pension
even il she becomes citizen Of a
foreign country.

botn graduate from high school
this year, could I apply my educa-
tlonal benefits to further the edu-
cation of at least one Of them?"
I'm afraid not. Only veterans
are entitled to CT bill educational
benefits, not their dependents or
next of kin.
From A. Y. R., Brooklyn, N. Y:
Il served in the Jewish Brigade
British Army from 1941 to 1916.
Does the British government have

Yes; and you would be eligible

Entitlement doesn't enter the

thing the VA considers is how long
it will take to restore the veterans
