QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
OF INTEREST TO VETERANS

Here are authoritative answers
from the Veterans Administration
to four questions of interest to
former servicemen:
%. | intend to apply for a CT
loan to 60 into business. Is there
any limit to the period in which
must repay such a loan
A. If your loan is non-rea1
estate business loan, it will have
to be repaid in 10 years or less; a
real estate business loan may run
up to rs, years.
@. Why do l lose all the money
/ paid in premiums on my term
insurance when / convert to a
permanent plan?
A. While your term insurance
was in force, you received insur-
ance protection against death at a
very low rate for that period.
Term insurance was intended to
provide no more than that.
@. am receiving compensa-
ton from VA for service con-
nected disability. My dependent
parents reside in a foreign coun-
try. In event of my death, who
should they contact to get the
compensation to which they may
be entitled?
A. They should contact the u.
S. Foreign Service in the country
in which they reside. The U. S.
Foreign Service cooperates with
VA in the administration of bene-
fits available to veterans, their
dependents or beneficiaries in
foreign areas.
@. was honorably discharged
without disability after World
War II service. Since my dis
charge, l was partially disabled
in an automobile accident which
prevents me from holding down
fulI-time job. Am l entitled to
any VA benefit for this disa-
bility?
A. No, but if you should be-
come permanently and totally
disabled for reasons not traceable
to your service in the Armed
Forces, you may be entitled to a
pension, providing your income
does not exceed $1,000, if you
have no dependents, or $500 if
you are married or have minor
child.

TAFT AS THE REPUBLICAN LEADER

There is going to be lot of political
heat and slam-hashing in Congress. The
Republicans seem to have starch in their
shirt-colars.
The Republicans appear to have settl-
ed down in agreeing that Senator Robert
A Taft of Ohio is the real Republican
leader whom they will follow in Congress
and push as their candidate to be the next
Presidential nominee.

MORO UN DfLE0ATE
BY Dean Gordon b. Hancock

! Richmond, Va.--According to
Gunnar Myrdal, who wrote the
monumental work AN American
Dilemma no studied or serious
attempt had been made TO intc-
CRATE the Negro into American
life. until the coming Of the New
Deal under the lRmentcd Roose-
welt. II Ia also to be observed
that II was under the New Deal
that the Negro voter broke defin-
itely with the Republican party.
Before this time the Republican
party had the Negroes slavish de-
votion: because II was under this
party that the American Negro
was freed from slavery. In graft
tude, the Negro vote was there
after herded, until the coming Of
the New Deal, when the Negro
broke rudely away and began to
vote for men and measure and no
parties. The only reward for his
slavish devotion. the Negro us
ually received In the form of an
appointment to some office and
with this appointment the Re-
publican party's obligation to the
Negro was discharged until an
other election.
This was for n long time the
pattern Of the Republican par.
tvs dealing with the Negro
voter Of the country. With the
coming Of the New Deal an
other approach was made and
an honest attempt TO lntegrRte
the Negro all down the line.
Not only were Negroes ap-
pointed to outstanding federal
positions but the FEPC was an
attempt TO InteRrate the Negro
economically.
Current history Is replete with
illustrations Of Negro appoint
ments to high and influential
positions here and there about
the nation. Continuing the fine
record Of his predecessor. Presi-
dent Truman has from the begin
ming shown himself wholly COM
mitted to that part OF Roosevelt's
program that recognized the Ne
gro az q ftlll-fiedged citizen Of
the country. and as such, was en-
titled to high a. well as humble
federal appointments.
II was In keeping with this that
within recent weeks Mrs. Edith
Sampson, prominent barrister Of
Chicago, was appointed to the
UN General Assembly. This Is
one Of the highest tribunals Of the
Twentieth Century world and one
u the most important Of all time.
II was q fine diplomatic stroke
for Truman and q fine break for
the Negro race.
Mrs. SIMPSONS appointment
has been hailed with favorable &C.
claim throughout the civilized
world and naturally the Negroes
have been elated. The Russians
were not slow TO take advantage
Of the situation thus created by
