Veterans
|Guiide
By Moj. Thomas M. Mol

Deaths of servicemen and vet
Grams during and as result of
World War II amount to approx
mately 100000. Since almost all
of these took out some National
Service Life Insurance. it is no
problem to figure out about how
many survivors will get dividend
checks.
1t will be arounf 100000, maybe
slightly more, because some vet
erans had two or more beneflci-
aries, in which case one policy
would pay a dividend to more
than one person.
Most survivors will not have to
make out an application for their
dividend checks. Some will. Here
is how it works:
Let's say you are the widow of
Marine who was killed on Two
Jima in 1945 and you've been
getting insurance payments every
month since, because you naturally
were your husbands beneficiary.
Well, one of these days you
will get a dividend check from
the VA You won't know when
it might come. You'll get no
advance notice and no forms to
fill out. But as the VA computes
the amounts of dividends of de-
ceased veterans, it will finally
come to yours, make out a check
for the amount and mail it off.
The VA doesn't have to get a
form filled out in your case, be-
cause 1t has ruled that in every
instance where a veteran Cor
seryiceman) died with his in
surance in force, the beneficiary
now receiving payments will get
the dividend. The VA knows who
the beneficiaries are.
Unfortunately there is no way
to estimate the arrival date of
the check. If no hitch develops,
1t should be mailed within the
next four months.
But. now let's say you are the
widow of a veteran who died after
discharge-and after letting the
insurance lapse. You were the
beneficiary, but since the policy
had lapsed before his death you
got nothing.
However, dividends are paid
even though a policy has lapsed.
If your husband had made will.

Congress Members
Extended Remarks
Ruled Privileged

Judge Matthew Mcclure yeSter-
day held that a Congressman s
statements are privileged, even
though they appear as extended
remarks" (not uttered on the
floor Of the House, in an appendix
Of the Congressional Record.
The Judge made his ruling in
District Court, tossing out libel
suit against Representative Sab
ath, Democrat, of Illinois.
Co-defendants against libel
charges contained in the same
suit, the Anti-Defamation League
Of B'nai Birth, also was absolved
Of liability in the judges ruling
The league, a branch of the
national Jewish fraternity, was
sued on a different point involv-
ing the question of privilege.
The libel action was taken in
July. 1948, by Robert H. Williams,
q Los Angeles writer, who sought
q total of 100000 damages from
the co-defendants.
Mr.. Williams took exception to
MIR Sabath's extended remarks
in the Record in August, 1947
when Mr.. SABBATH, in effect, ques-
toned the existence of Robert
II. Williams" as author of a book
entitled, THE Anti Defamation
League and Its Use in the World
Communism Offensive"
Mr.. Sabath's remarks, admit
tedly never made in speech or de-
bate on the House floor, supple
mented a dissertation deploring
anti-Semitism in the United
States.
Although he did not write a
memorandum explaining his rul-
ing, Judge Mcclure asserted that
q Congressman's privilege concern
ing such remarks is absolute"
under the Constitution.
Told Of the decision, Mr.. SABBATH,
s4-year-old Dean of the House, %
said today he paid no attention to
the suit from the start"
"The point Gnvolving congress
sional privilege has been held
many times before" he said. "And
In this case there was nothing
nbelous to begin with"
In absolving the Anti-Defama-
ton League, Judge MCGUIRE ruled
there had been no showing of
malice by the league in making
certain remarks about Mr.. Will
liams in one of it's 1948 publica-
tons, dealing with "Anti-Semitism
In the United States in 1947."
Mr.. Williams charged that the
book described him as express
ing unfriendly sentiments" He
said he was further injured by a
reference to him as the alleged
author" of ''The Anti-Defamation
League and Its Use in the World
Communism Offensive" whose au-
thorship he acknowledged.
Other "innuendos and state
mentS," such as one describing
Mr.. Williams as never having
been a military intelligence Of
fcer, also were derogatory, false
and libelous, the writer charged.
On this point. Judge Mcclure
cited an earlier. case, establishing
that. if one party writes an al
legged libel in defending himself
against the charges of another,
that alleged libel is privileged,
unless malice is Sflosprf Ssl s. - rs.
