The Governments check writing
machines this week start pouring
out 5000 million in 1862 insurance
dividends for about S million vet
lerans and servicemen.
They'll be mailed as the Veter-
ans Administration looks over its
shoulder at unclaimed millions Of
dollars in two previous dividends.
All this comes from the Govern
ment's effort to give low cost in
surance to its servicemen back in
1910. Commercial insurance COM
Ipanies felt they couldn't profitably
write insurance which would cover
servicemen against the hazards Of
war.
On October 8, 1910. National
Service Life Insurance was first
issued. All serYicemen were eligible
for $4,000 insurance at small
premiums.
% Million Policies.
BY January, 1852. more than
I22 million policies worth about
$173 billion had been issued. Many
|of the policies have been dropped.
but more than Z million worth
about $50 billion, are now In force.
Between 1910 and 1852, surplus
money has built up from premium
payments and other income on
service life insurance. From the
surplus, the VA has paid 1948
and 1851 dividends. Now comes
the 1852 dividend. For most policy
holders the payment will be about
$50.
When and how the policy hold
ers will get the dividend depends
on the speed of paperwork, the
anniversary date of the policy and
the man himself.
It's up to the policy holder to
tell the VA whether he wants the
dividend paid to him in cash or
left to his credit in the keeping
of VA.
After the dividends start rolling
out at full speed, the VA hopes It
will be paying them the month
after the anniversary date Of the
policy-the day the policy went
into force or was converted.
This dividend covers q one-year
period. It's from the anniversary

Service Policy Holders to Get
5000 Million in Dividends Soon

date Of the policy Ii 1851 to the
same date In 1852.
The I948 dividend covered the
period from the date the policy
was taken out to the anniversary
of that date In, 1948. Most Of those
dividends were for at least four
years.
The 1851 dividend covered q
three-year period from the an
niversary date In 1913 to the same
date in 1851.
The 1913 dividend totalled 50
billion. 1t was. scheduled to be
divided among is million men
The average cut was $185.
Up to February Is, more thar
14.80O. 900 men had received the
dividend. and about $3.50 million
remained unclaimed. VA officials
are pondering why all this money
still hasn't been claimed. It can't
be paid out until the policy hold
|erS claim it.
Still Paying 1851 Dividend.
The 1851 dividend totalled $685.
million and was for eight million
policy holders. Up to February 90
6.5 million men had received about
$527 million. The VA is still In
the process Of paying it of. The
average payment has been $50,
The first two dividends were
considered by the VA to be spe-
cial dividends. The 1852 pay
ment is considered q regular divi-
dend. The VA doesn't know
whether or not 1t will pay q regu-
lar dividend each year hereafter.
It depends on the death rate of
policy holders and other develop
ments during the policy year.
The VA knows one thing for
sure: The Government succeeded
In its effort to give .servicemen
insurance at a low premium rate.
After you've deducted the divi-
dend payments. you find 1t has
cost the average man who went
into service during World War II
and kept his insurance about $1.25
q month for $4,000 Of term in
surance coverage.
The reason the price is so low
compared to commercial insur-
ance Is primarily because the tax
payer is paying the administrative
and other overhead costs.

Assault on Controls
To Start Tomorrow as
Senate Hearings BegiI
By Froneis ?. DoueIus

sSs'SAS 0SOShSS
Assaults on various parts Of the
Defense Production Act with it's
provisions for wage, price and
other economic controls are
scheduled to get under way to-
morrow.
Sixty-four national organiza-
tiohs are on the list to be heard
BY the Senate Banking Commit
tee. Hearings will run through
March 10. The House Banking
Committee is scheduled to begin
its hearings on March "a.
Opposition Seen.
While some Of the witnesses no
doubt will support the present
measure. or even urge that 1t be
strengthened, 1t Is expected that
most of the witnesses will ask for
elimination or relaxation Of those
parts Of the measure which affect
their businesses.
What viii be accomplished Is
problematical. The best Judgment
now is that the act will be re-
newed for one year. instead Of
two years as President Truman
has asked. and that it will be
virtually unchanged. This would
mean that the amendments
adopted last summer would be
continued despite administration
contentious they are hampering.

Scheduled to testify tomorrow
are representatives Of the Ma
tional Creameries Association,
Dairy Industry Committee, Ma
tional Milk Producers Association,

Bumper Harvest With Giant
Corn Crop Forecast In U. S.

WASHINGTON P,-A bumper
harvest, featuring a corn crop ex-
ceeded only once, is forecast for
this year.
In its first estimate of the year,
the Agriculture Department re-
Gently forecast corn production of
1855, ,089,0 bushels, only a little
short of the governments goal of
$685. 100000 bushels.
Corn is the~No. l factor in as
suring high level production of
meats, dairy and poultry products.
Only in 1912, the banner produc-
ton year, was more corn pro-
duced than is forecast for 1852.
Last year production was 2,941,-
423,00O bushels and the 10-year
1941-50 average is 3,011, ,652, 900
bushels.
A wheat crop of 1,249,019,0OO
buhels is in prospect. In only two
previous years-1947 and 1913
has more been produced.
The index for measuring all
crops produced is indicated at
about 1872 per cent of the 1923-32
average. This is higher than in any
past year except 1948 when it
reached 1854 per cent.
The acreage to be harvested is
only a little above last year but
high yields of several of the major
crops is indicated.
In addition to wheat and corn,
the soybean crop is expected to
be near record size, and rice ap-
pears headed for a record.
A larger potato acreage than
last year and nearly the same yield
per acre will provide slightly
larger supply, although still near
ly a fifth below average. A larger
sweet potato crop also is in pros
pect.
The forecast is for 339, ,048, ,00C
bushels of potatoes compared with
325, ,7O8,0 bushels last year - q
year in which housewives at times
found the lowly "spud" hard to
find at the grocery store.

Gray's Record
Best In Senate

A 9S,99eo voting record, best In
the Ohio Senate, was achieved by
State Senator, Theodore M. Gray,
Piqua, according to a release made
today by Research Director, John
A. Skipton, from Republican Head
quarters in Columbus.
Considering the important con-
ference committees which Gray
served on in the final days of the
99th Ohio General Assembly,
which official duties kept him from
the floor on occasion, Grays rec
ord is mighty nigh perfect" ac-
cording to seasoned political obser-
vers at the State Capitol.
Out of 612 roll calls, Gray was
present and voting on 597, stated
Researcher Skipton, who added:
This is a record which speaks
well for your interest and atten-
ton to your duties as a representa-
tive OF the people or the llth and
18th Senatorial Districts. Add to
this fact your grasp of legislative
affairs and intelligent handling of
committee assignments and we be-
lieve you have proven yourself a
star Senator who merits re-elec-
tion."

this county as a part of the 11th-
