. NEW LAW TO PROTECTS
VETS DISABILITY RATES

Veterans who have been rated to-
tally disabled for compensation,
pension or insurance purposes for at
least 20 years are not subject to re-
duced ratings under provisions of a
new law, the Veterans Administra-
ton has announced.
Public Law 81, approved by the
President on March IT, 1854, ends
future physical examinations of We
terans who have been rated totally
disabled or permanently and total
ly disabled for more than 20 years.
Previously, veterans who had total
disability ratings based on disabili-
ties other than blindness or anato-
mical losses could be re-examined
with a possibility that their ratings
might be reduced
This new law assures veterans af-
fected, who have been rated totally
disabled for 20 years or more, that
they will not be deprived of benefits
in their old age after they have

However, the new law prevents
the reduction of ratings for physical
reasons only. Veterans receiving
pensions for permanent and total

are still subject to income limita-
lions of $1,400, without dependents,
and $4,000, with dependents, even
though their ratings have been in
effect for 20 years or more

Strict Blue Law Enforcement
Could Alter Sunday Customs

in the past the laws we're a little
too rigid and like Montgomery
have had them amended.
Movies Restricted.
A Montgomery resident, for
example, can enjoy a game of
golf or tennis or play a round
Of croquet but only between the
hours of 2 and 6 pm.
The law also permits residents
to attend movies after 2 pm.
In some counties a movie
house is permitted to open be-
tween l and 6 pm. but must
remain closed in the early eve
ming while Christian endeavor
and church services are being
held. Then they may reopen
at 9 pm. for a late show.
AS a matter of fact. according
to Assistant Montgomery States
Attorney j. Hodge Smith, a Bal
timore professor who had been
painting his window sill on Sun
day was convicted of the Blue
Law violation several years ago
when a neighbor reported him
to police.
Enforcement Is Problem.
In Aberdeen, in Hartford
County, the law permits theaters
to open at l pm, but does not
allow any child under IL years
of age to attend them unless
accompanied by an adult men,
ber of the family.
Rigid enforcement by the po-
lice of even the Blue Laws ap-
plying to the closing of business
hours on Sunday is going to
make the States attorneys office
exceedingly unpopular, Mr.
Smith said.
