Veterans Administration is taking action to put the provisions of a new law, the Survivor Benefits Act, into effect. The new law signed by the President on August 1, revises benefits for dependents of deceased servicemen and veterans who died of service-connected causes.
 The act specifics that payments under the new law cannot begin prior to January l, 1857, but VA already has the computations start ed to be effective at that time.
 VA stressed that this law does NOT change death pension bene- fits to widows and children of vet erans whose deaths were not as a result of war service.
 Widows, dependent parents and guardians or orphan children re- eeiving compensation for service connected death of a veteran are requested NOT to contact VA for 1illOIIIidtiOll.

oylor Disogrees
With Ridqwuy

NEW YORK, Jan. % (P).-
Army Chief of Staff Gen. Max
well B. Taylor seems to disagree
with his predecessors judgment
that the armed forces had been
slashed below the danger point
because of political pressure to
reduce the budget.
Gen. Taylor was asked to
comment on articles by Gen,
Matthew B. Ridgway in which
the former chief of staff
said he was pressured to disre-
gard his own military judgment
and cut armed forces drastically.
Every chief Of staff is neces-
sarily a sort of vigilante," Gen.
Taylor said. Il think the Amer
lean people are too aware of our
commitments abroad to allow us
to go below the danger point.
No chief of staff will say he has
enough EARNED forces strength
but l will say I have confidence
in the Army"
Gen. Taylor then added, 81
think we have the strongest
army that I know of in peace
time"
Gen. Taylor gave these views
in a question period after a
speech to the Overseas Press
Club. In the talk. Gen. Taylor
said it would be a tragic mistake
to assume that any future war
would be over in a few days.

u. NJ. and Israel

The United Nations, by rep
rimanding Israel. is proceed
ing along the road of self
destruction, strangely remi-
niscent Of the League OF
Nations.
The League kowtowed to
Mussolini, Hitler ct al, and
forsook justice for expediency,
thereby digging its own grave
and bringing about World
War II.
The U. N. now kowtows to
Arab dictatorS and Soviet
power politics. The repri-
mand given Israel Is a travesty
on justice, for it should have
been laid at the doorstep OF
the criminals who killed near
ly 900 Israelis during the So
called "armistice."
Too bad the U. N. hasn't
spent as much time and effort
to bring a just peace to the
Middle East as it has in con-
demning Israel.
1t 0iSn't too late for the
United States to reconsider
its Middle East policy and
offer arms and a security pact
to Israel. This would do much
to restore faith in the U. N.

Denied byGM

General Motors Corp. has de-
MED Federal Trade Commission
charges that it had misused the
term genuine" in the sale of
Chevrolet replacement parts.
The commission had charged
the corporation with falsely ad-
Ivertising that genuine Chevro-
let replacement parts are better
than parts competitors sell with
out the genuine" label.
GIN said in its reply yesterday
that all parts described as gen
uine Chevrolet parts" fall into
one Of three categories: % They
are designed and manufactured
by General Motors: 90 they are
designed by General Motors and
manufactured for it, or 90 they
are parts approved by GINS en-
Igineering staff.
The commission said that GIN
does not deny that other replace
ment parts sold for Chevrolets
may function efficiently" but
maintains there are manufac-
Iturers whose parts, referred to
as counterfeit" or "gyp' parts,
may not perform satisfactorily
when installed in a Chevrolet.
GIN said 1t is 'in the public
Interest to permit the consumer
to identify the genuine from q

quality of the copy. 1t is not
in the public interest to permit
one competitor to palm of his

Transit Mess

It's about time the Commits
sioners admit that the han
ding of this transit mess leaves
much to be desired. So far they
have done nothing except to
take away the Capital Tran
sit franchise. After months Of
looking for private investors.
they finally announced a plan
to borrow $40 million from the
Federal Treasury and to pay
1t back from revenue bond
sales. What kills me is that we
already have a transit system
without having to get a loan
from anyone or making Dis
trict of Columbia residents
worry about paying more taxes
for new system If their plans
fail.
We have a good transit sys-
tenn. Fares and wages are in
line with other transit COM
panies in other cities. The idea
of ripping up streetcar tracks
and condemning Capital Tran
sit properties. streetcars and
buses is absurd.
I predict Capital Transit will
still be running after August
and for a good many years
without q franchise.

The court decided otherwise
and accused Matusow Of "de-
liberately. designedly and ma.
liciously obstructing justice" in
order to push sales of his book.
Matusow Immediately was
cited for contempt and after a
brief hearing drew a three-year
sentence. Jencks was denied
new trial.
The appeals court, without
upSetting the Jencks verdict, de-
cided that Matusow had not
received full protection of the
Bill of Rights in that he was
not confronted with witnesses

the opportunity to cross exam

ing.

that only supposedly educated

Actually, any and every moron
living in Montgomery County
has the doubtful privilege Of
paying county taxes.

dications of becoming a better
school system, so that in a
few years it might possibly
merit Taxpayers" descrip-

Although the board is at
least 10 years too late in
doing its duty. there may still
be some hope for Montgomery

eliminate several hundred
more un-American textbooks

valuable information TO submit.
Attending the meeting beside

told of alleged improper activi-

committee. Gen. Mara said he
absolutely" believed the mate

arm Belt Goinq
For Soil Bank,
Aiken Reports
BY JOSEPH A. FOX

The soil-bank plan to which
the new administration agricul-
Iture program is keyed is finding
increasing favor in the farm
belt.
This was the key word today
as the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee pushed ahead with the
legislation which it now hopes
to have ready for Senate con-
Isideration by February 6.
The soil-bank plan involves
both an acreage cutback on
major crops and a land-con-
servation program, and is de-
signed to halt the pile-up of
farm commodity SURPRISES which
are blamed for depressed prices.
Aiken Notes Talk
Farmers would be paid for
coming into the program. Sen
ator Aiken Of Vermont, ranking
Republican on the committee.
says that 1.-The more hear from
around the country, the more

big farmer-participation in the
plan"
Sponsors have insisted that
only widespread participation
would assure success of the prof.
ect. which is aimed primarily at
cutting production of wheat, cot
ton, corn and rice, while the
Government tries to get rid of
the vast stores of these COM
modities to which it has fallen
heir under current farm legisla-
ton.
Staff members Of the Senate
Agriculture Committee and rem
resentatives of the Agriculture
department are working over
the week end on the tentative
draft of the new legislation.
which is expected to be ready for
consideration when the commit
tee next meets Tuesday after
noon. With this working pa
per" in hand it is hoped to start
an item-by-item vote Thursday
TO get the measure into final
form.
Details to Be Worked Out
Beyond a general agreement
on the soil-bank principle the
committee has reached no hard
and-fast conclusions in the new
bill.
| There still are many details 70
be worked out. and the explosive
issue OF parity prices must be
resolved. But whatever is done
IN this area will be designed to
swell the farm pocketbook. Par
ity is the balancing factor be-
tween farm income and produc-
ton COSTS
Senator Ellender, Democrat of
Louisiana. the committee chair
man. said there are definitely
enough votes to return to the
high, rigid support prices which
were Supplanted by lower-level
compensation in the 1854 Re-
publican farm bill.
1t seems likely that the COM
mittee will vote for the high
level across the board. so far as
the basic crops are concerned

worked cut for applying the tor
