A vast monetary difference be-
tween benefits for wartime and
peacetime veterans and their de-
pendents since the founding of
this country was illustrated today
by the Veterans Administration.
From the Revolutionary War TO
date, beneficiaries of wartime ser
vice have received $81.7 billion
in benefits and miscellaneous
costs, while peacetime veterans
and their dependents have receiv-
ed only 81 billion.
VA said the cost difference re-
suits from the fact that wartime
veterans have far out-numbered
peacetime veterans and the latter
are eligible for fewer benefits at
generally less money value.
For example, VA said, peace
time veterans without service
connected disabilities are not en-
titled to disqualification or DOM
iciliary care, as are wartime vet
Grams, nor are they entitled to
nonservice-connected pensions.
Peacetime veterans injured In
service are not entitled to voca-
rehabilitation at govern
ment expense and If injured in
service under non-hazardous con-
ditions, they receive only 80 per
cent of the wartime rates for the
same disabilities.
Peacetime veterans have no en-
in the field of readjust-
ment benefits, such as those pro-
vided by the CT Bills.
The ST billion total payment
from appropriated funds In behalf
Of peacetime veterans and their
dependents since the Revolution
compares with the following ex-
penditures for wartime veterans
and their dependents:
Korea conflict, $2.6 billion.
World War II, $46.2 billion.
World War I, $40 billion.
Spanish-American War, 81 bill
lion.
All other wars, $50 billion.

Council News

Budget, budget, who's got the
money? That's the question your
city council has been asking this
past month. With meetings held
the End, 18th, and the 25th of
July and with more meetings TO
be held on the 9th, 9th, 18th and
goth of August your council has
a full schedule.
At our last meeting held July
rs a preliminary budget was
adopted which came to 40 mills.
This is n half a mill higher
than last year but when one
stops to think that we have a
new fire hall which the taxpay-
ers were told would cost them 2
mills more, then you can see the
excellent job this council Is do
Ing in holding the line.
The city hall is going to re-
ceive a coat of paint along with
a few changes on the inside.
Where the fire trucks use to be
stored we r going to change
that over SO we will have the
police station and police judges
chambers up front SO to speak.
Have you noticed how bright
the traffic lights are of late? A
new style lamp has been put into
operation which / am sure will
be of a benefit to all.
Don't forget that the west side
of town is supposed to water
their lawns on odd days and
those on the east on even days.
Sundays are no exception to the
rule. This ruling is due not to a
water shortage but to the
fact that the four pumps we have
cannot pump any more than they
have been. Over a million gallons
of water q day are being used.

Club Opens Drive
For School Stadium

An effort to obtain a stadium
or athletic field with seating
for the Bethesda Chevy Chase
High School has been initiated as
a club project by the Bethesda
Chevy Chase Exchange Club.
The organization hopes to win
public backing for a budget plea
for $4,000 expected to be made
for next year by DR.. Forbes H.
Norris, county school superin-
tendent.
In letter announcing the
project, r. L. Hoddinott, club
president, noted that the school
had a championship football
team this year and a band which
won many honors, but said it
was impossible for parents and
friends to see them in action for
lack of stadium or athletic
field.
He pointed out that DR.. Norris
previously had asked for a SINH
lar amount for providing seats
at one of the county schools, but
the amount was eliminated. He
urged the public to write the
superintendent at Rockville urg-
ing that the money be provided
by the County Council in next
years budget.

clared:
This year, I'm buying no pig
in poke, Four years ago did
that. I supported Tom Stanley
a man I did not know who ran
on a nice innocuous sound fiscal
policy program ;"
Mr.. Webb went on to say that
in 1857 he hopes to support a
governor with a more specific
platform. After listing a number
of. planks which he favors-in-
Guiding continuous operation Of
the public schools and repeal OF
the poll tax-Mr. Webb said:
Il don't know if any candidate
will be for all of these things
or for any of them.
"All / can do is hope so-and
hope, too, that he will be a
Democrat"
In answer to a question, Mr.,
Webb said his choice for Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor
is, in either order on the ticket,
State Senators Armistead L.
Boothe of Alexandria and Stuart
B Carter of Fincastle.
Senator Boothe, who also
spoke at the meeting, said later
that he is not a candidate for
the 1857 gubernatorial contest.

Montgomery Churches
Hit Liquor Law Change

Mr.. Brasington lampooned
claims by proponents of the
liquor law relaxation that there
would be revenue gains for the
county. He said the increased
cost of crime, through alcoholism
far outstripped revenues gained
from liquor sales.
I'VE don't want that kind OF
revenue" James Shelton, chair
man Of the Social Action Com
mittee of the Silver Spring Con-
gregational Church, said.
Bethesda Council Of Churches
said the council was "unalter-
ably opposed to any change in
the law"
Mrs. Bryna Kulla Of 9103 East
Park Hill drive. Bethesda, said
relaxing of liquor laws would
lead to Flower living standards
and property values"
There is no such thing as a
little relaxation Of the law" she
said.
| Much Of the opposition last
night was to the sale of whisky
itself. Several Baptist ministers
and members of the Seventh
Day Adventist Church said they
were opposed to liquor and its
sale and that some of their
churches required prospective
members to sign a covenant
agreeing to refuse to sell or use
Intoxicating beverages.

IRF&P to End
Two Trains
To Richmond

RICHMOND, Dec. s [R.-The
State Corporation Commission
today granted the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad Co. permission to dis
continue two daily commuter
trains between here and Wash
ington.
In its order, the sec said the
trains have practically no pas
Isenger business between Rich
mond and Fredericksburg and
nov actually serve the area inn
mediately south Of Washington,
which area to some extent is also
served by motor Buses"
The sec said the Continued
operation of the trains Is not
justified by their use or possible
use in the future" The railroad
was given authority to discon-
tinue them on January IS. 1857.
Considerable opposition--pri-
marily from Washington-area
commuters-cropped up at the
mid-November hearings on the
RF&P application.
The opposition contended the
railroad exerted no particular eff
fort to make the commuter
trains attractive by running
them on time and advertising
them properly.
