AMVETSHit
Pension Bill,
UrgeItsDefeot

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va.
June IL (SpeciaD A resolution
urging defeat of pending veter-
ans bonus legislation and criti-
cizing the American Legion for
supporting it has been adopted
by the tri-State convention of
the American Veterans of World
War II meeting here.
The tri-State meeting includes
ANVETs from Washington,
Maryland and Virginia.
The resolution. adopted at
Saturdays session, criticizes
pension provisions in an omnibus
bill reported favorably by the
House Veterans Affairs COM
mittee on Friday.
According to the AMVET res
olution, the pension program
would cost approximately Sis
million in the first year and
ultimately would cost more than
500 billion.
The bill would provide pen
SionS of $106 per month for all
veterans at the age of IS. sub
ject to certain income limita-
tionS.
The resolution charges that
this nonessential program"
would "endanger the entire
existing benefit structure"
It states that the pension pro-
gram was put in the bill for
publicity and propaganda pur-
poses" and declares that seer
tain undue political pressure
has been brought to bear by
some of the so-called leadership
of the American Legion in an
effort to secure membership for
their organization at the ex-
pense of wrecking the present
sound veterans benefit program"
The AMvETs urge return of
the bill to committee for dele
ton of the pension program
and Of veto of the bill by the
President if it gets that far.

Tax Relief For Farmers

The House passed its first farm
measure of the session this week
as it voted to refund the Federal
highway tax on gasoline for
farmers who use that gasoline
for strictly agricultural purposes.
The legislation is similar to that
which / introduced shortly after
the beginning of this session and
provides for a tax relief of sixty
million dollars to the farmers of
the country.
AS passed by the House, the
bill contains safeguards to pre-
vent abuse of the exemption. The
tax is paid when the gasoline is
purchased and upon application
once each year, refund may be
obtained on that portion of the
fuel used in farming. Severe pen
alties are set forth for false state
ments in the refund applications.
The legislation representing the
first portion of the Presidents
farm program to receive Con-
gressional attention has now
gone to the Senate where it
should receive prompt considera-
ton.
