Over 13 500 of the 262, $40 vet
Grams with service connected
disabilities who have been re-
viewing additional compensation
allowances for their wives and
children have had their pay
mentS increased as result of a
family status survey, Veterans
Administrations said today.
Additional payments because
of dependents are authorized by
law for veterans whose service
connected disabilities are rated
at SO percent or more, VA said.
Conducted by QUESTIONABLE,
the survey covered all veterans
receiving allowances for wives
and children based on a depen-
dency status established with
VA before September 1, 1855.
Of the 262,34O veterans con-
cerned in the survey, 91.5 per-
cent (240,12D had no change
in payments, and SO percent
(13,576) were found to be en-
titled to higher allowances for
an increased number of depend
entS, VA said.
A total Of 8,642 veterans (3.3
percent) had their allowances
lowered as a result of the survey.
Of these 5,957 (69 percent) were
reduced because Of the veterans
failure to supply the requested
information. If found eligible,
VA said, these veterans may have
their allowances restored to the
proper level by furnishing the
required data.
There were 2,685 reductions of
allowance because Of reduced
number of dependents.
One case is still pending.
The previously announced fig
ure of 3O5,OOO veterans to be
surveyed included all veterans
receiving allowances for depend
ents. Not sent questionaires were
more than $4,000 veterans who
were receiving allowances for
dependent parents or whose
family status was established on
or after September 1, 1855

SENATOR KENNEDY
TOPAZ FOR PARKING
NEAR FIRE HYDRANT

Senator and Mrs. Kennedy
went to the movies Satur-
day night. The entertain.
ment was a little expensive.
When the Massachusetts
Democrat and his wife
came out of the theater,
they found a traffic ticket
on their auto. The ticket
was a citation for parking
too close to a fire hydrant
near Brentano's Book Store
at 1922 F street NV.
Firemen, called to put out
a minor fire beneath a CRATE
at the front of the store,
had complained to police
that they had to drape hose
over the car to fight the
fire.
The Senator said his
brother, Theodore, had been
driving the auto and had
left it parked on F street
for their use after the movie.
Senator Kennedy indicated
he would be happy to pay
the IS fine.

lot of work" remains to be done
to carry through the indignation
program to a successful conclu-

/ But he told reporters he is

way the school reorganization
has gone to date.

about the recently published re-
port of the Davis subcommittee

Puzzled by Intentions
The school superintendent.

Davis findings last Friday. in
Dictated school officials were in
some doubt about the exact in
tentions of some of the recon-
mendations made by the Davis
group.
He mentioned specifically a
proposal to create a special
school for chronic delinquents. "
Such a project, he said, would
fall outside the domain of the
school system, because delin-
quents legally come under the
jurisdiction of the Welfare De.
partment and Juvenile Court.
School officials also were puz-
zled by a recommendation for
converting the District Teachers
College to a two-year junior COL
lege, he said. The superintend-
ent said he would be opposed to
such a move.
Offers No Apologies
Dr.. Corning said he had no
apology to make for the way the
school system has proceeded
with indignation.
This is the biggest reorgani-
cation any school system ever
went through" he said. adding
The fact that these problems
exist is not an indication of fail
ure."
The superintendent, who re-
turned this morning from a week
end at Rehoboth, Del, said he
was surprised to find some per-
sons there under the impression
Congress had restored segrega-

He noted that the Davis sub

out it would have to be APP

In Civil Cases

A top-level GROUP CT lo~o' "
perts believes civil cases should

Three times as fast as cases are
now reaching trial before a jury
in District Courts here.
In it's first report. the Execu-

Generals Conference on Court
Congestion and Delay in Litiga-
ton says:
I'VE recommend as a guide
in determining whether tria
court calendars are current, that
delay in the final disposition OF
the average civil case beyond sis
months after the action is COM
menced should be considered ex-
cessive."
As of the end of last year
civil cases were coming TO trial
here before a jury % months
after being put on the calendar,
The court does not keep a rec
ord of how much time elapses
between the time a suit is filed
and is put on the calendar, but
delays-mostly by the attorneys
involved-can amount to as
much as six to eight months.
2 Years for Divorce
In District Court here, non
jury cases which can be pre-
tried. were taking 20 months to
reach a judge; contested divorce
cases were taking "a months
and uncontested divorce cases
seven months. as of the end OF
the year.
The Attorney Generals group
in a report made public today
believes that if an appeal is
taken, the case should be argued
and decided within six months
after the lower court decision.
In the United States Court OF
Appeals here. an average of l.a
months elapses from the time
the notice of appeal is filed UNI
til the complete record is filed
in the upper court. From filing
of the record to disposition takes
another 10 months.
