VETERANS NEWS

More than 100000 disabled
veterans will get higher COM
pension checks for service con-
nected disabilities, starting with
checks mailed out at the end
of October, 1887, Veterans Adj
minstration said today.
Public Law 85-168, sogned by
the President today, authorizes
the increased payments, VA
said.
Veterans already in VAS COM
penSation rolls need take no
action to get the raise, VA en-
phasized. It will be paid auto
matically.
Also increased will be the
special allowances for depen-
dents paid veterans whose ser
vice-connected disabilities are
rated at so per cent or more.
With few exceptions, the in
crease will be approximately 10
per cent across the board, ex-
cept for totally disabled veter-
ans rated at 100 per cent, whose
boost from $181 to $225 per
month amounts to 24.3 per cept.
Unchanged are three Statu-
tory rates, two of them at SAT
each, involving the anatomical
loss, or loss of use, of one part
of the body. and the third, at
SGT as the minimum rate for
arrested tuberculosis. These
rates may be poyoble in addi-
ton to the percentage ratings
for service connected disabil-
tiles.
Compensation rates pawable
to veterans whose service con-
\ nected disabilities were suffer-
ed during peaeetime service un-
der non-extra hazardous condi-
tions are 80 per cent of the new
wartime rates. Peacetime ser
vice disabilities suffered under
extra hazardous conditions may
be payable at the wartime

Not affected by the increase
are the compensation rates paid
survivors of veterans whose
deaths were service connected,
nor pensions paid wartime vet
rem for non service connected

In effect, the department has
washed its hands of the \Situa-

Americans actually go on the
trip. the circumstances of their
travel. and the like.
The United States Embassy
in Moscow. 1t was said here,
has not been instructed to
threaten the Americans with
any kind of legal action or
penalty. In fact, the embassy
apparently has not been in
structed to interpose any OBJ
lection unless one or another
of the youths seeks embassy
guidance. In such cases they
are told that travel to Red
China is against the United
States Governments policy.
U. S. Policy Is to Isolate
The issue is part of the Far
Eastern sector of the cold war
between the Communist bloc
and the United States. Ameri-
can policy is to maintain maxi
mum isolation of Red China
from the free nations.
The United States maintains
a total embargo on trade. travel
and cultural contact as well as
a ban against diplomatic recog-
milton. The only potential re-
Taxation in this policy has been
a series of steps by Secretary
If State Dulles in recent months
toward permitting a group of
American newsmen to go into
Communist China--if he can
keep the group small. He has
almost completed a survey of
American newspapers, news
agencies and similar groups to
determine how many would as
sign reporters to the Chinese
mainland If the bars were
dropped. He hopes to make a
decision in q few weeks.

Ambassador Gives Warning
Four representatives of the
group met today with United
States Ambassador Llewellyn
Thompson. who outlined the
possible action the United
States Government could take
against the group.
Mr.. Thompson told them
these four things could happen:
l. Their passports might not
be renewed when they expire.
2. At the very next opportu-
nifty. their passports might be
stamped valid only Tor return
to the United States"
3. They could be fined as
much as $4,000 each for mis-
use of a passport.
4. They could face charges
under the trading with the
enemy act.
The group includes a lawyer,
preacher. photographers, free
lance writer's. young business
men and students. The Chinese
government is paying the full
expenses Of IS of them. The
others have been asked to pay
a 500 token fee plus their ex.

Red China has caught the
United States in a clever and
embarrassing propaganda trap
by inviting American youths
now in Moscow to visit Pei
ping.
Authorities privately con-
coded yesterday that the ma
neuver has had these effects:
| l. Presenting Communist
China to the world as a coun-
try favoring visits by foreign
ers and particularly Americans.
2. Implying that the United
States is following unduly re-
strictite and even repressive
policies toward its citizens in
trying to curb their travel to
Red China.
8. Showing up United States
inability to make its travel
policy effective in all cases by
Offering direct inducements to
a large number of Americans
to defy it.
Policy Questions Raised
In addition the Reds threaten
to raise some difficult legal and
policy questions for the State
Department which in the long
run could have a far-reaching
effect on its passport control
policies.
Moscow dispatches say that
about 40 Americans attending
the International Youth Festi-
val there will make a three
week trip to Red China, leav-
ing for Peiping shortly after
the festival ends tomorrow.
State Department authorities
have indicated that they are
virtually helpless to block the
move although they consider it
to be in violation of department
restrictions against travel by
American citizens to Red China.
