"Your activities here are a military necessity, men." SAFETY VALVEThe Readers Write: Tec/5 Asks 'Just What Is This Military Necessity?' Dear Safety Valve; So redeployment by points is over and the homeward shipment of additional men will be based on "military necessity." Just what is this "military necessity"? Are 10-day Riviera furloughs and ski schools at Alpe d'Huez and 7-day passes to Paris and 8-week courses at Biarritz a "military necessity"? Are three-day Christmas and New Year holidays for everybody and two-hour workdays for countless Joes in every type of job throughout the ETO and schools in Switzerland or the UK a matter of "military necessity"? How about the practice of permitting "paper transfers" out of outfits that have been ordered to cut down, with the same men remaining on the same jobs, but on a part-time basis from their new outfit? Does that come within the meaning of "military necessity"? According to the War Department, some 360,000 men must remain in the ETO as the "cleanup" force, to take care of the work entailed in "closing out" installations that have completed their missions. If there is work to be done, why doesn’t someone get started on it? Has the Army become nothing more than a means of extending the WPA internationally? The pay and the methods are about the same. The chief differences are that the "workers" can't resign and are forced to perform their work thousands of miles from their families, somewhat like the Nazi slave laborers we came over here to liberate. Granted that there is work to do over here, how about getting started on it? Plenty of men would cheerfully work an eight-hour

Granted that there is work to do over here, how about getting started on it? Plenty of men would cheerfully work an eight-hour day seven days a week, passing up all these elaborate furlough and school deals, if the whole task was planned and managed on an efficient, honest, practical basis that would enable them to go home in a matter of weeks rather than months. —T/5 W. F. M., Marseille Dear Safety Valve; I think that General McNarney’s statement last week on redeployment is one of the best statements to come from the Army since the war ended. The Army has finally and definitely committed itself. According to the General’s statement, there are 616,000 men left in the ETO. He said 50,000 men per month would leave for the States. He added that about 25,000 more probably would leave each month as replacements arrive to take over their jobs. That means that by July 1st, 450,000 of the men here now will be home. Only 166,000 will be left. To men who have any time in the Army at all, this statement guarantees their return home by July.—A T/5. Cannes Casino Returns to French CANNES—The luxurious Palm Beach Casino Club where more than 18,000 officers and guests reveled in a million-dollar atmosphere during their stay at the Officers’ Club has been returned

Cannes Casino Returns to French CANNES—The luxurious Palm Beach Casino Club where more than 18,000 officers and guests reveled in a million-dollar atmosphere during their stay at the Officers’ Club has been returned to French authorities last week. The strawberry-pink building which boasts the largest bar and gambling hall in France included among its guests the Generals Eisenhower, Bradley, and Lee, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The club, which had been used by the Army since August, will be opened to its civilian clientele next summer.

What Every Veteran Should Know About Life in a Glen Plaid Suit From Camp Newspaper Service. When Joe Dough walked off the reservation at the separation center at Camp Crook, Nebraska, he had an honorable discharge in his hand, a discharge emblem sewn on the outside of his blouse. $50 bucks in cash in his pocket and a check for $225 (including back pay, muster out pay, and soldier savings) in his wallet. He was out of the Army. The world was his oyster. He felt good. What Joe didn't dig until he was half way home was the fact that although he was out of the Army, he remained knee-deep in chicken. He discovered he couldn't shake off military life as soon as he had hoped. In the first place, Joe found he must report within 10 days of his discharge to his selective service board. Here he received a new draft classification as well as advice and assistance on employment opportunities in his neighborhood. Next, Joe learned to his woe that he was over his head in paperwork. In applying for veteran benefits, he discovered, he had to have handy his serial number, discharge papers, pension "O" number, draft classification, GI Insurance policies, social security card, birth certificate, and marriage certificate. Without these, he's lost. Finally, Joe discovered that there's a lot about the Army and the aid it gives veterans that he had never heard about. For instance: Muster-Out

Without these, he's lost. Finally, Joe discovered that there's a lot about the Army and the aid it gives veterans that he had never heard about. For instance: Muster-Out Pay. If a vet leaves the armed services with an honorable discharge, he will be handed $100 muster-out pay. He receives an additional $100 a month later if he had been in the service over 60 days. Vets who have served overseas or in Alaska receive a third $100 the following month. All servicemen are entitled to 5 cents a mile for transportation from the place of discharge to the place of their enlistment, and to save enlisted men from embarrassment, they're given uniforms, socks, shoes, and underclothes to wear home. A service emblem completes the dischargee's outfit. Insurance. Former servicemen who want to keep their National Service Life Insurance policies should check through their discharge papers to find out when the next premium is due, and before that date send a check or money order to Collections Sub-division, Veterans Administration, Washington, DC, and make it payable to the Treasurer of the United States. Vets wishing to reduce the amount of their insurance should write the VA to that effect. However, the amount of insurance must be a multiple of $500, and the minimum is $1000. Since National Service Life Insurance is presently limited to an 8-year term, a policyholder

Vets wishing to reduce the amount of their insurance should write the VA to that effect. However, the amount of insurance must be a multiple of $500, and the minimum is $1000. Since National Service Life Insurance is presently limited to an 8-year term, a policyholder may want to convert before that period expires to government ordinary life, 20-payment Life, or 30-payment life. This can be done by filling out VA Form 1535. The new policy will have a cash value after a year and vets may borrow on it if necessary, but conversion will sharply increase premium costs. All persons who arranged to postpone payments on private insurance when they entered the service must bring their payments up-to-date within 2 years after discharge. If they wish to continue the insurance, if in a position to do so, ex-servicemen may want to keep both NSLI and private insurance. Education. Want to make a few post-war improvements on your mental faculties? One of the best features in the GI Bill of Rights is its educational provisions; vets who have been in active duty for 90 days or more, regardless of their age at time of enlistment, are eligible for a year in the classroom, or its part-time equivalent, all expenses paid. The VA pays tuition, fees, cost of supplies, and books up to $500 a school year, and $65 monthly living expenses for an unmarried person. A wife, husband, or other dependent rates an additional $25.

The same set-up is available to vets who want to learn a trade. If that desire for knowledge still continues after the first year, students can pore over the life of Beethoven or analyze the types of sanitary plumbing for an additional period up to 3 years, dependent upon the number of years in service. Prospective students must meet the academic requirements of the school decided upon. The school must also be accredited. But that still leaves a wide-open field of public or private elementary or secondary schools, business schools, scientific and technical institutions, vocational and professional schools, junior colleges, normal schools and teachers colleges, and conventional colleges and universities. Some will give credit for certain types of military experience as well as Army correspondence courses, which should please school-bound GIs. Disabled vets unable to work at their old jobs because of a service-connected disability are almost sure to be eligible for the Vocational Rehabilitation program. To be eligible, a person must have an honorable discharge, and must be entitled to a pension. He can go to school for four years without even paying for transportation to and from school, and will receive a pension of $92 a month if single,

Loans Under the GI Bill of Rights, an ex-service-man can’t get a loan directly from the government. The government, however, will guarantee payment of a loan up to $4,000 on real estate, and $2,000 for other loans. The loan may be made by any bank, corporation, firm or individual, and may be used for a house, farm or business, subject to the approval of the Administration. VA loan guarantees may also be used in connection with borrowing money through one of the government lending agencies. Loans guaranteed by the Administration bear interest of not more than 4% a year and must be repaid within 40 years on farms, and 25 years on homes. Interest on the part guaranteed by the VA will be paid by the government for the first year. Application for this benefit—open to veterans with at least 90 days active duty or with a service-connected disability—must be made within two years after discharge from the service or two years after the end of the war, whichever is later, but in no event more than five years after the end of the war.

Veterans, under a recent amendment, may also obtain loans to buy livestock and machinery on farms and tools for business. Debts, Legal Matters The Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act protects servicemen with respect to lawsuits and contracts, foreclosures and repossession, seizure and family eviction, Mustering-out pay, death gratuities, or insurance payments cannot be claimed by creditors or attached by the court. Although most lawsuits against servicemen are postponed until six months after their discharge, if a judgment was rendered against a serviceman while he was in service, he can reopen the case anytime within 96 days after leaving the service, provided he can show that his absence hurt his case. Vets have six months in which to apply to the court to postpone payment of debts, and must show that their time in service has seriously interfered with their ability to pay. Your Old Job A vet who wants to plunge back into the old grind can have his pre-war job back, provided (1) he has an honorable discharge, (2) the job was not a temporary one, (3) he is still qualified for the job and is not now physically handicapped, and (4) the employer's situation has not changed
