CHAPMAN’S BRYAN Next to the Postoffice Phone 2-1318 A VC Urges Raise In Vet Allowance Chat Paterson, national legis lative representative of the A- merican Veterans Committee (A VC), urged that subsistence all owances for student-veterans be increased to $100, for single veter ans and $125, for married veter ans in testimony today before the Education Subcommittee of the House Veterans Affairs C o m- mittee. Citing twenty-four surveys made by A VC chapters at colleges and universities, Paterson said that the average “basic living expenses” of student-veterans were $104, for single veterans and $152, for married veterans. “Un less subsistence benefits are rais ed in the very near future the average veteran—the veteran whom the GI Bill proposed to aid —will be forced to abandon all ef fort to take advantage of the ed ucational provisions of the GI Bill of Rights,” he said. “The A VC does not ask and we do not believe that any student- veteran is asking Congress to pay his entire cost of living while at tending college,” he asserted. “The veteran, far from expecting to live in luxury on his subsistence allot ment, is prepared to carry on part- time work to aid in meeting his expenses. But the cruel fact to day is that thousands of veterans are withdrawing from colleges be cause they simply cannot make ends meet on the present allot ments even with part-time work.” Paterson maintained that the increase in the present allowances of $65, and $90, was justified by the increase in the cost of living. “If we intend to make the GI Bill work we must continue to provide subsistence covering basic living expenses as was intended in the original bill,” he said.

VA Seeks Ratings For Disabled Vets By Case Reviews The Veterans Administration has reviewed more than a third of its disability compensation cases in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi in the Congression- ally-authorized program to es tablish more accurate ratings for disabled veterans, VA reported this week. Of the 207,000 compensation and pension cases in VA’s Dallas Branch Area subject to review un der the new disability rating schedule approved by the last Con gress, VA has reviewed 75,353 cases, slightly more than 36 per cent. VA said virtually all veterans drawing compensation for service- connected disabilities will have their cases reviewed under the new schedule. Reviews are auto matic, therefore, VA requested disabled veterans not to make in quiries about their cases while they are pending. Although the new schedule pro vides increased ratings for cer tain types of disabilities and de creases for other types, it does not make any blanket change in rating. However, the increases far outnumber the decreases. Waiting List For VA Hospitals Off 57% Since July The number of veterans await ing hospitalization in Veterans Ad ministration hospitals in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi declined 57 per cent in the last eight months, the Veterans Administra tion reported today. The reduction was ascribed to acquisition of ‘surplus” military hospitals, and increase in beds available for veterans, and a more rapid turnover of patients through improved medical care.

Applicants must be 21 years old and must pass a physical examination to show that they have no physical defects which would interfere with safe driving. First year drivers will be paid $100.00 per month with room and board furnished by the company. Also of interest is the fact that tips run high on a job of this nature. The company desires to hire a few men from each of the leading colleges. College men are wanted only if their vacation coincides with the Park operating season.
