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.

most wanted pen
^T~'i id! fame of the Parker “51” has broad
JL dimensions. Every language, every
continent knows this fine pen. Pride in its
ownership is shared in every walk of life.
Surveys both here and abroad substan
tiate these facts. American pen dealers, for
example, recently named Parker the most-
wanted pen—rating it ahead of all other
well-known makes combined. (Score: 12.1°/ 0
for Parker; 27.3% for all others.)
Fortunately, more 51’s are now being
shipped. So see your dealer soon.
Here is a pen of simple beauty. Every
detail reflects unhurried craftsmanship-
working to highest precision standards.
Its unique point has no moving parts to
clog or fail. It starts promptly. Writes
smoothly and with pressureless touch.
The precision-fit cap slips on—locks
without twisting. Within the tapered shaft,
the Si’s filler is safely concealed.
This pen alone is designed for satisfac
tory use with Parker “51” Ink that dries as
it writes! (It can also use ordinary ink.)
See the “51” today. Colors: Black, Blue
Cedar, Dove Gray. $12.50; $15.00. Pen
cils, $5.00; $7.50. Sets, $17.50 to $80.00.

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.
