Questions and Answers
On Servicemen’s
Problems 4
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
Washington, March 1 — After the
last war thousands of men were dis
charged nnd certified to he In Rood
physical shape. Months, and In
many cases, years later, an ailment
or trouble would crop up which was
a direct result of the military serv
ice. Veterans Administration recog
nizes this possibility and has made
provision for World War If vets to
make claims for latent service-con
nected disability. Here are some typ
ical questions on this subject:
<(. When I was In Africa a bomb
exploded close by and I was stun
ned fur about 10 minutes. In about
an hou. I seemed to have Rotten
over it, and the doctor said I was
all right. About three months later
I was discharged for a reason hav
ing nothing to do with that, laitel.v.
however, I have been having trouble
with my ears und bud headaches, I
went to the doctor and he said It
was entirely possible that the con
cussion from the blast could he the
cause of my trouble, What should I
do?
A. If you have been receiving a
pension for a disability claim, whe
ther it had anything to do with the
Street and Third Avenue. It sells
everything but fleas . . . Sign at
a swanky vegetable store: "Ladles!
Please don't touch! Mow'd you like
It If we did?''
Sounds in the Night: At the Car
nival: "Lesh go home!" . . . "Nah,
we've already been there!" . . , .
At Reuben's: "He's so useless theyre
naming a cigarette vending ma
chine after him" ... At the Me
tropolc: "Willi the curfew law
you're lucky If the waiter brings
your order the same evening!” . . .
At Zanzibar: "He goes out with nice
girls. He can't afford the other
kind" ... At the Stork: "These
shorter night club evenings should
be swell. It’ll take less time to be
come an overnight success' ... At
the Little Palm: "What an Im
polite dress. It stares right at
you!”
| head trouble or not, expluln the new
ailment in a brief letter and send It
to Veterans Administration with
your claim number. Veterans Ad
ministration will do the rest. If you
do not have a previous elalm. It will
be necessary to fill out VA form 626.
On It state all the details of the case
and Include a statement from the
doctor that examined you. VA will
then (five you an examination and
decide the validity of your claim ac
cordingly.
Q. Is there a time limit on filing
a disability claim?
A. For establishing most chronic
ailments as service-connected, the
claim must be made within a year.
For tuberculosis It Is assumed that
It was service-connected If It Is dis
covered any time within two years
after discharge.
Senate Sees
Magic Metal
By FREDERICK C. OTIIMAN
Washington, Msrch 1 — (U.P.t —
When |uir,snips look like Jingle bells
and Indies’ dresses Inst forever . . .
when everybody's got an embroider
ed aluminum tablecloth like the
Duke of Windsor . . .
Me? Drunk? No slree; I’m Just
trying to tell you it’s going to be a
wonderful world. Richard S, Rey
nolds, the Aluminum maker, guar
antees It. He went to the senate to
tell the small business committee
that lie figured the government gave
him the short end of Its aluminum
doal, He’s sore at Jeste Jones and
he thinks the TVA is charging him
too much for power, but that's not
important to us. Or to Reynolds.
He told the senators not to worry
about him, He’ll make his own
iwwcr if the TVA doesn’t cut the
price. The 62-year-old Reynolds,
who combs his hair over his bald
spot and who speaks with the ac
cents of Tennessee, reached under
the table and came up with some of
the other reasons why he’s not wor
rying.
Fellow husbands, I think he has
the unswer to our problem. He pro
duced first a woman's dress, woven
of aluminum thread and tinted gold.
It shimmered under the crystal ca
dalebra and caused Senator James
K. Murray of Montana to ask what
made it such a color,
"The natural shade is silver," re
plied Reynolds, “but ladles like gold
better than silver and so we made it
gold. We can make It any color."
So, fine. Here we iiave a dress
which will not sag. It won’t stretch,
a clguret can’t burn a hole in it and
if the little woman spills aome
chicken gravy on it, she can hold
it under the hot water tap
The beauty of this dress is that
it isn’t going to wear out. Buy your
wdfc one of these and you've got her
clothed for life. Richard 8, Reynolds
you are a great man!
That isn't all. He reached down
aguin and hauled out u golden
coloretd tablecloth, embroidered of
solid aluminu mthread. It was about
t.lie deluxlest tablecloth anybody ever
saw; Reynolds said he had woven
It for an ex-king of England.
“Who?" demanded Sen. Kenneth
S. Wherry of Nebraska,
"An ex-king of England,” re
peated Reynolds. You know who
that is' the Duke of Windsor. Once
ho and his Wally start rating oil
of this tablecloth, their laundry
problems wo over. If they dribble
”UK on it, or iuunbone grease, they
can clean their tablecloth with the
garden liose. The Duke Is a lucky
guy.
J nr ijr.'Liy parsnips am something
flw. Wrap a parsnip or an avocado
or a iilum In a slip of Reynold's
foil paper and, according to him,
It'll last for months.
"Take oranges," he said. "We
wraped an orange and six months
later we unwrapped It, It was as
good acs new. An unwrapped orange
side by side with It, had shrunk
to the size of a lemon."
His vegetable-wrapping aluminum
comes In sheets colored red, green,
blue, silver, and gold. He hud sam
ples of all shades. When he gets go
ing good In the produce business,
grapefruit are going to look like
sweet potatoes, too.
Some stuff, that aluminum.
"Magic metal, we cal It," Rey
nolds testified. Tlie senators were
Impressed and I was, too, and I’ve
got to hurry home now and tell my
bride, before she wastes my money
on clothes made of that old fash
ioned, shrinkable, nondurable wool.
