of your discharge is acceptable
to VA as evidence of your mili
tary service. Send or bring it,
with your application, to the VA

Q—How soon after 1 start
school this fall, under the Kor

A—The waiting period is ap

a check until it has received
proof that you have completed
the month of school for which
you are to be paid. In addition,
VA is allowed 20 days after that
to get your first check in the
mail. So count on approximately
two months wait for your first
VA allowance check. After that
checks will arrive regularly for
ejjieh month of certified school
attendance.

News for Vets
The Veterans Administration
has recently liberalized the con
ditions under which veterans can
re-enter training or school under
the Korean GI Bill, said Mark
E. Mattingly, veterans adminis
tration representative at the
Cambridge VA office.
He explained that many vet
erans began training and were
in training on their cut-off date
but interrupted for hardship or
other reasons. Until now these
veterans, if they stayed out of
school over 12 months, were un
able to continue under the bill.
Most of these veterans will now
be eligible for further training.
Altho the VA office in Cincin
nati intends to locate and in
form as many as possible, Mr.
Mattingly advises those who in
tend to re-enter in the immediate
future should take steps to con
tact VA.
Mr. Mattingly can also be
contacted in Noble county court
house, the fourth Thursday of
each month at the patriotic room.
Several hundred veterans in
the Noble county area are being
mailed letters advising them of
possible additional educational
training under an Amendment
Regulation to Public Law 550,
Mr. M. E. Mattingly, veterans
administration representative at
Cambridge, Ohio, announced
today.
This additional training applies
to all veterans eligible under
P.L. 550. who have timely initiat
ed training but. who, for reason
not within their control, have
The veteran was prevented
from continuing training because
of personal or family illness, or
because of a death in the im
mediate family.
The allowable twelve month
period during which training can
be suspended without veterans
administration approval ended
during a school vacation, recess
or other period during which it
was not possible to reenter
school.
The veterans was required to
suspend training because of
unavoidable conditions arising
inconnection with employment.
Mr. Mattingly stated that auth
ority must be obtained direct
from the veterans administration
before reentering school.
Questions and Answers
Q—Before I can get a Certifi
cate of Eligibility for a GI home
loan I understand I will need
to show my discharge from the
Army, which I can't seem to
find. Will a certified true copy
I had made do just as well?
condition
that has been bothering me
lately. My disability is service
connected, but I don't know
whether by dental condition is
of not. Can I get outpatient den
tal treatment from the VA?
A—You would be eligible for
outpatient dental treatment in
the circumstances you describe.
The law states that disabled vet
erans of World War II and the
Korea conflict receiving training
wider the Vocational Rehabilita
tion Act, and who need dental
treatments in order to prevent
interruption of their training,
may apply for the treatment as
needed.
q—x want to change the bene*
ficiaries of my GI insurance
policy. Must I inform the pres
ent beneficiary of my decision?
A—No. You have the right to
change beneficiaries at any time,
without their
consent or
ledge.
know­
Q—I dropped out of school
fourteen months ago, when
things really got tough for me,
money-wise, and meanwhile my
cut-off date has passed. I under
stand there's been a change in
VA's regulations, so that I can
now go back to my GI schooling.
Is there anything special I am
supposed to do?
A—rlf you d° not already have
one, you should soon be receiv
special application form
to fill this form out, sign and re
turn it. VA will send you a cer
tification authorizing you to re
turn to school.
Q—I understand there is a new
law that allows a helples
widower of a woman veteran to
receive VA benefits based on the
death of his wife. What are .the
main provisions?
A—The new law states that
the widowers of a woman vet
eran who has not remarried may
receive VA death benefits if he
is incapable of self-maintenance
and, at the time of his wife':
death, was permanently in
capable of self-support because
of physical or mental disability.
Q—The new $10-per-thousand
of-insurance disability coverage,
for GI insurance policy-holders,
sounds like a good idea to me
I already have coverage under
the old $5-per-thousand-of-insur
ance plan, and have been wond
ering what the new income pro
vision would cost. Would it be
twice as much as the old?
A—No. Your additional pay
ment for the new increased cov
erage would be very small. Any
VA office will give you exact
figures for the extra payment
for your policy.
Q—Can a veteran who is going
to school under the GI Bill also
get a GI loan with which to build
a house?
A—Yes, provided, of course,
that your lender will make the
loan. Nothing in the law pro-
interrupted for more than twelve lhibits simultaneous receipt of the
(12) consecutive months.
Some of these reasons are:
Immediate family or financial
obligations beyond control which
required the veteran to suspend
training to obtain employment.
two benefits.
Q—Does the VA accept GI in
surance premiums in advance? I
have some extra money, and if I
could pay up my insurance for
a year, it would save me a lot
of trouble.
A—You certainly may pay GI
insurance premiums in advance.
You not only save the trouble of
making payments each month,
but you also save money. Pre
miums are discounted when paid
yearly. sVmi-annually or quart
erlv.
q—I am taking on-the-jol
training under the Korean GI
Bill. Is there any limit on nv
training wages?
A—There is no limit on how
much you may earn. However,
when your earnings plus your
GI allowance exceed $310 a
month, VA is obliged to scale
down your training allowance to
bring the total within the $310
"ceiling."
Q—^.understand tlun-e was a
recent change in the law which
extended the date for a World
War Two veteran to get a GI
loan. How much time do I have
now?
A—You now have until July
25. 1960. to apply for a GI loan.
The laws allows up to a year
after that date to complete the
deal,
Q—My son is eligible for col
lege training under the War Or
phans Education program. Would
he be permitted to attend school
in Canada, under the program?
A—No. Generally, War Or
phans schooling in educational
institutions outside the Unite
States is prohibited by law.
Q—My GI schooling was in
terrupted more than a year ago
when my father was sick and I
had to take a job. I understand
I may now continue my school
ing under a liberalization of VA's
regulations. What do I have to
do?
A—You should .receive soon an
application form from the VA.
Fill this out completely and re
turn it. VA will send you a cer
tification authorizing you to re
turn to school.
Q—One of our neighbors is a
widow of a Confederate veteran
and is, I believe, eligible for a
pension under a new law. I
would like to help her get he
pension. How can I do that?
A—Your neighbor will be re
quired to fill out and return an
application form which may be
obtained from any VA office. If
it appears from the completed
form that she is eligible, she will
receive payments automatically.
Q—I am a Korea veteran with
a noncompensable dental con
dition resulting from an injury
received while I was in service.
Do I have to apply for outpatient
dental care within a year from
my discharge or can I get treat
ment at any time?
A—You may apply at any time
and receive as many treatments
as are needed for your condition.
Q—T have been ordered to sup
port my two children, who are
in legal custody of my former
wife. Can I get a GI loan to buy
a house for them to live in?
A—No. VA requires that you
certify that you intend to reside
in a house bought with a GI loan.
The court order that you must
support the children does not
alter the fact that you do not
intend to live in the house your
self.

2. What would the 'R-T-W' do?
It would deny union members and employers the
right to agree to a union shop force cancellation of
the union shop provisions now existing in an esti
mated 80% of all Ohio collective bargaining agree
ments.
3. What is a 'Union Shop'?
Unions are required to bargain for members and
non-members alike. Under a union shop clause,
everyone sharing in union-won benefits must also
share the responsibilities by joining the union
usually 30 to 60 days after being hired by the em
ployer.
4. Are unions compelled to service non-members?
Yes! Section 9 (A) of the Taft-Hartley Act requires
a union to serve everyone in the bargaining unit. It
literally forces unions to give away their services to
non-members. That's why union members object to
"free riders."
5. What is a 'Free Rider'
A person who takes al| tjie economic benefits won
by the union without paying a cent toward the cost
of running the union. He literally "rides" free on the
dues paid by fellow workers.
6. Don't most employers support 'R-T-W' laws?
Certainly not! Many feel a union shop brings about
more stable labor relations. After all it takes two to
make a bargain. An employer must OK it and his
his employees approve it before tbftre can be a union
shop.
7. How do workers fell about the 'Union Shop'?
Between 1947 and 1951 the National Labor Relations
Board conducted 46,119 secret ballot union shop
elections. The results: *Unions won 97.1%.
*Total vote for 'Union Shop* 94.4%.
The Government found that workers favor the union
shop so overwhelmingly that these elections were
just a waste of the taxpayers' money. So it stopped
holding them.
8. Why do labor foes want union shop ban on ballot?
The people immediately affected by the union shop,
the workers themselves, obviously want it. The Ohio
Legislature has spurned efforts to have it outlawed.
The "R-T-W" interests' chief hope is that they can
persuade the public to deny Ohio workers their right
to make their own decision on the matter.
9. What about individual 'rights'?
In a democracy the individual is always free to
seek a job any place, or to attempt to persuade the
majority to his views. But in a democracy, majority
rules. The so-called "Right-To-Work" amendment
literally would imppse the will of the miijqrity on
the majority.
10. Who backs the 'R-T-W' Drive?
The same groups promote trick-titled "Right-To
Work laws in every state. They are: National
Association of Manufacturers, National Right To
Work Committee (formed by Fred Hartley, co
author of T-H Act), National Chamber of Commerce
(but many city Chambers refuse to go along).

These groups are sending material to Ohio in

11. How do they operate?
They send in professionals to form state committees

with scare advertisements designed to stampede

12. Who is opposing 'R-T-W' Amendment?
All organized labor, the Ohio Council of Churches,
all six Catholic Bishops in Ohio, leading Rabbis, most
national church organizations, many civic, business
and fraternal organizations.
13. How can 'R-T-W' undermine unions?
Anti-labor employers would screen applicants care
fully, hire men and women who promised not to join
the union. They could encourage "free riders." Since
the Taft-Hartley law requires unions to service non
members, employers could quickly place a local
union over an economic barrel.
14. What about seniority?
As unions became weaker, every contract benefit
would be in danger. After all, most employers did
not volunteer seniority protection unions won it.
15. Would the 'R-T-W* amendment increase job oppor
tunities?
Just the reverse. Although many people are moving
from the 18 'Right-To-Work' states they still have a
higher percentage of unemployment than the rest of
the country have much lower living standards.
Under the 'R-T-W the mere fact a man once be
longed to a union would mean anti-union employers
would likely refuse to hire him.
16. Do 'R-T-W' sponsors want to help workers?
Well, over the years, the same national groups spon
soring the trick-titled 'R-T-W' have opposed the 8
hour day, minimum wage laws, free education, pro
gressive taxation, social security and even i^nion
recognition.
17. Is this a partisan matter?
Leading Republicans like Secretary of Labor James
Mitchell, Vice President Richard Nixon and the late
Senator Robert A. Taft, have issued firm statements
against the 'R-T-W' compulsory open shop.
Leading Democrats like Senators John Kennedy
and Hubert Humphrey, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and
Adlai Stevenson have spoken out with equal firm
ness against 'R-T-W' laws and amendments.
18. Why do so many churchmen speak out against 'R-T-W?
It is a moral issue. Many Pastors, Priests and Rabbis
have pointed out the place of work is a community
and that everyone in it has a moral obligation to
bear his share of the community responsibility
They also assert employers have a moral obligation
to accept the right of workers to form unions.
19. Is a big campaign ahead?
You may be sure the sponsors of the trick-titled
"Right-To-Work" amendment will shoot the works in
Ohio. This is the first industrial state where they
have submitted the issue to voters.
