President Approves Two Measures %
Liberalizing World War Benefits
Rankin Bill Granting Pensi on to Widows and 'Depen-
Dents Without Regard to Decree of Service-Con
nected Disability Becomes Law
(From July 27 issue of National
Tribune, veterans newspaper pub
lished in Washington, D. C.)
President Roosevelt last week sign
ed the Rankin bill, H. R. 5452, grant
ing additional benefits to veterans of
the World War and their dependents.
H. R. 2996, restoring certain so-called
misconduct cases to the compensation
rolls was also signed by the Presi
dent. An analysis of the two bills
follows:
H. R. 5452 provides that if a man
died from a non-service-connected
disability and has a service-connect
ed disability of any degree—even less
than 10 per cent —his widow and de
pendents would be eligible for ben
efits just as though his percentage
was 10 per cent or more.
It provides an increase from $22
to S3O per month for the widow of a
compensable man who dies from any
cause and for a widow and one child
S3B per month, with the present rate
of $4 per month for each additional
child.
The law is amended so as to make
the changes conform with other sec
tions of the amended bill.
It is estimated that 2,900 new cases
would be brought in under the above
amendments at an annual cost of sl,-
268,000 and that there will be in
creases to 14.850 widows already on
the rolls at an annual cost of $1,426,-
000.
It provides for the hospitalization
and domiciliary care of retired of

HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH THURSDAY, JULY’27, 1939
Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast
Guard who served during a war pe
riod on a parity with other veterans.
It is estimated 140 officers and
men will be affected by this pro- 1
vision at an annual cost of $37,700.
It raises rates of death compensa
tion to dependents of World War vet
erans whose death is due to service,
as follows:
Widows under 50 years of age S3B,
and a widow aged 50 years or over
$45 per month. This would be an in
crease over the Public 304 rates of
$8 per month for a widow under 50
years, and $7.50 for a widow 50 to
65 years. It would effectuate no
change .in the rates payable for chil
dren or dependent parents. The total
amount of compensation which would
be payable to a widow, child, or*
children is changed from $75 as it ap
pears in Public Law 304 to SB3, such
increase conforming with the in
creases in rates to widows. The sec
tion further changes the limitation
contained in Public Law No. 304 with
reference to receipt of insurance pay
ments, to eliminate United States
Government life (converted) insiii*-
ance from the limitation. It is esti
mated that these increases will af
fect 27,800 widows at an annual cost
of $2,628,000.
It raises the present statutory a
vvard for anatomical loss or the loss
of the use of one hand, or one foot,
or one eye, from $25 to $35 per
month.
It is estimated that this will af
fect 9,000 World War and 240 Span
ish War veterans at an annual cost
of $1,113,000.
It reduces interest charges on loans
secured by liens on Government in
surance from 6 to 5 per cent.
It is estimated that the bill will
bring direct benefits to approximate
ly 55,000 veterans and their depen
dents at an annual cost to the bene
ficiaries of $6,500,000.
H. R. 2296 restores to the compen
sation rolls veterans who were on
the rolls March 19, 1933, suffering
from paralysis, paresis, or blindness,
or who are helpless or bedridden. As
in the cases of service connection un
der statutory presumption, compen
sation to these misconduct cases
would be at a rate of 75 per cent of
what is paid in directly service-con
nected cases. Widows and children in
misconduct cases in which the vet
eran has died since the Economy Act
or in cases of misconduct in which
the veteran dies in the future would
be granted the same allowances as
go to widows and children of com
pensable veterans who die from
causes other than those for which
compensated.
It is estimated that 1,100 veterans
will be restored to the rolls under
this bill at cost of $1,198,000?
Low Prices In Georgia
Boost Tobacco Control
(Continued From Page One)
an emergency referendum and there
by set up control of this year’s mar-,
keting quotas without waiting until
too late to do anything about the 1940
crop.
Dr. Poe forecast that in general it
will be the higher grades of tobacco
which will suffer the biggest drop in
price this season. The manufacturers,
of the higher-priced cigarettes, cigars
and smoking tobacco are already
pretty well stocked up, he said, a fact
which will make competition for the
highest grades relatively dull.
On the other hand, manufacturers
of the medium and low priced cig
arettes are apparently not so well
stocked, with the result that they will
be in the market for quantities of the
weed. As a consequence, prices for
this kind of tobacco are likely to hold
up fairly well, he prophesied.
But no matter what happens in the
matter of prices this season, Dr. Poe
is convinced that there must be some
form of control over production and
marketing if the tobacco farmers are
not to suffer ultimate and overwhel
ming disaster.
He laid repeated emphasis on the
fact that this season’s crop gives all
indications of being far in excess of
SHE MUDDLED THROUGH MANY A BOUGH^SEA!^^^^^
any possible consumption before the
next is due. That being so, he con
tends, there is going to be a heavy
carry-over of tobacco, and if the
same condition continues to exist for
as many as two or three years it will
be then certain that the bottom will
drop completely out of tobacco prices.
Summing up the situation as seen
by Dr. Poe, there seems little like
lihood of any serious emergency, ac
companied by closing warehouses
and “marches on Raleigh” this year;
but there is really grave danger that
over-production will before long re
sult in serious consequences to the
tobacco growers.
Freedom of Religion
Is Championed
(Continued From l?age One)
the individual soul incompetent to
deal directly with Gqqi. Every form
of coercive restraint or constraint of
man in his converse with God is both
a sin against the individual and a
hindrance to human welfare.”
In separate resolutions, direct men
tion was made of religious restric
tions in Russia and Roumania.
“The members of siis congress,”
said the first of thes|, “deeply de
plore the fact that the government
of the U. S. S. R. has maintained
through many years and still main
tains an attitude and policy of hos
tility to religion. They earnestly de
sire friendships between the gov
ernments and peoples of the earth,
and they would emphasize the fact
that truly cordial and intimate rela
tions are made impossible by exist
ence of repression and persecution.”
Recent action of Roumanian au
thorities in permitting reopening of
Baptist churches brought expression
of “satisfaction” in another resolu
tion, but the paper added the con
gress was, “nevertheless, constrain
ed to point out that the new admin
istrative decree appears unacceptable
inasmuch as the exercise of control
by a government department of the
internal affairs of churches is in it
seA ~ violation of the principle, of
religious freedom.”
