I Modified Veterans Pension Bill Excludes Those Still Able To Toil WASHINGTON. May 12 OB A dissension-split House Vet erans Committee Wednesday ap proved a modified pension bill add ing about $10,000,600,000 to exist ing veterans benefits over the next 50 years. The new bill in effect liberalizes and writes into law regulations of the Veterans Administration al ready in force for disabled and needy veterans.' It is a follow-up to a hundred-billion dollar measure which failed to pass. The final committee product contained an amendment by Rep. Teague (D-Tex) barring pensions for veterans able to work more than half time. . " The-' unemployability require ment was hotly opposed by Chair man Rankin (D-Miss). He voted against it in Committee and threatened to carry his fight against his own Committee's bill onto the floor of the house. Emerging from the committee room, where members drew up a final draft behind closed doors, Rankin told reporters: "The Teague amendment cuts out six-sevenths of the World War I veterans aged 65 or over. It is the worst blow they have received to date since the economy act of 1933." The economy act reduced vet erans pensions. As the bill now stands, it estab lishes pension benefits totaling ap proximately a billion dollars a year through the year 2000. The new version was put to gether by the Committee as a "reasonable" counter-proposal to the criticism which greeted the earlier bill: that it was much too expensive. In brief, the latest bill would provide $72-a-month pension bene fits for needy veterans of both world wars at age 65. It also would set up benefits ranging from $60 to $72 in cases of total disability.
