THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1949 BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT. BROOKINGS. OREGON ditions, I am convinced that no more than the vitally necessary bills should be considered now. It should also complete» action on a few unfinished items of relative ly low importance—and then ad journ. I am certain that consideration and action upon highly important and complicated legislation should not be attempted under present conditions. 1 By Harris Ellsworth. M. C. The first few days after the house of representatives moved into its new quarters in the ways arid means committee room in the new house office buildipg, I thot ♦he temporary' set-up would work out well. I have changed my mind. The sessions are little short of bedlam. In spite of every effort on the part of the presiding offi cer, the noise and confusion is terrible. As a result of the gen eral high noise level on the floor, the loud-spqaker system used by those who address the house is operated at which seems to be full volume—with six amplifier units blaring down at us from along the walls. A boiler factory -in full production would be a *nice quiet place by comparison, A few days ago I was asked by a wire service reporter what I thought of the situation, and when I thought we were going to ad journ this session. Among other comments I said “We should ad journ and go home.’’ This re mark I find was widely quoted on the radio and in the newspa pers. There was, however, a great deal more behind my remark than revealed by the short easy quote. After watching the house of rep resentatives in operation for nearly two weeks under these ex tremely trying and adverse con- ♦ ♦ ♦ There has not been a great deal of publicity given to the fact, but before long the federal gov ernment through the veterans ad ministration will begin the dis tribution of cash to veterans. The total will be two billion, eight hundred million of dollars! Think what that amount of new, un obligated, spendable income will do toward boltering up a slightly sagging U. S. economy. No, for once an outpouring of federal money is not listed under the heading of government spending This will be the return to the veterans of World War 2 of over payments they have made on their national service life insur ance policies. The veterans administration re fers to the payments as a special dividend. Anyone who held NSLI for as long as three months is el igible for payments. Veterans do not need write the VA about this. Application forms will soon be available at all post offices. All the veteran needs to do is to ob tain a form, fill it out and mail it to the VA. In a letter I received recently trom VA Administrator Carl R. Gray, Jr., he states: “Every ef fort is being made to speed up work in connection with payment of the dividend. We hope to mail out the first checks some time in January, 1950, and to have the payment substantially completed Crr^lete Real Restate Service by June 30.” NOTARY PUBLIC CLAUD WRIGHT, Salesman The announcement of plans for Bol ¿11 South end of town distributing insurance dividend Brookings, Oregon checks to some eleven or twelve million veterans during the con 5 acres with good waterright, gressional campaign year of 1950 ocean view—well drained, good touched many political nerves in soil.

All his life he had been planning and dreami ng of being a farmer, but when his World War II service ended in a hospital and a leg em- putation, those K. BAILWEBER plans had to be traded in for new ones. Today, Kenneth Ballweber is a district circulation manager for the Oregon Journal, happily mar ried and owns his own home. Because he had the courage to overcome a serious handicap and succeed in a new field of endeavor in which his disability didn’t make any difference. Ballweber has been selected by the Disabled American Veterans as its “Hero of the Month.” The selection is part of a na tional program to honor each month a seriously disabled veteran who has successfully rehabilitated himself. The attack that cost Ball weber his leg took place on Morotai in the South Pacific. His Army unit was sent into an area thickly cov ered with brush and jungle growth. The sound was pinned down four hours by Jap fire and in Bail weber’s own words. “Lotsof us were wounded and killed.” He was among the wounded float ed down a raft for eight miles — a raft which natives made by hand. After two days of field hospitals he spent two months in a hospital in Biak and was returned to the States for hospitalization. Ball weber had been employed at the Salem Linen Mills before he entered service and a job was awaiting him following his dis charge from the hospital. However, he decided to go into newspaper work and he became associated with the Oregon Journal. As a district manager he has a 65 mile route and supervises the work of nine carriers. He drives his own car over the route which covers Kaizer, Brooks, Chemawa and Four Corners. Ballweber attributes his rehabil itation to his own determination, the care and encouragement of his wife, the former Hazel Blackman, and his life membership in the Disabled American Veterans. He was born in Woodburn, Ore gon, March 7, 1922 and attended Fairfield Grade School and gradu ated from the Gervais High School.
