project. Increased costs since the
original project was authoribed,
plus some additions caused by re-
vised plans, made a larger au-
thorigation figure necessary.
Authorization bill referred to
has been widely criticize»d as a
“pork” bill—meaning an oppor­
tunity for members of congress
to grab juicy slices for their dis
tricts. I cannot see much justi­
fication for this criticism. The
mill does two things. It adjusts
previously made cost estimates
of projects now under construc­
tion. It represents final approval
tor new projects which may or
may not be constructed in the
long future. That bill DOESN’T
appropriate or spend any money.
Similar authorization bills in
the past have piled up a back-log
of approved plans totalling more
than 700 projects, but only some
70 projects are now under con­
struction and appropriations for
starting new projects are not be­
ing allowed this year.
I think some of the screaming
about the Rivers and Harbors
and Flood Control bill has been
in the nature of a smoke screen
tor the purpose of distracting at­
tention from the deficit-spending
appropriation bill now under the
congress’ consideration.

Even though the president did
not announce the fact until the
House-Senate conference was en
deavoring to decide on amount
of arms aid to Europe, Russia
did explode an atomic bomb as
that bill was under consideration.
Lately the Russians shot down
an airplane. The repercusisons of
that act continue to cause ten­
sion. Very serious developments
may yet result from the murder­
ous Russian action.
The conclusion I am compelled
to reach is that the Russian gov-
sian government is very anxious
to have us continue our ruinous
administration policy of deficit
spending.

Gold Beach. Ore.
Applicants for the Washing­
ton world w’ar 2 veterans’ bonus
are advise to be patient— facili­
ties of the Washington bonus
staff are limited to checking of
only 1500 claims a day and pay-
ment of about 1000 a day, from
more than 175.000 applicatios.
This information was received
by the Oregon Department of
Veterans’ Affairs in answer to
a recent inquiry to A. C. Ashen­
felter, Washington Division of
Veterans Compensation adminis-
trator. regarding the schedule of
payments of that state’s recently
enacted bonus.
Ashenfelter said the applicant
will receive a claim if his appli-
cation is in order. If it is not in
order, he is “given a suspense
number and the veteran is ad-
vised of the incorrectness and
requested to furnish thi» infor-
mat ion necessary to put his claim
in order. From that point on, ac­
cording to their numbers, aro
processed and paid.”
To show the magnitude of the
bonus staff’s job. Ashenfelter dis-
closed that about 10.000 appli­
cations were received per day
during the first ten days after
forms were distributed on Jan.
10. These could be filed in order
of days received, he said, be­
cause facilities were too limited
to permit alphabetical 01 other
filing.
By March 17. 40.000 of these
claims had been checked and
given either claim or suspense
numbers. But because bonus
funds were not available until
Feb. 21, only 14.000 claims had
been paid by March 17.

states as well as the State of
Washington: Deleware, Indiana,
New York. Minnesota, North Da­
kota, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
