THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1945 PAGE THREE WPB Pledges Aid To War Veterans Pledging whole hearted assist ance tfi returned World War II veterans, the war production board In correspondence with L. H. Helphrey, Deschutes county veterans' service officer, guaran ted loosened controls and substan tial aid to each rehabilitated G. I. who plans to enter a business of Ills own. "Every assistance will be given to the extent that it does not in terfere with production necessary for the war effort," asserted Z. M. Maxwell, priorities field sec retary for the WPB from the Portland office. "We recognize as veterans' any serviceman who has received an honorable dis charge from the army, navy, ma rine corps or coast guard since December 31, 1940." Clarifying the "margin of len iency" policy newly-inaugurated by the WPB, Maxwell emphasized that if the order covering the ma terial for which a returned vet eran is requesting priority assist ance does not specifically except the veterans, he would be govern ed by the same restrictions that affect other users. However, when the applicant is known to be a veteran, his requests will be given immediate and careful at tention. In all cases, it was report ed, when a request may be grant ed without interfering with the war effort, that application will be swiftly approved. Instructions Given Applications requesting prior ity assistance for either repair, re modelling or construction of non farm private dwellings should be filed with the Federal Housing ad ministration, Piatt building, Port land, 5, Oregon, Helphrey stated., A farmer who desires such as-1 sistance should first consult his local. AAA committee to deter mine if that group can expedite the necessary equipment. If that committee is unable to fill his needs, he will be advised of the proper procedure for filing claims. To veterans intending to estab lish a business, it is suggested that they write directly to Z. M. Maxwell, priorities field service, office of the WPB, Priorities Field Service, 806 Bedell building, Port land, 4, Oregon.
