Larger Veteran Checks to
Be Delivered After Jan. 1st
Washington, Dec. 13 P) Some 2,000,000 war veterani and
their dependents are due shortly for that congress-voted raise
in the amount of benefit money they received from the gov
ernment. The veterans administration announced yesterday that checks
to be issued late this month for-
delivery after January 1 . will
show increases voted by the 81st
congress. These cover service
connected disability and death
t compensations.
Veterans with service connect
ed disabilities ranging from 10
to 100 percent in degree will re
ceive 8.7 percent more money
than they have in the past.
The old rates range from
$13.80 to $138.00 a month for
war service and $11.04 to
$110.40 for peacetime service,
depending on the degree of dis
ability. The new scale raises these
rates to $15 minimum and $150
maximum for war service dis
abilities; $12 minimum and $120
maximum for peacetime service
The VA says 1,882,000 veter
ans will receive these increases
About 58,000 widows receiv
ing compensation because of the
service connected death of a
veteran, and who have one or
more children, also will get in
creases. The monthly payment
for a widow with one child is
increased from $100 to $105, and
the allowance for each addition
al child from $15 to $20, where
the veteran's death was due to
war service. For death in peace
time service, the widow receives
80 percent of the war rates.
The new law also grants an
increase in disability compensa
tion payable to 20,000 World
War 1 veterans whose disabili
ties are classified as "presumed
to be due to military service."
Previously entitled to only 75
percent of the rates payable for
direct service connected disabili
ties, veterans in this group now
will receive the full rate.

Cross-Country Stump Tour
May Back Up Truman Talk
Key West, Fla., Dec. 13 (U.B President Truman probably will
back up his state of the union message to the next session of con
gress with a cross-country stump tour to help build democratic
majorities in the by-electi'.ns of 1950.
The President proved in 1948 to his own satisfaction that the
way to help the Democratic par--
ty is to run like a candidate for
county sheriff.
According to present and ten
tative plans, that is what he will
do next year in behalf of Dem
ocratic cadidates for the house
and senate.
The exact itinerary will be
worked out later. But Mr. Tru
man, according to current plans,
definitely will cross the nation
in behalf of his party next year.
He was in conference Satur
day with Frank Pace, the di
rector of the budget bureau.
Both the President and Pace felt
that deficit financing was in
evitable next year without a
substantially higher new tax
program.
The weather here was sunny
and warm.
The President has not missed
a day of swimming since he got
down here Nov. 28. He will re
turn to Washington Dec. 20.
Mr. Truman is heavily tanned
and says he's never had a better
vacation.
