To Start Going in Mail June 18 Salem (U.R) Oregon's first bonus checks to veterans of World War II will start going in the mail next Wednesday, June 18, a couple of weeks earlier than anticipated, according to William F. Gaarenstroom, direc tor of the State Department of Veterans' affairs. Some 75,000 bonus payments amounting to more than $31, 000,000 should be paid by the end of July. When sale of bonus bonds was finally allowed sev eral weeks ago, it was estimated the payments would not start at least until the first of July. Pearson Signing Bonds But State Treasurer Walter J. Pearson is now in New York signing 46,000 bonus bonds rep resenting $46,000,000 in bonus funds, and this money will be placed on deposit to the credit of the state of Oregon as soon as the signatures have been com pleted, probably by Friday of this week. The total bonus is expected to be between SO and 60 million dollars, with the best estimate given at about halfway between those figures. Oregon voted a bonus of World War II to GI Joes and Janes or their bene ficiaries of $10 a month for do mestic service and $15 a month for foreign service to a maximum in either case of $60b The aver age payment is expected to be about $415.

Newbry's office for prep aration of the bonus checks. Part of Newbry's staff has been as signed solely to this chore to as sure as speedy payment of the bonus as possible. The applica tions have been checked and filed by the bonus division of the veterans affairs department under the leadership of Hub Saalfeld. Some 35,000 checks will be ready for mailing by next Wed nesday, but Gaarenstroom said it may take three or four days to mail that many. The State Tax commission has offered the vet erans' department the use of its fast letter stuffing and mailing machine and an operator. But the machine may be tied up tempor arily part of next week for mail ing quarterly tax payment no tices. If it is, then the bonus dl vision will have to get the first Oregon Research Men Get Grants To Further Study Washidngton (U.R) Four Oregon research men, two from Portland and two from Corval lis, will receive grants totaling more than $18,000 for studies in public health fields, according to the U.

Current Status Told The current status of the first 60,000 living veterans' bonus ap plication is: .Of bonus numbers 1 to 20,000, a total of 19,526 have been ap proved, 300 are in suspense awaiting further evidence either from the applicant or from sources queried by the depart ment, and 174 have been disal lowed . because these veterans were not eligible for Oregon bonus. Of numbers 20,000 to 40,000 a total of 18,582 were approved, 1275 are pending and 143 were disallowed. Of numbers 40,000 to 60,000 a total of 17,077 have been approved, 3800 are pending and 123 were disallowed. Veterans whose clams have been approved are not being no tified. They will know it when they received their bonus checks. Veterans whose applications are disallowed are informed. Navy Claims Delayed Some delay in payment of Navy veterans' claims is expect ed because the application of every ex-sailor who had some sea duty must be checked in the Navy records centers in New York and Washington, D. C, to determine the amount of duty performed ' ,as Navy dis charges during World War II did not give this information. .More than 90,000 veterans or next of kin of deceased veterans have already applied for the bonus. The department expects to re ceive another 40,000 applications before the deadline for filing, next December 1. - It is estimated that all agri cultural products, including live stock, brought New Mexico far mers and ranchers $300,000,000 in 1951. gWi..ji.ngwii.i'..w,.iai ... t m wife Si : Miss Florida Marcia Crane smiles happily after being chos en "Miss Florida" at St. Peters burg.
