(International Souridphoto), House Group To Study Ending Wartime Benefits to Veterans - Washington (U.R) The rHouse Veterans Committee, un--der new management after Jan. .5, will consider ending wartime .veterans benefits such as the Korean GI Bill and restoring the .benefit program to a peacetime .basis. This was disclosed Saturday -by Rep. Olin E. Teague (D "Texas), who will become chair--man of the committee in the ;Democratic 84th Congress. Tea gue' already has written govern ment agencies and veterans ; groups for their views on con tinuing the scholarships and '-other benefits of the GI Bill. Eenefils Would Continue : Returning to a peacetime ba- sis would not affect wartime rveterans rights already accumu lated or acquired between now ; and the posisble cut-off date. Men having served in the war- time period could continue to claim their wartime benefits. ; Teague emphasized that he has .not made up his mind on the is ' sue. However, as chairman of a 'special committee that drafted the Korean GI Bill he said he is .certain Congress did not intend it as permanent, peacetime legis lation. ' ' ' To get a decision on when the program should be termi- Inspection Slated For Reserve Units An inspection of the training and administration of local U.S. Army Reserve units will be made Monday, according to Maj. Joseph Peacock, unit advisor. Lt. Col. Hartwell T. Bynum, assistant inspector general of the 6th Army, will be in charge. Units to be inspected include the 304th Logistical command, 382nd Quartermaster battalion and 6402nd Logistical Command Training unit. On Tuesday, the inspection group will go to Grants Pass to inspect Head quarters company of the 304th. Commanding officers of all the local units have announced that vacancies exist for qualified men. Those interested should contact the office in the Fed eral building, 33 North Riyer side ave. nated, Teague said he will in troduce in January a bill to end further accumulation of eligi bility under the GI Bill except for those men who get into ser vice through the draft. Volunteers, under that pro posal, would no longer become eligible for the free schooling and other benefits under the GI Bill. Putting a cut-off on the GI Bill would not directly affect the termination of other wartime benefits for veterans. However, the two are tied together so closely action on one probably would prompt similar action on the others. Compensation Lower Peacetime compensation rates for service-incurred disability are only 80 per cent of those paid for disabilities incurred in wartime. Pensions for non-service-connected disabilities are paid only for wartime service. According to Veterans Admin istration entimates termination of the GI Bill benefits, and put ting other veterans benefits on a peacetime basis, would save 300 million dollars yearly. VA has taken no stand on whether this should be done.
