Sunday, August 12, 19SS Amendments in Program for GI Loans Included in Bill The World War II GI loan pro gram ending date has been ex tended for one more year to July 25, 1958, under an omnibus GI loan law signed by the President AllfT 1 nfVnrHinA n C T "D o- -, - ...... , , t v. u . A. i,i nii- nock. of the Vptoron'. Arimtni J tration office in Medford. The GI loan program previous ly was scheduled to end July 25. 1957, Brannock said, and under the wording of the original law, all GI loans would have had to be closed by that date. Under the law, any GI loan for which VA receives an appli. cation by July 25, 1958, may be guaranteed or insured by VA if it is completed by July 25, 1959. Law Affects Brannock added that the law affects only World War II vet erans. Korean veterans have un til Jan. 31, 1965, to obtain GI loans for homes, farms or busi nesses. More than 345.000 Ko rean veterans have borrowed $3.6 billion in GI loans. VA has guaranteed or insured $2 billion of that amount. In addition, the law will per mit any veteran who sells resi dential property purchased with a GI loan to be relieved from lia bility to the government under certain circumstances. Previously, the veteran who sold his property and allowed the purchaser to assume his GI loan still remained liable to the government in the event of fore closure and payment of a guar anty claim by the VA. Now the veteran is relieved of liability if the purchaser assumes full liabil ity on the loan. Entitlement Restored The new law also permits World War II veterans to have their GI loan entitlement restor ed up to Jan. 31, 1965, if their property was taken by a govern mental agency for public use, was destroyed by a natural haz- Air Pumped To Man Trapped Under Wafer New Orleans (U.R) Work ers cut metal and pumped air by floodlight Saturday to try to keep alive two men feared trap ped inside the cabin of a cap sized floating oil rig in the Mis sissippi river.

All but four of some 30 men aboard were accounted for after the $1,500,000 barge, bigger in area than a basketball court, cap sized with a sudden shift of its load of metal pipe late Friday.

The law also amends the GI bill to permit the restoration of GI loan entitlement to a veteran who disposes of his home because of a transfer under military orders. A veteran, under the new law, will have to certify that he' in tends to live in the home he is buying with the assistance of a GI loan at the time of applica tion and at the time of closing the loan. The law also clarifies and con firms VA's authority to make the final determination of reasonable value of property irrespective of the estimate of value made by an individual appraiser. The GI loan program has been in operation for 12 years and 4.466,000 World War II veterans have borrowed $33.2 billion in GI loans. Of that amount, VA has guaranteed or insured $17.9 Peak of Chicago Epidemic Expected Chicago (U.R) Dr. Herman Bundesen, Board of Health pres ident, has expressed hope that a leveling-off would appear in Chicago's record polio outbreak in abuut a week. Bundesen's speculation of a leveling-off and an ensuing de cline in the polio case load was based on past records of the dis ease in the city. Although hope ful, Bundesen admitted his prog nosis could be wrong. There have been 676 cases of polio and 18 deaths from the dis ease so far this year, far exceed ing case loads in past years. Bundesen's optimistic state ment came as the polio rate con tinued to climb, particularly in the hard-hit West Side slum area where almost 50 per cent of the cases have been recorded.
