More Liberal Definition Of 'Widow1 in New VA Law A more liberal definition of the term "widow" is used to determine eligibility for com pensation payments to the sur vivor of a veteran who dies of a service-connected 'cause on or after Jan. 1, 1957, S. T. Baran nock, officer in charge, VA of fice. Sixth st. and Riverside ave., Medford, said today. The new definition is estab lish by the Survivor Benefits act, public law 881. May Qualify Brannock said for service-connected deaths on and after that date, the widow may qualify for VA death payments if a child was born of the marriage; if no child, the widow was married to the veteran before or during his service; if no child and if not married before or during his service, she married him within 15 years after the duty period when the service-connected in jury or disease that caused his death occurred; or if . no child and if married more than 15 years after the foregoing duty period, she was married to the veteran five or more years be fore his death. The widow must have lived with the veteran from the time of marriage until his death, ex cept where a sparation was due to the misconduct of the hus band, or was procured by the husband without fault on the part of the widow, Brannock said. Previous laws for service-connected deaths before Jan. 1, 1957, generally provide shorter periods within which the mar riage must have been performed and do not establish a widow's eligibility solely because la child was born of the marriage. Brannock stated that widows who were ineligible before Jan. 1 1957, remain ineligible under the new law. Earth Satellite May Not Function Washington U.R) Top Navy researchers have cautioned that the proposed earth satellite now being built may not work. . "While we are going to do our best, and are doing it, we cannot guarantee it," Rear Adm. Raw son Bennett, chief of naval re search, said in congressional tes timony made public Thursday. Under existing law, the man made satellite must be fired into the heavens by the end of next year. It is this country's princi pal contribution to the world's marking of the ' International Geophysical Year, a period of concentrated study of the earth and the sun. Bennett said no matter what happens the experiment is "bound to pay off in practical benefits to mankind." He listed a score of ways in which the re search and experience involved in the project will help man in his fight to conquer matter and space. we know what vill please her- V May 12th forever young fashions ...
