SAVEVN WANTED SUMMER ITEMS
By SID HOLUNGSWORTH
This column t addressed
mainly to veterans. The Vet
erans administration is liter
ally swamped these days with
requests of all kinds oy man
and ntherwise.
- "Help the VA to Help
You!", is the plea mai nas
been ssfct out. And this re
port will give some of the
reasons and a tew 01 me i
rwers. .
"There are three main ways
of helpmfi" it is stated. Num
ber one, when a veteran writ
es to V A. Number to, when
a veteran visits a VA office,
wiri nnmher three, when a
etarsn apalies te the VA for
nirrvn rArticular Deneiii.
Accordini to a recent es
timate, approximately 100
million .letters a year arrive
at VA mail rooms. Most of
those letters have to be an
swered and all have to be
tamiiei hv t ost etfk eto
jfertment. A lit earul consider

"So, let's say year VA
dheok gets lost. Maybe some-
one stole It from your letter
box. Tell the VA immediate
ly as soon as you discover the
loss.
"Suppose you change your
address. Tell your local post
office and the VA right away,
giving both old and new ad
dress. "It's possible also for a vet
eran to get a check for the
wrong amount. If so, tell the
VA right away. Do not cash
an Incorrect VA check. By
telling the VA, you avoid
, having to repay extra money
to which you are not enlt
tied'
If you have to write to VA
about a benefit or some other
problem, do not write to VA's
national headquarters in
Washington. Ninety -nine
times out of a hundred, its
the long way round.
"Letters sent to Washlng-
' ton headquarters have to be
sent back to the regional of
fice where your individual
records are kept. So for most
everything, except GI insur
ance, write to your VA reg
ional office."
If the matter is a GI insur
ance problem, the letter
should be sent to the VA dis
trict office where regular
premium payments are sent.
The new pension law.
which goes into effect July 1,
Is creating a considerable
amount of confusion. The
heavy burden naturally falls
on the central office in Wash
ington, and this is one reason
why this "decentralization"
of business is in progress.
Every effort is being made
at the present time to effect
an easy transition to the new
pension program. Most of the
veterans at this domiciliary
have elected to remain under
the old law, as an option pro
vided In the new statute.
However, tjje management
at White City Tclt called upon
to hold a mass meeting in the
theater recently in order to
check the spread of unfund
ed rumors about the effects
of the ner law.
OThe meeting tras addressed
by Assistant Manager Banks
I. Paul, DksMfcllitry Officer
Glenn, ami Contact Officer
S. T. Benacck, who gave a
full report cm tK new law as
it applies in matters 91 in
come and deductions.
The Veterans administra
tion information service with
headquarters in Seattle finds
it important enough to re
mini veterans to take proper
eare ! til air military dis
charge. "Bare it recorded at your
eetrnty eeurtheuse; have cer
tified copies made, or photo
stats; then be sure to keep
the original discharge in a
safe place," an announcement
states.
Btoctronic computers ore
being tested by the VA and
We bureau of standards in the
study et hoart disease. A re
cent report states the comput
ers give "much more com
plete information about the
heart tha electro cardiograms."
