Insurance Money In State To Be Paid Veterans Portland - A total of $3, 616,000 in 1963 GI insurance dividends will be paid to Ore gon veterans in record time, according to R. J. Novotny, manager of the Portland Vet erans Administration regional office. Plans for payment of both regular and special 1963 divi dends were announced by the White House recently. Under a greatly specded-up timetable, the entire payment of both regular and special dividend payments is expect ed to be completed during January. Of the total, $3,401,000 is for both the regular and spe cial 1963 dividends that will go to World War II veterans in Oregon holding National Service Life Insurance (NSLI) policies. The $215,000 in regular dividends will go to World War I veterans who hold U. S. Government Life Insurance (USGLI) policies. Regular dividends, which are distributed annually, are usually paid on the anniver sary date of the original is suance of the policy. On this occasion, the payment will be speeded up to be completed within January. An acceler ated method was used once before by the VA when the regular dividends during 1961 were paid by Mid-March of that year. Returning Part Payment The regular dividends which are paid to both World j War I and World War II policyholders are primarily a ! return to the policyholders of part of their premium pay ments, since the death rate ! among GI policyholders con j tinues to be lower than the rate upon which the payments were established by law. The special dividend, which will go to World War II NSLI policyholders only, will be paid from the contingency reserve fund due to the fact that study and current ex perience indicate that the fund is more than ample to ! meet the needs of the insur- ance program. A previous 1 special dividend was paid to World War II policyholders ! during 1961. Novotny reminded veteran policyholders that the prepar ing and mailing of the divi dend is automatic and re quires no correspondence from veterans or their fami lies. In fact, such correspond ence might delay the dividend disbursement process, he said.

Xy Area Woman Killed In Accident; All Ambulances Busy Grants Pass All ambu. lances in the Grants Pass area were busy last night when two accidents 25 minutes apart claimed the life of a Medford woman and injured three other persons. Five minutes after the sec ond accident occurred, fire broke out in a Grants Pass residence and the occupant was overcome by smoke. But the city police had to take the man to Josephine Gen eral hospital in a police car, because they couldn't locate a free ambulance. Killed in the first accident was Agnes Lea Hall, 44, of 214 North Peach st., Medford. Injured seriously were Elea nor LaDora Parr, 38, of 44 North Grape St., Medford, and Mary K. Wallis, 20, of 214 North Peach St., Medford.

The accident occurred at 5:55 p.m. on Interstate 5 near the E st. overpass at Grants Pass. A car driven by Mr Hall apparently went out of control, striking guard rails on both sides of the south bound lanes. The collision knocked out the car's lights and threw Mrs. Hall and MLss Parr out on the pavement.
