George E. Bandy, Oregon director of veterans' affairs, said today In hastening to explain the difference between the iwo payment. "If a veteran shows you his gov ernment check marked 'terminal leave,' and this check amounts to more than 150, you can be sure .that he was discharged after August 31, 1046. and Is actually on terminal leave and Is being paid 'or accrued leave time up to a maximum of 60 davs." Bandy explained. "Now. If the same shows vou av terminal leave bond In addition to Alaska Jobs Said Short warhtnoton. Mar g UPt If you want a Job In Alaska, go to Seattle to get it Is the advice of Ray Bran naman of Denver, senior vice com mander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Brannaman has Just returned from Alaska, and he says the em ployment situation there, among .venturesome young war veterans who nave neaaea norm wun insuf ficient financial reserves, Is not good. "Already the Salvation Army and VFW and other organizations are having to take care of some of those ex-OI's," Brannaman told a reporter. . "Costa up there, for transporta tion, food and everything else, are Just about twice what they are In the states, and some of those boys are In a hell of a shape. . "Even with spring opening up, there's not a world of Jobs in I Alaska. The veteran who wants a Job In Alaska can best get it In Seattle; where the territory does most of its hiring, before he leaves. "That way. too, his passage will be provided both ways." Brannaman said. his check," the director went on, "then It means that he had accumu lated more than 60 days of leave before the armed forces terminal leave act went Into effect last Au gust 31. In this case, the bond is payment for-that part of his leave over the 60 days, and like all such bonds, Is non-negotiable and can not be cashed for five years." In reviewing last year's armed forces terminal leave act, these points were stressed. i. aii ennstea men witn unused leave time up to the time of the act of August 31 would be paid for this unused time. Just as officers always were paid, up to a maximum of 120 days. The act provided that the en listed men s pay lor tnis unused leave would be In the form of bonds, to pay off five years after discharge. 2. After August 31, 1946, no one In service could accumulate more than 60 4ays of unused leave, but officers and enlisted personnel would get the same treatment, going on terminal leave at time of dis charge and receiving pay until their leave time Is consumed.
