VA Chief
Explains Law
No part of benefit payments
(torn social security can be waived
by veterans or their widows who
must meet certain income limita
lions to be eligible (or nonservice-
connected disability or death pen
sion from the Veterans Adminis
tration.
Thai statement was issued re
tently by Ft. J. Novotny. manager
ot the VA Regional Office in Port
land, who said he is receiving
many queries on the subject.
Novotny said a boost in social
security payments which will be
reflected in the checks delivered
during early February, may cause
tome persons to become ineligible
or VA pension because their
"other income" will exceed $1,400
annually (if without dependents)
or $2,700 I if with dependents I.
Many of the affected pensioners
mistakenly believe they may
waive part of their social security
benefits and thus bring their oth
er income" below the annual limi
'tations established for VA pen
(ion, Novotny added.
- Income limitations for VA pen
tion purposes apply to veterans
and widows of veterans of World
War I, World War II. and the Ko
'rean conflict. They do not apply
to veterans or widows of veterans
of wars before World War I, No
votny explained.
He also pointed out that until
the person receiving social secur
ity has actually received an
'amount equal to the total social
security contributions taken from
his salary or wages in the past,
the monthly social security pay
ments do not count as income and
do not have to be reported.

Holiday Girl
Crowning Set
LA PORTE, Ind. (AP)-A gold
en-haired little girl with a patched
up heart will celebrate the "best
est" day of her life next Tuesday
at the White House.
That's the day Mrs. Dwight D.
Eisenhower will crown six-year-old
Debbie Quinn as America's
Valentine Girl for 1959.
The American Heart Assn. chose
Debbie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
James Quinn of La Porte, as a
symbol of hope for the 1959 heart
fund campaign.
Debbie was born with four heart
defects. She had a quarter-size
hole between the ventricles of her
heart; her pulmonary artery was
too narrow: her great artery was
displaced, and the right side of
her heart was enlarged.
But Dr. C. Walton Lillehei of the
University of Minnesota Heart
Hospital repaired Debbie s heart
in a 72 hour operation that would
have been impossible 10 years
ago. The heart lung pump, which
did the work of her heart and
lungs during surgery, is a post
World War II development.
Just before the operation, Deb
bie's brother Bobby, a year older
than his sister, told Mrs. Quinn:
Mommie, I bet when God made
Debbie he-didn't happen to have
a good heart around, so he said
to her, 'take this one, Debbie, and
when you are five years old I'll
tell some doctor how to fix it for
you so it will be as good as new.' "
