WRITER BARES INEQUALITIES IN WAR PAYMENTS Unharmed Veterans Draw SIOO to S3O Monthly tor Widows. "Pensions ranging as high as *IOO 9 month are paid to men unharmed by war service,” Dorothy Dunbar Bromley says in the current issue of Today, edited by Raymond Moley, former brain trust leader. The* article continues: ‘Only S3O a month is paid to widows of men who were killed in service and S2O to dependent mothers. The President's new deal in veterans’ benefits—abrogating the legislative handouts of 1917, 1925 and 1930, was not to go unchallenged by the congress that did his will in a moment of national crisis. In June, 1933, congress forced him to whittle down the economy cut in service-connect-ed pensions: to restore to the rolls 29.500 of the nonservice-connected eases who were totally disabled, and to submit the presumptive cases to local special boards of review. "There were five members on each board, including a doctor and one other official from the veterans’ bureau. The ‘outstanding citizens’ who made up the majority were mostly ex-service men. a good number of them being members of the American Legion, the Disabled American Veterans, or the Veterans of Foreign Wars, organizations that have consistently resisted cuts in veterans’ benefits. "A relatively smaller number were members of the American Veterans’ Association, the only service men’s group that has stood out against wholesale benefits to veterans. The 128 boards, scattered throughout the country, reviewed, all told, 51.123 cases. (For some reason which the veterans’ bureau has not explained, the remainder of the 133.000 presumptive cases were not turned over to the boards.) "A few boards struck from the rolls as many as 75 per cent of the claimants, and others ranged as low as 25 per cent, depending upon the type of cases that came before them, and their own attitudes. In the end, 29.090 veterans, or 57 per cent of those whose cases had been reviewed, were removed from the pension rolls as ineligible under the economy act. ‘‘Under pressure, how T ever, all of these 29,000 veterans have had their names reinstated, largely for political reasons. The American Veterans’ Association, which vigorously is opposing pension scandals, in a paid advertisement in the same issue of Today calls attention to the fact that ‘dead men cast no votes.’ "This veterans' organization also points out in its advertisement that the American Legion has publicly advertised that ‘Legionaires earn double the average income. Legionaires have proved that they are insurance-minded—94 per cent of them were insured for an average amount of $12,050; 84 per cent of them own automobiles.’ ”
