CONGRESSMAN WHO LOST LEGS HITS PENSIONS
Rep Miller Leads Fight Against Bill to Increase _:Meterans’ Benefits.
CHARLES T: LUCEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 22.—Rep. William Miller (R. Conn: J, legless Warld War aviator, ‘today announced. his ‘opposition to pension legislation which would increase the ~tiol’s annual half-billion-dollar Lill fof veterans’ benefits by an estimated m minimum of 24 million dolars. > “My . opposition,” Rep. Miller said, “is a matter of principle, and the. principle is just this—should the Federal Government pay. a.pensign to the widow of a veteran who served his country during: the
World War and ‘who suffered no,
; wound, injury or disease and who, in some cases, performed his service on: a college campus?”
The bill would pension World|
War veterans’ widows and dependent zhildren and parents. Iis opponents assert that. in departing - the principle of paying benefits:>only where service-connceted disability is involved, it is a stepping . stone to a general $60-a-month pension - for all veterans; The measure, taken from the Houge, Rules Committee last week, will come. up for a vote next month. Mr. Miller pointed out, in urging Congressmen to study the bill, that the Social Security Act now protects veterans and non-vewerans alike,:and that the act was amended “last year to provide pensions for widows and ‘children of insured workers. In 1924, Mr. Miller showed, Congress granted a $30-a-month pension to World War widows, with additional allowances for children. This. was paid only where the veteran died in service or as a direct result of service-connected disability. A few years later pensions were voted to widows if service.connected disability had amounted to as much as 30 per cent, even ti.ough death were due to another cause. ;
