PENSION BILLS

FACING DELAY

Senate Committee Too Busy Financing Cost of World

War Il, Is View.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan task of drafting a new bill to make

& few billions’ more down-pavments on World War IT will keep Senate Finance Committee so busy that the latest World War I pension bills will be pigeonholed. That is the sub-rosa report of committee sentiment today There are two measures, both of which have passed the House and been reported to the Senate Finance Committee by a subcommittee "without recommendation” The subcommittee was headed by Senator Bennett Champ Clark (D. Mo.), one of the founders of the American Legion. Since the subcommittee reported the committee has been deluged with protests against the bills One bill would restore to $40 a month the basic pension of a disabled World War veteran who served in the Army for as much as 90 days. Veterans reaching the age of 65 would be entitled t similar benefits regardless of ability. In effect, the measure would restore the 810 slashed from World War pensions in 1933. It would cost an estimated $11602,000 in the first year, and much more later The other bill would grant pengions on a graduated scale to widows, children and dependent parents of deceased World War veterans.
