But out of that number only 3.340,000 veterans have actually enrolled for courses and training and have. received benefits. Various veterans’ organizations figure the value of these unused benafis is worth $2 billion. Army, navy, coast quad and marine corps officials estimate that more than 2,500,000 former enlisted men have failed to file their applications for the $507,000,000 worth of terminal leave. According to the law, no claims will be accepted for leave pay after Sept. 1, 1047. Payments are in bonds which mature five years after the date a man left service. But it is believed likely that = bill to provide for an earlier redemption will be passed by congress. —When-—the terminal leave act: was passed last year, congress | set $2,400,000,000 aside to pay for it.
Can’t Forward Checks
The law says no U. 8. government check can be forwarded if the person to whom the check was sent isn't living at the address on the envelope. VA has tried to get the new addresses of -the veterans who *should have received the $64 million worth of checks. When the owner of a. returned
check can’t be found, the check is sent back to the treasury, where it is held for the balanc¥ of that fiscal year

Benefits Last 5 Years
Although the passed-up educalot) benefits will remain usable til five years after war is declared officially over, it is pointed out that many of the yeterans who are passing them up are finding permanent jobs. This means that such benefits will never be used. Experience shows that the longer a veteran puts off
of training the less chance there is that he ever will.
American Legion officials say that the main reason so many veterans have not taken adv¥htage of GI educational and training opportunities is because the nation's schools and colleges are crowded. There isn’t room for them, The general prosperity of the country is given as the reason why veterans have failed to apply for all the terminal leave money due them and why they are riot claiming “the

Three Main Complaints
Roughly, Democrat complaints against Mr, Eichel are these: ONE: That he conspired with Republican Vanderburgh county boss Manson Reichert to help him win renomination for mayor in his own G.O.P. TWO: That he was nelped by Mr Reichert in his own unsuccessful effort to defeat Democratic mayoralty condidate, former Mayor William Dress. THREE: That Vanderburgh coun- |}

Primary Deals Told
Off-the-street gossip in Evansville at the time of the primary last Tuesday was that Eichel supporters, seeing early in the day that Mr, Dress could not be stopped, swung their efforts Republicanward to insure renomination of Mr. Reichert. Democrats in Evansville now feel certain; ‘they say, that Mr. Eichel and that part of the county organization he controls, will support Mr. Reichert for mayor in November.

On Labor Bill
Democrats Predict Presidential Veto
_ WASHINGTON, May 12 (U. P). ~Talk of a presidentia} veto filled the air today as the senate drove toward a final vote on its unioncontrol bill. Democratic leaders predicted
the present one in “toughness.” Republicans were confident they could override a veto if they could nail down the support of 15 of the Democrats expected to vote for pas-
a ator Richard B. Russell (D. Ga.), who favors the present bill, said he would vote to override if Mr. Truman vetoed it. Senator Robert A. Taft (R. 0), chairman of the labor committee, predicted the senate would pass the bill—perhaps -tonight—by the twothirds margin needed to override a
However, Republican Whip Kenneth 8. Wherry doubted a final vote would come before midweek. The legislation produced another exchange between Senator Taft and A. F. of L. President William Green. The A. F. of L. leader denounced both the senate bill and the one passed by the house. He said they were “slave labor” measures that would mean wage cuts for.all workers. Senator ‘Taft said the senate bill was designed merely to get “free bargaining in which neither side has an advantange.” At present, he said, “thousands of small .businessmen are at the mercy of labor,” Other ‘congressional: developments:
Tax Reduction
Despite scattered opposition, the house was expected to go along with the senate finance committee and make proposed income tax reductions effective July 1 instead of retroactive to Jan. 1. The. senate’ has not yet acted on the committee bill. However, both Republicans and Democrats predicted it would go through without major change. The house ways and means committee today , began what promised to be a long and intensive review of the entire federal tax struc corporate, excise
Its aim is to do the ‘necessary spadework now and to have an omnibus tax bill ready to introduce when the second session of the 80th congress convenes next January.
National Lottery Rep. Adolph J. Sabath (D. I.) said he would introduce within a week a bill to authorize a national lottery which he estimates will put $2,500,000,000 a year into the treasury's coffers. He sald it would be a “painless way” to cut taxes and reduce the national debt at the same time.
