No New Insurance For 10 Million Gls

Truman to Sign Bill in Few Days

By United Press

| WASHINGTON, Apr. 17 |About 10¥million World War II

veterans will lose the right to take

gress last week, is awaiting Mr. {Truman's signature. He is ex{pected to approve the bill in the {next few days. |" The American Legion today jurged ex-GIs to apply for the ‘insurance quickly, | The most widely publicized features of the bill will provide $10,000 worth of freé insurance for servicemen while they are on active duty, and for 120 days after they leave service. But the measure also Will cut off all future rights to National Service Life Insurance (NSL]) for veterans,who let their World |War II insurance policies expire. The Veterans Administration said about 10 million former Gls would be affected by this provision. Many of these veterans had been counting on taking out insurance at one time or another, a

privilege written into the NSLI act when it was adopted. Under its provisions, World.

War II veterans were permitted to buy new government insurance at. any time after leaving the service provided they could pass the necessary physical examination. The new measure will end this right. However. the bill does permit veterans who already have World War II insurance to renew ijt indefinitely.

Emergency Police Requirements Cut

Plans to reduce physical requirements and other standards for police apply only to emiergency patrolmen, Safety Board President Leroy J. Keach said today. The proposal to trim standards for emergency police has been under discussion by the Safety Board for several weeks. Hiring of at least 75 policemen and 16 ‘policewomen has been proposed by Mayor Bayt to meet existing manpower shortages in the department. At present, the department is short of its authorized strength by 106 men and women. Appointment of 16 emergency policewomen is scheduled for tomorrow’s meeting of the Safety, Board. Most of these will be assigned to duty with the Juvenile Aid Division. Emergency patrolmen are hired and fired at the discretion of the Safety Board. Mr. Keach emphasized. They are not eligible ‘for the pension fund and are not required to meet qualifications set up by the state merit law.

Ober Pledges Aid In Convention Drive

A drive to bring new dollars to Indianapolis was pledged by Ceril 8. (Cy) Ober, candidate for the GOP mayoralty nomination, in a campaign speech at 3216 Park Ave. last night. He proposed active participation by the City administration in bringing conventions to Indianapolis. Mr. Ober said if elected Mayor he would appear before organizations in other cities urging them to make Indianapolis their convention site. He said the average convention visitor spends $7.06 during his stay here and that a comparatively small convention of 1000 delegates would bring $7,000 extra revenues for the city's commerce.

Hoosiers Urge Firing Of Acheson, Marshall

By DAN KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Apr. 17 - Hoosigr Republicans polled today are not for declaring war on Red China, although that first was suggested in a speech some weeks ago by Sen. William E. Jenner (R. Ind.). Both Sen. Harry P, Cain (R. Wash.) and freshman Rep. O. K. Armstrong (R. Mo.) have stated they intend introducing resolutions for such a war declaration. But the GOP leadership is expected to have the mcooled off before the matter reaches the point of a roll call in either the Senate or House,

Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R. Ind.), who just returned from the state, said he certainly would not| support any war declaration at this time.

Ross Adair (Ft. Wayne), introduced one yesterdav to fire Mr. Acheson and favor Gen. MacArthur. Neither is expected to be acted on. Mr. Adair was pesitive today in his opposition to the Armstrong proposal for a declaration of war. “Too Late to Declare War’

“It is too late to declare war.” Mr. Adair said. Congress should have been asked to act before we went into Korea.” The deluge of mail and telegrams from the Third District caused him to frame his resolution; ‘Mr. Crumpacker said. But he offered no comment on the declaration of war, except “we will cross that bridge when we come to it.” “Dean Acheson should be dismissed before he completes his sellout to the British foreign office.” Mr. Crumpacker said. “Gen. Marshall should be removed before his military blunders can further jeopardize the lives of our troops fignting in Korea.”

Hiser to Surrender, Muncie Police Told

By United Press MUNCIE, Apr. 17T— Former Blackford County Treasurer Lester Hiser, central figure in one of Indiana's strangest missing persons cases, was the subject of a widespread search by Muncie police today. Mrs. Marcia Hiser, whose husband disappeared more than six months ago leaving a $9713 shortage in his tax books, said he telephoned her at their Hartford City home and said he planned to surrender to Muncie authorities. However, police said Hiser had not given himself up, although employees at the railroad station where the Hartford City call was made identified him from a picture.
