Jenner Gets Disability Pay B While Senator

Denies Federal -/ | Law Violated |

Indiana's Sen. William E. Jenner has drawn $172-a-| month “disability-retirement”

compensation from the feder-' al government since 1044 while | serving as a member of Congress, | at was revealed today.

Sen. Jenner said it was paid since his retirement as an Army Air Corps captain after an infection destroyed the sight of one eye and threatened the other.

“I might still go blind at any: time,” he said. “I have been under! treatment for recurrences of the + trouble twice recently.”

Denies Violation

He denied that acceptance of | the pay by him violated the federal dual-compensation act of

holding a federal post to accept a |: commissioned officer's retirement pay when the federal compensation exceeds $3000 a year unless his disability is incurred in combat as a direct result of enemy action. His Senate salary is $15,000 a year.

Sen. Jenner's disability was a| result of infection, while on duty in England during World War II. After extensive hospitalization in England he was returned to this country for further treatment in hospitals here.

Veterans Administration records show he was retired on Oct. 7, 1944, and retirement compensation started on- Oct. 8 at $172.50 a month and continued through July, 1950.

Transferred to Army

At that time, under a change in the law, it was transferred to the Army. In July of this year the Air Force formed its own finance department and took over the case. The amount is the standard compensation for a captain retired because of disability. The Air Force Finance Department in Denver said today it planned to contact Sem. Jenner in regard to the possibility of his
