Start Machinery For Payment Os Veterans Bonus Another chapter in Indiana’s history was written today as .wheels of the mammoth bonus to Indiana veterans of World War 11. Governor Henry F. Schricker, who signed the 1949 General Assembly’s bonus act into law, drew the first application from a mail bag today at the headquarters of the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs, administrators of the bonus, in the World War Memorial Building on North Meridan Street, Indianapolis. The first application drawn by the governor was from Daniel Holom. 28-yearlold former army private, winner of 2 bronze stars and holder of the Purple Heart. Hammond, Ind. Holom served in the Normandy and North*'-’’ France campaigns. Although there is no reasc ' rush in making the applica ’ since the deadline is not v.Dec. 31. 1950. it was evident today 'that the bonus machinery will be swamped for several weeks due to the huge overflow of applications during the first few days.. No bonus payment can be made until such time as there are sufficient funds accumulated through the increased gross income tax collection to pay all the claims at one time. Various estimates place this approximate date in 1954. Os the few applications already opened today some were found to contain photostatic copies of their original discharge papers, which are not acceptable. Also some envelopes even failed to contain any discharge papers. AH veterans were warned by bonus officials that the original discharge or separation papers must accompany all applications for the bonus papers. Bonus administration officials also emphasized today that application blanks are not available at their hedquarters for individual veterans. Hundreds of veterans had applied during the day at the War Memorial Building seeking application blanks. This praced-* ure will only slow up the bonus administration since all its operation is being done by mail and no applicaton blanks are being furnished to individuals. Veterans were reminded that applications must be secured from the various organizations in his own community and then mailed to the Bonus Headquar ters. when completed, by fin class mail only. Registered ma greatly retards the. entire bone operation and serves no useft purpose for the veteran, it was pointed out, since each individual piece of mail has to be signed for. First class mail is just - safe as registered mail and be processed much faster.
