Qitilitii ud Aiiwtti
Q. I am a World War II vet-
cran and would like to know how
much an attorney who represent!
mc in my claim for compensation
or pension against the Veterans
Administration is permitted to
charge.
A. If the attorney is admitted
to practice before the VA he may
receive $10 in an original claim or
i in a claim for increase in com
pensation or pension provided the
claim is allowed. These fees arc
paid by VA and deducted from the
monetary benefit awarded the
claimant.
Q. I have been granted admis-
sion to a Veterans Admininstration
domiciliary home and now would
like to know if it is possible for me
to take my wife with me to stay at
the Home?
A. No. The law docs not per-
mit the wives of servicemen to
be admitted to any domicilary homo
of the Veterans Administration.
Q. How do I calculate the period
of eligibility time consumed while
I am taking a correspondence
course under the G-I Bill?
A. One-fourth of the elapsed
time in following your correspon-
dence course will be charged
against your period on entitlement.
Q. If I ame hospitalized in a
Veterans Administration Hospital
must the benefits from my hospi-
talization insurance policy be as-
signed to VA?
A. If treatment is rendered for
a non-service-connected disability
the amount of the policy that pro-
vides for hospitalization expenses
must be assigned to Veterans Ad-
ministration. If the policy provides
for stipulated amounts for the per-
iod of disablement it is not neces-
sary that it be assigned.

Only veterans in schools colleges
and universities pursuing full-time
courses of education will be entitled
to increased subsistence allowan-
ces under a law signed Saturday
by President Truman the Waco
Veterans Administration office said
today.
Part-time students on-the-job
trainees and others will not be en-
titled to the increases the VA rul-
ing held. The bill signed into law
S. 1304 amends the Servicemen's
Readjustment Act (G-I Bill) and
the Vocational Rehabilitation Act
(Public Law 10) for the disabled.
The new payments will be at the
monthly rate of 75 dollars for n
veteran without dependents 105
dollars for a veteran with one de-
pendent and 120 dollars for a vet-
eran with one dependent and 120
dollars for a veteran with more
than one dependent.
The higher rates are applicable
to periods of training on and after
April 1. However since subsis-
tence allowance checks are not due
until the end of the month in
which the veteran is in training
most of the eligible veteran-stu
dents will receive their first checks
at the higher rates on or shortly
after May 1.
Veterans taking any of the fol
lowing types of training are not
entitled to the increases but will
continue to receive subsistence pay-
ments at the old rates' of 05 dollars
a month for those without depend-
ents and 00 dollars for those with
dependents:
1. Part-time institutional train-
ing 2. Institutional on-the-farm
training.
3. Apprenticeship or other on-tho-iob
training for which veterans
receive compensation for productive
labor.
4. Combination or cooperative
training in which students attend
school part time and aro employed
part time usually In a related field.
5. Internship and residency train-
ing. 6. Graduate training under a fel
lowship requiring a reduced credit
course-load because of services ren-
dered under provisions of the fel-
lowship. Eligible veterans now in school
who are entitled to 75 dollars or
105 dollars under the new rates will
not have to apply for the increased
allowances. Existing applications
will supply all the information
needed to pay the new benoflts
These veterans therefore need not
write VA at the present time con-
cerning their Increases.
Veteran-trainees entitled to 120
dollars because they have more

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO GET
80 LATE HO EARLY?
To keep good-will with him whcti
I get home
I Just must play with Mike upon
the floor.
The bout of wrestling with my Hon
- each night;
To some would seem n tiresome
task and bore
But ends my day with huppinrsn
supreme.
And when ho Bleeps though I am
spent nnil sore
My arms arc empty but my heart
is full.

DREAMS
Of all the mugic dreams that have
been dreamed
Of all the guyest thoughts that
huvc been thought
None can be so enchanting as my
dreams of you
None can be so .unearthly beautiful
as my thoughts of you.
But can these jlieums thut come
ugaln and yet again
Return to mc your huppy presence
oh so fair?
Will all those thoughts bring back
your face so dear?
The answer to those questions now
can only be
That though I dream and think al-
ways they can not e'er come true.

FRIENDS
The folks that make you happy and
content
The ones who make you feel your
life's worthwhile
The ones who say your life has been
well spent
The ones who say keep plugging
all the while
And help you when the going gets
so rough
You think you can't succeed or bear
the climb
And then when you think you have
had enough
They seem to give you power to
rise and shine
These folks can always bo regarded
as your friends.

PREJUDICE
Why do people like me and you
Take out our wrath on o little flea'.'
Fleas bite lltle; dogs bite big;
A flea smells good compared to a
pig.
This being true why is it still
The flea's the one we always kill?
You say the flen jumps around too
much?
Well so do rubbits.and frogs and
such.
But do we squash them for the way
they uct?
No we don't and that's a fact!
Now society protects the dogs and
you and mc
So why not somethin' to protect
the flea?
I call for a law enforced by state
To save the flea from his present
fate.
than one dependent will bo required
to submit information about their
additional dependents before pay-
ments at the new rate can be made.
In the case of dependent children
photostats or certified copies of
their blth certificates will bo nee
cssary. In the case of dependent
parents evidenco of actual depend
ency must bo submitted.
If veterans now in training sub-
mit evidenco of dependency prior to
July 1 1048 they will receive re-
troactive payments at the new rates
back to April 1 1048.

SNOWFALL
When snow fulls on the barren
earth below
It lays a blanket deep and white
und still
Now hushed arc traffic noise and
ordinary din
And lost in thick white fog the
common sights and sounds.
White snow is covering nil with
beauty pure
And where un hour ago was ugh-1
ncss
Now only graceful soft white
shapes are seen.

SLUMBER
The gentle rain that's fallin on the
roof
Makes slumber deep and sweet be-
yond all cure.
A sound that's steady rhythmical
aloof
A soothing drug that makes one
unaware
Of fretful days that sell their
troublous ware.
The winds a dulcet symphony
that's played
In careless tempo with a pleasing
nir.
In drcums' vast empty corridors wo
find
The broken jumbled jig-saw pieces
of tho mind.

AN APOLOGY TO SPENSER '
MalOh geutle poet loved Muses
Nine
Malice is not within the cup I hold.
'Tis not your force compels this
paltry rhyme
But circumstance beyond our joint
control
For such things are required to
reach the goal.
No slave has e'er produced a work
that's fit
For casting in this selfsame hal-
lowed mold.
Survive I must so enter in the pit
And in despuir this graceless sacri-
lege commit.
