WASHINGTON. — Distribution of
$200,000,000 a year by the Federal
Government to the states for medical
aid to low-income citizens was pro-
posed Monday in a bill by four Re-
publican senators.
The four also called for the distri-
bution of money for dental care, with
$8,000,000 proposed for the first year,
and larger amounts each successive
year, up to $20,000,000 in the fourth
year.
State allotments would be made on
a population basis.
In addition, the proposed legisla-
tion would co-ordinate all health
functions of the Federal Government
into a single agency. .
Sponsors of the proposal are Sena-
tors Robert A. Taft of Ohio, H. Alex-
ander Smith of New Jersey, Joseph
H. Ball of Minnesota and Forrest C.
Donnell of Missouri.
The bill was described by Taft as
“fundamentally different” from the
much-debated Murray-Wagner-Din-
gell bill introduced in the last Con-
gress.

out pronto and even old-timer Smith
admitted that the wind was really

VIRGINIA, Minn.—Glen Brace, 3,
rushed home from kindergarten yes-
terday, through the house and out the
back door. He was in a hurry to see
his neighbor’s “puppies.”
He was found dead in the snow a
short time later, the victim of a
neighbor’s six half-grown Doberman
Pinschers who were yapping wildly
around his torn and bitten body. Most
of his clothing had been ripped off.
A. E. Bibbins, the dogs’ owner,
found the body. '

rant said today. “The board natural-
ly felt that our college as a private
institution could care for the educa-
tional requirements of this area.”
“It’s the same old struggle between
public and private institutions,” Dr.
Guerrant declared, but he was posi-
tive in his statement that “Austin
College isn’t going on record as fight-
ing a junior college if the people of
Grayson County want it.”
Dr. Guerrant pointed to the prob-
lem of inadequate teacher salaries
and said that correcting that condi-
tion would require sufficient tax sup-
port without the added burden of an-
other institution.
“We are proud of our large Deni-
son representation in the Austin Col-
lege enrollment,” the prexy declared,
adding that “many of our finest stu-
dents are from that city.”
Non-Profit College
Dr. Guerrant stressed the point
that Austin College is a non-profit
institution, “with every dollar re-
ceived going directly back into edu-
cation.” He pointed with pride to the
school’s academic standing, explain-
Guer- ing it was accredited by all recog-
Q.—Is it true that the maximum
fee for the services of an attendant
for a disabled veteran has been
changed?
Yes. Previously the maximum fee
was $5 for attendant service for 24
hours and fractional rates for periods
of service less than 24 hours. How-
ever, since Jan. 1, 1947, the maximum
fee for attendant service has been $8
for 24 hours; $5 for the first 8 hours,
$1.50 for the next 8 hours and $8 for
any period over 16 hours.
Q.—I am a veteran with a service
connected disability. Does Veterans
Administration hire disabled veterans
for work in its offices?
A.—Yes. It is the policy of Veter-
ans Administration to employ dis-
abled veterans and other physically
impaired persons whenever possible.
Q. — Do Veterans Administration
chaplains report to their respective
churches and are the reports official
VA statements?
A.—VA chaplains in their capaci-
ties as ministers, priests and rabbis
may forward direct reports to their
denominations. In each case, this is
personal report and not an official
VA statement or report.
Q.—My first husband was killed in
World War II and I remarried. I di-
vorced my second husband and now
would like to know if my widow’s
pension can be reinstated?
A. — Existing legislation provides
that compensation or pension shall
not be allowed to a widow of a World
War II veteran who has remarried.
Her status cannot be changed if she
is divorced.

SHERMAN. — Spiking an earlier
report that Austin College had in-
dorsed the proposal, the board of
trustees of the Sherman school Tues-
day adopted a resolution discouraging
the proposed establishment of a jun-
ior college in Grayson County as an
unwarranted detriment to Austin
College, according to Dr. W. B. Guer-
rant, president of the college.
The action followed publication of
a letter from Rep. Roger Q. Evans, a
proponent of the junior college idea,
which said that Austin College
spokesmen had favored the plan as a
benefit rather than a detriment to
that school.
Knew Nothing of Letter
“No member of our board knew
anything of any indorsement of the
junior college proposal,” Dr.
W. T. FRANCIS
Funeral services for W. T. Francis,
78, pioneer Tom Bean citizen, were
held at 2 p. m. Saturday at the Tom
Bean Baptist Church, conducted by
the pastor, Rev. David Griffin, as-
sisted by Rev. W. J. Epting of Sher-
man. Burial services were at the
White Mound Cemetery.
Mr. Francis was born near Van
Alstyne December 23, 1868. He had
been in the furniture and undertak-
ing business at Tom Bean for 32
years.
He is survived by his wife, one son,
Luther Francis of Stillwater, Okla.,
and five daughters, Mrs. H. H.
Phares of Sherman, Mrs. W. E. Pen-
nell of Whitewright, Mrs. Culbertson
Flint, Oklahoma City, Mrs. Annie
McComb, Denver, Colo., and Mrs. E.
H. Gant of Tom Bean.
More than half of the 93,918 pa-
tients hospitalized by Veterans Ad-
ministration are veterans of wars
other than World War II.

Glenn Warren, 24, of Llano Esta-
cado, Texas, a rodeo performer be-
fore he entered the Army, is one of

was torn away by a German bazooka
shell during an assault on a position
in the Siegfried Line. Under Veter-
ans Administration supervision, War-
ren is now training in Houston to be-
come a newspaper circulation man-
ager. He has already worked up to
the position of district circulation
