DENISON.—Directors of the Re-

should be stopped.”

ued, have been asked to contribute
gifts to organizations in cities 50
miles away. In other instances, they
have had repeated requests, up to
five times in a single month, from
local organizations.

til changes are made in the system,
the Department of Employment Se-
curity reports.
The cash sickness program’s only
source of income now is a 1 percent
levy on the wages of Rhode Island
workers up to a maximum of $30 a
year for each individual.
The special report points out that
a levy of 1% percent is necessary,
other things being equal, to make the
program self-sustaining, if the pres-
ent scale of benefit payments is
maintained.
Last year the program took in |
$5,373,510 and paid out $5,839,554. j
The program thus had to dip into its
reserves which now stand at $34,-

Q.—Can you tell me what type of
evidence I should submit to VA in or-
der to apply for death pension bene-
fits? My husband, a World War I
veteran, died recently, but not of
service-connected causes.
A.—You- should submit 1
your husband’s death; complete in- i
formation as to your annual income,;
and proof of your marriage to your
late .husband. If either you or your
husband had been married previous-
ly, you also should’ submit proof that
the earlier marriages were legally
dissolved.
Q.—I started to school under the
GI Bill a month ago. I just learned
that my school, through oversight,
had not yet returned my certificate of
eligibility to VA. Meanwhile, I never
received subsistence and my tuition
hasn’t been paid. If the school sends
the certificate to VA now, will I get
back subsistence and will the school
get back tuition?
A.—So long as the school sends the
certificate back to VA within 90 days
of the date of receipt, VA will consid-
er that date of receipt as the date of
your entrance into training. Subsis-
tence and tuition payments will be-
gin as of that time.
Q.—Is there any limit to the
amount of money I can borrow from
a private lender under the GI Bill?
A.—No. The GI Bill limit is on the
amount of VA’s guaranty of the loan,
and not on the amount of the loan it-
self.
Q.—I am a World War I veteran
and I have a $10,000 U. S. Govern-
ment Life Insurance policy. I am
thinking of turning $5,000 of it in for
cash. If I do so, and later change my
mind, will I be able to reinstate the
cashed-in $5,000.
A.—No. Under the law, U. S. Gov-
ernment Life Insurance surrendered
for cash may not be reinstated. How-
ever, before you take any steps to
surrender your policy, you should
write to the Office of Insurance, Vet-
erans Administration, Washington 25,
D. C., and ask what courses of action
are open to you under your insurance
contract that would preserve your
valuable reinstatement rights.
Q.—I am a serviceman holding a
$5,000 National Service Life Insur-" bred.”

ance policy. If I go overseas, is my
insurance automatically increased to’
$10,000, or must I apply for the addi-
tional amount if I want it?
A.—You .must apply with your
unit’s insurance officer. The in-
crease is not granted automatically
under present laws.
Q-—I intend to take GI Bill flight
training, and I need affidavits from
two “competent, disinterested per-
sons” stating the training will be put
to bona fide use in connection with
my job. May my employer submit
proof of one °f the affidavits, even though he
i --- , isn’t necessarily a “disinterested”"
' person?
A.—Yes, so long as he can testify,
by reason of personal knowledge and
facts, that the flight training will be
used in connection with your earning
a livelihood.
Q.—As a disabled veteran training
under Public Law 16, I’ve been able
to get along nicely on my subsistence
allowance and disability compensa-
tion pay until last month, when my
wife had to have an operation. Is
there any way I can get a small loan
to help pay hospital expenses?
A.—VA maintains a Vocational
Rehabilitation Revolving Fund, from
which you may borrow up to $100.
No interest is charged on the loans-
You may apply for such a loan at
your VA regional office.

COLLEGE STATION.—Regardless
of the price of dairy products, profit
from a milk cow is closely related to
her level of production. The truth
in this statement is verified by the
yearly analyses of Dairy Herd Im-
provement Association records.
A study of Texas DHIA records for
1949 shows that, if a cow is to pay
for her keep, she must produce ap-
proximately 200 pounds of butterfat
per year. As the level of production
increases above 200 pounds, the prof-
it per pound of butterfat increases.
A. M. Meekma, assistant dairy hus-
bandman for the Texas A&M Exten-
sion Service, says that this greater
profit at higher levels of production
is due to the wider spread between
feed costs and the value of the prod-
uce. Feed costs increase as produc-
tion increases, but at a lower rate.
Cows which produced 224 pounds
of butterfat and less returned an
average of $2.17 worth of milk for
each dollar’s worth of feed they con-
sumed. Since feed costs make up 50 .
percent of the cost of producing milk,
the dairymen barely broke even on
these low producers. An average of
71 cents worth of feed was required
for each pound of butterfat produced
by these cows.
At the other extreme of production
in Texas DHIA herds, 475 pounds
and over, butterfat was produced at
a feed cost of only 39 cents per
pound. These high producers re-
turned $3.58 worth of milk for each
dollar’s worth of feed consumed.
Cows producing at the 224 pound
level returned $164 above the cost of
feed, while those producing 475
pounds returned $497 above feed
costs.
Although some of the lower pro-
ducers may not possess the ability to
produce at a high level, Meekma says
that many dairy cows probably could
have done better if they had received
better feed and management.
Each cow has a limit beyond which
she cannot efficiently produce, and
Meekma reminds dairymen that
DHIA records can be used as the ba-
sis for removing the inefficient pro-
ducers from the herd.
2 Senators’ Help
$115,000 Yearly
WASHINGTON.—If cost the Fed-
eral Government nearly $115,000 last
; fiscal year to keep the two U. S. sen-
ators from Texas supplied with cler-
ical help in their offices.
From July 1, 1949, until June 30,
1950, the Senate allocated $55,136.31
to pay the federal help in the office
of Senator Tom Connally. Over the
same period, it allocated $59,666.21
1 to pay the clerical help in the office
of Senator Lyndon Johnson. In the
last quarter of the last fiscal year,
Johnson had 18 on his staff, and Con-
nally had 15.
In addition, Connally had a special
; staff for the Foreign Relations Com-
mittee of which he is chairman, and
Johnson now has a special staff for
the Senate Preparedness Sub-Com-
mittee of which he is the head.
These payroll figures are shown in
the just-published annual report of
the Secretary of the Senate, Leslie
Biffle, covering the last fiscal year.
