Serial- -Who's Guilty"
"We know that there are 650,
000 Texas veterans of World War
II; we know a bo that for these
veterans, Congress provided read-
justment allowances. We know that
the readjustment allowance pro-
gram has been in operation almost
two years. It is a fact that to
<iate only 5,000 of the 650,000
Texas veterans have exhausted
their entitlements. (Many of these
were not entitled to 52 weeks of
allowances because of their short i
period of service.) It is a mathe-j
matical fact that 5,000 is 1-130
of 650,000 or .77 of 1 per cent.
Thus, in two years of operation,
fewer than 1 per cent of the eli-
gible veterans have exhausted
their entitlements. This must evi-
dence an economical condition
much better than even the most
optimistic of the economists and
congressman could have hoped for
If the veterans continued to ex-
haust their benefit rights at the
rate of 2,500 per year, the read
justment allowance program would
have to stay in operation in Texas
for 260 years. We know, of course,
that the program is scheduled t*<
expire 5 years after the official
end of the war. If the official end
of the war is declared soon, it
appears that on 6 to 8 per cent
of our veterans will ever exhau*t
their benefit rights. Congress must,
have expected the program to be
used more than that, or they would
not have panned this legislation.
"I feel that these facts are a
tribute to the veterans as a group
