Deadline Dates
On GI Benefits
Given Veterans
Veterans Administration today
issued a checklist oT deadline
dates before which eligible veter-
ans of the Korean conflict period
must act if they wish to take ad-
vantage of certain benefits.
Most of the deadlines resulted
from the President’s proclamation
setting January 31, 1955 as the
end of the Korean conflict period
governing eligibility for the bene-
fits. The conflict period began
June 27, 1950.
One of the most important
deadlines not affected by the
President’s proclamation requires
that eligible veterans who wish to
go to school or train under the
Korean GI Bill must start train-
ing Within three years after they
leave service or forfeit all further
rights to the benefits.
This requirement is contained
in the law itself and, therefore,

was not affected by the Presi-
dent’s proclamation.
Those who start their education
or training within the required
three-year period must complete
their Korean GI Bill Training by
January 31, 1963, or eight years
after discharge whichever is ear-
lier. The Terminating date of Jan-
uary 31,, 1963 resulted from the
President’s proclamation.'
For GI loans or homes, farms
or businesses, elegible veterans of
the Korean conflict period now
have until January 31, 1965 to re-
ceive a VA guaranty or insur-
ance as a result of the President's
proclamation. No further guaran-
ties or insurance may be issued
after that date on loans made to
veterans under the present law.
For vocational rehablitation un-
der Public Law 894, eligible dis-
abled veterans ofthe Korean con-
flict period must start in time to
finish their rehabilitation by Jan-
uary 31, 1964, or nine years after
separation, whichever is earlier.
These termination dates apply
to all eligible veterans except
those in certain “hardship” cate-
gories. For the latter, an addi-
tional four years is granted by
law in which to complete their re-
habilitation.
For a $1,600 grant toward the
purchase of an automobile or oth-
er conveyance, seriously disabled
veterans of the Korean conflict
who are eligible must apply for
the grant within three years after
the leave service or forfeit the
benefit.
For this benefit, the President’s
proclamation merely set January
31, 1955 as the end of the Korean
conflict period during which eligi-
bility for the giant may be estab-
lished. This means the injuries
covered'by the- law -must-be sus-
tained in active service on or be-
fore that date.
No application deadlines prevail
for the other VA-administered
benefits affected by the Presi-
dent's proclamation. These bene-
fits for eligible veterans of the
Korean conflict period on a war-
time basis are:
—Hospitalization and domicili-
ary care for nonservice-connect-
ed disabilities.
— Compensation for- service-
connected disabilities or death at
wartime rates.
—Pension for total and perm-
anent nonservice-connected dis-
abilities or death.
— Reimbursement ,of burial ex-
penses and a flag to drape the
casket.
The President’s proclamation did
change the deadlines previously
established by Congressional ac-
tion for certain benefits available
to eligible World War II veterans.
These benefits and the applic-
able deadlines are: —:—
World War II GI Bill education
or training — For those now in
training, no additional training
may ; be afforded after July 25,
1950, except for veterans who
may have additional training time
under1 the Aimed Forces Volun-
tary Recruitment Act of 1946. '
Vocational Rehabilitation under
Public Law 16 — In general, no
training based on World War II
service may be afforded beyond
July 25, 1956, except for certain
hardship cases who are grunted an
additional four years in which to
train. ,
World W’ar II GI Bill loans for
homes, fane or businesses — No
guaranty or insurance will be
available o(p loans made eligible
World War II veterans after July
25, 1957, except for those who
have established a latter termi-
nal date unde/r th Aimed Forces---
Voluntary Recruitment Act of
1945. ' ,
By H.l A. SCHENDQRF
Washington tffl — Behind Pres-
ident Eisenhower’s recommenda-
tion that we build more than 100
billion dollars worth of new roads
are these signs of sickness in our
highway system:
In 1919, three-quarters of all
of the retail business in Los An-
geles County was done in the
downtown business i district By
1950, that* figgre was down .to 35
per cent.
Th4 reason: Traffic jams and a
lack of through highway arteries.
Today, retail business is still
fleeing the business district to get
out where the customers are, to-
day, only 29 pet cent of the retail
business of Los Angeles County is
done in the downtown business
section.
The same thing is happening to
Dallas, Texas.
The retail business in the me-
tropolitan area has jumped from
226 millions to 837 million dol-
lars a year since the war. But the
amount of retail business done
in the Dallas business district re-
mains 170 million dollars.
. The nation’s largest city—New
York—finds itself slowly strang-
ling for lack of highways.
In 1925, for instance, the pop-
ulation of the New York metro-
politan area was about 10 million
people. There was traffic conges-
tion then. • a • '
Today, the metropolitan area
population is up to about 15 mil-
lions.
By 1975, about 10 million peo-
ple are expected to be living in
and around New York.
By 1975, the United States is
expected to have a population of
between 200 and 220 million peo-
ple, 30 per cent more than at pres-
ent.
In New York, two public bodies
have reommended a bridge and
highway expansion to cost 370 mil-
lion dollars during the next five
years.
Not only is the population of
nation growing, but the number of
cars is increasing even faster.
It is estimated that by 1975,
people will be earning about 30
per cent more than they arc now
in real wages. Advances in engi-
neering and production techniques
may make cars not only better but
comparatively cheaper.
America now has 58 million cars
and trucks on the road. About, five
million new ones are being turn-
ed out every year.
In Harris county, which includes
Houston, Texas, auto registrations
jumped from 200,000 in 1947 to
400,000 last year.
In 1947, buses in Harris County
carried 106 million passengers.
Buses alleviate the traffic prob-
lem, because one vehicle can carry
mor^ people. But in 1954, fewer
people apparently were riding the
buses and more were driving their
cars in Mouston. The buses were
carrying only 65 million passen-
gers—a decline of 41 millions.
A new trend has been taking
people into the suburbs, out of the
big cities, of late. Yet, studies
show that people still like to shop
“downtown” if they can get there.
They like the massing of goods
for better choice. They need more
speedways to carry them into the
heart of the city.
On the national level, business
is tending to disperse, in search
of the best available operating
conditions'. On the policy level, the
federal government is encourag-
ing defense plants to scatter, to
make them the smallest possible
targets for attack.
All these things, and more, have
multiplied the nation’s need for
more and better highways, thru-
ways, expressways, speedways "and
just plain city streets; • ,
TEXAS
LAUGHS
By
Boyce House
In the South Central portion
of Texas, there are counties heav-
ily populated by citizens of Teu-
tonic descent. Naturally, they are
fond of beer. Two of the citizens
were talking about a young law-
yer who had moved into the coun-
ty a year before and had recently
announced forvcounty judge.
“Are you going to vote for
him?” one asked. ,
“I don’t know,” the other said,
doubtfully. “I hear he is a pro-
hibitionist.”
“About that I don’t know,” the
first man replied, “but he was at
our picnic the other day and he
got drunk.”
“Oh," said the other, his face
brightening, ‘‘that speaks well for
the young man! I may vote for
him.”
