My son enlisted in the army on his 17th birthday anniversary much against the wishes of myself and my husband. He tried to get into the navy but was rejected because of his hearing. He is almost entirely deaf and when the weather is cold his hearing is worse. He now is stationed in Alaska and he writes that his ears are continually bothering him and he has been confined to the hospital several times. When he was home I took him to a specialist, who Informed me that a very delicate operation might help but that he was doubtful. I would like to get my son out of the army on account of his health and also I need his aid financially, with the rising cost of living I cannot get along on our present income. What measures can I take in order to get my son home? Mrs. E. B., Tinley Park, 111. A. You might initiate a procedure to obtain his release due to his age, in .which case write full details to the Office of the Adjutant General, War department, Washington 25, D. C. Or your son might ask for a discharge on the theory that his is a hardship case or he might ask for a medical discharge, in both instances the petition to be filed with his commanding officer. Q. I am si veteran of World War I. Can you tell me under what conditions and at what rates I can obtain compensation for d J. H. B., Selma, disability? Ala. A. The law provides that compensation may be paid for disability incurred in or aggravated by active, service in line of duty ac cording to the degrea of disability Shown. Rates may range anywhere from $9.28 to $360 per month and compensation for each case is determined by Veterans' administration on the basis of the degree of disability. Compensation is not payable if the disability is the result of the veteran's own willful misconduct or where discharge is other than honorable. Consult your nearest Veterans', administration office. Q.' Our son died while he was overseas and in the service of his country. As we are his parents and only survivors, are we entitled to musteringM)ut pay which he would have received upon his discharge from the service? Will we be en titled to any tonus that he would have received if he would have lived? N. E. L. Norway, Mich. 1. 'A, No, you are not entitled to mustering-ou- t pay since this is paid only to servicemen upon their dis charge from the service. Congress has not voted a bonus for veterans of World War II. Generally you would be entitled to any back pay, six "months gratuity pay and a monthly pension if you are depend ent parents. Also you would be en titled to his insurance. Q. I am a veteran of World War I and 1 would like to know where I should write for what rights the First World war veterans have as to a pension for his wife and children, rights in case of his death.
