No additional compensation or pension is payable to a veteran because he has dependents. Compensation or pension is based on a degree of disability and not the number of dependents. Q. Is it true that the government will aid the veteran in paying his interest on a G.I. business loan for the first year? R. p. M., Hastings, bid rill A. Yes. Veterans' administration will pay the lender, for credit to the veterans' loan, an amount equal to 4 per cent of the guaranteed portion of the loan. For examDle. if the guaranteed portion is $3,000, the lender will receive $120 from VA to be applied on the veteran's debt Q. I am a World War II veteran.

What benefits does the disabled veteran receive under public law 16, the vocational rehabilitation program, that are not available to him under the G.I. bill of rights? F. Q. M., Grand Rapids, Mich. A. The disabled veteran receives several additional benefits under act the vocational rehabilitation (public law 16). During his vocaand for two tional, rehabilitation, months after his employability has been established, he receives at least $105 a month if he has no de pendents, or $115 a month if he has a dependent, plus $10 for one child. $7 for each additional child and $15 for a dependent parent.' However, he may receive more than these guaranteed minimums if his dis ability compensation, pension or re tirement pay, plus the standard al lowance of $65 or $90 a month, is higher than the amount guaranteed.

He is receiving government compensation now, but we would like to know whether he would be entitled to receive an increased compensation because of his dependents. G. T.

But little or nothing has been reported of the critical military weaknesses of Russia. She may be an Isolated economic and political power existing behind an iron curtain, but from the military standpoint, she is wide open from the air on three sides, and extremely vulnerable in olL The custom is to regard Russia as unconquerable because of her vast spaces. Hitler's military mistake was In attempting to devour more than he could chew. No one seems to think of Russia's far vaster, outer circumference of defense, which Is really too extensive to be defensible. But these considerations run beyond current military realities. The Russia which has become to aggressive In the world of politics, does not comprise eight million square miles, but the few square miles occupied by its few thousand political leaders, chiefly in few large cities (say Moscow ' and Leningrad). Russia could be effectively isolated in war from the rest of the world without much difficulty. On the other hand, the atomic missile and other bombing rocket threats against her are somewhat dulled by her farflung distribution of Industry (except oil). For our part, defense against use of such missiles Is our most vital necessary concern. We are protected everywhere except In the air. We are protected In every way excepting from atomic possibilities and missiles. In these baskets most of our eggs may now be put. We must think of atomio defense, not offense. We must concentrate on air and missile protection. Questions and Answers Ore. "Mommer, may I bring a couple of friends borne to dinner?" J. J. aesigns. -- fc. WALTER SUE AD the main reasons why veterans are failing to obtain loans under ONE ofO.I. Bill of Rights Is the fact that the POth congress has clipped the power of Reconstruction Finance corporation to purchase these mortgages from banks. The 7s)th congress, which passed the G.l. bill, gave RFC authority to purchase mortgages on homes where the loans had been guaranteed by Veterans' administration under terms of the G.I. bill. The authority under which the RFC purchased these mortgages expired June 30. When the new law was passed by this congress extending the RFC for another year and slashing its loan authority from something like 18 billion dollars Jo two billion dollars, congress not only swept away the only source of small business and small industrial loans but refused to give RFC authority to purchase G.I. home, business and farm mortgage loans. Banks throughout the country, therefore, have no outlet for disposal of these loans and must hold them in their own portfolios, and from all over the country veterans are finding It almost impossible to obtain home loans no matter how well they are armed with letters of eligibility. Sen. John Sparkman of Alabama introduced a bill fr. the last minute rush of congress seeking to extend this authority of the RFC. ta Readjustment allowances led w. ,1 n ... practical.. : i o,Colorful, may be claimed until two years nas icu.l iransier ot It motlii I l!i by lOV inches. after July 25, 1947, or date of ol Our improved Datterni discharge, whichever Is later. e charts and photos u. 00 4.
