Utah's Senators Support 6 and 50 Modernization Utah's Republican Senators will unite in support f Federal high-way funds which may be used in Utah to modernize U. S. Highway 6 and 50 from Crescent Junction to the Colorado line, Senator Arth-ur V. Watkins reported. Senators Arthur V. Watkins and Wallace F. Bennett suggested that it would be wise pconnmv tn nrp- - pare this east-we- st highway for heavy traffic. Failure to do this, they said, might result in extens-ive damage which would cost a great deal more than currently needed. Secondly, both- senators and Ut-ah Road Commissioner Harley J. Corleissen expressed- - the, view.it hat in the interests of national defense it would be wise to provide Utah with an east-we- highway capable of carrying heavy loads which an ' emergency might necessitate. Under terms of a Watkins' am-endment to the Highway Act of 1950, the Federal government may supply funds for highway, construc-tion on routes that lie wholly with-in the public domain. The fund ap-proved in 1950, $750,000 of which is being use to complete Highway 6 in Utah, has now been expended except for a few thousand dolars, Senator Watkins said. No new appropriation is included in the present appropriation bill for road purposes as provided by the Watkins' amendment of 1950. Senator Watkins and Senator Wal-lace F. Bennett, who conferred with officials of the Bureau of Pub-lic Roads and Commissioner Har-ley J. Corleissen, Utah State Road Commission, said they would seek an appropriation for this purpose. The conferees were unable to dis-cuss the problem with Thomas Mc- Donald, Public Roads Commission-er, because he is visiting Turkey to inspect American participation in the military road construction program in that country. C. D. Curtiss, deputy commission-er of finance and business, and H. E. Hilts, deputy commissioner in charge of designs, Public Roads ad-ministration, indicated to the Sen-ators that the public roads bureau would support a request for these funds and would favorably look upon Utah's needs i'f the money was available.

VA Explains 1952 Dividend On Insurance Veterans Administration is receiv ing many letters and telephone calls from veterans holding Nation-al Service Life insurance policies concerning the recently announced 1952 dividend payments. This dividend, VA explained, is for the policy year from the an-niversary date of the policy in 1951 to the anniversary date in 1952. The "anniversary" date of the policy is actually the policy's "birthday" - - the birthday of the date the policy was originally is-sued, renewed or converted into a permanent plan of insurance. The 1952 dividend will not be due on a policy until that policy's anniver-sary date this year, and it will be several weeks following that an-niversary date before a veteran will receive a check. And, VA emphasized, only those veterans who have written the VA, - - or who write the VA before that anniversary date - - will re-ceive the dividend in cash. A special card, on which a re-quest for cash can be made, has .been mailed to all veterans eligible for the dividend. This oard should be used if available; however, VA said any written and signed re-quest will be acceptable. If the oard or written request for cash is not received by VA, the veteran's dividend will be held by the VA to apply against any future premium the veteran fails to miake, 'following the anniversary dale. The veteran has two other op-tions, VA said. He may request, in writing, that the dividend be held by VA and used to apply oti any premium be specifies, following the anniversary date, or If his policy is a permanent type (like ordinary life or an endow-ment policy - but not on the term plan), he may request, in writing, that the dividend be left with VA at interest, to build up the cash value of his policy. The two points the VA wanted to stress are: . 1. The dividend is not due until its anniversary date, and the vet-eran could not get the cash or have it apply on a premium until AFTER that anniversary date; and 2. The veteran must write the VA if he wants the dividend in cash, if he wants it applied on any particular premium, or if he wants it put to work drawing in-terest. Otherwise, it will be held by VA to apply against any pre-mium the veteran fails to make. Veterans in this area, when writ-ing about their dividend or any ntiher GI insurance matter, should address their letters to: Veterans Administration District Office, Den-ver Federal Center, Denver, Colo.
