“THE HOUSE SERVICE BUILT”
100 000 Georgia Veter
ans Affected by Ex
pense Cut; 12,000
Taken From Rolls
By the Associated Press
, About 12,000 Georgians now receiv
ing disability allowances from the
government will be eliminated entirely
from the rolls, and approximately
100.000 Georgia veterans will be af
fected in greater or less degree by
the new schedule of veterans’ bene
fits announced by President Roosevelt,
it was estimated by W. A. Sirmon,
adjutant of the Georgia Department
American Legion.
He said the number Of those eligible
for hospital service would be cut from
the present 100,000 to about 12,000, a
reduction of almost 90 per cent.
The new rules limit hospital service
to veterans suffering from service
connected disabilities, and those to
tally disabled from non-service causes,
Sirmon said there werff about 9,000
Georgians suffering from service-con
nected disabilities and about 3.000 to
tally disabled from non-service causes.
Approximately 25,000 persons in the
state are now receiving either com
pensation for service-connected disa
bilities, or disability allowances for
other causes, the Legion adjutant said.
The new rules provide allowances
for non-service disabilities only when
they are total and permanent, which
provision Sirmon said would eliminate
the 12,000. The remaining 13,000 of
those receiving payments will be af
fected by fhe changes in ratings and
compensation schediles.
Sirmon said as many as 1,000 per
sons in this state might be affected !
by provisions permitting the govern- j
ment to challenge and rebut presum
ptive service connection of disabilities
He estimated also that 3,000 widows
and other dependents of World War
veterans would he affected in Geor
gia. and that the changes in rules for
Spanish-American War Veterans’ bene
fits would apply to about 2,500 per
sons in the state.
“We all Know that there have been
certain abuses of the veterans’ com
pensation law's,” Sirmon said, “and
while I expect some reaction to these
new' regulations, there will be little
hue and cry for reinstatement on the
compensation rolls of persons whose
physical condition did not warrant
their being there in the first place.
“However, new rules necessarily
prepared as hurriedly as these have
been are bound to work hardships
and injustices in certain cases and
there no doubt will be strong efforts
for reinstatement of cases singled out
as deserving.
“The Legion has taken the position
that it will stand by the President in
his economy efforts.
"He is in much the same position
as General Pershing was in 1918 when
he planned the Argonne Drive. The
general estimated the cost of that
drive at 100,000 lives. He did not want
to have 100,000 men killed, but in its
relation to the purpose of his w'hole
campaign he found the cost of the
drive justified.
“In this economy campaign the
President similarly finds it necessary
to require certain sacrifices. The men
will take it on the chin because it is
necessary, just as in 1918.”

NEW VETS RATES
ARE COMPARED
WITH OLD
WASHINGTON, April I—(AP) War
time service-connected disabilities un
der President Roosevelt’s executive or
der cutting veteran benefits compared
with former monthly rates as follows:
Disability
Percentage New Rates Old Rates
10 $ 8 $ 10
25 20 25
50 40 50
75 CO 75
100 80 100
Under the new disability schedule,
only the five rates of disability are
provided, compared with intermediate
ratings on the old schedule.
Thus, under the old schedule a man
♦.light have been said to be 41 per
cent disable'd and be awarded s4l a
month.
There were four rates under the
former system for allowances for non
service connected disabilities w r ere 25
per cent disabled, sl2; 50 per cent,
$18; 75 per cent, $24; and 100 per cent
S4O.
Under the new regulations, this type
of disability is limited to those per
manently and totally disabled, who
would receive S2O a month.
In the service-connected disabilities
as under the old regulations, special
consideration and allowances are ac
corded those blinded in the war or
suffering other similar serious disabil
ities.
The reduction in rates for service
connected disabilities is a flat 20 per
cent cut.
CROP LOAN APPLI
CATION FORMS.
STILL AVAILABLE
Mr. Freeman of the Crop Production
Loan Office emphasizes that farmers
who still wish to apply for loans may
get application blanks from him, as
well as help on making the application
The law forbids any charge being
made for help in the preparation of
the loan applications, but such fees
as that of a notary, for recording, etc.,
are allowed.
A loan may not be approved for the
amount applied for, and if it is reduc
ed, the proper reduction will be made
on the forms filled out at the time the
application is made. In the event that
the loan is not approved, the note and
mortgage will be returned to the appli
cant, the application and voucher
being retained by the C. P. L. office.
The loans this year are not only
limited to S3OO, but the regulations
require that borrowers reduce the
acreage of their cash crops 30 per cent
under that grown in 1932, except grow
ers who farm very limited acreages.
The regulations provide a fine of up
to SI,OOO and imprisonment up to six
months for material false represen
tations made to get a loan.
As in the past, the borrower must
give a first ilen on his crop. Loans
bear interest at 5 1-2 per cent and are
due on or before October 31, 1933. No
loan in excess of SIOO will be made to
any applicant who is in arrears on as
many as two previous loans made by
the Secretary of Agriculture.
The regulations make it unlawful
for any person to dispose of or assist
in disposing of any crops given as
security for any crop loan, except for
the account of the Secretary of Agri
culture and provide for fine and im
prisonment for violation of the regu
lation. Each borrower must agree to
plant a garden for his home use and
to plant sufficient acreage to furnish
feed for his livestock.
Akron Crash Termed
National Disaster by
President Roosevelt
WASHINGTON, April 4—(AP)—
The loss of the Akron was termed a
“national disaster” Tuesday by Presi
dent Roosevelt in expressing the grief
of the nation.
“The loss of the Akron with its crew
of gallant officers and men is a nat
ional disaster,” he said.
“I grieve with the nation, and es
pecially with the wives and families
or the men who were lost.
“Ships can be replaced, but the nat
ion can ill afford to lose such men as
Roar Admiral William A. Moffett and
bis shipmates who died with him up
holding to the end the finest traditions
of the United States Navy.”

YES-BANKERS
ARE CAREFUL!
Many people have an idea that they are hurling
a real indictment at banks when they condemn
them for being too careful and too cautious.
What do you think about it?
When you deposit in a bank, YOUR money for
which you have worked hard and which repre
sents personal sacrifice,—do you think the bank
can be too careful in handling it? Do you think
they can be too cautious in checking the financial
responsibility of the individual or business seeking
to borrow some of it?
Yes —the good banker is careful —he realizes his
responsibility to the men and women who have
entrusted their money to him for safekeeping.
