PAGE TWO
Un Vels Benefits
ATLANTA, Ga.,, March 14 —
Georgia veterans who went into
hid.lng in enemy territory during
World War II in order to avoid
capture will receive benefits under
the War Claim Act if either of two
bills before Congress passes, Will
iam K. Barrett, director of the
State Department of Veterans Ser
vice, announced today.
The War Claims Act, Barrett
explained, provides for the pay
ment of SI.OO for each day a vete
ran spent in a prisoner of war
camp, or was held by the enemy
during the war, in lieu of rations
the prisoners were supposed to
have received under the trms of
th Geneva Conference.
Under this act, through an over
sight, no provisions were made for
the men who went into hiding in
enemy territory to avoid capture
and imprisonment although in
most cases these veterans lived on
much less food per day than was
issued to prisoners. Numerous ve
terans who could not claim bene
fits under the War Claims Act due
to this' unintentional inequity re
assted amendments to the Act

; What value would you put on your telephone if you were

What value would you put on that hurry-up call to the

Probably you'd find it almost impossible to estimate the full

think how much it does for you compared to what you pay,
telephone service stands out as one of today’s real bargains.

and two bills (S. 1102 and H. R.

the re‘zular benefits available to
these men,
According to Barrett, action on
these bills is expected in the near
future. If and when one of the
bills is passed and signed into law
by President Truman, Barrett
stated he will release full infor
mation concerning this fact to
Georgia veterans.
Barrett also stated that a num
ber of former prisoners of war
who are eligible, under existing
laws, for payment of SI.OO per day
for each day they spent in a prison
camp have not applied for this
payment. He urged all veterans
who are eligible for this money to
apply for it at the local Veterans
Service Office which is located at
283 1-2 E. Broad Street, Athens.
Manager of this office is Raymond

WATER PISTOL PRANKS BAFFLING
The police department admitted quite readily today it
is baffled by a new and strange situation. Their problem
was this:
To find out, how and why a strange liquid is being ap
plied to women’s clothing, which removes the color.
The situation was brought to light by a report from three
local dry cleaners that they had received complaints from
customers about spots appearing on their clothes after
they had them cleaned.
Chief Clarence Roberts said four
women had reported spots of vary
ing sizes on their clothes. None of
the women could recall any inci
dent which might give a clue as
to when and how the liquid was
applied to their clothes. Loy
© Oné woman reported that she
wore ‘a freshly cleaned dress to
work one morning. A short while,
later, after arriving at the office,
one of her office companions
asked her what she had spilled on
her dress.
Much to her surprise she noticed
a large spot on the front of her
dress where the color had disap
pered from the cloth. Other re
ports followed similar lines.
One woman reported spots ap
pearing in the front and back of
her skirt. Another reported sim
jlar conditions on the hemline of
her dress.
Chief Roberts said the dry clean
ers had throughly checked their
stock and were confident none of
their chemicals caused the spots.
The incidents brought to mind
the recent wave of oceurences in
Atlanta where women were squirt
ed with acid whiie walking along
downtown streets.
However, none of the women re
-ported any harm from the inci
dents here, except to the clothing,
Chief Roberts said the pattern
of the spots led his department to
believe that the liquid was squirted
