NEWS FROM THE
VETERANS CORNER
Here are authoritative answers
from the Veterans Administration
to four questions of interest to
former servicemen and their de
pendents:
Q. As the beneficiary of my
late husband’s NSLI policy, I am at
present receiving monthly insur
ance payments. How should I
proceed to collect NSLI dividends
on this policy?
A. Since the policy was in force
at the time of your husband’s
death, the NSLI dividend will be
sent to you, his beneficiary, auto
matically.
Q. My husband, a World War II
veteran, died from a nonservice
connected disability, Am I en
titled to a pension even though we
had been married less than 10
years? :
A. Since you were married with
in 10 years of the official close of
World War 11, you may be en
titled if you wmeet income pro
visions, but there must be a show
ing that at time of his death, the
veteran also had a service-con
nected disability. However, it is
not necessary that death resulted
from the service-connected con
dition.
Q. T had an arm amputated
when I was 10 years old. Am I
entitled to a pension as the de
pendent child of a Civil War vet
eran?
A. You are not entitled to a
pension. To receive a pension
after age 16, a child of a Civil War
veteran must have been totally
helpless prior to that age.
Q. If my husband, a pensioned
World War II veteran, dies, will
his pension go to me or to a de
pendent uncle?
A. The veteran’s pension will
stop at his death. You, as his wife,
may apply and qualify for a wi
dow’s pension if you meet the ne
cessary requirements. The uncle
may apply, but would not qualify
unless he had acted as a parent to
the veteran.
(Veterans wishing further in
formation regarding veterans’
benefits may have their questions
answered by contacting the VA of
fice, Room 306, New Post Office
Bldg., Athens, Georgia).
Congress Work On
Budget Proposed
WASHINGTON, June 13—(AP)
—Fresh fears of inflation prompt
ed bipartisan proposals today that
Congress get busy on the job of
balancing the budget.
Senator Douglas (D-II 1. told a
reporter he regards the threat of
inflation caused by rises in whole
sale prices as serious, but possibly
not dangerous.
“It strengthens the case for re
ducing expenditures and balancing
the cash budget—that’s the best
inflation brake"”,—said Douglas,
who agrees with the Truman ad
ministration on about everything
but its monetary policies.

Tobacco Grower
CAIRO, Ga., June 13—A Grady
County shade tobacco grower, R.
W. Gainey, has one of the most
complete sprinkler irrigation sys
tems in Georgia, in the opinion of
Roger Bennett, Extension Service
irrigation specialist,
Mr, Gainey and his son Ralph
have ‘approximately 30 acres of
tobacco under shade this season,
and they estimate that it will cost
them $45,000 to grow the crop.
They expect to grow a yield of
around 1,330 pounds of tobacco
per acre and® the crop generally
sells for around two dollars per
pound.
With a crop that requires such a
heavy investment, irrigation
equipment is a necessity as a crop
insurance,” Gainey points out. He
figures irrigation increases yields
and also maintains a high quality
of tobacco.
In 1949 Gaineys installed a
new irrigation system using a 40-
horse power electric motor which
operates high-pressure, giant-size
nozzles capable of irrigating up to
three acres at one setting. Origi~
nally the Gaineys bought the “big
squirt sprinkler for irrigating pas
tures, but they found that by plac
ing a sprinkler outside the shaded
tobacco area the tobacco plants
could be watered without going in
among them.
Bennett points out that this is a
desirable practice because when
holes are cut in the top. of the
sheets to allow sprinklers to be
placed in the middle of the field,
insects get in and damage the crop.
The spray from the giant sprink
ler is broken up by the thin cloth
sheets and the result.is a gently
falling spray similar to a rain.
The Gaineys are convinced that
this type of sprinkler irrigation
serves them better than does fur
row irrigation because with the
latter type there is a danger of
drowning the tobacco plants.

Georgia Freight
. . .
Suit Dismissed
WASHINGTON, June 13.—(AP)
—After digesting 78,092 pages of
testimony, a special court ap
pointee has decided that a freight
rate suit by Georgia against 20
railroads should be dismissed.
Georgia in 1944 asked the Su
preme Court to issue an injunc
tion against what it declared was
a conspiracy by the railroads to
fix rates favoring northern indus
try and discriminating against the
South,

former War Labor Board chair
man, a special master to gather
facts and make a recommendation.
His 923-page report was submitted
