Homer G. Hale, jr., commander,
has announced.
“The Macon chapfer of the VFW

an Athens organization,” Mr. Hale
said. “We want wives, sisters, or
mothers of Athens’ foreign. wars
veterans to join with us in our
work.”
Mr. Hale went on to say “There
is so much to do now. Our women
have gotten out and helped in
community services. They . have
not' had an organization of their
own. The "VFW wants them to
have a local auxiliary. So much
more can be accomplished for
them in reward for their service.”
“The Korean War may bring
sorrow to many of us. There seems
to be comfort in companionship,
and the auxiliary gives that com
panionship,” he stated.
Women relatives of Athens’
foreign war veterans are invited to
inquire about membership in the

MACON-—Marine veterans who

necks no longer must be single.
Major John C. Landrum, Geor
gia’s Marine Corps recruiting of
ficer- announced that Corps vets
-—both men and women—may now
volunteer for service even if they
have dependents.
Formerly, only those men who

cepted for reenlistment if they
were married. Women Marines of
World War II who rejoined were
required to be single.
If otherwise qualified, Major
Landrum continued, all men who
have served in the Marines will
be accepted in the regular service
regardless of their number of de
pendents. Women veterans may
be married, but cannot have de
pendents under 18 years of age.
Other enlistment changes allow
inactive Marine Corps Reservists
with dependents—not subject to
mobilizatton—to eniist in the reg
ulars at a rank depending on the
time lapsed since last Marine
Corps service.
A change in term of enlistment
has also been effected. Recruit en=
listees’ may now sign up for three
or four years while enlistments
will have the choice of three, four,
or six years tours of duty. All for=-

Most Vet's Benefits Under GI Bill
Slated For U. S. Soldiers In Korea
| BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—Con
gress is now preparing to extend
t veterans benefits to-the men who
| are fighting in Korea.
The powerful national veterans
organizations have their full
weight behind it. And congress
men admit that something must
be done about the matter very
soon,
In general it is predicted that
lKorean combat veterans will be
given just about the same GI Bill
of Rights benefits provided World
War II vets. But there are some
| ticklish questions yet to be set
| tled. They involve committing the
{U. S Treasury to annual expen
ditures of hundreds of millions of
’ dollars for many years to come,
| Top Questions
The key questions are these:
‘ Should the benefits be limited
| to those men who actually see ac
{tion in Korea?
Should benefits be given to all
men who might serve in the Ko
rean theater, but who might not
see combat action?
Should benefits be extended to
all men who enlist or who are
Extension, Navy Pre-Flight, and
political science department, She
has studied guidance and counsel=
ing in the Graduate School.
Miss Bondurant plans- to keep
high school interests “alive” for
'freshmen women. One of her
many plans is to establish a wo
men’s debation society, with advice
and help from members of Demos-~
thenian and Phi Kappa Literary
Societies.
A native Athenian, Miss Bon
durant has been a department su~
perintendent in the First Metho
dist Church Sunday " School for
several years. v
drafted in connection with the
Korean crisis?
Veterans Adnmrinistration gives a
rough estimate of $31,000,000 for
providing 10,000 veterans with re
habilitation and GI bill benefits.
The President has authorized the
drafting of 185,000 men for this
| year.
If all of these men are given
benefits, as they were during
World War 11, the bill will be
$573.5 million. Without an official
declaration of war, however, there
are precedents for limiting bene
fits to only those men who see
action in Korea.
Limited Benefits
Practically all of the 15-odd
bills which have already been in
troduced would limit benefits to
those men actually in combat. Also
they all prohibit the “pyramid
ing” of benefits. In other words,
men in the service who have al=-
ready used some veterans benefits
from World War II service can’t
get more benefits from Korean
service,
The World War II benefits not
now extended to. Korean vets, but

There is sentiment for letting
one World War II benefit be add~
ed to a Korean vet's rights, That’s
vocational an d rebabilitation
training for any World War II vet
who took some other GI training
but who might be disabled fight
ing the Reds. :
Extra Benefit
Another extra benefit which the
American Legion is expected to
press for is the granting of an au
tomatic National Life Insurance
Policy of $5,000 for a peripd of
120 days. This would give all men
in Korea, who hadn’t already
taken advantage of it, a chatice to
buy GI insurance. L i
Many men rlighiing tn Korea
now don’t have the insurance be
cause they didn’t think t,hgy;g;‘
need it, and didn't get a chance
to get it arter veing ordered to .
Korea,
Even without special Congregs .
sional action, however, .the men
who will be veterans of the Ko=
rean fighting are not without some
benefits. Those who suffef injury
or disease are entitled to disabil
ity compensation at full wartime
rates. Dependents of those killed
in action get death compensation
benefits. A widow without chil~
dren gets $75 a month. If's s3o°
more for the first child and $25
more for each additional child.
Men totally disabled are eligible
to have the GI insurance premi
‘ ums waived if their total disabil-.
