Newspaper Week is not only a time for pointing out

the vast services rendered by newspapers. it is also a time .
for reappraising hew well the job is being done. Self-examination is something which no general publication can

events, their background and probable effects on the future. .
They wage an unceasing battle against the restriction of
news by government officials. They watch the conduct of
the people's business on local, state and federal levels and
they wage war against those who try to use public office
merely for personal gain.
Newspapers are never more appreciated than when they
are to suspend publication temporarily, as has happened in the case of strikes. Then their readers realize how
much they depend on newspapers for reports on events, for
comments of columnists. for editorial opinions, for entertainment (the commics. for nistance), for money-saving information for getting jobs or finding help, for
buying and selling surplus items and for a score of other
services,
A free people must be an informed people. The function of the newspaper is to supply essential information.
Hence the theme for this vear’s National Newspaper Week
approprate: “Your Newspaper — Freedom's Text— =

KHRUSHCHEV IN CALIFORNEY
The dictator of all the people of all the Soviet Socialist
Republics has come and gone, without too much -in the way
of untoward incident. For contrived reasons of his own making. he didn’t get to see Disneyland. but he more than made
up for it by his unscheduled stop as Harry Bridges’ guest at
an enthusiastic gathering in the exploited longshore workers’
modernistic San Francisco palace.
We can all hope—and only time will tell if it does—that
Nikita Khrushchev's visit added something in the way of
increased understanding that may contribute toward world
peace. If it has, then the irritation of having to endure an
endless stream of tired cliches. the quoting of Scripture for
a non-believer’s purpose and the corny humor of the most
stupendous television ham since Milton Berle will have been
well worth it.
To the Mavors of California’s two largest citics, who had
the difficult chore of plaving host to our difficult guest,
should be accorded the greatest of credit for restrained and
proper performances.
San Francisco's Mayor Christopher's dignified discharge
of his official obligations couldn't have been in better taste.
And the fantastically angry reaction by the Premier of that
“our rockets are ready, our launching pads are ready” to
Los Angeles Mayor Poulson’s mild and good tempered reference to Krhushchev’s famous “we will bury vou” remark
served to remind us of the belligerent purpose that underlies the thin veneer of the Communist Dictator’s incessant
talk of peace.

VETERANS’ NEWS
Here’s the new pension picture
in a nutshell.
First, it has nothing to do with
service connected compensation.
It concerns non-service conected
pensios only.
Secod, it does not go into effect until July 1, 1960.
Veterans, widows and orphans
now on the p€nSion rolls, or coming on the rolls before that date,
will be allowed to choose the
present system or the new pension plan, whichever they prefer.
VA will help them make that
choice by sending them a form
to be filled out. They will receive
this form automatically; writing
to VA will not speed things up.
If you are a veteran, the requirements haven't changed. You
. must still have 90 days of wartime service, a discharge other
than dishonorable. and be totally
and permanently disabled for
reasons not related to service.
But the amount of pension will
be based on your financial need.
Under the present system, an
annual income limitation was set
at $1,400 for single veterans and
$2,700 for veterans with one or
. more dependents. But the amount
of pension remains the same for
each class, $66.15 per month,
until the veteran reaches 65 years
of age or has been on the pension
_rolls 10 years. Then it jumps to
$78.75 per month.
Under the new law effective
next July 1, a payment of $85 per
month will go to a veteran without dependents if his annual in‘come does not exceed $600. This
. payment drops to $70 ‘per month
if his annual income is between
$600 and $1,200 It drops further
to $40 ped month for single veterans whose income lies between
$1,200 and $1,800 and ceases entirely over $1,800
Veterans with one dependnt
are similary scaled: one dependent $90 per month with income
not over $1000; $75 with income
between $1000 and $2000, and a
lowest payment of $45 per month
with income between $2000 and
$3000.
Vterans with two dependents
will receive $95 per month and
those with three or more dependents will receive $100 ped month
. if their incomes are under $1000
. a year but above $1000 the above
puter will update the more than . $1000 the payments are the same
four million accounts with thou. as for the vetran with one de; pendent. ;
The present Jaw provides to; tal payment monthly of $135.45
for those helpless veterans re‘quiring regular aid and attend'ance when they are not in a VA
hospital or domiciliary. The new
. law will add $70 a month to their
basic pension payment for aid
and attendance under the same
circumstances.
If you are a widow, the basic
. requirements for pension eligi. bility will b changed as of July
/ 1, 1960. Th present law requires
‘that widows of World War 1]
and Korean conflict veterans
/must submit evidence that the

New Pension Plan Effective July 1, 60
veteran had a service-connected
disability. After July 1, 1960, the
widows merely have to submit
proof that the veteran was in
active war service for 90 days
or more and that he was discharged under other than dishonorable conditions.
World War 1 widows have already had only this simple active
duty requirement.
Briefly, a childless widow on
the present pension rolls receives
$50.40 per month if her income
is not over $1,400. With a minor
child, or children, her income
may be as much as $2,700 per
year. The widow with one child
receives $63 and there is $7.56
provided for each additional child.
Coming on the rolls after July
1, 1960, a childless widow will
receive $60 per month if her annual income is not more than
$600; $45 per month with an annual income between $600 and
$1,200, and $25 a month with an
annual income between $1,200
and $1,800.
A widow with one child, under
the new law, will receive $75 a
month if her annual income is
not more than $1,000; $60 per
month with an annual income of
between $1,000 and $2,000, and
$40 a month if her annual income
is betwen $2,000 and $3,000. An
extra $15 a month is paid in all
instances for each _ additional
child.
If you are an orphan, the present incom limitation is $1,400 per
year and pensions amount to
$27.30 a month for one orphan:
$40.95 for two; $54.60 a month
for three an an extra $7.56 for
each additional orphan.
Under the new pension plan,
orphans will be eligible for pensions if their outside income is
not more than $1,800 a year, not
counting their own earnings. Pensions will be $35 per month for
one orphan and an extra $15 per
month for each additional orphan.
Stressing these highlights, VA
ing details have been omitted for
the sake of brevity.
VA has requested that no one
write to the agency to further
add to the workload of putting
the new system into operation.
All those now on the rolls will be
notified by VA and all new cases
applying or coming on the rolls
will be handled individually.
