Newspaper Week is not only a time for pointing out light wh they may and xer 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 On the other hand, there is need that the public recognize and appreciate more the work of newspapers. The Nand reporters do infinitely more than recite ton -seedit ars a our time. They discuss the meaning of these the event ¢ ENG EN CHES 4 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— = forced on sales, Is most book.” 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.

At the Center the IBM 705 will compute and record the revisions almost instantanously. The VA estimates the comsands of transactions, reported from all over the nation, in one eight-hour shift. Initally, the ADP will operate at least two shifts daily, according to present plans. Maximum operation would put the computer in use 22 hours a day, with two hours for maintenance.

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 . \ . * } . Ffench Woust jaar, .

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. Helps Heal And Clear ltchy Skin Rash!
