PLANS ARE PUSHED TO PAY BONUS; ADDS 4,000 D. C. WORKERS (Continued from First Page.) all the service records from the world war are located. There the small army of clerks, stenographers, typists “and others will be assembled as 00N as pos- sible to begin the major part of the work. Other activity will be handled from headquarters in the State, War and Navy building. The first spe- cific task will be to get out the ap- plication blanks. Building E, where the records are kept, is of so-called temporary struc- ture, but is fireproof, having been so built for use as the old ordnance and engineering building during the war. Plans in Navy, J At the Navy Department the bonus work will be handled in the bureau of navigation. Records are in charge of the records and files section, in the seventh wing, third floor, of the | Navy building. Similar procedare is | planned by the Navy, of sending out | application blanks through the or- ganizations mentioned before as act- ing for the War Department. These application blanks, when recelved, will then be checked by the records and files section with the service record. The Marine Corps, which in reality is in the avy Department, {8 handling its bonu¥ records similarly under Brig. Gen. Rufus H. Lane, ad- jutant inspector. The records are located on the third floor, third wing, of the Navy building. Sixty new em- ployes have been asked for use by the Marine Corps.

Lane plans, however, he said today, to divert as many clerks from the regular force as possible to go ahead temporarily with the bonus plans without waiting until the new appropriation is forthcoming for extra personnel. New Veteran Bureau Section. The Veterans' Bureau will create a new division composed of personnel trained in insurance and claims prob- |lems, to handle the payment of cash to veterans to whom cash is due and the final issuance of the adjusted service certificate. We expect to be able to handle as fast as the War and Navy | departme: forward ~the adjusted | service credits to us,” said Director Hines of the Veterans' Bureau. Gen. Hines called attention to the | fact that adjusted service compensa- | tion has nothing to do with the | xovernment life insurance or com- | pensation for disability or for voca- | tional training. | Briefly summarized, the process | which will be followed by the vet- eran getting his bonus wiil be: Process for Payment. irst—The veteran waits until he can get an application blank, from the post office, American Legion or other patriotic society distributing them Second—He ¥ bl Departme without erah nswers it as fully as t for further detail aying any lawyer or r fee.

As a bonus of $60 was given all veterans upon their discharge, the first ixty days in the service will not be counted. If all service was in the United tates, the maximum allowed is $500, and if part was overseas, the maximum allowed is $625. If you, as a veteran, wish to calculate the amount of your bonus, pro- ceed as follows: Estimate the number of days you were In the service, minus the first sixty. Mutiply the number of days spent i the United States by $1. and the number spent on foreign service by $1.25. It the total is $50 or less, your bonus will be $50 in cash. If the amount is more than $50, your bonus will be an insurance policy. To get the value of this insurance policy, add 25 per cent to your basic total. or the total figured on length of service. Then multiply this second total by one of the “factors” given below and cor- responding to the age of the veteran, and this amount will be the face value of your insurance policy. For instance, Jones served six months in the United States and four months abroad. For home service at a $1 a day, his bonus will be 120 days, at $1 a day, or $120. His foreign service will be 120 days at $1.25 a day, or $150. That makes a total of $270. With the 25 per cent added, total is brought to $337.50. Suppose Jones is thirty years old. The “factor” for his 2ge 1 2.524. The face value of his insurance policy Will be $337.50x2.524, o 85. Loans may be made on the policies up to 90 per cent of their current face value any time after two vears from the date of issuance. On a $1.000 policy, for instance, at the end of two years a loan of $87.93 could be made, and on the same policy at the end of nineteen years a loan of $831.23 would be possible. _ The factors corresponding to the age of the veteran at his nearest birthday to January 1, 1925, follow: Age.

All_veterans rmy and Marine Corps and vho served as yeomen in the what amount insurance he receives and returns this to him. Expect 5,250,000 Claimsx. The approximate number of persons who may make claims, though many may be ineligible, has been estimated by the adjutant general's office as 5.- 250,000. Other military figures, ac; ding to an official statement, are: umber of men finally #ccepted and who performed actual military serv- 4.051,606; number of men who per- formed both home and overseas serv- ice, 2,057,907; number of men who per- formed domestic service only, 1,993,- 699, average number of days per man of overseas service of those men who served with overseas and at home. 312: average number of days per man of home service of those men who merved both overseas and at home, 174; average number of days per man of service of those men who served at home only, 228" Women who served in the Navy and Marine Corps also are included in the benefits of the bonus act, and their records will be handled as those of other war veterans. There are many such women in Washington The benefits go to all veterans up to and including the rank of captain in the Army and Marine Corps and lieutenant in the Navy. No one Is en- titled to the bonus for service as a civilian officer or for membership in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps or the Students' Army Training Corps. p Cash Payments Next Year. No cash payments will prior to March 1, 1925, and adjusted service certificates will be dated Jan- | uary 1, 1925, if the application is | made prior to that date; or if made | subsequent date the application | be dated the first day of the in which it is filed administer the first part of the RENTACAR AND DRIVEIT MAIN 622 bonus, and place either cash or insur- ance certificates ic_the hands of the veterans, will require, it is estimated, from nine months to one year. Cash payments will be made to men whose adjusted compensation is $50 or less, the first sixty days of service having been considered pald pre- viously by the $60 bonus granted on discharge. The act provides for the great majority of veterans, however, & form of endowment insurance. Maximum Policy at $1,000. The average insurance policy, it has been estimated. would be valued at $962, while the maximum vaiue would be about $1,900 for overseas service and $1,600 for home service. The value of the policy would be the equivalent of the amount which the adjusted service credit, plus 25 Der cent of it, would purchase at rex- ular insurance prices based on 4 per cent interest compounded annually.

Quinn, national commander of the American Legion, in a state- ment fssued here yesterday on the passage of the bonus over the Pres. dent's veto, declared that “justice has at last been done the veterans. “After five years of effort, during which the American people have been wholeheartedly with us,” said Com- mander Quinn, “justice’ has at last been done the veterans. We do not stop to gloat in triumph, for great work remains for the legion to do— work which makes the legion the greatest constructive force for good in America today. “Wo shall continue to care for and to guard the interests of our disabled buddies. We shall continue to pro- vide for the helpless children of our comrades who fell on the field of battle. We shall preach Americanism and try in every way to show that our slogan—'The American Legion 1s an Institution of Service'—is not an idle boast. “We heartily thank those repre- sentatives in Congress who have stood behind us in our long fight to obtain those things, justly due us.” News that the Senate had passed the bill over the President's veto reached legion headquarters while the national executive committee was considering a rehabilitation re- port dealing with better care for ex- service men. Cheers interrupted the report being made by Watson B. Miller of Wash- ington, national chairman of the re- habilitation commission. Frank B. Warner, national committeeman from Nebraska, gaining the floor, shouted: The news that justice has been done the veterans finds us in serious consideration of means for aiding our comrades who are disabled and! in helpless. I move that Mr. Miller con- tinue his report to show the Ameri: can public that our great Interest still is service to our comrades and the nation." The meeting was con- nued. SEES JUSTICE IN BONUS.
