Veterans pensions boost passes in house amid White House doubt
The House approved a bill increasing pensions and disability payments for World War I and II veterans and Spanish-American War survivors by about 112.5 million dollars annually, with no dissent. A White House objection looms though, raising questions on a possible veto. The cost applies chiefly to higher total disability pay, widows and dependents, and service-connected presumptions for World War I veterans.

Federal aid to education in peril amid religious clash
The drive for federal aid to schools stagnates as a Barden bill to exclude Catholic and non public schools from aid collides with Cardinal Spellman and Eleanor Roosevelt amid the debate on church state separation. Observers say the controversy hampers passage of the plan. Meanwhile Admiral Byrd plans a major Antarctic expedition with 3,500 men and eight ships to map vast uncharted territory, awaiting Defense approval to sail in October 1949.

Rough Going Adversity Plagues Viking Saga Revival
A modern Danish Viking re-enactment crew rowed and sailed an open boat across 600 miles of North Sea to reach England, but foul weather forced their ship towed up the Thames by a green bus as thousands of Britons watched. The dramatic arrival was attenuated by rain and wind, turning the event into an anticlimax with helmets and spears set aside.
