Swick Bill as Substitute on Pensions Seen
A Washington briefing indicates the Swick pension bill may replace the Veterans Pension measure in Congress. President Hoover has opposed both, calling the plan unfair to overseas veterans. Major Duff, national VFW leader, says the bill could be killed and the Swick option substituted. The pension plan would classify pre 1921 Army enlistees with organic diseases as eligible, presuming pre-1930 illness as in the line of duty.
