Cash payments to World War veterans gain ground in Congress
The move for cash payment of adjusted service certificates to World War II veterans gains headway in Congress. Republican leaders push to curb proposals that would pay full matured value or partial sums. Democratic Floor Leader Garner supports optional cash payments, while the American Legion opposes full immediate cash. Hawley defers on the bill, notes merit in reducing loan interest on certificates, and Palman pushes to force committee action amid broad opposition concerns.
