Veterans Loafing Rumor Debunked By Studio Investigation
Kenneth L. Dixon reports in Cleveland that widespread claims of veterans freeloading on 20 a week for 52 weeks are overstated. Michigan data show about 61 percent of veterans applied initially, most drawing only about 10 weeks, with only a small share still on the top payment after three weeks. Cleveland figures mirror this, with 125,000 servicemen back and 16,400 seeking work, 11,066 still drawing 20 weekly, and many classified as injured, inexperienced, or delaying work or school.
