Pension cuts save quarter billion
Washington October 30 Officials estimate unofficial sources that veterans costs last year accounted for about 2.25 hundred million dollars toward the government economy program under current appropriations. The tabulation shows expenses at 778,010,000 against 531,988,000 for 1933-44 not including adjusted service certificate payments.
