New disability law boosts veterans benefits and widows
Washington notes that by Oct 1 nearly 10 million disabled veterans will receive back pay from the Veterans Administration due to retroactive increases signed by President Nixon. The law raises basic payments 8 to 12 percent for most service connected disabilities and increases dependency allowances for those 50 percent or more disabled. It also restores benefits to widows who remarried and were later widowed or divorced. Additionally, presumption of service connection applies to certain diseases for former POWs and veterans with nutritional deficiencies. Payments do not adjust for cost of living. The piece also cites adultery penalties from Britannica.

Warren Ohio UPI report says fifty striking auto workers disbanded pickup lines and let salaried workers leave the General Motors Corp Chevrolet plant seven to nine hours after shifts ended. The dispute arose when several hundred of the 5,000 normally employed did not pick up paychecks last Thursday and Friday.
