HARRISBURG AP Interest in the state financed Korean War bonus climbs as about 2 500 inquiries from Pennsylvania veterans surface. Col William B Freeland deputy adjutant general says letters will be kept on file until the next Legislature acts on the bonus up to 500 dollars per veteran. Voters approved a 150 million dollar bond issue to finance the bonus and the 1959 Legislature must raise revenue to pay off bonds before payments begin. About 395 000 veterans are estimated in the Korean War with some sources arguing a lower figure and need for around 10 million dollars to finance payments. John B Cobb head of the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Co dies in Nashville of a coronary thrombosis. Freeland notes no arrangements or applications exist yet and there is no administrative organization to handle bonus correspondence.
