G I Bill of Rights Given Senate Okeh
Washington June 12 The bill passed today and sent to the Mousws compromis version of the G I Bill of Rights embodies a comprehensive program of benefits for veterans of the present. The cost of the program including hospitalization education employment compensation and loans for home farms and businesses has been estimated at 3 010 050 000 to 6 000 000 000 dollars. Finance committee chairman George told colleagues senate conferees had agreed reluctantly to bow to insistence that any benefits veterans receive under the bill be deducted from any bonus he may be voted after the war. Under the measure a veteran would be entitled to unemployment compensation for 50 weeks if out of a job during the state two years after discharge. If education was interrupted upon entering service the veteran could get year’s schooling and in some cases complete college education with government paying 500 for a year’s tuition plus 54 a month for subsistence and 75 for dependents. The government would guarantee 60 percent of private loans at 4 percent interest up to about 2 060 to enable veterans to enter business or farming or to buy a home.
