Federal Aid to Victims of War
Senator Pepper urged immediate Senate passage of a bill to pay government benefits to civilian victims of war action. The measure, estimated to cost up to 36 million dollars per year, would provide monthly benefits from 10 to 88 dollars. Senator George sought referral to the Finance Committee for study, while Taft supported a provision for civilian defense personnel injured in blackout drills. A telegram from Senator La Follette argued against delaying action, stressing that losses from enemy action deserve full protection.
