Vets Urge Bonus Hike and Veterans Affairs Reform
The United Spanish War Veterans backed higher pensions to match living costs and a unified U S Senate veterans affairs committee. They urged preserving a strong military, ending the pauper’s oath for medical care, transferring the Oregon battleship to its home state, and proposing a 1948 commemorative stamp and coin for the war’s 50th anniversary. A controversial debt policy item was dropped. Charles Barefoot won junior vice commander in chief. John White became commander in chief with H M Havner as vice commander.
