Veterans widows and disabled children aid bills advance in House
The House passed two veterans bills by voice vote sending them to the Senate. One raises service widow payments to 120 dollars a month with 12 percent of the husband’s basic pay, while the other offers education allowances of 110 dollars a month for disabled veterans’ children ages 18 to 23 for up to 36 months. Estimated first year costs are 11.779 million and 3.3 million respectively. The Commerce Department cites a second quarter balance of payments deficit near 1.3 billion, a rise from early 1963. Some officials expect the figure to be distorted for the year. Plus, thousands of federal workers may take a paid day off August 28 for the freedom march, though essential services should remain operating.
