Legion Fights Plan to End GI Insurance
The American Legion opposed a proposal to end GIs life insurance while backing other survivor benefits. Legion official Kraabel supported pricing under the social security system and a VA survivor compensation stepup, but questioned adequacy for lower grade widows with children and condemned removing free life insurance for servicemen. He urged an indemnity or insurance option for those wounded in service.
