Senate approves bills to aid veterans families

The Senate Finance Committee on Monday advanced five veterans measures to raise widows' benefits and expand government life and health coverage. The plan, led by Sen. Russell Long and Sen. Herman Talmadge, would lift widow payments to 130 dollars plus 14 percent of basic pay, with 170 dollars minimum and 20 dollars per child. It also adds 50 dollars for each widow needing regular aid and attendance, 75 if death occurred in combat. Group life insurance rises to 15 thousand dollars, with 30 thousand for combat zones, and adds indemnity for loss of limb or sight. A Vietnam Era Life Insurance program would offer up to 30 thousand dollars for veterans since 1964 under permanent plans.
