Increase for Disabled Men Darrow Bill Enacts Higher Aid
The American Legion reports the Darrow bill increases monthly training compensation for disabled World War veterans by 209 dollars, aiding enrollment under the federal vocational education board. The Senate passed it in a late session as a rider to a deficiency bill, pending presidential signature. The measure follows the earlier Sweet bill boosting payments from 30 to 80 dollars monthly. Legion officials credit member lobby efforts and urge rapid training enrollment for all eligible disabled veterans.
