Compromise Flood Bill Advances as House Acts on Veterans and Taxes
The compromise flood control and rivers and harbors bill of about 597 million dollars passed after House action, with 83 million more than initial House orders and 41 million less than the original Senate bill. The House extended Korea era veterans' housing benefits, increased railroad retirement benefits, and expanded survivor and annuity provisions. It also outlined new Reservist classifications and a dramatic rise in federal taxes since 1929, plus rapid government spending and rising deficits. A VA route for increased pension eligibility was clarified, and links to subversive fund disbursements were noted.
