Vet Pension Battle Looms in Committee
The House Veterans Affairs Committee meets in a closed session over a proposed 10 percent monthly veterans pension bill backed by the American Legion. President Eisenhower opposes the measure, which would cost 23 million first year and over 77 million by 2060, providing 105 dollars monthly for World War I and Korean War veterans under income limits.

Washington reports the University of Wisconsin is among four Midwestern universities under government review to host the world’s largest atom smasher.

Senator Thye and Minnesota officials pressed Rosemount works as an alternative site, as Congress debates authorization and funding for the project.
