Legion to Discuss Higher Benefits for Veterans
Roy J. Smith of the Beckley WV Veterans Affairs office will present the American Legion’s response to President Truman’s higher benefits ban to Raleigh County Post 32. The proposal, called a Body and Soul Pension Boost, seeks broad pension and compensation increases for wartime veterans and dependents, supported by Rep George W. Larbacher Jr. The plan would raise service connected and nonservice connected rates, with examples showing substantial gains for widows and children, though final action depends on Congress.
