Roosevelt signs order boosting veteran disability pay amid budget clash
President Roosevelt issued an executive order to raise compensation for service connected disabilities of World War I Spanish American War and expeditionary forces veterans. The changes replace deeper cuts proposed under the economy bill with an average around 18 percent reduction, not exceeding 25 percent for any individual case, and apply to World War I Spanish American and expeditionary force veterans. The move aims to curb larger tax rises by offsetting outlays within the economy program and was announced as House leaders weighed a Senate plan to limit cuts.
