Roosevelt aims to cut veteran costs with new review board
President Roosevelt plans a board to aid in reviewing veteran costs if Congress grants wider authority for a $45,000,000 annual outlay. Advisors suggest possible cuts totaling $150,000,000 to $200,000,000 in wartime benefits as part of budget balancing. Proposals include eliminating disability allowances for non-total injuries, reviewing all prior awards, removing 1900 emergency officers, and barring pensions for Spanish American War veterans with adequate incomes.
