Administration Finds Pension Plan Too Costly
Washington May 23 The administration moved to block World War pension legislation passed by the House and under Senate Finance Committee review. Veterans Administrator Frank T. Hines said an early conference with Senate leaders would seek deferral due to other government demands. Estimates put first year costs at over 30 million dollars, with rises thereafter, covering widows children and dependents of veterans.
