Records Checked To Determine Aid For Vets With IB Review Being: Conduct ed Under Public Law 241 Veterans Administration is review ing its records to determine whether certain living veterans or dependents of certain deceased veterans may be entitled to compensation for active nonpulmonary tuberculosis that devel oped within three years after separa tion from active service. VA said the review is being con ducted under Public Law 241, 83rd Congress, enacted August 8, 1953. This law provides that if certain veterans develop active nonpulmonary TB to a compensable degree within three years from separation from ac tive wartime service, it may be pre sumed to have been incurred in ser vice providing there is no affirmative j evidence to the contrary. The law also requires at least 90 : l days of active war-time service and a 1 ■'sljjgcharge or separation under other Mnan dishonorable conditions. , Prior to the passage of this law, only pulmonary (lung) TB could be j presumed to be service-connected for certain veterans if it developed within three years after sparateion from war time service. The new law adds all other types of TB. Living and deceased veterans cov ered by the new law fall into the fol lowing four groups: 1. Those with service since June 21, 1950, the start of the Korean hostili ties—the active nonpulmonary TB must have developed in these cases within 3 years from separation or 3 years from the date the Korean emer ■gency is declared ended, whichever is earlier. 2. Those witl) service which began prior to January 1,1947 and which ex tended after that date—within three years from date of discharge or July 25, 1947, whichever is the earlier. 3. Those with service during World "War Two, up to December 31, 1946 — -within 3 years from separation. 4. Those with service in the Span ish-American War, the Philippine In surrection and the Boxer Rebellion -with active participation therein — ■within 3 years from separation. World War One veterans are not included under the new law because they already are covered under anoth er law which has been on the statute books for many years.

President Eisenhower gave up driving 15 years tor vehicles on * America’s highways by 1975, pre dicts a U. S. Bureau of Roads engineer. The costs of road maintenance I are sizable. State road studies esti mate that it costs $275 to $550 per running mile to annually maintain a 20-foot wide cement concrete highway—s4oo to $750 for bitu minous mixes, and $650 to $llOO for untreated gravel. The nation’s trucks and trail ers haul 90-billion ton miles a year —equal to more than 90 trips to the sun with a 10-ton load. From 1924 through 1950 over $3 billion were paid to states for highways. They didn’t buy one mile of road because the states di verted the highway use taxes for other purposes. Be wiser than other people if you can, but do not tell them so. —Lord Chesterfield.
