The director urged the veterans
in this county to “feel out” the
candidates for the State Senate
and House of Representatives. It
was sugested that Senator Hugh
G. Horton who lives just across
the street from the courthouse
be called into the meeting then
and there. Dock Taylor led a
small delegation to escort the sen

Vescovo continued his discus

ed bill would include veterans
of Wars 1 and II and the Korean
conflict, that those posts in op
position to the plan last year are
now strongly in favor of it.
The $200 million bonus is to be
easily financed by imposing a
three percent sales tax on unit
purchases costing $500 or more,
the organizer-director explained
Money paid under the 52-20 plan
would not be deducted and the
bonus would not be taxable, he
assured the veterans. One anxious
veteran wanted to know how the
bonus would be distributed.
Jeff Davis, district supervisor of
Washington, D. C., pinchhitting
for Senator Tom Sawyer, told the
veterans that without an organi
zation, they would have receiv
ed no benefits and unless they
maintain an organization there’ll
be few benefits.in the future. He
insisted that there were great
forces working to cut the veterans
down to nothing. He also declar
ed that the public looks upon the
average as a bum Davis and
