World War II veterans who were prisoners of war, or their survivors, must file claim for the dollar-a-day benefits due them while interned in 'enemy prison camps by March 1, 1951, it was announced by Coun ty Officer J. B. Wallace of , the North Carolina Veterans Commiss ion at Kenansville. That is the closing date by which some 30,000 World War II veterans, or their survivors, may file for the benefits to be paid from liquidated enemy assets. It is the conviction of the War Claims Commission, which is handling the claims, that most of the "missing" claimants for the benefits are the widows, children or parents of deceased prisoners of war, not cognizant of their eli gibility to receive the benefits. Such survivors of deceased veterans were qualified to make the claims by a later ruling of the War Claims Commission. Until the present time some 120, 000 claims have been received by the WCC and 35,000 of them have ! been paid. As the deadline for til ing draws near a redoubled effort is being made to get the informa tion of the eligibility of the surviv ors of deceased veterans to them, Mr. Wallace said. Application blanks and assistance in filing the claim can be secured at the county office of the N. C. Veterans Commission in the Court Hounse In Kenansville. Two New Cases T. B. Found In Co.
