Benefits To Be Given Korea Vets
Washington (U.R.)—President Truman was expected today to sign quickly a bill to give Korean war veterans all World War H benefits except the GI Bill of Rights.
Mr. Truman asked congress for the bill late Thursday after learning that a veterans administration hospital in Arizona had refused to admit a Korean war veteran because he had not served in an "official" war.
The senate passed it first, but the house added more benefits and the senate quickly agreed. The measure increases the benefits now available to men on active duty on or after June 27, 1950, and runs until the president or congress ends it.
The chief benefit is the privilege—but not the right—for veterans to get free hospitalization and medical care for injuries or illness not connected with their active service. Korea veterans already had those benefits for ailments incurred in service.
Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers (R-Mass.) told the house she would introduce a bill extending the GI Bill of Rights to Korea veterans but prospects for its passage appeared slight. Several similar bills have been introduced, and have received no action.
The bill also gives the full wartime rate—instead of the 80 per cent peacetime scale—for service-connected disabilities.
The new bill does not give Korean war vets such GI Bill benefits as government-paid education, on-the-job training, guaranteed and insured loans for homes, farms and businesses or readjustment allowances to help unemployed ex-servicemen.
Here are the benefits available to veterans of current service under the new bill.
Hospitalization: For ailments or injuries not due to military service, the veteran can get free care in a veterans hospital if a bed is available and if he signs a statement he cannot afford treatment privately. (Like other veterans, he already is entitled, as a right, to hospitalization for ailments or injuries due to service.)
Domiciliary care: He gets the same right as other veterans to en-
Three Distinguished Alumni Receive Awards From Geology Department
---
Three University alumni have received Erasmus Haworth Distinguished Alumni awards from the geology department.
men were given the award for their outstanding achievement in the field of geology. They will receive certificates and their names will be inscribed in silver on the Erasmus Haworth plaque in the main hall of Lindley.
Erasmus Haworth received a B.S. degree in 1881 and an M.S. in 1884 from the University. After taking a Ph.D. degree from Johns Hopkins university in 1888, he returned to K.U. as a professor of geology and was chairman of the department until 1920. For 22 years he was also state geologist of Kansas.
They are Carl O. Dunbar, '13, professor of paleontology at Yale university; William W. Clawson, '23, chief geologist with the Magnolia Petroleum company of Dallas; and Dean A. McGee, '26, executive vice-president of the Kerr-McGee Oil company of Oklahoma City.
Dr. R. M. Dreyer, chairman of the geology department, made the awards at a recent geology alumni luncheon in St. Louis. The three

ter, under some circumstances, the government's homes for soldiers.
Burial expenses: His family can get $150 from the veterans administration to help pay for his burial, and a flag to adorn his casket.
Pensions: Veterans found to be unemployable, and with income of $1,000 or less ($2,500 for a married man), would qualify for pensions
up to $60 a month. At age 65 the maximum pension goes to $72.
Compensation: Compensation for service-connected ailments or injuries would be boosted to wartime rates, for all men now in uniform. Men who incur such ailments or injuries in the combat area already get these higher rates.
Widows: Where men with some service connected ailment die for causes not due to service, their windows could draw $42 monthly pensions.
