Jesse Owen Gifford, the war veteran who was declared legally dead in Tennessee five years ago but who was located at the Washoe general hospital here a few weeks ago, Is not entitled to recover the $2700 war service compensation paid his wife by the government, according to a ruling Issued today by Richard N.

Elliott, acting comptroller general, says a Washington Associated Press dispatch. Gifford disappeared from his South Pittsburgh, home eight years ago and was adjudged dead after a body recovered from the Tennessee river was identified by his wife, a clothing merchant and a dentist. Then the veterans administration disclosed, a month ago, he had applied for his bonus in Reno. Relatives and friencjs in Tennessee at first refused to believe the report, but were convinced by fingerprints submitted to prove his identity. Employed as a truck driver in Susanville, Gifford, using the name of Joe Braun came to Reno last July 4 and was injured in an automobile accident at the rodeo.

He was taken to the general hospital suffering from a broken leg and left the hospital shortly after making application for the bonus money. He was visited here by his brother Henry Gifford of Tennessee but indicated he had no present intention of returning to his family. Responding to an inquiry from the veterans admlnis tration as to whether Gifford was entitled to receive his bonus, Elliott said: "The payment to Gifford 's widow was a good and sufficient payment and the settlement should not be disturbed."
