1. Vets Pension Bill House Heads Into Session Saying Anything Can Happen By GULICK WASHINGTON (-Leaders in the -veterans drive brought out a new, one-half cost proposal today as the House headed. into an anything-can-happen battle over a bill that could- annually cost billions dollars. Rep. Edmondson' (D-Okla) said the American Legion and Veterans Foreign Wars will back a $90- pension instead of the $105 version originally approved by the House Veterans Committee.

This, plus other agreed-on cuts in the committee bill, would chop first-year costs to little more than two thirds of a billion dollars. Without this the administration estimates the first tab at billions and a total of 148 billions by the year 2000. The last-minute switch reflected Jeaders' opinions that even in an election year the bigger bill hadn't a chance of becoming law. Chairman Olin E. Teague (D- Tex), with the support of Speaker Rayburn (D-Tex), pustred a rival plan aimed mainly at helping seriously disabled veterans.

Providing less pension liberalization, it would cost about 200 million dollars the first year. House Republicans caucused yesterday and decided each member would be free to vote as he pleased on the politically hot sue. Some Democratic leaders other than Rayburn were reported favoring "laughing through" the full committee bill on the theory that the Senate or a late-session veto by President Eisenhower would kill ft Overnight, there had been no word from the White House on the various -plans, although it previously expressed strong disapproval of the major parts of the committee bill. That bill would provide nonservice-connected pensions of $105 month at age 65 for World War II and Korean War veterans Run-down because of Tired Blood'?

Markland Dial GL 9-9802 annual incomes are less than $1,400 if single or $2,700 if with dependents. The rate would be 20 per cent higher for those with at least 30 days overseas service. It would also raise compensation for service-connected injury generally by 10 to 15 per cent and increase payments to veterans' widows. The new Legion-VFW plan would make a number of es in the committee bill, including dropping the pension to $90 a month and the overseas bonus to 10 per cent. Teague's version would knock out the pension features except for a 5 per cent premium for overseas service and a raise from $135 to $150 in pensions to veterans seriously disabled.

It would retain. service-connected disability compensation increases including 8 rise from $181 to $250 a month in the compensation to the totally disabled. Under the present limited non-connected penston a veteran can get $66.15 monthly at any age if permanently and totally disabled and if his income, falls within the $1,400 and ceilings. The rate goes up to $78.75 a month at age 65 or if he has been a pensioner continuously for 10 years. WALTON WALTON Twenty-one mem-.
