I f1 ri .5 1 AJICJIGAI'N AILY! N I VETERANS' NOT ES (Editor's Note:" This column is de- signed to provide veterans with In- formation of specific concern to them. All veterans are encouraged to submit topics or specific questions for con- sideration here.) Long sought for changes to liber- alize the National Service Life In- surance benefits have been made ef- fective by recent legislation accord- ing to the Veterans Administration. Among the changes which increase the advantages of NSLI include the elimination of restrictions on bene- ficiaries, the establishment of three types of endowment policies, provis- ion for various modes of settlement, including lump sum payments to beneficiaries, and the payment of benefits to insured veterans who are totally disabled. Can Be Insured Up to $10,000 Applications for insurance policies by all persons who served in the armed forces between October 8, 1940 and September 2, 1945 will now be granted up to the full $10,000 if the applicant meets the required health standards. Applications for insurance which were rejected solely for health rea- sons between the above two dates are now validated in those cases where the applicant was killed or totally disabled in the line of duty while in service. This change will provide an income for beneficiaries who received no insurance payments under the old law. Lifeand Endowment Policies In addition to the old 20 and 30- payment life conversion policies, en- dowment policies for the age of 60 or 65 and a straight 20-year endow- ment policy are now available. ' Instead of the 120 equal monthly payments by which the beneficiary received payment, a lump sum set- tlement' or monthly payments rang- ing, from 36 to 240 months may be substituted. With these changes, National Ser- vice Life Insurance is etimated to be from 20 to 23 per cent less than comparable civilian - insurance and veterans who have permitted' their policies to lapse are urged to exam- ine the advisability of reinstatement. Information Can Be Obtained Information regarding reinstate- ment of a policy or any of the changes or benefits of NSLI can be obtained from the Contact Office of the Veterans Administration by call- ing 3503 or by a personal visit to the office in Rm. 205 State Savings Bank Building, 103 B. Washington, Ann Arbor. Mortensen.. . (Continued from Page 1) Keyes' maneuver was one of many made during - the afternoon session. Charges Money Wasted Louis Burke, Mortenson's attorney, attacked Brusstar and Gordon Gillis, special investigator, on grounds that they were wasting the taxpayers' money by presenting evidence in the hearings. He forced the dapper Gillis, who was placed on the stand by Brusstar, to reveal that the combined salaries of the two men was $75 per day. On re-direct examination, Brus- star retorted: "If it is possible to hand this to someone else, I don't want to be hornin' in." Commissioner Joseph Hooper then announced that the one-man grand jury had been requested to conduct the case against the two officers. Confessions Sought Gillis testified that in conversations with Mortenson and Gehringer, he had sought to get confessions of guilt and in Gehringer's case, had suggested that "immunity might be arranged." Both refused and were determined to fight the case, Gillis said. Keyes kept Gillis under cross-ex- amination for 45 minutes in an effort to impugn his testimony. Under questioning by Keyes, Gillis admitted that Gehringer had said: "I have nothing to tell and that's the truth." Keyes also forced Gillis to admit that his memory of details regarding con- versations with Gehringer were "fog- gy." Gambling Complaint Reported Earlier in the day, Joseph Huizen- ga, 27, a patrolman, told the com- mission that in 1945 he reported a complaint of gambling activity at the United Cigar Store, 118 E. Huron, and that the Mortenson said: "There's no sense in bother with the cigar store. If you stop it in one place, it will just start up in another." Three former clerks at the cigar store testified in the morning ses- sion that horse-race bet booking was done on a large scale at the store. Sidney Smith, one of the clerks, said he was employed to take bets and that the daily cash turn-over averag- ed $1,500 and that sometimes $7,000 in bets were "laid off" for out-of- state gamblers through the cigar store booking office. Pollock Is Replaced Ir. James K. Potock, of the polit- ical science department, was official- 'U' Museums Offer Children Three Exhibits Whether or not the weather man can change the weather is the sub- ject of one of three exhibits for children now on display at the Uni- versity Museums until August 16. The exhibits, entitled "Mr. Slice Takes a Journey," "A World Farm- er," and "Can the Weather Man Change the Weather," are designed for children of elementary and junior high school age. They illustrate the story of bread, the activities and pro- ducts of the farm, and the factors governing the weather. They were 'planned and executed by the class in Children's Museums under the direc- tion of Margaret Brayton, director of the Children's Museum in Detroit, who is teaching a summer course at the University. Filmed by Harmon Foundation Student research activities leading to the completed exhibits are being filmed by the Harmon Foundation of New York City, as experimental and philanthropic organization whose purpose is to descover the techniques of research and design, script writ- ing techniques, and visual processes. The film is an experiment to show what the University is doing to train people engaged in museum work, ac- cording to Evelyn S. Brown, Assist- ant Director of the Harmon Founda- tion, with particular emphasis on how the principles of children's mu- seum techniques can be adapted to the needs of educators. More Films To Be Made in Future Further process films of museum techniques will probably be made in the near future. Sets of all pictures, including the film illustrating the construction of the three current axhibits, will be kept at the Univer- ity Museums. The exhibits are on display daily from, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Games and other activities have also been plan- ned for the children while visiting the Museums.: 'U' High School Students T ak e To TheAir' Twelve University High School tudents were taken on plane rides at Ann Arbor airport yesterday by Prof. Marshall Byrne, head of the Industrial Arts department. The students, ranging from seventh to twelfth graders, were taken up two at a time by Prof. Byrne in his own Stinson Voyager plane. During the twenty minute rides, all but the youngest were given a chance to handle the plane. "The kids weren't scared at all," said Prof. Byrnes, who is also assis- tant. Professor of Industrial Educa- tion at the University. Their reac- tions can be described as continuous "ohs" and "ahs." Anyone can learn to fly according to Prof. Byrnes who started flying two years ago at the age of 57 and now has had more than 220 hours in the air. Hit by Soviet Writer MOSCOW, Aug. 7-(P)-Soviet journalist Ilya Ehrenburg said today Hollywood's producers had achieved complete mastery over the American mind and that its censors stamped out any semblance of free thought. The average American, Ehrenburg wrote in the government newspaper Isvestia, is convinced he is an inde- pendent thinker, but actually "re- peats what he has read in the news- paper, heard on the radio or seen on the screen." However, he added, "I am con- vinced the American reader is al- most always wiser than the paper he reads." Prof. Kenneth Pike To Discuss American Vowel Usage Today music I Prof. Kenneth L. Pike, of the Uni- versity Linguistics Institute, will de- liver a lecture on "The American- English Vowels" at 1 p.m. today in Rm. 308 of the Union.

During the winter Prof. Pike does research with the Mixteco langu- age, particular to a native tribe of about 100,000 in southern Mexico, partly under the aegis of the Mexican. government.

School Children Aid State Water Survey LANSING, Aug. 7-P)--State geol- ogists have enlisted the aid of Michi- gan school children this fall in mak- ing a survey of water supplies and sources so that they can be wisely used and conserved. The children will make a report on all wells in their districts. These re- ports will be compiled, into a state. water index to be used by geologists of the State Conservation Depart- ment and the U.S. Geologic Survey. Reporting acute water problems in Battye Creek, Flint, Alma, Holland, Kalanazoo and several other areas of the state, Helen Martin, Conserva- tion Department geologist, declared that the state's water supply is be- coming "more critical every day." Geologists believe that an accurate water inventory will help them de- termine where wells, and industrial and municipal water supplies should be located and what measures should be taken to conserve the supply, she ,reported.
