Regional Expansion
In line with the Veterans admin
istration’s objective of taking the
administration out to the “grass
roots” of the country, rather than
centralizing the organization in
Washington, Administrator Omar N.
Bradley has announced the opening
of 21 new centrally-located regional
offices and the contracting for ap
proximately 300 advisement centers.
Regional downtown offices weie
opened in Des Moines, Wichita, At
lanta, Minneapolis, San Francisco,
Portland, Indianapolis, Los An
geles, Muskogee, Okla., Phoenix,
Helena, Mont., Detroit, Milwaukee,
Cleveland, Chicago, Newark, Hart
ford, Charleston, W. Va., and Char
lotte, N. C.
New advisement centers were
opened at Greenville, S. C.; Bene
dict college, Columbia, S. C.; Uni
versity of Kansas at Kansas City,
Mo.; Tuskegee institute, Tuskegee,
Ala.; Eastern Oregon college at La
Grande, Ore., and Superior State
Teachers college, Superior, Wis.
Services of the advisement centers
are available to all veterans plan
ning to continue their education or
take vocational or rehabilitation
training either under public law 16
or the G.I. bill of rights.
Regional offices function as the op
erational offices of the administra
tion. Individual case records are
maintained at these offices and
claims are rated and adjudicated.
Almost all benefits administered by
the administration can be handled
at the regional office level.
Questions and Answers
Q. In July, 1.944, my brother was
killed on Guam. I was made his
beneficiary in his insurance policy.
But before he went across he made
a will that has never come to light
and this is causing some trouble
among the heirs as he was single.
Another brother in service says a
duplicate will was made and kept on
record somewhere. Could you tell
me where this will is kept?—
R. A. B., Houston, Mo.
A. Of course we would have no
knowledge where the will might be.
You might write to the finance offi
cer of his outfit. If you are refer
ring to national life insurance, the
money will be paid to whoever was
named beneficiary in the policy re
gardless of any will.
Q. Would it be possible for a sol
dier to get a release from the army,
if he is 25 years old, has a wife and
three small children, who live in the
country with no modern conveni
ences. The wife’s health is not good
and a 21-month-old baby daughter
must have an operation for removal
of a bone growth on her foot. He
is now somewhere in Japan aboard
a ship?—Mrs. M. E. M., Port Alle
gany, Pa.
A. He is eligible to apply for re
lease because of the three children.
Q. I have a friend who has been
in the army since December, 1944,
He left the states on July 2, 1945 and
is now in Japan. He has no de
pendents and is 19 years old. Will
you please tell me how many
points he has and how long it will
be before he is sent back to the
states? — Miss D. P., Dennison
Ohio.
A. He has approximately 16 points
as of December 5, 1945 and needs 55
to become eligible for discharge. He
probably has many more months 41b
serve.
Q. Will a mother who has a son
killed in action, and who is physical
ly unable to make her own support,
lose her pension if she marries? Will
a father’s pension be discontinued it
he marries? — Mr. T. S., Jackson,
Tenn.
A. In the case of a parent, the
question of marriage is not consid
ered. The pension is based upon de
pendency and whether the parent,
mother or father, has sufficient in
come to keep them.
Q. My son was killed in Italy Octo
ber 1 a year ago. His wife is named
as beneficiary in his insurance but
hasn't received any yet. What is the
delay? — A mother, Brownsville,
Tenn.
A. Have you filed a claim for your
insurance? Suggest that you write
to your nearest Veterans adminis
tration office, probably at Nashville
or Memphis, set out all the facts and
am sure you will get some action.
Q. When a soldier has been
through hell of the battlefield for two
years and has been discharged with
a tired and nervous condition which
can be cleared up by being at home
and rest, how can he get this psycho
neurotic name off his discharge so
he can go to college?—J. J. C., West-
by, Wis.
A. You have evidently received a
medical discharge and would sug
gest that you make application to
your regional Veterans administra
tion for a re-examination and an ap
Deal from the medical findings.
