NSLI POLICIES HANDLED
IN BRANCH NO. 5
Handling of National Service
Life Insurance policies for veterans
living in five southeastern state, will
be decentralized from Washington
and New York on August 7.
Jurisdiction for more than one
and a third million policies in Ala-
barpa, South Carolina, Florida,
Georgia and Tennessee will be plac
ed in Branch No. 5, Veterans Ad
ministration, Atlanta, Ga.
Under the liberal terms of this
insurance plan a veteran may rein
state his insurance to any amount
up to $10,000. A lapsed policy
may again be picked up by paying
two monthly installments, and sign
ing an application carrying a state
ment of good health provided the
veteran acts before January 1, 1947.
The following questions are those
more frequently asked about vet
erans insurance:
Q. What veterans are eligible for
National Service Life Insurance?
A. All those discharged from
the armed services of World War
II.
Q. What are some of the ad
vantages of NSLI?
A. There are three advantages
of outstanding' importance to vet
erans:
(1) Low cost. NSLI policy rates
are the lowest. Reason: The Gov
ernment pays all the administrative
expenses. (2) No occupational re
strictions. The veteran doesn’t
have to pay extra if he has- a haz
ardous job. If a veteran’s physical
condition makes it impossible for
him to get other insurance its an
unbeatable bargain. (3) it is com
pletely creditor-proof.
Q. Can a lapsed policy of NSLI
be reinstated?
A Yes. By paying two monthly
premiums and signing an applica
tion stating that his health is as
good as it was at the time of lapse.
This reinstatement plan is effective
only until January 1, 1947.
Q. If a veteran is totally disab
led, must he continue to pay prem
iums on his NSLI?
A. Yes. But he may apply to
the Veterans Administration for
“waiver of premium” and he must
continue to pay premiums until
he has been granted his waiver.
Any excess premiums will be re
funded.
Q. Does converting an NSLI pol
icy mean changing from Govern
ment to private insurance?
A. No. It means changing from
a temporary to a permanent plan.
MARGARET MC CRAE, native
of Laurens and Liberty Hill,
South Carolina, who has for
the past two weeks replaced
Joan Wheatley as a regular per
former on the “Fred Waring
Pennsylvanians” program over
WIS and the NBC network.
Q. After converting his policy,
how does a veteran pay his pre
mium?
A. Monthly, quarterly, semi-an
nually or annually. He may obtain
a discount by paying in advance.
Q. What are the types of poli
cies that may be selected in convert
ing NSLI policies?
A. There are three choices: Or
dinary life; 20-pay life, and 30-pay
life. (At present Congress is con
sidering a bill to authorize other
type policies and optional modes of
payment.)
Q. How does a veteran convert
his NSLI?
A. He requests Form Number
358 from the nearest office of the
Veterans Administration, fills it in
properly and returns it to the Vet
erans Administration. Any contact
representative will assist in filling
in the form.
Q. To whom does a veteran pay
his insurance?
A. Make check or money order
payable to; “Treasurer of the Unit
ed States.” Make payments in per
son at local Veterans Administra
tion office or by mail to, “Insur
ance Service, NSLI, Veterans Ad
ministration Branch No. 5, Atlanta,
3. Georgia.
Q. Does sender simply enclose
check or money order covering his
premium?
A. No. Enclose full name, ad
dress, insurance certificate number
(N - number) and service serial
number. Continue sending prem
iums until advised differently by
the Veterans Administration.
For further information about
National Service Life Insurance,
Contact Representative A. M. Mc-
Whirter at 1113 Boyce street will
be glad to help you.

EM
FREEDOM is more honest than
government and io much more
productive. . . *. This proverb
might well be added to the lexi
con of “immortal words.” It came
from the lips of Ralph W. Gwinn
of Bronxville, N. Y., toward the
end of a speech'he made in Con
gress, last April 16. The address
was a review of 40 centuries of
price fixing by governments.
Down through the ages. Rep.
Gwinn traced the dismal trail of
political price pegging from King
Hammurabi of Babylon, who died
2,242 years before Christ, to our
own Chester Bowles. Each suc
cessive effort went to pot. The
oldest pile of wreckage, marking
the turn where some self-confi.-
dent ruler locked ^his economic
steering wheel, was in ancient
Babylon.
Many BABYLON was not the
More last nor the worst. An
other notable catastrophe
took place about 900 years later
as a result of the wage and price
freezing provisions of the Hittite
Code. Popular pressure in Asia
Minor influenced this case, but
served to prove how even the an
cient rulers ran afoul of sore
resentment against their imprac
tical tinkering with prices.
France’s egoistic Philip iv took
prices in hand and created a pain
ful scarcity of bread and clothing,
six centuries before Hitler. Three
or more English kings took turns
6 t issuing edicts against natural
iws, no less silly than Canute’s
ordering the tide not to come in.
Without fail, price control sys
tems have finally created scarcity
instead of improving production.
An OPA ROME was the con-
In Rome gressman’s most color
ful example. About 300
years before the birth of Christ,
Emperor Diocletian set up a sort
of opa for the whole Roman Em
pire. Propaganda went out first,
in an effort to sell the public os
the idea that rulers were muck
smarter than mere people. After
the edict, came a record-breaking
swarm of ministers and magis
trates to enforce prices, but they
did not do much good.
Did the emperor make his
prices hold? He did not! He
fixed a death penalty on people
who bought or sold above the
ceiling, but even Diocletian bed
his little under-cover problems
with price manipulation. Net
many "offenders" were executed.'
Magistrates took bribes, prices
rose anyhow and overflowed Into
black-markets without number.
Invariably, before the tramp of
armed aliens is heard in the
streets, rulers, who have ruined
the prosperity of their subjects,
run out of money themselves. A
hungry and angry people chased
Diocletian out of Rome but hie
evil work was done. Taxes were
devastating until Rome was e
ruin. History has not one price
fixing plan fit to copy, here or
anywhere.
A Message to the Veteran
VSJ CAN f2£VlV£ YOUR
lap;ed government
INSURANCE IN A JIFFY.
- NO PHYSICAL EXAM. IS
REQUIRED DURING l<?46.
WE APPEAL TO YOU ...
Think well before you allow your
Government Life Insurance to
lapse.
The world has learned that insur
ance is a necessity to every man.
He who can qualify physically is
fortunate indeed
Your National Service Life Insurance cannot be duplicated - - -
and is now greatly simplified:
1. All insurance matters may now be bandied locally. No need to clear through New
York or Washington. Mail payments to VA Branch Office, Atlanta, 3, Georgia—
or go in person to your local office.
2. You may now reinstate a lapsed policy by simply making two payments ami sign
ing a statement of good health. But do this NOW, as this privilege ends on Jan
uary 1, 1947.
