Q. If a disabled veteran is rated
totally disabled by the Veterans
Administration is it permissible
for him to take part-time em
ployment?
A. Each case rests on its own
merits. The nature of the dis
ability and the nature of the
employment are all important
Employability is usually con
sidered in determining the deg
ree of disability but is not nec
essarily the deciding factor,
i Often part-time employment is j
considered occupational therapy
—good medicine. Again employ
ment may be evidence of im
provement and a reduction in
compensation or pension can
be expected. The best advice:
See a DAV national service of
ficer.
Q. Does a disabled veteran re
ceive an increase in pension on
reaching the age of 65?
A. Public Law 313 provides an
increase when a veteran has
been in receipt of pension for a
continued period of ten years
or attains age 65. Contact your
nearest DAV service officer for
complete information.

Tidal Wave Sirthplace
NEW YORK, N. Y. — (Soundphoto) —This diagram map shows
how the terrible series of tidal waves, which claimed at least 300 lives
and did untold millions of dollars worth of damage, started in the sea
somewhere off Dutch Harbor, Alaska, (1). The wave raced over the
Pacific at a 300 mile an hour speed and hit the Hawaiian Islands,
(2), and the west coast of North America, (3). A sudden drop of the
ocean floor is believed to have started the mammoth hills of water in
motion.
