Single Rate
Since the mortality rate for
persons 40 and under did not
vary greatly, a single dividend
rate will apply to that entire
age group, he said.
The dividend will be paid at
the same rate on both term and
converted policies. No pay-
ments will be made for periods
of lapse. He said:
“The scale does not apply to
insurance on a permanent plan
which has been surrendered for
a reduced paid-up amount.
“These cases will be handled

Washington.—The top divid-
end checks to be sent to World i
War II veterans on their na-
tional service life insurance will
be for $528. Dividends will
start going out in January’.
Veterans Administrator Carl
R. Gray Jr disclosed this today
in releasing the formula to be
used in distributing the $2,800,.
000,000 dividend among some
16,000,000 veterans and their
dependents and heirs. He plan-
ned to release it next Sunday
but changed his plans because
of published reports about the
formula.
Non-Taxable
The dividend, to be paid be-
fore next June 30, is not sub-
ject to income tax. Veterans
must apply for it, and about
three-fourths of them have al-
ready done so.
The formula, Gray said, is
calculated on the basis of a
dividend of 55 cents for each
$1000 of insurance, ror each
month the policy was in force
before its anniversary date in
1948, for all policy-holders who
were aged 40 or younger at
the time the policy was issued.
For older veterans, the divi-
dends declines gradually until
it is 20 cents a month, for each
$1000 of insurance, for veter-
ans 55 and over when the policy
was issued.

Hunters To Return Bands
Washington, Sept. 28.—Dove
hunters are careless about re-

fall to send in the bands they
find cn the birds they kill.
It said a record-breaking
waterfowl and 5000 mourning
doves were banded in Alaska,
Canada and the United States
during the past year.
