NAVY URGES VETERANS TO FILE CLAIM FOR TERMINAL LEAVE PAY

   The Navy urges all of its veterans to file claim for terminal leave pay as 
soon as possible. Necessary forms for filing claims are available at all U. S. 
Post Offices and contain detailed instructions on how to fill them out.  In 
addition, local representatives of the Veteran's Administration are equally 
able to help veterans with terminal leave pay questions.
   Less than half of the estimated total of 3,500,000 claims for leave 
benefits have been received by the U. S. Navy terminal leave disbursing office 
at Great Lakes, Ill., although the Navy has set up a production line procedure 
which is paying claims at the rate of 2,000 per day.
   On December 16, 1946, two months after the Navy put this stream-lined 
operation in motion, the millionth claim was paid.  However it was stated that 
unless veterans who have not submitted claims do so promptly it will be 
impossible to maintain the current rate of payment.  Former Navy men are urged 
to get in their individual claims while production capacity of the terminal 
leave disbursing office is at its peak.
   Although the bonds in which men are paid for terminal leave are not payable 
for five years, they can be used for payment on National Government Life 
Insurance premiums.  Furthermore, in the event of the death of a veteran, his 
next of kin can convert the bonds into cash at once.
