I. "BiU of Rights" is proposed in a bill Introduced by Senator Claude Pepper D-Fla). Pepper sa'd in a statement that the legislation embodies recom mendations of the American Le gion and National Education asso ciation. It proposes an increase in dependency allowances for veterans obtaining an education under the G. I.

bill. They now are allowed $50 a month for subsistence while studying if single, $75 a month if responsible for one or more dependents. The Pepper amemdment would increase this to S100 a month for two dependents. S125 for three, and $150 for four. Men over 25 no longer would have to prove that their education was interrupted when they entered service, but would be entitled to the same benefits as veterans under 25.

Veterans would be able to take advantage of the educational provisions later than the current two-year deadline, if they wished, giving them a chance to obtain jobs first. The maximum benefit now is four years of education. The Pepper proposal would grant qualified students in professional courses up to seven years.
