' Army Suggests Photostat Use .Use of photostats rather than original discharge certificates as supporting evidence for claims under the so-called Terminal Leave Pay Act is being urged by Major General W. H. Kasten, Army .Chief of Finance. • “Many applicants are incon venienced in the pursuit of their prerogatives under the GI Bill of Rights by the inevitable delay which ocurs. in the processing of their leave claims,” General Kas ten said. “Although Finance Of ficers return original discharge .papers as quickly as they can, .many applicants find that profit able business deals are' held up or nullified by the fact that their honorable discharges are in the hands of'.the finance.officers.” He urged that veterans take ad ’vantage' r of t photostating services .which are offered free or at low cost by many service and veterans organizations. “Since a man re quires his original discharge cer tificate to, get GI loans, etc., it is to his interest to retain the certi ficate at all times,” he said. “Fi nance officers can get all the in formation they need from photo stat coDies of reasonable size.
