- Description:
- Mr. 0. L. Gilley from Barnsdall, Oklahoma, contacted his congressman, George B. Schwabe, regarding his son's burial and concerns about his wife's anxiety. Congressman Schwabe discussed the matter with the Veterans Administration and War Department, providing information about pending bills related to lump sum payments for life insurance of deceased service members. The establishment of a national cemetery in Okinawa was also discussed, with uncertainties due to ongoing operations in the Pacific theater. Mr. Gilley was advised to follow up in a few months for more information. Additionally, Congressman Schwabe shared positive feedback from his recent district tour and requested assistance with handling other cases.
