As Regional Insurance Officer for the Veterans Administration Regional Office at Portland, Oregon, I am responsible for the development and administra- tion of the Government Life Insurance Program in the State of Oregon. I work directly under the Regional Manager and act as his technical advisor on all insurance matters. It is my responsibility to determine the best methods for the development of this program and I am guided only by official publications, such as laws enacted by Congress, circulars, and technical and administrative bulletins from higher authority. A wide latitude is allowed in the selection of these methods. This program calls for the dissemination of information of a technical and administra?ive nature to Contact Representatives of the Veterans Administration and to Service Officers representing The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, This American Red Cross, life insurance groups, and other civil and fraternal organizations. Talks are given to groups of these individuals and also to their organizations. An average of over one talk a week is given to some service organization, civil, or fraternal group. Frequent radio talks are given over radio stations through out the state. Am Insurance Officer I supervise an assistant insurance officer who carries on some of the functions outlined above, an insurance claims clerk, and secretarial aides. Also, I have direct technical supervision of all insurance matters over approximately fifty Contact Representatives of the Veterans Administration through- out the state. The importance of this work cannot be over emphasized, as it is absolutely necessary that all Contact Representatives be thoroughly versed in both National Service Life Insurance and United States Government Life Insurance so that they in turn may assist the Veteran in the details of his Goverment Insurance. The amount of Government Insurance that is reinstated or actually continued in the regional area is a direct reflection on the ability of the Insurance Officer to properly plan and carry out such an extensive and far reaching program. It is also necessary that I have the utmost cooperation from individual insurance underwriters operating in the state. Therefore it is necessary that they too are well versed in Government Insurance and have- had the benefits explained to them so that they too will cooperate with the- program. This vequires-addressing agency meetings and also underwriting organization meetings. r. My-offioe must be ready at all time to receive individual agents who come in for technical assistance and advice as to procedures. As Insurance Officer I supervise a program of public relations which is carried on through a public relations officer. This consists of preparing news releases for papers and radio, and the use of transcribed broadcasts of regular programs concerning insurance distributed on a national scale. When on field trips through the state not only are the Veterans Administration personnel called but also all Service Officers, their organizations, civic leaders, and press and radio outlets as well. Closs liaison is maintained at all times with the State Insurance Commissioner and his staff to insure cooperation of local underwriters in the program. All claims for disability insurance benefits are processed through my office under my direct supervision. Development of these claims and complete follow up is, maintained by the office. All correspondence concerning insurance is answered by this office. '""-effec -'"en ,,te ee ""^?ed a to _ ape .on II. I entered on active duty with the Army in August 1940. My first assign- ment was that of Adjutant and Plans and Training Officer for an armored battalion of the First Armored Division. In this capacity I was responsible for all administrative functions of the organization and also for the preparation and carrying out of all training schedules. This organization was usually carried as overstrength and as personnel became trained they were used to form the nucleus of newly formed units. In June of 1941, I attended a Division school for Air Ground Liaison Officers and then a three month course at the Armored Force School to be qualified as a Communications Officer. I was then assigned in this capacity to the 752nd Tank Battalion I was responsible for securing all radio and other signal equipment installing it in our vehicles, and also training operating personnel in its use. It might be noted that this was the first completely equipped Tank Battalion in the Army so far as radio was concerned. This unit was then made a part of the II Corps at Dessert Training Center and used as an experimental unit testing various radio equipment until our departure for England in August 1942. From our arrival in England and through the African. Campaign, I acted as Air Liaison Officer and Plans and_Training Officer. During the last month of the African Campaign this organization was expanded to several thousand men and became an overseas replacement training organization for Armored Force. I organized all the training programs and assisted in devising policy and procedure for this organization as it was the first unit of its kind organized. In November 1943 I was transferred to Fifth Army Headquarters in Italy and after a brief training period was assigned as an air ground liaison officer and placed on temporary duty with a light Bomb Group. It was my duty to keep the Commander of the Bomb Group informed as to the ground situation and to brief air- craft crews prior to missions as to locations of ground troops and to keep them informed as to the part they were playing in assisting the ground troops to advance. This particular group attacked fairly close in targets that directly effected the ground troops at the time. Further on completion of all missions flown I would attend and take part in the interrogation of aircraft crews. This was done to determine the effect of the mission and also with the hope of learning enemy information that could be of value to the ground troops. The results of these interrogations was immediately relayed to Army Headquarters. In April 1944 I was returned to the States under the rotation policy and in June I was assigned to the War Department General Staff G-2, My duty was that of Executive. Officer of the Historical Branch. This organization was by direction of the Chief of Staff of the Army, required to supsvise the preparation of all histories of all units and campaigns. Further it is the agency responsible for the publication of Battle Studies and the production of the complete Official History of the War. In this assignment I supervised all operations to provide administrative services for the Branch. I interpreted regulations, determined office policy and procedures, and put into operation methods for efficient function- ing of the office; coordinated work schedules and arranged for security of classified materials; supervised personnel in performance of such duties as the preparation and maintenance of supply, personnel, and special reports per- taining to personnel and administrative matters and allocation of office space; received, interviewed, and assisted visitors; and maintained liaison with staff and operating units. I coordinated the answering of all historical inquiries made to the War Department by outside agencies and supervised the distribution of all War Department historical publications to all interested agencies. 17.
