BUREAU OF THE BUDGET
WASHINGTON 25, D.C.
NOV 9 1945
My dear Mr. Latta:
The Congress has en acted S. 542, "For the relief of Mrs.
Minnie A. Beltz.'
It is the purpose of the bill to pay the sum of $5,000
to Mrs. Minnie A. Beltz, of Seattle, Washington, in settle-
ment of all claims against the United States on account of
personal injuries sustained on August 18, 1944, when she was
struck while crossing the street at a street intersection in
Seattle, Washington, by a Navy station wagon.
It appears that on the date in question a station wagon of
the Navy Department was being operated on official business and
was following another vehicle in the center lane of a three-lane
highway; that the preceding vehicle slowed and came to a stop at
a street intersection; and that t he driver of the station wagon
then pulled to the left into the crosswalk, thereby causing the
accident in question.
As a result of the accident the claiment sustained lacera-
tions of the face, a fracture of the upper jaw, a fracture of the
right leg just below the knee, and also a concussion of the brain.
She was fifty-six years of age at the time of the accident and was
employed at the rate of $45 per week. She sustained a loss of earn-
ings in the amount of approximately $2,340, which represented one
year's pay. She incurred medical and hospital expenses in the
amount of $1,522.05 and medical evidence indicates that she will
probably be required to expend an additional amount of $500 to cor-
rect facial injuries.
A facsimile of the enrolled enactment has been referred to
the Navy Department, and it S reply, interposing no objection to
the approval of the bill, is attached.
