BUREAU OF THE BUDGET
15.
WASHINGTON, 25, D. C.
and
APR 231946
My dear Mr. Latta:
On April 18, 1946, you advised this office that H. R. 1089, "For
the relief of Albert Cantalupo, Emma Cantalupo, and the legal guardian
of John Cantalupo, a minor", had been received at the White House and
requested reports and recomendations as to the approval of the bill.
It is the purpose of the bill to pay the sum of $1,708 to Albert
Cantalupo and Emma Cantalupo, of East Weymouth, Massachusetts, in
settlement of their claims against the United States by reason of ex-
penses incurred and losses sustained as a result of injuries to their
minor son, John Cantalupo, when he was struck by an Army truck on
September 28, 1943, and to pay to the legal guardian of John Cantalupo,
a minor, the sum of $2,791.01 in settlement of all claims against the
United States by reason of personal injuries sustained in the said
accident.
It appears that, on the date in question, an Army car operated by
a
member of the Nomen's Aumiliary Corps, on official business with a
commissioned officer of the Army as a passenger, was proceeding south
along one of the streets in East Tieymouth, Massachusetts; that a boy
ran out from the right in front of the Army vehicle; that in order to
avoid striking the boy, the Arny driver turned her vieli cle sharply to
the right and over the curb and proceeded across a strip of grass and
on to the sidewalk; that the car continued on the sidewalk until it
reached a group of boys accompanied by their teachers, at which point the
boys scattered and the driver of the vehicl swerved to her left into
the street; that John Cantalupo, fourteen years of age, in trying to
avoid being struck while it was on the sidewalk ran into the street and
was halfway across when the vehicle struck hin and knocked him down; and
that the right front wheel ran over the boy and the vehicle came to
a
stop with the right rear wheel resting upon his body.
As a result of the accident, young Cantalupo sustained multiple
contusions and abrasions of his face, both arms, his left leg and right
shoulder and a complete fracture of his left leg.
A facsimile of the enrolled enactment has been referred to the
War Department, and its reply, interposing no objection to the approval
of the bill, is attached.
