[CHAPTER 640] AN ACT For the relief of William Nally. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Admin- istrator of Veterans' Affairs is authorized and directed to pay to Wil- liam Nally, New York City, the proceeds of National Service Life Insurance Policy Numbered 10,171.649 issued to Ferdinand Ley, late private, Company A, Three Hundred and Nineteenth Medical Detach- ment, United States Army, who was killed in action in Luxemburg on February 21, 1945. Although the said William Nally was desig- nated by the insured as beneficiary of such policy, his claim for pay- ment thereunder was disallowed by the Veterans' Administration on the ground that he did not stand in loco parentis to the insured within the meaning of the National Service Life Insurance Act of 1940, as amended, because such relationship did not have its inception during the minority of the insured.
