To Tighten Up On Vets Medical Care Ike Administration Favors Economies WASHINGTON.«VP L_ The Eiflenhower administration thinks the time has come to quit building veterans hospitals. It wants congress to tighten up on free medical care for ex-Gls whose ailments are not due to military service. It wants more veterans to seek private hospitalization, instead of government care, for inon-service-connected ills requiring treatment for 10 days or less. Where they can't pay. It thinks local agencies might start footing more of the bills. ‘ 5 ..

Budget director Joseph M. Dodge outlined the administration's sand on the hotly-controversial issue in a letter to a house veterans subcommittee. The subcommittee

has been looking Into charges that veterans who could afford private care are k “abusing" the privilege of tree hospitalization tor ailments that are not connected with their military service. Dodge’s letter was written July 7.* It came to light with publication of the subcommittee's hearings. Dodge said the 130,000 beds in veterans hospitals now built or about to be finished are all tljiat can be run efficiently under one management. But he said 39,000 more beds will be needed if present benefits are continued. \. The 20,000,000 existing veterans comprise 40 percent of all adult males. Dodge noted. To guarantee this group the same “unrestricted” free hospital care now provided will coat 1700,009.000 a year by 1975, he Said. The present annual cost is around 1500.000,000. "If wotld conditions require continuation of the draft and of wartime benefits, Dodge said, "the time will come when substantially all the adult male population . . .

will be veterans and the federal governments will be confronted with a critical problem in attempting to provide them with hospital care." Dodge didii't suggest any change in the present policy of unlimited free care for veterans whose ailments are due to their service. They are treated as a'matter of right. Under laws going back to 19*24, veteraqs with non-service-connected ailments also get free treatment, as a privilege, if beds are available and if they say . they can’t afford private treatment. Dodge said so-called “pauper’s oath" has evidently failed to discourage applications for free treatment for >ills incurred in civilian life. He said, two-thirds of veterans hospital beds are used for non-service-connected cases, and that the proportion will steadily grow. When the house appropriations committee this year wrote new restrictions on free hospital care into the veterans administration appropriation bill, veterans groups protested and the house killed the proposed limitations. The veterans subcommittee \ then started its hearings. J *■ i I ' k On The Spot NpRTH HAVEN, Conn., UP — Ah automobile driven by toward Johnson of Hamdan crashed into a house.

Schools Os Nation ■ ■' r ■; To Be Overcrowded C . More Than Half To Be Overcrowded i ? WASHINGTON UP —Three out of every five school room* iu the United States will be overcrowded this fall, the U. S. office of educa-. tion said today. The nation's public grade and high schools are short about 345,000 classrooms for the record numl>er of pupils who will be swarming back to school, the office said. Grade schools also will be short about 72.000 qualified- teachers. The office said this, shortage can be met only by further overcrowding or hiring teachers who don’t meet “desirable" educational standards. A survey by the education office showed that school and college enrollment in the coming school year will be the biggest in historysome 36.949,700 students, or 23.1 per cent nf the total U. S. population. That is nearly 2,000,000 more than last year. Most of the increase will occur in the grade schools. Some 26.931,COO children—'l,sß2.ooo more than last year—will attend public and private elementary schools. More than 3,000,000 of them will be entering first grade. Secondary schools, both public) and, ' private, will have 7.302,000 ' students, an increase,, of 274.000. The college and university enrollment will total about 2,500.000 or 100,900 more than last year. . iThp education office said school construction “is not keeping pace with classrooms needs." even though a record 50.000 new classrooms were built last year and many more will be added this year. ' All told, 425.000 additional classrooms will be ueeded by l>.v when the schools and colleges are expected to have 10.000.000 more students (han they had last spring. It also said colleges and normal schools are turning out an inadequate number of new teachers. For example. elementary teachers were graduated this year, but the public schools need 118.000. iTraffic Survey . PORTLAND. Ind., UP — In six hours, high school students noted 3,805 driving violations in fchis ci6' of 7,900. The most common faults were failure to signal and to stop at intersections.
