STRAYER TELLS OF PLANS TO AID VETERANS
National V. F. W. Chief, Is Home After First Leg of Nation-Wide Trip. Frank T. Strayer, national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, spoke this week before the Veterans of Foreign Wars meeting on the completion of the first leg of his nation-wide trip which will end in the fall of :.928. The progress made in equipping the national home for widows and orphans of former service men at Katon Rapids, Mich., was one of the major items 'of his talk. The inspection of the home was the last point on the 3,000-mile trip ending this week. Assails Contract System While in Washington, D. C., he talked with President Coolidge about the program of soldier pensions drawn up at the national encampment of the V. F. W. in September. He also visited Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, Gen. John J. Pershing, Secretary of Navy Curtis D Wilbur and Gen. Frank Hines, director general of the United States Veterans’ Bureau. I General Hines took Strayer through the four veterans’ hospitals in Washington, and General Pershing showed him the miniatures of each monument to be erected in France in memory of American dead. The Washington hospitals, Straycr said, with their well ordered service and careful attention given patients, contrast sharply with conditions found at the contract hospital at El&in, 111., caring for 470 cases. . Strayer generally denounced the contract system of caring for disabled service men. The Government pays only $2 a day for medical supervision and keep of each soldier. Outlines Flight Plans Strayer also outlined plans for his cross-country flight next June in the V. F. W. plane, Miss Detroit. A member of the Convention City post will make the trip as mechanic. Strayer will visit a number of State encampments in the plane. He expressed appreciation for the work of Edward Schaub, Convention City post commander, for his work in increasing membership in Indianapolis. Schaub, who gave the speech of welcome, announced that a radio program would be broadcast Friday over WFBM, Indianapolis Power Sc Ljght Company station.
