WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (U. P.).— The Veterans’ Administration reported to Congress today that more veterans were treated for disabilities -, during the fiscal year 1939 than in } any other year. ba Admissions to veterans’ hospitals t for treatment in the year ended § June 30, 1939, totalled 165,576, an i increase of 8 per cent over the pre-

e of the admissions were for treat- + ment of disabilities not connected ~ with war service. Since March 3, 1919, when the ac- _. quisition of Government hospital facilities was first authorized for the treatment of World War veterans, admissions have totaled 2,028,865. _ Since June 7, 1924, when hospitalization was first authorized for veterans of all wars without regard to origin of their disabilities, 1,206,966, or about 75 per cent of all admissions, have been for treatment of disabilities not connected with war service, Increase in Patients

. At the expiration of the fiscal year, veterans’ hospitals had 54,117 ' patients, an increase of -3218 over the same day in the previous year. During the year 164,760 veterans were discharged after an average of 72.4 days in hospitals. The total number of beds in facilities controlled by the Administration June 30, 1939, was 71,124 as compared with 68,789 on the same day in 1938. The report said that upon completion of new construction for which funds are available, the Administration will have under its control 82,574 beds.

Work

All Marion County township trustees today started preliminary steps toward establishing the food stamp plan for handling relief gro=cery orders in co-operation with the Fedgral Surplus Commodities Corp. Plans were launched following a conference at the State House yes-

terday when all trustees agreed. to co-operate in the. project.

Co-opération - Promised

They explained, however, that getting the program under way will be a complicated procedure and that it may take several weeks to draft working details. { Governor M. Clifford Townsend said the State Administration will co-operate with the Trustees in establishing the Food Stamp system. “I think the Stamp Plan of food distribution is a fine thing,” he said. : Three of the trustees, Henry Mueller, Center Township; Charles M. Dawson, Washington Township, and Herbert H. McClelland, of Wayne Township, were appointed as a committee to start the project.

Stamps Used As Money

First the committee will have to get legal advice on a procedure to establish a revolving fund of about $75,000 which Edward P. Brennan, Staté Accounts Board head, said will be necessary to set up the stamp plan with the Federal Treasury. It

was believed thé county auditor could advance the fund. The stamps are issued by the

Federal Treasury, giving them the same status as actual money. “After a revolving fund is established, the trustees must organize a clearing house where Federal officials can distribute and collect the stamps,” Mr. Brennan declared.

“After co-operation of everyone is assured, the trustees can proceed to start the program working,” Mr. Brennan said. “We have estimated that food dealers would benefit at the rate of about $200,000 a month more business by handling the surplus commodities under the stamp plan.” Blue and Orange Issues

Under the food stamp plan, the commodities would be sold to grocers who in turn would distribute them for stamps at a reasonable profit, Mr. Brennan said. There are two kinds: of stamps. One is blue and the other orange. The blue stamps can be used only for the purchase of food that is listed at grocery stores as surplus food commodities by the Federal Government. This list would be issued about once a week. The orange stamps can be used for the purchase of any article at a general store, including household goods. Under Jthe plan, the orange stamps can be purchased by WPA workers or other Governmient workrelief employees and with each $1 worth of orange stamps the purchaser would be given 50 cents worth of blue stamps. The direct relief clients would get

their food relief orders from township trustees the same as they have in the past but in addition to the order they would be given blue stamps equal to half the amount of their order. They would use the

blue stamps to augment their family food supplies. Mr. Brennan said the plan will eliminate all chances for trustees to show favoritism among grocers on food bought with stamps.

“ture Presidency if Blessed : By Roosevelt. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (U.P)— The Eastern campaign manager for Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt, candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination if

| President Roosevelt does not seek a

third term, said today that the Democratic nomination this year

(will be difficult to get without the

President’s support. Oscar Ewing, New York attorney who was a student with Mr. McNutt

.|at Indiana University, returned to-

day from a trip through 13 Eastern states to sound out opinion. He appraised the political situation as follows: 1. The President can have the nomination “hands down” if he wants it. . 2. The blessings of Mr. Roosevelt would give any candidate a decided edge in the convention, but should he support Mr. McNutt, the nomination would be a “push-over.” 3. Candidates running without the President’s blessing would have a difficult time overcoming that handicap. 4. In the event of a free-for-all convention, with Mr. Roosevelt maintaining a “hands-off” policy, Mr. McNutt could outrun the field.

DUBLIN, Jan. 5 (U. P.).—Five thousand ' special policemen armed with rifles and revolvers were stationed along the 180-mile border of North Ireland today while the Government of Eire began a smashing offensive against the outlawed Irish Republican Army at home.
