VA SAYS MORE

MEDICS GS NEEDED

\ioiana Has 1268 1268 Requests For Exams Pending.

The Indiana Veterans’ administration admitted today that insufficient medical personnel was the reason it could not handle veterans’

requests for physical examinations. A backlog of 1268 requests was

pending this month, the . Indiana

VA said, following the completion of 515 physical examinations. Awaiting admission in veterans’ hospitals as of this month were 481 veterans. All had non-service connected ‘disabilities. 20,998 Pensions Granted The VA pointed to its case load as the reason for its slowness in processing claims, as well as insufficient personnel. Disability awards made to Hoosier veterans of world war II in the last six months are nearly double those made to war I veterans in the last 27 years, the VA said. A total of 20,998 pensions have been granted to war II veterans since August, compared with 11,152 made to war I veterans in, the last quarter century, according to VA figures.

Dear Folks—

Spring was bustin’ out all over this week in the form of sunny skies, drizzles and downpours, returning robins and redbirds, high-flying kites, pushcart ice-cream vendors wut, and horseshoe pitching (aan at Pire Station 13. . . At one point tempera tures sailed to a light headed 68, but gradually settled down under a driving rain and zign ' zaggy zippy March gusts. And as Old Sol crept inevitably back to the temperate zone, the city was bathed in daylight from 5:30 a. m, to 5:30 p. m, with the days lengthening so rapidly their growth; like that of Hoosier corn, could almost be seen with the naked eye. . . . The “open window" season brought its usual epidemic of home burglaries, . . . One Meridian st. apartment dweller sacrificed $6000 worth of jewelry in the annual “spring cleaning,” on the same night a St. Joseph st. resident woke up in time to see his trousers disappearing over a window ledge. . . Another surefire sign of spring was a sudden outcropping of political candidates, some of them World War II veterans. . . Start of the 40-day Lenten season was observed by churches of all denominations and Indianapolis’ 600 Baptist Sunday school classes launched a gigantic “back to church" campaign, with stern emphasis on the younger set.
