Bradley Brands Americans Heartless Toward Veterans|[§ DUE : TUESDAY

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 (U. Pm Veterans Administrator Gen. Omar © MN. Bradley last night bitterly denounced the “heartless” American people for their “indifference and apathy toward our returning vet-

In a scathing radio address, Gen. Bradley reminded Americans that ®the shooting war may be over

He sald peace did not restore sight or health; malaria other tropical diseases did not surrender with Japan; and paralyzed men have not forgotten the shells that splintered their spines. “Those heartless people who feel that the misery of war is over belittle the sacrifices and suffering of our hospitalized fighting men,” he added.

He referred to an official in Arfington County, Va. who objected to construction of a veterans hosThis, he said, “is only one of the

PRICE DECISION

At an earlier press conference, Gen. Bradley conceded that some veterans are drawing unemployment compensation as long as possible and not trying to get jobs. These, he added, are jeopardizing the whole program. At the present, he said, 1,700,000 veterans are drawing the $20-a-‘week unemployment payments with the average time on the rolls increasing. Veterans may draw such jobless pay 52 weeks. The two major problems facing veterans today, Gen. Bradley said, are housing and jobs. Unemployment is not critical at the present time but “we can see the roadblocks ahead,” he said. Gen. Brhdley called on employers to list with employment agencies the good positions as well as the low paying jobs. He sald he was confident that the building program can be accelerated greatly if all Americans “throw their .weight behind the

Decontrol Board Promises ‘Unbiased’ Ruling.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 (U., P.). —The price decontrol board, wading through a mass of conflicting testimony, today promised to hand down an unbiased decision Tuesday night on whether to restore price ceilings on meat, grain and dairy products. Obviously miffed at accusations it already had made up its mind to let OPA revive controls on major food items, the board bluntly declared that .the important decision will be its own. “Any past speculation as to our decision or any speculation between now and next Tuesday is pulled out of thin air,” board chairman Roy L. Thompson said in a statement. Under the revived OPA law, the board has until midnight Tuesday to decide whether price ceilings will be restored on meat, grain, dairy products; cotton seed and soy beans. veterans emergency housing pro-| Controls automatically will be gram.” clamped on again Wednesday un- “ ——— | less the board rules thatthe ceiling
