By HARRY II. HUNT. INDIANAPOLIS July 27- A crosspection of opinion among ex-service men a to the functioning of the Veterans bureau, charged with "the hospitalization and compensation of

disabled veterans, can bo found in th dally mountain of mail reaching American Legion headquarters here. Running through almost every letter Is a note of helplessness, almost of hopelciHsnese, because of intermir.ab'e delaj's. Indecision and red tape in Which cafles have become Involved. lAck of authority In the local ub-oMlces of the bureau cause even the most minor matters affecting a case to be passed on to the district office for Ruling. Reports to district offices often po unanswered for months. Often these offices paja matters along to the Washlnjrton office for ruling. More delay. More waiting. Parins the Bark. Through this method, a syetem of buck-passing ha been evolved. Much hullabaloo waa made in bureau publicity a few months ago over "clean-up squads," which

toured the country to get first-hand facta on delayed cases to expedite their settlement. Yet an average day's mall brings to the legion from a core to a hundred letters from men examined by these nquads three and four months ago, without further action. Typical Ilxample.

Trrjical of these is the cajse of

Emory King of Durand, Mich.

King wa phot by a machine gun bullet at Verdun. The bullet was not removed because of Its nearness to his htfart. He has not been able to work for a year, and has no meana by which to tmpport himselt and wife. "When the "clean-up squad" visited Caglnaw, Mich., in April, King ?aw a ray of hope. He went to Saslnaw,

presented his case and

an examination. III? case would get prompt action he waa told. He's still waiting. Payments Stopped. Thomas M. England of Brownstown. Ind.. was drawing $20 a month disability compensation from the

bureau. In February, without notice, ali disability payments were etoPjped. England haa written and written again to the district office at Cincin

nati in an attempt to have his caae reopened. Narj' an answer.

Meanwhile, unable to work, he

has been under the care of a doctor.

Caused at lYont. Lawrence A. Peavey, Jamestown, N. Y.. fighting at the front, was severely gassed July 15, 1918. He was never able for duty again. On the basirt of recognized disabilities, he was paid $22.50 a month by the government. Later this was arbitrarily cut to $13.50, thn to J9. Because of the email compensation, Peavey against the advice ot his physicians waa compelled to work. Ho secured employment as a solicitor for the Metropolitan Insurance company. He collapsed at his work, and on examination by the insurance company's physician was rated as 100 per cent disabled for company service and sent to the company's; sanitarium at Mt. McGregor. N. Y. I-lxa miner's Report. Dr. Edward L. Hazeltlne. a designated medical examiner for the second district of the Veterans bureau, says of Peavey'a caee: "He should not be allowed to remain in this climate much longer. He has clinical symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis. He should get plenty of rest, a change of work and be tree from financial worries. "On Oct. 27, 1921. I examined this man and suggested he have a change of climate and work and that he should receive at least 75 percent compensation. That was eight months ago and he has declined since that time. There are many cases like these.
