IHEY'RE STILL

r COMING HOME

(Thos. M. Jennings, County Director, Dept. of Veterans Affairs.) If you recall this paper was good enough to publish my story about "Wounds That Don't Show" so let's continue the story about the fellow with the frozen feet that he received in a foxhole laet winter and see what the Veteran's Administration is doing for a fellow so deserving. We mailed to the Veteran's Administration the proper papers on the fourteenth day of "February and received an answer back on the eighteenth. This letter stated that he did not have a record of this, but for him to report in person on his own time and expense. He reports on the twenty-sixth of his own time and expense. No examination was given and he was told to return home, and sit down and write the story. This the veteran did, but had us to assist him. After idue time we waited and when he never got any results we sent a letter April the :"irst to Mr. Cummins, manager, sending along the . story from the newspaper on March 29th. Mr, Adams, the man who sent the letter asking that he report, the veteran's name being ,on . the letter, comes back and says that he never reported and no record what-so-ever was in the office about his case. The veteran, taking our coov of the letter ;'or his authority to report and showing it to them at the hospital. , The writer attended a district meeting in Bloomfield recently f the American Legion where steps were to be taken to either uphold Commander Stelle or reject. I remember well the words of Post Commander of the State Department Floyd Young. He stated that the Veterans Administration was not interested in the men. He found that out a long time ago. Well do I remember my own experience in the number of hospitals I have been for treatment. For twenty-seven years the Veterans Administration have had trained men in there not to help the veterans but to take awfey from them the w.very.' way of life. As I see ithe

;j . trend in the various places, Vigo Ordnance, Crane Depot and the other government places that hire men make our war veterans go to the end of the line on the eligibility list, give them any kind of a job so they will grumble and then they can release them. When men who worked there who were deferred from the draft by the state - department of the draft under a blanket deferment of which the local board had no jurisdiction. Then these boys who went out and took the withering fire are ret aside for such Americans as these. Listen Mr. and Mrs. Public, you bought Liberty Bonds, probably are stil buying them, you subscribed to the Red Cross and the USO and did everything possible to make the burden easier for your boy, now let me ask you a favor. I have seen the time from the treatment that I have received in the veterans hospital, where practically the same old group are still running it. Men head of it now were there 15 and 20 years ago. I have gone for treatment because I could not help myself. I have sat on the side of my bed and cried because I was treated like I was by a government that a few years before I had offered my very life for. They are still being treated that way by the ramp hands that treated us of World War I that way. It's time that you and I saw that our boys were treated as men that have suffered for us, let their ?iiffirin now be cared for bv people that are classed as an , agent of mercy. The other day I called long distance to the veteran's hos

pital and advised them how a veteran was getting along that was back home. They deemed his case serious and instructed me to send him back in. When I informed him he was to go, he

said I'd rather go to a slaughter house than there. , Is that the way our boys with service conr nected disabilities should feel about the place we are providing them with to nurse them

back to health and strengh? Remember the office on the top floor of the Court House. Interviews every day except Tuesday and Friday. Always bring your discharge and all papers pertaining to your case, as that is the only way we can

help you. Thos. M. Jennings.

CHINESE REBELS CHARGE U. S. STRAFING Chinese Communists charged they had been strafed by United States warplanes and had shot down one in Central Manchuria, where the Chinese government's crack First Army was attacking the Communists on a 30-mile front. There were no such reports from any other quarters and a U. S. Army headquarters spokesman at Chungking declared that the only United States plane in the battle zone was an unarmed liaison craft seized on the ground by the Communists at Changchun last week.

SET RECORD ON INTERCITY FLIGHT A jet-propelled Army Air Forces P-80 plane streaked from New York to Washington in 29 minutes and 15 seconds Sunday, halving the previous intercity record. Piloted by Capt. Martin L. Smith, Kidder, Mo., the "Shooting Star" left LaGuardia Field, New York, shortly before four p. m. and flashed past the tower at National Airport a little before 4:30. Armp operations officers said the New York -Washington airline distance is 226 miles. This would make Smith's average speed better than 450 miles a'n hour.

HOLDUP CLAIMS SECOND VICTIM Rex E. Moonshower, 45 years old,- died of a bullet wound suffered Saturday as he thwarted an attempted robbery of the Hoosier Mint Company at Indianapolis and shot to death the would.be bandit. Moonshower, office manager for the vending machine firm, told police the robber, identified by fingerprints as John Balpho Miles, 35, of Wilmington, Cal., entered the company office and said, "This is a stickup." Moonshower said he grabbed a gun and Miles emptied a pistol at him. one bullet striking him in the abdomen. Moonshower returned the fire and Miles staggered through the door and fell dead on the sidewalk. Miles' wife, Mrs. Beatrice C. Milesj 32, was arrested on a vagrancy charge in a hotel room and held under $1,000 bond. She said she remarried him a week ago in Memphis, Tenn., after his release from the Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan. She had divorced him, she said, when he began an eight-year sentence for counterfeiting.

V. S. horse and mule population declined from a peak of 27,000,000' in 1918, to about 14,000,000 in 1941. It is estimated that this population will become stabilized at around 5,000,000. There is only one specimen of the African okapi in the U. 8., and it Is in the New York Zoological Park, New York. Its nearest ancestor died out 60,000,000 years agu.
