VA head explains veterans' affairs to Democrat faithfuls

Max Cleland, youthful head of the Veterans’ Administration, was in Warsaw Friday night to boost the stock of Second District Congressman Floyd J. Fithian, and in a talk to reporters prior to a fund-raising dinner at the fairgrounds, said “The country has not been able to separate the war from the warriors,” He, of course, was speaking about the recent Viet Nam war and those young men who served in it. Cleland himself lost his right arm and both legs in that war and returned to his native Georgia with high spirits and high aspirations for his country. He earned the Silver and Bronze star for bravery under fire. Boost For Fithian He spoke to a rousing crowd of Kosciusko County party faithfuls, numbering about 200. and said he came to Indiana to praise Floyd Fithian “because I know Floyd had a commitment to make government work on a com-

munity level." Fithian said, “I heard this young (age 34) man speak and knew I had to see that his message was brought to the Second District.” Most of his remarks at the press conference concerned the Viet Nam veteran and what his administration is trying to do for them. He said the Viet Nam veteran is cast as a loser. The Tet Offensive, the Mai Lai incident and drugs, all put together, have cast the Viet Nam veteran in the loser image, and Hollywood movies have presented him as the confused fellow, the crazy guy. He also noted that he came home from a war where he was not a clear winner as in World Warll. "The Viet Nam veteran carries a negative image," he said, but added that 65 per cent of them have made use of the GI Bill and 40 per cent have gone to college. As a result of this use of the GI Bill, the Veterans’ Administration is embarking on “Operation Boost.” He noted the controversy that surrounded the Viet Nam war, and reflected on the WWH veterans who went on to become mayors and elected officials on all levels. He cited the moving "Coming Home” as the best he has seen coming out of the Viet Nam War, because it allows a disabled veteran, John Voight, to show growth, maturity and other positive things. Twin Goals Administrator Cleland, who was a recent subject of the popular television show "60 Minutes,” said he has twin goals for his administration: Pension reform and health care. A third of the veterans live below the poverty level, and we need to do something about this. The Carter Administration supports this reform, he said. The total budget shows a decrease in GI Bill expenditures, but with a total budget of from $2 to $3 billion more should go into pensions and health care. Also, he added, Viet Nam veterans are in dire need of psychological adjustment counseling. Combat fatigue was less in Viet Nam veterans than in any other veteran, but it began to show up three or four years after the war. Suicides are 10 to 15 per cent higher in Viet Nam veterans and alcoholism is up. Cleland said we can expect President Carter to announce new initiatives along these lines. He called the Viet Nam veteran a "walking time bomb.” Biggest Disappointment Administrator Cleland said he felt his biggest disappointment is that he has not been able to put together a top rehabilitation team, but he said he is working on this and within six months he hopes to solve this problem. “We are currently without a rehabilitation medicine leader,” he noted, “who can coordinate and improve services to veterans with disabilities. Having lost both legs and an arm and taking two years instead of what he thought should have been a matter of months for rehabilitation, he said he has a personal interest in this phase of the VA program. He cited a “tug of war” between the needs of Viet Nam veterans, whose ages average 30 years, and the 13.2 million WWII

There are nine such states where vans will move in to announce veterans’ benefits and where television spots will be shown to urge veterans to take
