Chicago. Oct. 3. —(AP) —A four
point rehabilitation program for
World War veterans, differing sharp
ly in on' respect from President Roost
velts outlined policy, apparently was
a step nearer adoption today by the
annual convention of the American
L'-gion
Despite the President’s statement to
t;he convention ysterday that veterans
suffring trom ailments incurred since
the war many receieve Federal hos
pitalization only if their local and
State communities are unable to care
for them the IA fTt'on rehabilitation
oemmittee approved a plan for hos
pital treatment of all ex-soldiers of
the Woj’d Wlar regardless of when
they were incapacitated.
The committee’s report made last
night sa'd that "hospitalization under
Federal government auspices be af
forded all veterans not dishonorably
discharged who require hospital treat
ment and who are not able to reason
ably pay for their own treatment.”

Dead, 89 Wounded, Finds
Havana Yet Very Tense
Bullets Whiz Through Streets All Night and No Truce
Has As Yet Been Reached; One Group Rejoices
United States Kept Out, Another Criticized
Havana. Oct. 3. —(AP) —Warfare in
which at least 44 were killed and 89
wounded left Havana on “trigger
edge” today.
A day-long battle between several
hundred officers barricaded in tha
national hotel and the “enlisted men’s”
ja.rmy yesterday did. not lend with the
surrender with the officers.
Through the night bullets whizzed in
the streets, and Havana, which has
seen rec« ni governments rise and fall
with much bloodshed, discovered that
a truce had not yet been called.
What the A B C revolutionary so
ciety would do stood as today major
enigma. That militant organization
failed to take the officers’ side ac
tively in the storming of the hotel yes
terday, preferring to maintain an “ex
pectant” attitude.
The events were believed not to have
lessened the ABC opposition to Pre
sident Ramon Grau San Martin, and
many proiessed to foresee a nearly
continuous guerilla warfare such as
that against former President Ma
chado, who fled before a revolution
