Three New Steps Taken In Behalf War Veterans Three steps of importance to vet erans have been taken by the admin istration following; the recent White House conference between President Roosevelt, National Commander Louis Johnson of the American Le-, ?ion, and Director of the Budget Douglas, which was proceded in the last few weeks with other confer ences the national commander held with the President during which the lational commander urged that all injustices in the new regulations re lating to hospitalization and compen sation of the disabled veterans be immediately and properly corrected. These steps are: man uiuuuo 1— in response to from the President, Brig.-Gen. Frank T. Hines, administrator of veterans’ affairs, announced modifications in 3everal of the new regulations affect ing compensation and mother benefits to veterans. 2— The administration wrote into the pending $3,300,000,000 public works bill specific orders tht prefer ence is to be given qualified veterans .vith defendants in the employment af labor to carry out the gigantic public construction program. 3— Carrying out the President’s nstructions to enroll 25,000 World War Veterans in the reforestation amps, the veterans’ administration mnounced that plans were rapidly jeing completed to allot a definite luota to each of the States-. These three steps are regarded generally in Washington to be a di rect result of the quiet but insistent efforts which National Commander fohnson, with the assistance of Wat on B. Miller, chairman of the Na onal Rehabilitation Committee of ie American Legion, backed by the present strength of the Legion, has been making to provide more just nd equitable treatment for veterans i the hands of the federal govern ment than the new executive orders .rovided. Just before the National Comman er of the Legion left Washington /ith the President, President Roose /elt agreed that important modifica ions would be made in the compen ation regulations and that provi ions would be made for the enroll ment bf veterans in the reforestation •amps, if they desired to accept the imployment. Secretary of Labor Perkins originally had set the age limit for the conservation recruits st low that it procluded any possible acceptance of World War Veterans Veterans will be glad to learn that age limits will be raised in accord ance with President’s instructions Modification of the new regulation /orked out thus far were explainei i y Chairman Miller, who has beei | n constant communication with the I eterans' administration during the irocess, as roiiows. “The regulations a sorigmally is ! Ued by the President required tha ' or the purpose of obtaining monej wards for arrested tuberculosi here must have been a period of si: aonths’ continuous hospitilization "his was for the purpose of prevent ng the acceptance of hastily made liagnosis of active tuberculosis. Even he short experience developed many :ases where there had been hospitili .ation amounting to six months oi nore, but not continuous. “The modified regulation just is ued permits the recognition of six mnths or more illness involving to il incapacity, provided there is a •ecord showing unquestionably the jxistence of active tuberculosis. “Some improvements in the rating >f muscle and joint injuries are pro vided in a recent instruction to the leld, permitting increases in pay ments over the rates laid down in the regulations as they were first issued. “In order to provide at least for study purposes, some increases in rases where there are combined dis abilities, the new instruction pro vides that combined percentages will take substantially the nearest basic rate. This will mean higher rates in many cases than the first regula tions provided. For example, combin ed revaluations amounting to 40 and 15 per cent will be converted to 50 per cent rather than 25 per cent as orginally ordered. Similarly, combina tions amounting to 65 or 70 per cent will be converted to 75, rather than to 50 per cent as before. “The new instructions provide also that a permanent and total rating, definitely connected, will not be re duced except upon new evidence, re ceived since the orginal rating was made, clearly showing that the ear lier rating was erroneous or that total disability no longer exists. At the same time it is ordered that even though there may be some doubt as to the propriety of continuing the permanent total rating it shall be continued pending reexamination, which should be scheduled for later on. The same general practice is pro vided for in cases which formerly j have been rated as temporarily and totally disabled. “Finally, the new instructions pro vide that rating agencies will not change the estimate of degrees of disability set forth in prior ratings unless or until it is clearly shown that the earlier estimates were er roneous. A mere difference of medical judg ment will not be deemed sufficient. "The changes announced thus far, of course, constitute but a start in the modification which must be made if the President’s instructions are to be carried out fully and if complete justice is to be accorded veterans whose right to federal protection is beyond any question. Apparently some progress has been made, and this leads us to hope and expect that the new review will correct the flag rant abuses which were present in the original regulations." Increased Burdens For Local Com munities. People in practicaly every com munity are now beglinning to reaize just how drastic and mthless and unjust these new regulations orginal ly issued following the passage of the bill entitled “A bill to maintain the credit of the U. S.” really are. The compensation of battle casualties are being slashed more than fifty per cent in many cases. Disabled veterans —service connected under the old law because their disabilities were noted and proven during or for the pre sumptive period-will receive no com pensation whatsoever after July 1 Thousands upon thousands of dis abled veterans, many of whom are suffering from disabilities which they cannot at this late date trace direct ly to their service—men who were in the thick of the battles over there and whose outfits received plenty oi deadly gas from the enemy—are tc oe cast back upon their respective communities under existing regula tions. This is not the average Ameri can s uiea oi justice. When the people of this State and other States realize (as they will rea lie in July, unless the new regula tions are properly corrected and modified) that the burden and sup port of these disabled veterans is be ing shifted from the backs of the lar ger income-taxpayers and income-tax dodgers to the already over-taxed local communities, they will then rea lie that the Legion’s fight for their disabled comrades has been a fight for justice itself. Many people are ev en now wondering why the actual battle-scarred veterans’ compensation (which was little enough) should be ■dashed at all, much less more than fifty per cent as in many instances. The Legion definitely seeks only JUSTICE—but it is officially deter mined to have just that. Department Commander Beard has urged that every Legion Post to muster its full itrength during this month of June in >rder that the Legion’s fight for sane uid sensible justice for their disabled omrades, shall meet with success, ,nd in order that the increased bur dens on the citiens and taxpeyers of their local communities shall be ;io more than absolutely necessary. Every eligible veteran really interest ed in seeing that the worthy disabled veteran gets justice, should immedi ately affiliate himself with the American Legion, whose National Commander is doing his utmost to have the present regulations proper ly amended so that justice shall pre vail.
