WASHINGTON, July 27-Comffissioner
of Pensions Lochren stated t1ra Trres-
pondent Of the United Pre5s,toHay that
hereafter he intended to recommend
to Secretary Smith for appointment to
Pension Examining Boards in various
parts of the country only young physi-
clans. This step is taken because he
believes young physicians are better
fitted for the work, take a greater in
terest in the examinations and are more
like to give the pension work their
full attention than old physicians set.
tied in established practices.
The Finance Division of the Pension
Bureau did a good deal of work yester-
day in the claims that needed a new
examination. Payment was suspended
today in 232 cases, and the pensioners
were notified they would receive nc
pensions pending medical .examina
ton.
The object in %suspending payment
is to COMPEL the old soldiers to under
go o medical examination. 1t has been
the experience Of the pension officers
that unless this action is taken the
pensioners will not appear before q
medical board. After the surgeons
certificate has been received the office
acts upon it. If its found that the
disability has ceased the pensioner il
given sixty days in which to produce
new proof, and failing to prove hit
claim his name is dropped from the
roll.
The Finance Division is getting dowu
to work now, and it is said the daily
average Of cases disposed of will grow
veay large,
