PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF
ALL SOLDIERS WAR CLAIMS
BROUGHT ABOUT BY NATION
WIDE CAMPAIGN OF LEGION
Government Inaugurates System
Which Eliminates Red Tape in
Settling Claims

A nationwide campaign by govern
ment officials, the American Legion
and the Red Cross to bring about a
sweeping settlement of all claims by
eX-service men was inaugurated We'd
nesday afternoon at meeting held in
the rooms of the Wilmington Cham
ber of Commerce in the dupont Build
ing. 1t was called by DR.. L. B.Rogers
OF Philadelphia, manager of the Third
District of the Veterans Bureau, this
district comprising Delaware and
Pennsylvania. This movement, it was
explained by him, has been made pos
sible by the signing of the Sweet bill
which provides for immediate adjust
ments and the appointment of Colonel
c. r. Forber as director of the new
veterans bureau in Washington. The
meeting was attended by delegates
from the several local posts of the
American Legion, Miss Draper of the
Red Cross, C. NJ. Dillon, assistant sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce,
Colonel Simon P. Doherty of the Vet
Grams organization, Mayor Leroy
Harvey and others. Delegates from
the labor organizations, who had been
invited to attend, were unable to be
present. DR.. Rogers presided and
explained the purpose of the move
ment, its scope and just what is plan
ned to do. Other speakers were Mayor
Harvey, who assured those present
that he would do anything he could to
further the undertaking; w. V. Wal
ton, advance member of the cleanup
squads, in charge of compensation and
insurance section of the Third Dis
trict; F. B. Stetser, placement man
for the Federal Board of Vocational
Education with offices in Philadelphia,
and Mr.. Dillon.
The clean up campaign was actually
started in Wilmington Monday.
Squads were in Wilmington, located
in room No. 2O64, dupont Building,
and the members had authority to
consider all cases of compensation,
vocational training, disqualification,
medical and surgical treatment. The
purpose is to eliminate all the red
tape which has heretofore wound
itself about the ex-service men with
claims of any kind. The success OF
the entire undertaking is strictly up
to the eX-service men themselves for
while the cleanup squads will make
every effort to get into communica-
tion with them, the service men who
have claims of any kind will have to
present themselves and state them
and everything will be done to have
the claims adjusted without the long
delays which heretofore have existed
and which delays have caused so much
annoyance and in some instances suf-
fering.
