AID DISABLED VETS
Central Authority Over Soldier
Relief One Step Proposed BY
Harding's Board.

Fundsmental recommendations for
the care of disabled veterans OF the
world war were agreed upon by
President Harding's special commit
tee. headed by Brig. Gen. Charles G..
Dawes, of Chicago, when the investi-
gators met today.
These Recommendation were made: {:
decentralization of authority over
soldier relief.
2-De-centralizaztio Of admins
tration.
3-Appropriation Of additional funds
for a permanent disqualification pro-
gram.
These three points were regarded
as essential by the American Legion
representatives on the committee. and
agreement between them and other
members of the investigating body
was hailed as a long step toward COM
pletion Of their work.
The agreement was reached in an
unofficial conference between Cen
eral Dawes. Col. F. w. Galbraith, ma
tional commander OF the American
Legion, and heads of bureaus are
charged with the care of disabled vet
erans.
Details Of the recommendations pro-
posed by the committee were TO be
worked out today.
The director stated, however. that
to fix statuatory limits on salaries to
be paid employees would be a calam-
ity." He said that he believed alb
solutely" in the principle of decen-
tralizing the machinery for soldier
relief.
Uel Lamkin. chief of the rehabili-
tation division of the vocational edu-
cational board, withdrew from the
position he had previously assumed.
removing the only objection on the
part of existing bureau heads to the
proposed consolidation plan
