ED MEASURES BEFORE NEXT
MARCH.

tive program which the American

grafton for a period of years and en-
actment of the Bursum bill providing
for retirement of more than 1000
emergency army officers disabled in
the World war, also will be sought.
Legislation for the disabled" was
given "first and supreme importance
in the outline of purpose. This in
cludes efforts to bring about passage
of the Sweet bill and to liberalize
the war risk insurance law in such a
way as to extend the time for OBJ
tanning certificates of disability, ex-
tend the period in which tubercular
and mental disabilities are automat-
ically rated as being of service ori-
gin, provide that tuberculosis ether
than pulmonary be compensatory and
extend the time for conversion of

With reference to the bonus, it
was determined "that the fvefold
adjusted compensation bill be pushed
to enactment; this to contain a
land reclamation feature, prefer
ably the Smith-McNary amendment.
