Aid to Veterans
In Railway Fares ,
To Be Curtailed
State Adjutant Asks Curb
OH Tourists Who Travel
at Post Expense Without
Good Reason for So Doing

State Adjutant Edward J. Kiely jr.
has issued the following statement re-
garding the number of applications re-
ceived for transportation:
"The liberal disposition of posts to
render assistance to former eX-service
men is indeed commendable. but in
many instances such aid, extended
without proper and careful investiga-
tion as to merit, is causing our posts
to become the Mecca for transient and
professional tourists" Especially is
this true in the demand for railroad
transportation, ofttimes under many
and false representations.
For the general protection against
any such infringers, and to render
service to worthy cases, 1t is deemed
necessary to establish a general policy
for the guidance of post officials. In
this connection we suggest as a gen
eral principal governing transportation
the following:
"Before any transportation shall be
granted, the official having the matter
in hand must be satisfied by full and
reliable evidence; first, that the ap-
plicant is unable to pay the regular
dtion will be materially improved by
sending him to the place in question;
third. that the applicant Will have such
resources for his maintenance at the
point of destination as will have him
from becoming dependent, and fourth,
that the applicant either has legal
residence in the place to which he de-
sires to be sent, or may be justly con-
sidered charge upon that community.
"The adjutant should arrange for
temporary care for the person or per
sons in question while at the same time
inquiring for report, preferably by
wire, from the nearest post or other
reliable source of information, at or
nearest to the proposed destination
TRANSFORMATION will be neither fur
nished or refused until such report
is received. In case it is provided It
must be Observation-Disclosures to carry
the applicant through to the journey 6
end rather than to half way point
where he would have to 60 through the
again The prsesc1 hS of psss
social agencies and must not be used
by posts"
