Volunteer Officers
 Paid War Price

New Orleans July 24 Many times as many volunteer officers were disabled in the World War as regular army officers. it was brought out in the first public hearing on the Eur sum bill, which would provide retire ment with two-third pay for disabled National Guard and emergency off, cers upon the same basis as now ac- corded regular army officers. There more than 30 per cent. disabled through battle wounds received in the war. according to John Thomas Tay- Tor, vice chairman of the National Legislative Committee of the Ameri- can Legion, who opened the hea ring before the Military Affairs Commit tee of the House.
 Of the S55 officers of the regular army retired for disability since the
 war; only 54 suffered wounds in battle and this latter number included pro- Taylor pointed out. He explained that the bill had been passed by the Senate and ony awaited similar action by the House to become a law. Dis abled temporary officers of the Ma rine Corps and the Navy have received the benefits of retirem ent and to deny this to temporary army officers dis criminated against them. he said | D. John Markey, chairman of the Legion'S Military Affairs Committee l told of the widespread resentment | rank, because of the discrimination ir 1 favor of regular army officers in the l matter of retirement.

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-07-24
SuYo22

Indianapolis, July 24-The Ameri- can public has been sadly misled as to what the government is doing for its sick and wounded eX-soldiers. News papers have been full of the ''stagger- ing sums being spent on the disabled. But the United States Veterans Blu reau has not been nearly as efficient in it's particular job of caring for the office in its particular field.
 These statements are set up in the iTst & of @ series of articles Tsi Il entitled is, of the American Legion Weekly.
 "Just now the government is spend 900 a year, and the Presidents sig nature to the new Langley bill in creases this total to S545, 500, 900, as much it cost to run the whole ago." the Weekly article declares.
 we hear that 30,000 men are in hospitals, that 1os,o00 are taking vo- that all is lovely. This inference is false.
 Thirty thousand men in hospitals means little unless we know they are in fit hospitals and that there are no others not in hospitals who should be there. Vocational training is only 10 per cent. efficient by the admission erans' Bureau.) The present voca- tional training situation is doing large part of those 1O9,OOO students no good, but positive harm"
 The article recouts the fight the Legion has waged, beginning in 1919, for the centralization of the three headed government system of caring for the disabled. This fight, centered on the hospitaliza ton of men in "scandalously unfit places with half of those needing it not hospitalized at al1." a system rotten to the core" with responsibility fixed upon no one, brought about passage of the Sweet bill.
 By forcing the passage of the Sweet bill, the Legion caused the formation of the U. s. Veterans Bureau. of which Charles R. Forbes, Seattle, Wash, become director. MT. Forbes was promised, the Weekly declares, complete cooperation of the ex-sol- dier organization. The Legion under took to withhold public criticism and to suspend judgment until MT. Forbes had been given an opportunity to un- tangle the skein
 'The Legion has kept its bargain ,'' the article continues. With a liaison officer in each of the A regional dis tricts into which the bureau has di- vided the country, the Legion has kept the mechanism of it's entire or ganization at the disposal of the be- reau and the veteran. The Legion has criticized, advised. worked and fought as hard as ever before to put the bureau on it's feet
 Though the government is spend ing more than a half billion dollars annually the disabled veterans are not
