Two telegrams demanding immediate
action by the Veterans Bureau were
addressed yesterday to Colonel C. r.
Forbes, director of the bureau in Wash
ington, as result of the recent inves-
LEGATIONS into conditions at United
States Hospital No. 81, the Bronx. One
was signed by Major William F. Dee
gan, state commander of the American
Legion, the other by Albert B. Ross
dale, representing the Cd District in
the House of representatives. Mr..
Rossdale's message read:
Demand immediate investigation of
shocking conditions at Veterans Blu
reau Hospital No. 81, situated in the
Bronx, my district. Personal investi-
cation made by me of abuses practiced
upon soldier inmates makes it impera-
tive for the department to take prompt
action TO remedy same Suggest inves-
tigators include representative of
American Legion in order that investi-
cation may not be whitewash."
Next Move in Congress
Mr.. Rossdale explained that he was
taking such action in fairness to the
bureau and asserted that if it did not
call upon Congress.
Commander Deegan's wire was as
follows:
"On behalf of the American Legion
of the State of New York, ! demand an
immediate investigation of the United
States Veterans Bureau Hospital No.

Major Deegan declared that he would
follow the telegram with letter eX-
planning the situation in full and de-
manding that the inquiry include every
charge brought by Mr.. Rossdale. He
would suggest also, he said, that the
investigation be conducted by several
persons and not by any one man.
The cases of Timothy Lucci and
Harry Morgan, ward attendants at the
hospital, who were arrested last Satur
day charged with suspicion of felonious
assault upon Nicholas Samson, a pa
tient at the institution, after an in
vestigation by NJ. P. McInerney, Of the
staff of the eterans' Bureau, came
up yesterday in the West Farms court

said he would talk with the Bronx

Mr.. Rossdale declared that another
case of maltreatment had come to his
attention through the visit to his Office
