attempt to go to a gold standard i'm

as the recent attempt to calculate

"CLEAN-UP" DRIVE
TO RELIEVE SOLDIERS
HAS Been COMPLETED
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON. April "a. - The
cleanup" drive conducted by the
United States Veterans bureau for the
purpose of locating and extending gov
ernment relief to disabled veterans of
the late war has been completed and
bureau officials state that the results
were very satisfactory. This under
taking was inaugurated shortly after
the decentralization of the bureau,
nearly year ago.
More than 175, 900 disabled ex-serv-
ice men were interviewed during the
campaign and approximately 10000
new claims were handled The num-
Der of claims filed by the cleanup
squads during the drive indicate that
there were thousands of veterans
throughout the country, particularly in
the mountainous and rural districts Of
| sparsely settled communities, who
were unaware of the benefits to which
| they were entitled and uninformed as
! to the procedure of obtaining relief
| from the government. 1t was largely
on the basis of these men for whom
no claims had been filed that the
charge of neglect of disabled veterans
was founded. Thousands of these
cases would never have been brought
| to the attention of the government had
| it not been for the work of the clean
| up squads.

AS the result of the now concluded
drive 47,S45 new compensation claims
were filed and 32,804 apeals from pre-

The medical officers with these squads
made 1851 physical examinations.

There were 27,234 claims for voca-

during the cleanup campaign. In ad-
dition to the filing of compensation

cations there were large number OF
applications for reinstatement and
conversion of war risk insurance.
i Thousands of veterans now have
their disabilities on record with the
veterans bureau who prior to the
cleanup drive had made no appeal
for government aid. In the future
