GERS Die Waiting Help.

With a view to solving problems
confronting disabled soldiers of the
world war, Congressman Roy Fitz.
gerald of Ohio was the host at a
luncheon yesterday in the Speakers
dining room to members of Con-
gress who are former service men.
Because of the various kinds of
legislation now pending at the
Capitol touching upon these prob
lens it was deemed advisable by
Congressman Fitzgerald to call to-
gether ali members Of the House
who served during the war, so that
a decision might be reached as to
the proper procedure to pursue.
III. II. Raege, OF the Disabled
American Veterans, a guest at the
luncheon, outlined to the program
lof his organization. asking CO.
operation in not only speeding the
enactment of certain measures, but
also seeking advice in formulating
future plans.
1t was brought out that one Of
the complaints of Congress has
been that veterans organizations
have been deciding what they want
without consulting members OF
Congress. In the past It was dis.
covered that when a desired meas.
ure has been presented 1t was not
acceptable to certain groups at the
Capitol, and so sent to committees
where 1t rested for months. BY
the offer to consult Congress the
Disabled American Veterans feel
they can overcome this handicap.
The bureau bill for the retirement
of permanently disabled emergency
officers was discussed and 1t was
agreed to make an endeavor to get
a report within the next two weeks.
It also was drought out that
while the Bursum bill has been
held up by the committee to which
1t was referred, thirty lieutenants
have died as result of disabilities
In line of duty who would have
been eligible for the benefits of the
act.
