VETERANS MEDICAL
I. CORPS IS FAVORED
Coolidge Backs Plan to Give
Doctors Higher Rating
and Better Pay.

President Coolidge is i'll favor OF
establishing in the Veterans Bureau
4 Medical Corps with rank. pay and
allowances along the same lines as
such corps in the Public Health
Service and Army and Navy, Direc-
tor Hines of the Veterans Bureau
told the fourth regular meeting of
the bureaus medical council, in ses-
sion here yesterday.
Gen. Hines explained that the
bureau would make attempts in the
next Congress to get legislation es-
tablishing such a corps.
Other speakers at the council meet
ing included DR.. T.. o. Crossman,
medical director of the bureau, and
Or. Ray Lyman Wilbur of Leland
Stanford University. chairman Of
the medical council.
Discusses Hospital Policy.
Gen. Hines asked whether the
council would favor a continuation
of the present bureau policy of con-
constructing separate hospitals for
specific diseases, such as neuro-
psychiatric cases. The bureau still
has several million dollars to spend
Ii constructing more hospitals.
Gen. Hines explained that new
disability rating schedule had been
oullt up In accordance with a recent
act of Congress which places the dis
ability OF the veteran on broader
basis, changing consideration of his
case from the standpoint of purely
physical handicap and including the
vocational handicap.
Or. Crossman reported the publica-
eion since July of THE Medical Bull
setin." a scientific publication of the
Veterans Bureau, which he said was
proving of much value. Medical super
tisors, he said. are standardizing both
administration and treatment through
out Veterans Bureau hospitals.
Boards Of survey are making a spe-
cial study of the domiciliary use OF
hospitals with a view to stimulating
all patients possible to return to self
supporting civilian life.
The American College of Physicians
and Surge ons, which is making a sur
vey OF all Veterans Bureau hospitals,
Or. Crossman said, had almost COM
pleted this, and had approved prac-
ticalIy all Of the institutions.
DR.. Wilbur criticized an attitude on
the part of the medical profession,
which he said had been somewhat
general. to consider the neuro-psychi
atric patients from merely a custodial
point of view. Efforts should be made
in all cases for a cure, he said.

The building rocked like a ship
