Protection Was Sought.
Bureau officials were instructed by
the director to exercise the greatest
diligence in safeguarding the interests
of mentally incompetent patients In
every possible way.
Subsequently, a committee was ap-
pointed to study and report on the
guardianship activities of the bureau.
The general counsel reported to this
committee that his office was check
ing up on every report which In
dicated Irregularities or negligence on
the part of legally appointed guar
dianS and steps were being taken
when necessary for the removal OF
guardians. At that time 1900 guard
ians had been appointed and the
committee which had been appointed
recommended that guardianship ac-
tivities be centralized in one division
in order that closer supervision could
be given in these cases.
The guardians subdivision was
established, on May s, 1924. Since that
centralized record of all claimants who
are minors or mentally incompetent
and an investigation is made in each
case Of a mentally incompetent at
least once annually or more often il
necessary, to determine whether his
condition has improved, whether the
a mount paid to the guardian has been
properly handled and whether eXpend
itures have been properly made. An
accurate record Is kept of the name
and address of each guardian or per
son vested with the responsibility or
care of q veteran or his estate, of the
name and location of the court ap-
pointing such guardian, of the amount
of the guardians bond, and any other
pertinent to close and
thorough supervision of the case.
Annual reports required of guard
ians give the bureau an opportunity
to keep a close check on expenditures
and in addition to the information so
received the bureau makes prompt
in any case in which
or reports received by
the bureau indicate irregularity of
or misapplicatIon of funds.
There has been appointed in each
