and TO substitute small examining
boards for the regional ofices now
operated by the Veterans Bureau

sented to Congress In December by

this plan would lead to saving of APP
proximately $20.000,000 year TO the

necessity for regional Offices today that
existed Immediately after the war.
Mr. Updike lis a World War veteran
and was wounded five times In service
with the 9Th Regiment OF Marines.
The Veterans Bureau has 81 regional
Offices throughout the country, in which
