In reference to prosperity, so

have had nothing to do for

dred qualified enumerators to
take the places of those that quit.
Why not put them to work? Or
did the very efficient Administra-
ton make another blunder and

the amount needed to take this
census in the District and hence
she employment of the mail car

sswhy did they not economiZe and
,have the whole District canvassed
sby the Postal Service and save
even the appointment Of Mr..
Moran and others that have been
appointed at nice fat salaries, if
the Postal Service can do this
work. But just as a tip, If the
whole of the Postal Service en-
ployes (mail carrier, acting as
census enumerator), as they have
signed themselves to the papers
left with me, are not furnishing
all papers as they should, they
will certainly not ever get very

Editor, The Times:
This evenings edition carried q
story about a World War veteran
attempting suicide in the Vet.
erars' Bureau Building. No doubt
the kind Of treatment that Gen.
eral Hines refers to in his radio
talks caused this buddy to make
the suicide attempt. Hines says
that he wants the veterans to
feel at home when they visit the
Veterans Bureau, and no doubC
his SubordinateS were carrying out
his wishes when they caused this
unfortunate to attempt to destroy
himself. The quicker this ad-
miniStrative vacuum that is run
ming the Veterans Bureau is dis
pensed with the better for all
veterans and the American Gov
ernment as whole, and I think
that all veterans, even the one
who tried to take his life today,
will agree with me that we have
only heartfelt thanks for O gen.
erous Government that has
enacted laws for the benefit of
the veterans, but we cannot give
any thanks for the organization
that swas created to help the
veteran, but that has made him
fight for every point they cventu-
ally grant him.
This case you cite today is only
one Of many, and, while this is
not a very nice situation to face,
we should stop, look and listen
and ponder and say a prayer
asking that in some way atten-
tion of the President of the
United States be called to the
actual conditions existing within
the Veterans Bureau.
