Gloom on Broadway!

It's all gloom on the theatrical
horizon for the coming season,
I've been given to understand
by one leading producer in
town, who tells me that he, per
sonally, will not be represented
by any play but he'd prefer not
to make any premature predic-
ton to that effect. He doesn't
make his dour forecast on the
premise that there will be little
money around-he insists times
are really becoming better-hiS
sour outlook is based on the lack
of available talent. The movies
are gathering them in, one by
one, he points out. 1t wouldn't
be so bad if the industry had its
studios here-the actors could
double-but they have to go to
the Coast and you can't produce
play with a star who's in Hal,
lywood. The only solution, he
claims, is to use unknoWns-
people with possibilities now act,
ing in stock companies around
the country. There are future
stars in some of those summer
companies-great stars" he pre-
diets, and then adds sourly,
land when they become stars
the films will get them and you
have to start all over again"
If you're not going to pro-
duce," I asked, "just what are
your plans for the coming sea-
SOM"
Have a cigar" he said, "and
I'll tell you something. l expect
to sign within a day or two

MANY DISABLED VETERANS LOSE
COMPENSATION UNDER NEW ACT

81. a#s..
Those being reviewed by the spe-
cial boards are warned again to get
every possible bit of evidence of
proof of their service connection,
referring same to their chapter and
national rehabilitation officers for
advice before submitted to the vet
Grams administration. Also, that
personal affidavits, as to the facts
in the development of his disability
should be made. Affidavits from
wife, father, mother and other rel
atives, if containing detailed state
ments of facts are of some value
If substantiated in part by detailed
affidavits by disinterested persons.
1t is the opinion of the officers
handling claims for the disabled
that evaluation of evidence by rat
ing agencies of the administration
is entirely too technical and legal
istic, and it therefore behooves ev-
cry claimant to do his utmost to
meet the requirements. There are
hardly four weeks left for the re-
view of these cases SO immediate
action must be taken to complete
proof, warns the local chapter.

Veterans


Veterans
The review of the cases wherein
the disabled veterans have been re-
ceiving compensation on the basis
of legal presumtion Of service orr
gin got under way Monday of last
week in the Southern California
area. OF the first 10 cases review
ed only IL of the disabled veterans
will continue to receive compensa-
ton, SO having been cut off entire
ly. They will of course have one
final chance to appeal, but. as
there was no provision made by the
budget director to provide for all
the recognized service connected
cases. there can be little hope for
these men in the final appeal.
When the economy bill was up
for consideration. it was explained
that the law would be administer
ed with sympathy and justice. and
when liberalizing amendments to
the bill were offered it looked for
a time as though injusticeS to-
wards the disabled veterans and
their dependents might be miti-
gated The result of the first re-
view and this special review of the
10000 presumptives, mostly ad-
vanced TB and mental cases, are
heartleSs and cruel. Such q result
was expected from the original bill,
as the act intended to drop the
325 900 cases not considered service
connected, thereby saving $112,000.-
900, but the amount decided to be
taken from the disabled was set at
$3.50 100000. This meant that over
$500, 0,000,0 900 would have to be taken
from the service-connected disabled
veterans. So, in spite of the prom
Use that those suffering from injur-
les and diseases of service origin
would not be cut, they are getting
the "axe.'
deciding on one thing only, and
that is, shall certain disabled vet
Grams continue to be considered
service They have no
power to rate a case. That is done
by the rating boards. Letters 60
ing out from the regional offices
still contain notice that an ap-
peal may be allowed on all ques-
tions except on degree of disabil-
ity. This. however. is changed now
and any question concerning a
claim for benefits under the juris-
diction of the Veterans Admins
tration, can be appealed. This in
cludes the right for appeal from
decision of the regional office on
the question of degree of disability
The officers of the DAV ask that
no claimants be sent to the state
rehabilitation office of the organ
ization at this time, unless they
come under the head of presump-
tive cases. This is because the spe-
cial review has been ordered to
have all cases reviewed before Oc-
tober 81. So out of consideration
for these comrades all other claim
ants will lay off asking for an ap-
peal, or anything, until these
boards of executioners, as they are
being referred to, are through. The
disabled are also instructed that no
veteran make final appeal until
more is known about the procedure,

OLD PRICE OF
HAIRCUTS is
RESUMED HERE

Announcement that local BARRIERS
will return to the old scale of 50
cents for haircuts was made today
by A. w. Newkirk, secretary of the
local master BARRIERS.
The new rate (or the old rate)
becomes effective today and bar
berS are anticipating return of
patronage which has been shying
away from the shops for the past
10 days while the high rate was in
effect
Newkirk stated the change back
to the old rate follows meeting in
Los Angeles last Friday at which
the price question was discussed
thoroughly. Southern California
BARRIERS had protested the IS cent
rate but were defeated by the for
ces from the north of the state. AL
though no agreement was reached
at Fridays meeting there was ten
tative understanding that BARRIERS
south of Tehachapi could charge SO
cents while those north of that line
could make it 65 cents.
Local BARRIERS pointed out that
the IS cent rate was distinct dis
advantage for them. 1t was higher
than any price ever charged here
except during boom war days, also,
Calexico BARRIERS, facing the threat
of having their patronage go across
the line to Mexicali, could not join
with other valley BARRIERS on the
high rate and declined to do so.
"We feel the SO cent rate is fair
to the barber and fair to the Gus.
TONER" Newkirk stated today. "We
never did want it changed and we
are glad to see it back again"
