TIME last contingent Of the wash
inRton delegation to the four
teenth national convention Of
Il the Disabled American Vet
ems reached here last week,
satisfied that the organization has
adopted a series OF the most Substan-
tial proposals governing veterans since
| the war
In spite Of determined drives from
various sections to have the Disabled
American Veterans committed to the
| cash bonus. the committees refused TO
| consider such an item and were un-
| held on the floor of the convention
by hundreds of delegates.
Realizing the long advances made
by Congress in restoring benefits to
the disabled. It was the sense OF the
| convention that the Legislative pro-
gram for the next session should be
extremely conservative. Having re-
PEELED advances for the bonus and
having decided II vas untimely 10 ask
any benefits for men whose disabil-
tiles have arisen since the war. the
, convention reiterated the stand to
limit its activities to the benefits OF
the men whose disabilities are of serv-
ice origin and to defend against at
tack what was achieved through the
overriding Of the presidential veto last
March.
In addition to the attitude on the
general law, nine other points were
| included in the program. which call
for publication by the Government Of
compilation of all laws covering
veterans: establishment in the service
departments of boards to revi ~ all
discharges other than those under
honorable conditions; the establish
ment in the Veterans Administration
Of a permanent medical corps; the
opening of Army and Navy hospitals
for veterans when the Veterans Ad-
ministration facilities shall be over
taxed; tightening up of the laws to
afford greater protection to the funds
of mentally disabled veterans; modifi-
cation of the "causative factor" in
the retirement act; support of ade-
quate national defense cooperation
with other patriotic organizations for
the suppression of suversive activities
in this country and the enactment of
a lawyto draft manpower, capital and
labor for the next emergency.
In addition TO his annual report to
the convention. Gen. Hines, admins
traitor of veterans affairs, and mem
bers of his staff were in conference
with the national rehabilitation Off
GERS of the D. A. V. on policies of the
