BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Omar Ketchum, legislative repre-
sentative of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. said today there appears to
have been some improvement in the
treatment" OF servicemen returned
from fighting abroad.
They are getting a better break
now" he said, following the VFW's
forwarding of complaints to the War
and Navy Departments earlier this
year saying that combat veterans
back in this country were being dis
eliminated against in work assign
ments, furloughs and physical ex-
aminations.
Releases Series Of Letters.
Mr.. Ketchum released a series of
letters yesterday which indicated
that Secretary OF the Navy Forrestal
has ordered an investigation into
one report that some 200 men at
Camp Parks, Calf, with overseas
service, had been forbidden extended
furloughs. given more menial tasks
than men vino had not been in COM
bat and ARE being Immediately
shipped out - without the benefit
OF physical examinations"
Both the War and Navy Depart
mentL in letters to Mr.. Ketchum,
spoke of their efforts to give proper
consideration to returned service
men and a letter from Secretary of
War Stimson mentioned "a very
comprehensive plan for improving
the conditions" Mr.. Ketchum said
details of the plan have not been
supplied. There was no comment
from the departments.
Mr.. Ketchum, who served two
years in the World War, said he had
never thought the higher officers
would "condone the sort of thing we
have been hearing about"
Calls Junior Officers Rough"
What has been happening" he
said, lis that some Junior officers
have been too rough on these men.
One marine, with "a months combat
service, invalided back hors, tells
how his outfit, as soon as it hit camp
here, before they had done any
thing, were lined up by a first
lieutenant and told off, told that
We're going to knock the cockiness
out of you They we're given dirty
details. Treatment like that makes
men surly, makes them think their
country doesn't appreciate them
Mr.. Ketchum said that at first.
we thought we were just hearing
from few boys with a grippe. But
they weren't isolated cases. We have
affldavits and statements, any num-
Der of them. We haven't used any

So This Is New York
BY North Callahan

Charles Hand who was once secretary
to New York's Mayor Jimmie Walker
and one-time political correspondent for
the old New York World, has vivid
memories Of the late publisher Of the
New York Sun, Frank A. Munsey. II
seems that Hand had heard that Nun
sey was looking for a writer for the
Suns London office, so he went to see
about getting the job. Before this, how
ever, Hand had heard about Munsey's
preference for smartly-dressed report
ers, so the former dressed himself "fit
to kill" before making the call. The
visit was successful and Munsey even
had Hand turn around so his well-tailor-
ed back could be examined. Terms were
discussed, everything seemed agreeable
and it was arranged that Hand would
leave for London in short order. Then
IL happened. Hand brought up the sub
ject of a contract. This Infatuated Mum
sey who shouted, "Young man, / have
never signed a contract. II has never
been necessary. My word is my bond
Hand ventured Their to observe, But
Mr.. Munsey, London is thousands OF
miles away. What il God in his wisdom
should see fit to remove your This
proved to be another touchy spot OF the
publisher who beloved, "Young man
remove yourself from this room at
oncel" Hand complied and never got
the job.
