Hines Cites Problems
In Postwar Changes

Postwar reconversion problems
will be difficult TO solve. but they
must not be allowed to interfere
with the successful prosecution OF
the war, Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines
last night told members OF the
Washington chapter of the Asso-
citation of Cost Accountants at the
Washington Hotel.
Gen. Hines, administrator of vet
erans' affairs and retraining and
Unemployment. warned that recon-
version would be far greater than
after the World War, stating:
I'VE already have been in this
war twice as long and almost three
times as many men are under arms.
Then we were spending Is billion
dollars year, now we are spending
80 billions. Then we were producing
four million tons of shipping a
year, now we are producing 20
million. Then we liquidated seven
billion dollars in contracts, now
there will be predicted 70 billions.
He declared the confusion in un.
employment and near economic dis
aSter after the last war should help
to guide the Nation in planning fol
reconverSion from this war.
Gen. Hines said three-fourths OF
the factories built during this wal
are owned by the Government
which also controls 100 per cent OF
the production of synthetic rubber
100 per cent of the production of
aircraft gasoline, 80 per cent of the
production of magnesium, 80 per
cent of the production of aircraft
and so per cent of the production
of machine tools.

Ball Agrees 10 Give
Indiana Vote Evidence
To Justice Department

Senator Ball. Republican, OF Min
nesota, said today he had no OBJ
lection TO sending to the Justice
Department data on complaints
that several thousand were denied
votes In Indiana this year In mix-
up OF registration records. Senator
Ball said, however, that he does
not think there Is any ground for
prosecution.
Senator Stewart, Democrat. Of
Tennessee, chairman Of two-man
subcommittee. said earlier he will
recommend to the Senate Campaign
Investigating Committee that the
files be sent to the Justice Depart
ment, but no decision Is expected
by the full committee until after
the holidays.
According TO Senator Stewart,
85 900 names we're stricken from
Marion County registration records
this year. He pointed out lhat
names of persons no longer qualified
to vote are removed by law every
two years and there Is no way to tell
how many were Democrats or Re-
publicans without a check 0. cards
on which party afYiliation was indi-
Gated. He asserted, however, that
a sample test OF 2200 cards showed
that 90 per cent were Democrats
and 10 per cent Republicans,
The Senator also said that I'VE
found no evidence OF conspiracy ex-
cept the circumstances / have told
you about" He said the boundal les
of some precincts were changed and
that this led to confusion over reg
istration.
Senator Ball. summing up his re-
action TO the hearings in Indianapo-
lis. said
In Indiana. and particularly in
Marion County. election and regis
tration activities are directed by the
county clerk. who traditionally runs
his Office on strictly partisan basis,
with all OF his employees regarded as
party patronage. AS a result, when
a Republican replaced a Democrat
in January l943. the registration
Office was cleaned out and new en-
ployes hired.
These new and relatively mex
perienced employees. together with
inefficient temporary help, made
many mistakes In 1914 In handling
the largest registration since the
law was passed in 1884. AS q result,
names Of many voters who had reg
istered were not on precinct lists
and many were denied the right to
vote. That some partisan advant-
age was taken of this confusion in
that Republicans involved In the
mixeup found 1t easier TO straighten
out their records that Democrats
does appear from the testimony. but
no evidence OF conspiracy or fraud
in that regard was developed"

Guarantee Of Loans
For Veterans Starting
In Business Arranged

Arrangements TO help veterans
start small businesses and TO deal
with the perplexing medical prob
lens arising from this war were an
nounced today by the Veterans Ad-
ministration.
Under regulations issued today the
Veterans Administration will guar
antee up to $4,000 OF loan for a
veteran TO 90 into business.
| Like civilians, veterans will do
their borrowing through the usual
channels.
The Reconstruction Finance Corp.
or Smaller War Plants Corp. will be
asked to pass on each loan--one of
the measures taken by the Veterans
Administration to protect veterans
from the high casualty rate In new
businesses.
Veterans will be able to get the
loan guarantees to purchase land
and property. supplies. equipment,
machinery and tools but not inven-
tory or stock
Expert Wholesalers to Aid.
While Brig. Gen. Frank r. Hines,
veterans administrator, admitted at
a press conference today that this
provision means man could borrow
the money TO buy gasoline pumps,
but not the money to I'LL the pumps
with gas. he added that wholesalers
probably will agree TO delay billing
to give the veterans a chance to get
some stock.
Loans on real estate have to be
paid of within 20 years, but those
on equipment or machinery cannot
extend beyond the accepted usual
life OF the property and initial pay
ments on equipment have TO be paid
off In one or two years.
How much OF a loan veterans will
be able to get, Gen. Hines said. Will
depend largely on the willingness
OF lenders to take more than a SO
per cent risk The Government
guarantees up to so per cent OF
loan with $4,000 as the maximum
guaranty.
Two or more veterans can go into
business together. each getting a
9<,oou lodH guaranty.
Medical Board Formed.
The other action announced by
Gen. Hines today was the estab-
hshment of special medical sd-
visory group composed of Is au-
thorities in all major specialties of
medicine. DR.. Roy D. Adams. clin-
ical professor of medicine at George
town University School of Medicine
and visiting physician in internal
meNcine at Columbia Hospital. has
been appointed permanent secretary
of the group which will be headed
by DR.. George Morris Piersol of
Philadelphia.
Gen. Hines explained that this
war had brought to light difficult
tropical diseases as well as combat
injuries not encountered in the last
war. The new group, he said. will
be asked to advise on research and
personnel required to meet these
problems. He cited as one imme-
diate problem for the group to an
sWer the question of segregating
neuro-phychiatric cases of this war
from those of the last war.
