Claims in one month tFeb. 1943) to 29,l19 in the same month two years later 1Feb. 1945), That means therell be delays in settling death cases covered by insurance. There have been many already. Why, it takes an average of 37 days before the V. A. is even officially notified of a death!
 For several lllo.lells, officials have been worrying about the growing in surance death claim problem and the Veterans Administration hospitali- zation program Other services within the V. A. aren't too bad, all though still too slow. Of course, there's the never-ending system the seeming red tape of government outfits. I feel the same way ali you veterans feel An ex-Service man I know put it this way:
 Wren I was in the army, I waited. I lined up for shots, lined up for chow, lined up and waited TOT inspection, waited for clothes, pay, barracks inspection, physical exams.-even for the latrine. When l wasn't waiting for something's, I was filling out forms and question naires for this and that. So I told myself that when I got out of the serivice, no more waiting. And no mere forms-'cept, of course, wo- mems. But out of the service, it's just the same. I've seen guys wait ing for job referrals at the USES, waiting to get their insurance re- cords strengthened out, waiting to put in a claim for unemployment pay, waiting to find out if they get to 30 to school some place. Wait ing!
 And all the time they're filling cut forms and applications Nuts

VETERANS' GUIDE
 By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

What can you do with a situation where a government bureau tpossi- ply the largest of alb has to lean over and put it's shoulder against the dam to keep from being drown- ed?
 Before this Global War, the Veter- CTS Administration had settled down to job that was growing cas- fer to do as each year passed. It had practically taken its finger out of the hole in the dike, when the Global War hit, and water started spilling over the dam. Now, for the Veterans Administration, it's flood and the whole dam is being held together without adequate help There's no use kidding ourselves Vets, that the Veterans Bureau is perfect. Even officials of the V. A know it isn't. The benefits due to the disabled veterans are supposed to be given to him. But often he has to go after them himself-and vigorously
 Keep in mind that the disabled service man isn't released from Army or Navy hospitals until he has been given maximum medical care pricr to discharge. Yet the number of disabled veterans of this ,Uar who are out of service and receiving service connected disability pay ments (call it pension" if you will) already considerably exceeds the number from the World War. I dent like to quote lot of figures but, just to give you glimpse of what the Veterans Administration is up against, take slant at the following information, made public by General Hines. Administrator of Veterans Affairs. Figures shown IT. can Global War cases only

Has Love T ale

THE POWER Of a popular
song may carry you so far. but
we're doubtful about your accept
ance Of "I'll Be Seeing You" on
Just the strength of its sentiment
tai value. will take you all the
way through the screen version
which opened at the Michigan
yesterday.
OF course, it's a highly romantic
title and one timely enough 10
suit the most up-to-date taste,
but the picture itself is far from
being a dreamy romance for just
Ginger Rogers and Joseph Gotten.
In fact. there's too much real
is-1--or rather, pseudo-realism in
it-for our taste.
For the first time the films
have taken over A subject which
has not been discusstd in cellu-
loid before. The problem deals
with a girl who has a Christmas
leave from prison who meets a
soldier boy on furlough from an
army hospital.
Well, when one neurotic meets
another coming through the maze
of readjustment, you can expect
anything to happen and we believe
that David Selznick has just pre-
sumed that too much is going TO
take place.
A STRANGE PROBLEM
It's a provoking problem and
certainly different one than one
would expect TO encounter in the
ordinary run of movie things,
but it is emOtionally overdone.
Miss Rogers, while she is not
the leading emotional actress of
the cinema, handles her part with
great finesSe and Mr.. Gotten
turns in simply wonderful per-
formance, but both of them fail
TO become convincing characters.
Miss Rogers slides smoothly
out Of penitentiary walls to as
sumo her usual stenographer ap-
pearance, sans prison pallor, to
charm Mr. Gotten, who finds a
new faith in life, without even
inquiring into her background.
They fall in love, as is the nat
ural course of film events. so
easily, that when her young
cousin, Shirley Temple, reveals
all, it comes as a shock TO the
already shocked war victim.
The charm of the picture lies
in the very sane treatment of
the romantic ideals, and not with
the neurotic inhibtions which
pursue the two principals
AWKWARD SITUATION
You have a feeling apart from
Miss Rogers Interpretation of the
role that she should declare her
self and her peculiar position
from almost the beginning, since
he has already stated his strange
case.
When the final disillusion oc-
ours. the audience can hardly
SympathiZe because all of the
original premises have been so
false.
There's no doubt that a gneat
many romantically minded fans
will find this great drama, but to
us it is just not the kind of film
to be shown at this time.
Gotten is a fine actor, but the
scenes like that with the vicious
dog and the narrowing sequence
in the bedroom, in which he suf-
ferS a relapse, are too eXcruclat-
ingly painful for the average
audience, let alone one who has
had any actual contact with cases
of war nerves.
Shirley Temple is best in her
youthful jive scene, although the
dramatic ones are a trifle banal,
as are those of Spring Byington
as the mother. The father is ex-
cellent and most Of the support
ing performances adequate, al
though the direction is slow and
the emotional values overstressed.
