(No. 6 of a Series.)
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES,

While the United States always
has made some provisions for its old
soldiers, giving them at least a
measure of support when they were
disabled or infirm with age, it has
been only in recent years that the
country recognized wider obliga-
ton.
1t was only after the last war,
when some 100000 young men had
been taken away from their families
and jobs and schools, most of them
by selective service draft, that Con-
gress began to realize it was not
enough to provide for those who
were disabled and to help the rest
when they were old or sick. Plans
were set in motion to overcome any
handicaps which their war service
may have brought about and to as
sure them at least an equal oppor-
tunity with those who had stayed at
home.
For the first time, acts began to
be written for the rehabilitation of
soldiers and sailors disabled from
wounds, injuries or sickness; for
vocational guidance where it was
needed, education at Government
expense for those whose schooling
was interrupted, disqualification on
a wide scale for all ex-servicemen
who required it. There later was the
bonus known as adjusted service
compensation for all who served in
the war of '17-18.
First Hospitals Opened.
The first hospitals for veterans
were, opened There had been SOL
diers' homes, with medical wards
a few scattered over the country
but no hospitals open to all veterans.
Six soldiers homes were established
after the Civil War. These were
Then there was the Soldiers Home
of Washington, which Gen. Win
field Scott had opened for regular
Army men in 1851 and which is still
going.
When the Veterans Bureau (now
the Veterans Administration was
created in 1880, it took over the
homes for volunteers and the new
veterans hospitals, which were ex-
panding rapidly in number. Many
more hospitals have been built since,
and the agency is embarking on a
new program of institutional eX-
pansion to meet the growing needs
Of wounded and sick men dis
charged from service in this war.
The Veterans administration has
just announced plans for new hos
pitfalls or additions to existing IA
cilities in 70 communities. I
Most of the proposals contained
in pending bills for the further aid
of veterans are expansions of bene-
fits set in motion since the last war
Would Liberalize Pensions.
These bills would liberalize pen
sions and compensation, life insur-
ance, retirement pay. hospital and
domiciliary care, vocational rehabili-
tation and burial allowances.
While Congress has shown a dis
position to do everything possible
for the men and women who are
winning this war and for the vet
Grams of past wars, the cost of some
plans and the uncertainty of what
others will cost-the impossibility of
even estimating-probably will stop
them. Others, lacking special sup
port, such as the backing of vet
erans' organizations, will remain
buried under the mounds of bills
lying on committee shelves. The

very number introduced precludes
the serious consideration of all.
Since the beginning of the Re-
public, the Government had paid
out In pensions and other compen-
sation to veterans at the latest tab
ulation, on February %, 1945, $780,
078 zoe, 1925. The figure came from
the Treasury, which disburses vet
erans' compensation under congress
sional appropriations. The sums
paid out have been greatly increased
since the World War. After pre-
vious wars, pensions usually were
small individually and more limited
in application.
Introduced by Request.
Many of the bills now before Con-
gress were introduced by request of
organizations or constituents and do
not necessarily represent the per-
sonal convictions of the members
who presented them and often were
not investigated by the Senators or
Representatives who tossed them in

the hopper. This is true to a certain
extent of all legislation.
1t also may be pointed out that
the several thousand pending mea-
sures contain many bills which are
duplicates or almost identical. This
is because members often sponsor
the same plan. Sometimes a large
number of them are sufficiently in
terested in the same type of bill to
want their names to go on it.
If a committee favors a piece of
legislation, and its general ideas are
expressed in number of bills, as
often happens, committee bill
usually is reported out containing
what members regard as the best
features of all.
In addition to the general bills
for the benefit of veterans, many
Evening star., 1945-06-01

There is, for example, a bill pro-
viding that the inability of a vet
eran to follow any substantially
gainful' occupation on account of
service-connected disability shall be
deemed permanent total disability.
Another measure-and several like
it have been would pro-
hibit reduction Of permanent dis
ability ratings except in case of
fraud or unmistakable error.
One bill would rate as totally dis
Evening star., 1945-06-01

other pending measures pertain to
the organization and administration
of veterans affairs. Scores of others
are for the relief of individuals
whose claims fell outside the general
categories of benefits.
Redefine Total Disability.
Some of the bills redefine total
disability, dependents and other
essential terms in programs already
in force, thus broadening their
effects. Other bills would make more
veterans eligible for benefits.

will be developed by pharmacists
and pharmaceutical manufacturers

The observance also was marked
by release of letter from Presi-,

pharmacists for contributions to the
health of the armed forces and the

Form 4-Power Group
To Control Germany S
Foreign Holdings
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Nov. 5.-A four power
German external property commits
sion was formed yesterday to take
possession or gain control of Ger
man assets abroad estimated as
worth possibly $1,000, 100000
The four occupying powers gave
the commission title to all foreign
properties held by German nationals
and power to take over such prop
critics. The assets are believed Sc
creted chiefly in Sweden, Switzer-
land, Spain and Argentina.
The Allied Control Councils edict
which constituted the commission
as an intergovernmental agency of
the council had the effect of de-
manding that neutral powers recog-
nize the council as the govern
ment" OF Germany and therefore
legally entitled to marshal German
external assets In Its own name.
Details Of Measure.
The measure vested in the COM
mission, "all rights, title and inter-
ests" in these properties:
81. Any property outside Germany
which is owned or controlled by any
person of German nationality inside
Germany.
80. Any property outside Ger
many which is owned or controlled
by any person of German national
ity outside Germany or by an branch
of any business or corporation or
other legal entity organized under
the laws of Germany, or having its
principal place of business in Ger
many"
In cases of German nationalities
outside Germany, the law applies
"only to slich person who has en-
joyed full rights of German citizen
ship under the Reich law at any
time since September /, 1889, and
who has at any time since Septem-
Der l, 1899, been within any terri
tory then under control of the Reich
government"
Specifically exempted were Aus
trians or citizens of other coun-
tries annexed or claimed to have
been annexed by Germany since
December 81, 1887"
Exemptions Listed.
Also exempted were German as
sets in the United States, the Soviet
Union, France, the United King
dom and British Dominions, and
ANY other United Nations deter
mined by the Control Council"
The law applies to "all movable
and immovable property and all
rights and interests in or claims
to such property
The term person" was defined
as including also groups of individ-
uals as well as ANY government,
including political subdivisions, pub
lie corporations, agencies and in
strumentalities thereof"
The work of gathering and re-
cording evidence on foreign assets
within the four zones of occupation
was made the responsibility of
zonal commanders in chief.
The question of whether any COM
pensation should be made to persons
divested OF property was left to a
future decision of the Control
Council.
One major disposition may be to
pay reparations to the United
States.
