Better Surplus Deals
For Veterans Soon

Col. E. G. Kavanaugh, director
OF the Veterans Division, Surplus
Property Administration, conceded
today that veterans complaints
about the disposal of surplus prop
erty have been Justified" but prom
ised terrific improvement" in the
next 30 to so days.
Col. Kavanaugh, one Of the ON
cials making a progress report to
the sixth annual meeting OF the
National Council of American Vet
eran Organizations, declared: Until
the armed forces loosen up and
give us wider range Of materials
we are licked"
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, veterans
administrator, also told the repre-
sentatives of 10 veterans organiza-
tions that unless veterans can get
job, home and chance to
settle down and take up where they
left OF, some of them are going
to cause us trouble" He promised
maxamum service to veterans, but
said the Veterans Administration
could not do the whole job without
the country, and particularly the
veterans organizations, furnishing
helping hand"
Maj. Gen. Paul r. Hawley, sur
geon general of the Veterans Ad-
ministration, said that never before
in history has organized medicine
been SO eager to help the Veterans
Administration. But, he added this
advantage is slipping away because
the Veterans Administration can
not offer salaries to attract the best
doctors.
Gen. Hawley predicted If Congress
passes the bill to bolster the veter-
ans Administration medical service
1t will still take two or three years
before the service will show "signi-
flcant improvement"
Col. Kavanaugh, describing diff
culties encountered in getting vet
Grams priority for surplus prop
erty, pointed out the Federal Gov
ernment and 10000 political subdi-
visions are ahead of property-seek-
ing veterans. He cited the case of
the 9,100 jeeps recently declared
surplus. He said when he inquired
