The Wrangell sentinel., 1945-10-12

discharge of servicemen was over whelming the facilities of the Vet erans Administration We pointed out to him that what he told Us completely confirmed our position for the need of a seperate Regional administration in Alaska. General Bradley said he would take up the matter again with the board. I was hoping he would make an obvious decision, as he would have on the battlefield without consulting any board-and we recall how brilliant and effective he was on the battle field. When the battle of the Bulge began, Bradley acted; the Bulge was flattened out and our men swept over the Rhine Our re turning veterans are now facing another Bulge Pm hoping that Bradley will flatten out that bulge too.
 While I shall continue my eff forts to get General Bradley to see that the Seattle office cannot han dle the Alaska veterans affairs satisfactorily, and that we need a regional office with headquarters in Juneau but branch offices in all our larger towns, I think that the Legion might try to enlist the national officers in Washington behind this effort. Next. the Legion might consider what other steps the Territory itself can take to meet the situation of our return ing Alaskan veterans 1 believe we should have special veterans leg islation for the Territory by the Territory. I feel that the Federal Government cannot do the job un- assisted. The Territorial Govern ment. which is closer to the prob lem and the reality of our situa tion, need not similarly be begged down.
 In the last session of the legis lature a bill for the aid of veterans was introduced into the House and passed by a substantial majority This bill was not acted upon in the Senate. Personally, I consider ed it a good bill. I do not know how the Senators would have viewed it because they never al lowed it to come to a vote, never recorded their votes on it. The bill was designed to help bona fide Alaska veterans, by furnish
