To me, a soldier, the assignment

House Bill Removes
Safeguards on Loans
To Gls, Bradley Says
Meaning Of LiobiIity
Section Is UncIeor, He
Tells Senote Hearing
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Snarp obJectlon to HouSe-ap-
proved changes in the loan pro-
visions of the CT Bill of Rights
was expressed today by Gen.
Omar N. Bradley, veterans ad-
ministrator, in testimony before
a Senate Finance Subcommittee
considering the legislation.
Referring to the section of the
House bill removing the present re-
quirement that the Veterans Ad-
ministration approve all Govern
ment-guaranteed veterans loans,
Gen. Bradley said:
1--WE are opposed to removing all
safeguards, both for the veteran and
the Government, and leaving the
matter wholly to the discretion of
the creditor and the purchaser.
Gen. Bradley added that under
such wide open grant the Veterans
Administration or some other gov
ernmental agency would simply be
responsible for paying loans" and
he pointed out there would be OBJ
solutely no selection as to credit
risks
Says Language Is Unclear.
The House bill, he said, "appar-
emily attempts to offset such infa-
tionary provisions by Transforming
the guaranty into an indemnity.
While the language is not clear that
what is called a guaranty is intended
as an indemnity. the language of
section sos of the bill appears to
spell out the fact that the loss would
be shared by the creditor and the
Government in the ratio of the
amount of the guaranty to the
amount of the loan. That is to say,
if the loan were for $4,000, so per
cent would be guaranteed"
Declaring the meaning of the
new liability section written by the
House is not entirely clear and might
have to be carried to the Supreme
Court for an Interpretation, Gen.
Bradley added:
"If an indemnity only is intended,
I do not believe lending institutions
would find the loans attractive. If,
on the other hand, the Government
is to guarantee loans with. no con-
troll or selection of risks, then I
would recommend that such losses
be paid by the Treasury without re-

Aircraft carriers will dominate
Americas postwar fleets, a Navy
spokesman said today, indicat-
ing that both an Atlantic and

a combined strength of rs capi-

The five battleships will be of the

battleshipS of lesser tonnage will be
kept in reserve and six will be
scrapped. Those to be scrapped were
listed as the Arkansas, New York,
Texas, Nevada, Pennsylvania and
Mississippi.
The Navy proposes to keep all its
major carriers except three. The
Saratoga and Ranger will be
scrapped and the Enterprise will be
placed in inactive status as the
symbol of the role played by carriers
in World War II.
Seventeen Others in Reserve.
Seventeen other major carriers OF
various classes will be on the reserve
lists. In addition the Navy expects
to keep 79 of its escort carriers. and
maintain 10 in active commission.
Practically all of the large and
fast carriers which will accommo-
date modern carrier-type planes will
be retained either in active COM
mission or in reserve. The three
large carriers to be placed out OF
