possible damage to an enemy

Philippines, Leyte landings. Bat
tie for Leyte Gull. Okinawa, For
mosa, Luzon, .Ormoc Bay and
the Minandao attacks. The

followed by another attack on

NogaIes Election Not Significant

Arizona Fax, published at Phoenix, said edtori-

"Both the city of Tucson and the city Of
Nogales elected Democratic mayors in elections
held last week. These contests watched
with considerable interest by political prognosti-
Gators of both major parties The results
regarded as a good omen by the Democrats,
indicative of increasing strength for the major
party in Arizona.
Fax was wrong insofar as the Nogales election
was concerned for the that this city has
partisan form Of election and candidates were not
listed under party designations. If it had been a
partisan election, Jimmy Robins Democrat, the vic

larger majority than 33 votes for the Democrats out
number Republicans about 10 to 1 in registration.
The Tucson election was a partisan affair-a
case of Democrats against Republicans.
The Tucson contest was the only significant

There are SO few psychiatrists in
relation to the need, the report stat
es, that it will be impossible to pro-
vide special psychiatric services for
veterans other han those requiring
disqualification. The subcommittee
recommends a program of Federal
and State aid to communities in de-
veloping a network Of mental by

there should be 1900 such clinics.

A major part Of the Veterans Ad-
ministration hospital program is de-
voted to the care of veterans VIII
do not have service-connected dis
abilities, the report states. In 1919
more than SO percent of the veter-
ans admitted to hospitals were treat
ed for such disabilities. Veterans
in this group are admitted only
when beds are available; they must
declare themselves unable to pay
for disqualification and they do not
receive out-patient treametnt.
The subcommittee considers this
arrangement uneconomical and IN
satisfactory from the point Of view
of the veterans, although it beIiev-
es it must be continued until ade-
quate medical facilities are made a.
valuable in the communities where
the veterans live. The report points
out hiatt if this load is shifted to the
local communities, the Veterans
Administration will probably be
able to provide full care for the ser
-vice-disabled with a bed capacity
Of 100000, its goal for 1947. Vet

call for expansion to 900. 900 beds by
