Acceptance Of Pay Boost

| NEW YORK. April 21-Accept-
! ance of wage settlement granting
a S. weekly wage increase with vari-
Gus seniority adjustments to the
rank and file of the Federation of
Long Line Telephone Workers, rep
resenting 5000 long distance opera
tors, was recommended today by the
unions executive committee.
the membership will vote on the
agreement Tuesday.
The settlement, reached yesterday
in Washington, ended the strike
threat which began when the un-
ions demand for a S. weekly in
crease was denied by the War Labor
Board.
A union spokesman said the oper-
ators accepted the smaller amount
when they were offered a new pro-
erosion schedule that will enable
them to reach the maximum pay
bracket in fewer years of service.
The wage increase, Henry Mayer
counsel for the federation, said
would total approximately s2,700.-
900 annually. He said the other ad-
justments would net the workers
nearly $20G0.000
The operators present wage scale
goes from s24 to S37 week, depend
ing on length of service.

House Members Find
Conditions Good in
Veterans Hospitals
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Investigating House members said
yesterday that nothing had been
discovered to subStantiate charges
that shocking mistreatment" is be-
ing given patients in Veterans Ad-
ministration hospitals.
Coincidental with that develop
ment, the Veterans of Foreign Wars
criticized the policies of the Vet
Grams Administration in handling
insurance claims.
Generally good conditions pre-
vail" in the veterans hospitals,
members of the House Veterans
Committee reported on the basis of
personel survey of various in
situations throughout the country.
No Evidence of Scandal.
No evidence has been found, they
asserted, to support the contentious
of Representative Philbin, Demo-
crat, of Massachusetts, and others
that "a scandal exists" in the treat
ment of wounded veterans.
Chairman Rankin of the Veter-
ans Committee had authorized each
member of the committee to func-
ton as a one-man subcommittee
in checking the allegations of mis-
treatment.
Mr.. Rankin refused to make pub
lie the full reports of the various
committeeman at this time. In
stead they will be asked to make
them as witnesses at hearings he
expects to start within a few days.
However, Mr.. Rankin gave a re-
porter this summary of the findings:
Nearly all the reports are in and
they show that our veterans are
receiving fine treatment and han
ding in their hospitals.
Some Improvements Needed.
There have been some cases
found where improvements ere
needed, and We shall take action to
see that these situations are RENE
died as soon as possible.
There has been nothing diScov-
cred. however, to bear out the
charges made that shocking mis-
treatment is being given veterans
In questioning the Veterans Adj
ministration handling of insurance
claims. Casey Jones, national serv-I
ice officer of the VFW, said the vet
Grams agency was afflicted with red
tape" processes, undue delay" and
duplication OF effort in handling
benefciaries' claims for dependency
pension and national service life
insurance of men who die or are
killed in the armed forces.
The administration, Mr. Jones
said, even had once requested "a
mother 81 years of age to secure a
statement from the midwife in at
tendance at her birth" in order to
establish proof of her age on an in
surance claim.
The VFW said recent survey it
made showed that 1T takes an av-
erage of $50 days after man is
killed before an award of pension
or insurance payments is approved"

he said, and we stand absolutely
with our great American ally paying
off at the other end of the world
debts as heavy as ever were inflicted
on us"
| Speaking only a few days before
the opening of the San Francisco
! World Security Conference. the
Prime Minister affirmed that "a
world security organization which We
must build and shall build will be
! free and open TO all the nations OF
the world" indicating the eventual
inclusion of neutral and even enemy

side of the parade ground to the
Admiralty Building to see that build
ing crumhling under fire of the
enemy" he said
He said the dwelling of the first
lord of the admiralty also had been

to tell of the brave days of old"
Mr.. Churchill did not give the
date of the bombing.

of butter to $3.50 for a pound of tea
on the black markets.
"Yet we had to buy from them" +"
she said, "as the rations we; were
allotted were not sufficient"
She and her children walked as
far as 10 miles to obtain food from
farmers, who usually managed to

one-fourth of their produce. Before
the rationing system broke down
completely in September, this buy
ing had to be done secretly. After
