Veterans Chief
Speaks Before
Sorobtinnist club
F, BY Gretchen Smith

y ~ - psSt"
One OF the worst headaches suf-
fered by the Veterans Administra-
ton is caused by misunderstanding
of the loan guaranty clause of the
GI Bill Of Rights, according to
Samuel Rose, chief of the central
Office contact division OF the Vet
erans' Administration.
Explaining, What the Veterans
Administration Is Doing for the Re-
turning Veteran" before the Sorop-
timist Club yesterday, Mr.. Rose said
that many veterans seem to think
all that is necessary is to make ap-
plication and that a $4,000 loan will
be granted.
"The Veterans Administration
merely acts as guarantor for $4,000
on loan which must be secured
through bank" he explained. IF
he has an honest goodness prop
oSition and can secure a loan from
a bank, we will guarantee $4,000 of
the loan and pay the interest for the
first year. Veterans must stop
thinking they can borrow $4,000
merely to 60 adventuring."
The speaker explained in detail
the application of other laws pro-
viding disqualification. vocational
rehabilitation, education, readjust-
ment allowances for unemployed
veterans. life insurance, death bene-
fits and domiciliary care.
There are now 81 institutions for
disqualification of veterans with
more than $4,000 beds, and $500 .000,-
600 more has recently been appro-
priated for more hospital construc-
ton, the official stated. Incidentally,
1t takes some $1,000 to establish one
veterans hospital bed, he added.
Citing statistics of less than
month ago, Mr.. Rose said that over
5000 veterans are receiving hospi-
tai treatment and 1852 are receiv-
ing domiciliary care.
During the week ending Novem-
ber II, 1945, 227,212 unemployed vet
Grams were paid s5,232,309 Pay
ments for unemployment during the
first IA months operation of the
program total 1857, ,129.
The speaker commented that
people have habit of speaking
about veterans benefits I do not
like that word benefit, W." he added.
Il prefer the word opportunity In
no sense of the word can an oppor-
tunity OF any nature to a war vet
eran be considered as charity. All
these opportunities afforded by
grateful Nation have been richly
eraned with blood and sweat
