New Rating Schedule
On War Disabilities
Increases Pensions

More veterans will get larger dis
ability pensions under the new
rating schedule for war disabilities
announced by the Veterans Admin
istration today.
A Veterans Administration spokes-
man said the new yardstick for de-
termining how much a war injury
has disabled veteran is much more
liberal than the former one.
Principal changes result from the
global aspects of this war, which
has made it necessary to include
many new disabilities" incurred in
service in the tropics and under
specialized combat conditions" the
Veterans Administration explained
Allowed Benefit of Doubt.
The veteran will be allowed the
benefit of the doubt in every case
where there is some question which
of two ratings he should be given
and whether the disability is service
connected or not, the Veterans
Administration announced.
Particular attention, it was ex-
planned, has been given to tropical
diseases, gunshot wounds and burns.
The schedule recommends that, be-
cause tropical diseases are so in
volved, the medical findings of the
armed forces and occurrences of the
disease should be the criteria for
judging the disability rather than
later laboratory findings.
The new schedule lists 176 separate
disabilities of bones, joints and
muscles as compared with 126 in
the rating schedule which has been
in effect since 1888.
Special Recognition Given.
Disability ratings for loss of a
hand or foot were made equivalent
to amputations, and special atten-
tion was given scars resulting from
explosions, oil burns and similar
casualties.
Special recognition also was given
to skull fractures and gunshot
wounds of the brain, chest and
abdomen. Emphasis has been
placed on these because of the
greater number of wounded in this
war who survive with these in
juries," said the agency.
A veteran who is deaf in both ears
and whose hearing may not be
by hearing-aid now is
rated at 100 per cent disability. In
creases in disability rating were
for disfiguring scars and
of the skin.

Coffee Says Crews
Letter AILays Concern
Over Soviet Ties
BY the Associated Press.

Representative Coffee. Democrat,
of Washington said today State
Department declaration of unalter-
ed friendship for the Soviet Union
"allays the concern many of us felt
over our relations with Russia"
Mr.. Coffee told reporter he also
was gdatified at the departments
statement that Americas policy to-
ward Polish and general Eastern
European questions continues to be
as it was under President Roosevelt,
based on the decisions of the
Crimea Conference, as well as on
his program for the attainment by
all people of the four freedoms"
Acting Secretary of State Grew
sent Mr.. Coffee a letter replying to
specific foreign policy questions put
by an unofficial committee of House
members. Mr.. Grew wrote:
Since President RooSevelt's death
there has been no shift in the
American policy of friendlinesS to-
ward the Soviet Union"
mo Tacit Understanding"
Moreover, he added, "it can be
stated unequivocaly that the United
States Government has no tacit un-
derstanding or day-to-day working
arrangement through which it has
become de facto' or otherwise a part
of an Anglo-American or any other
front against the Soviet Union.
Conversely, there is no truth in
the assertions made by some that
we are playing into the hands of
the Soviet Union to the detriment of
the British Empire or any other
nation. The United States Gov
ernment freely consults with all
governments of the United Nations,
including those of Great Britain and
the Soviet Union" A
Replying to other questions, Mr..
Grew said:
President Roosevelt pursued a
firm foreign policy whereby the
United States participated as an
active force in all foreign questions
involving American interests or
policy.
Active Participation Policy.
This policy of active participa-
ton in the solution of all interna-
tional questions concerning the
United States is being continued by
President Truman and the Depart
ment of State Is diligent in its ef-
forts to execute this policy.
"As long as there is freedom of
the press in the United States there
will be editorial criticism because
there is practically never unanimity
Of opinion on any important subject.
Il would convey to you most ear
nestly, however, my own conviction
that editorial comment characteriz-
ing President. Roosevelt as playing
primarily a mediator role in Euro
pean areas is doing an injustice to
our late President, since he pursued
in those areas a policy looking to-
wards the concrete attainment of
the objectives for which we fought,
rather than policy of the disin-
terested mediator"

Maintaining Peace
Difficult Job, Envoy
Tells Youth Delegates

1t will be harder to maintain the
peace than it was to win the war in
Europe, Vladimir S. Hurban, Am
bassador from Czechosloyakia, said
yesterday to 80 delegates from ma
tional youth organizations attending
a conference at the Young Women's
Christian Association here to pre-
pare for a World Youth Congress
meeting next month in London.
IT hope the San Francisco Char
4 ter will gradually acquire the same
character of Sacredness as the
United States Constitution, but
whether it does or not will depend
to a large degree on the young peo-
ple," the Ambassador said.
Chinese Envoy Wires.
DR.. Wei Tao-ming, Chinese Am
bassador, wired the group from San
Francisco, where he has been at
tending. the United Nations Con-
ference, that to warn-torn and weary
humanity youth can bring new
strength and hope, they can supply
energy and driving power for the
wheels of civilization to turn again.
But no greater responsibility has
ever before fallen on their Shoul-
ders. Machinery for peace was
fashioned in San Francisco, but the
smooth running of that machinery
will depend largely on the faith and
steadfast resolution of the youths
of today"
Marking one of the few times
that national youth leaders have
met with Government SpokeSmen
to discuss national and interna-
tional problems, the 80 delegates at
this two-day conference represent
organizations with a total mem
berShip of about two million.
At the opening session of the
meeting yesterday, DR.. Bryn Hovde,
chief of the intercultural Coop
Grafton OF the State Department,
told the young people that youths,
he thought, should be present as
consultants at the Conference on
International Education, tentatively
scheduled to meet in London this
fall.
Tells of Conference.
United States representatives must
give leadership to the World Youth
Congress, DR.. Emily Hickman, an
associate of the Division of Public
Liaison of the State Department,
said to the group. With the United
States and Russia most responsible
for what went on at San Francisco,
she said, and with Russia primarily
concerned with the problem of
world acceptance, it is up to this
country's youth to take the lead
in planning for postwar world.
DR.. Hickman also told of her i'm
