Burma have been wiped out in their

More than 1000 japanese have

communique said. The total dead
does not include those killed by
artillery fire or by air strikes, which
are taking a considerable toll.
The communique said japanese

fighting centered around Penwegon,
20 miles southeast of Nyauglebin.

Red Cross Will Stop
Work atSt. Elizabeth S
Observation-Disclosures
OverhoIser Says Cost
To District Will Rise;
Recreation Held VituI
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

Inc American Red Cross
which is spending nearly $780,
900 annually at st. Elizabeth's S
Hospital, will withdraw it's Serv-
ices as soon as the Navy mental
patients are removed from the
institution, Miss Lydia Blakesley
director of hospital services for
the Red Cross Eastern area, said
today.
AS result, it appeared likely that
the Districts expense for each Dis
trict mental patient at the hospital
would be increased to pay for recrea-
ton services when they no Longer
are provided by the Red Cross.
Miss Blakesley explained the Rec
Cross, by charter, does not furnish
services tc civilians. The Red Gross
recreational program at the hos
pital, however, mas provided com
plete ward coverage," thereby CIV
ing entertainment to civilian as
well as service patients.
Recreation Called Essential.
DR.. Winfred Overholser, superin.
tendent of the hospital, said the
Red Cross was the only source oi
recreation ana that it is a neces-
sary service because recreation is
considered a form OF treatment in
mental hospitals.
DR.. Overholser cited expenses fol
recreation as one reason why the
District may have to contribute
more money to the hospital. AL.
though withdrawal of Navy patients
and veterans eligible for Veterans
Administration facilities may cut
down some costs-such as food ano
clothing, DR.. Overholser said, othe,
overhead costs-such as heat, light
administration and maintenance
cannot be reduced.
The District now is paying 50 9
| day for the approximately 5000 Dis
trict mental cases at the hospital
District officials reported. DR.. over
holser said it was likely the per diem
cost for the District patients would
have to be increased because there
will be fewer patients when the Navy
cases and vateranS are withdrawn.
More Money Requested.
In the 1945 fiscal year the District
paid out $3,259, ,450 to the hospital
and had to ask for $4,000 more in
its second deficiency appropriation
to meet the costs.
For 1916, according to a District
official, less money was sought in the
appropriations bill because, Con-
gress was told, the per diem rate was
to be reduced to $l.80. A District
official expressed doubt that the re-
duction would be made now.
In another st. Elizabeth's develop
ment Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald announced today he had
completed his investigation into the
death on July 2 of Howard Crandall
sailor patient at the hospital, and
will mold an inquest at 1880 am
tomorrow.
Miss Blakesley said the Red Cross
had provided social work for the
service patients and recreation for
all patients at st. Elizabeth's since
the last war.
The Red Cross, she said, also has
used the hospital as teaching CEN
ter for students from schools OF So
cial work and as training center
for hundreds of Red Cross workers
learning to serve in mental hos
pitfalls.

Senators Delay Action
On Revised GI Bill
Until After Recess
Criticism of Loan
Provision in House
Measure Is Cited
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Considerable opposition to the
House approved bill which makes
sweeping changes in the loan and
educational provisions of the GI
Bill of Rights has developed and
no effort will be made to rush the
amendments through the Senate,
Chairman johnson of the Vet
Grams Subcommittee of the SEN
ate Finance Committee, disclosed
today.
The subcommittee will take up
the measure in the fall, when Con-
gress returns from its two-month
vacation, Senator johnson said
Hearings will be held and the
amendments will be explore d
thoroughly, he added.
The opposition to the GI amend
ments does not come so much from
Senators, few of whom have ex-
pressed any opinion on the measure,
as from outside sources, it was said.
Some interests feel that the loan
provision passed by the House would
let the Government in for heavy
losses without making it any easier
for veterans TO get credit.
Rushed Through House.
The CT loan section, as rewrit-
ten in the House, would require
the Veterans Administration to
guaranteeing to S2,000-any loan
approved by an accredited bank or
other lending agent. The lender
would have sole authority to decide
whether the loan was sound.
While members of the House Vet
erans' Committee held that this
would cut red tape and expedite
loans, which now have to go to
Washington for approval, others
contend it would put the Govern
ment in the position of guarantee
ing something it did not investi-
gate and veterans still would have
to depend on the favor of their
local lending institutions. ~ -
The CT amendments were rushed
through the House at one of the
final sessions before vacation ad-
journment by unanimous consent,
with little discussion and with few
members on the floor. Chairman
Rankin of the Veterans Committee
got the leadership of both parties
to consent to the unusual maneuver,
which usually is reserved for un-
controversial bills. The 48-page bill
was not read in the House.
Pushes Compensation Bill.
Senator johnson hopes to pass
one veterans bill before the Senate
adjourns, which may be at the end
of the week. This is House-ap-
proved legislation increasing COM
pensation for veterans who have
suffered amputation, blindness or
other disabling wounds.
The Colorado Senator has intro
duced a bill which he will offer in
place of the House measure. His
bill provides all the increases rec
commended by the Veterans Admin
istration. These were scaled down
in the House.
A report from the Budget Bureau
clearing the legislation is awaited
before Senator johnson offers 1t -on
the floor.
While final enactment of the bill
would be delayed until confer
ence committee of the two Houses
threshed out the differences, Sem
ator Johnson explained that he
wanted to give disabled veterans
notice of the type of compensation
which Congress plans to give them.
