ITO say that long after Gen. Mac
Arthur's magnificent military feats
are forgotten, he will be remem-
bered as the man who pioneered
comfort for the American male in
the matter Of clothes. Certainly
if five-star general can receive
the alleged Son Of Heaven in a
sartorial outfit that didn't stand
him more than 10 bucks, the aver
age man doesn't have to get all
dressed up to receive the son OF
Mr.. Jones from around the corner

or to realize that the Emperor is

collar binds his Adams apple, pre-
venting free up and down move

to give it its medical name. His
swallow-tail coat binds him fore ano

and natural circulation of his Japa-
nese blood, and-while the picture
doesn't show tt am sure that the
patent leather shoes which he surely
must be wearing, hurt his feet.
How much happier he would hav,

 Consequently, V.

Also, we're back to Form PHO again, because he must sign that he's financially unable to pay for care or treatment.

 In this first preference" group there are cwo other classes. The first of these is composed of off cers or enlisted men who had hon. orable service during period of war and who have been retired. If it is medically determined that they need treatment for injuries or dis ease incurred in line of duty, and not the result of their own miscon- duct. they can get it.
 The other class may surprise you To get it straight, let's use an ex- ample. A young man applied for enlistment in the Navy. He was provisionally accepted and then dir ected to report to a Navy installa- tion for final acceptance into the Naval service.
 As a passenger on a bus on his way to the Navy installation to be finally accepted, he was injured. He was hospitalized and never was ac- cepted. A long time after he got out of the hospital his injury grew verse. He is entitled to treatment in a Veterans Administration Hos pital and comes within the first preference" group.

 OK. Let's go on from there.
 The second group of ex-service people in line for admission is made up of those with honorable dis charges who are in need of treat ment for line of duty injuries or diseases, but who had no wartime service. This includes retired en- listed men or officers. In this bunch, a retired Army man with no wartime service must agree to pay daily subsistence rate-about dollar a day. This second group can get authorized V. A. hospital treat ment at any time. The question on Form P-10 (which I've mentioned hefore) about financial ability to pay for disqualification won't affect the first and second groups at all.
