VA Hospital Beds

Representative Kearney, Repub-
lican, of New York disclosed last
night that Col. George E. Ijams,
former assistant administrator OF
the Veterans Administration, at
tempted as early as December 8,
1941, to get plans drawn for addi-
tons to veterans hospitals, but "his
recommendations went UNDECIDED"
Col. Ijams, who resigned last
month as assistant VA administers
tor in charge of construction and
supplies to become national rehabili-
tation director of the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars, was honor guest at a
dinner given last night by the VFW.
In introducing him, Mr.. Kearney
called attention to the present hos
pital problems of VA, which now
has more than 5000 veterans on
waiting lists for disqualification, and
said Col. Ijams met opposition from
VA and the Federal Board of Hos

for the expected load of veterans
seeking disqualification.

at regular intervals" said Mr.. Kear-
ney, who is chairman of the WV
Rehabilitation Committee and
past national commander in chief
of the organization. His recon-
mendations made throughout the
recent war years, for thousands Of
additional hospital beds, were met
by replies that there was no reason
for alarm, there would be a long
war; many of the wounded would
not get to home shores; after de-
mobilization. the hospital situation
could be planned and executed"
Col. Ijams told the guests that
each department of the Govern
ment appeared to be so busy with
its own affairs during the war that
they could not see the predicament
confronting the Veterans Admin
istration."
Veterans Administrator Bradley,
who attended the dinner, called on
VFW and other veterans organiza-
tons to give proper direction to
World War II veterans who have
developed elements of leadership
during the war.
