Fat, Soop and Leather Supply
To Increase Only Gradually

Supplies Of animal products
such as fats, soap, leather and me-
dicinal compounds will be increased
gradually by the removal of live
stock price ceilings, but shortages
will continue to be severe for two
Tor three months, Government
spokesmen and industry officials
said today
To increase imports of scarce
leather the Civilian Production Ad-
ministration said it would permit
tanners to buy foreign cattle hides
without counting them against
quota ALLEGATIONS. Price ceilings still
exist on leather, however, which
means the tanners would have to
absorb any amount above ceiling
they paid for the foreign hides.
CPA said its new ruling would
continue 80 long as a substantial
part of the industry is. operating at
less than a minimum economic
rate" 1t warned tanners not to
withdraw more foreign hides than
can be processed within go days.

spokesmen indicated their speedy
removal is under consideration
Soap supplies, the agency said, are
at rock bottom with no reserves
and building up reserves is ex-
pected to take months. Supplies of
cooking compounds are expected to
show a marked increase within 80
days as cattle move to market The
trimming of excess fats from meat
cuts will help cure this shortage.

Clear Policy Sought
By Veterans Agency
In Nonseryice Cases
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Veterans Administration
moved today for a clear-cut defini-
ton of national policy regarding flu
ture medical care and nospitaliza-
ton OF veterans with nonservice-
connected disabilities.
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, veterans
administrator, drafted "a letter to
President Truman outlining the crit
ical situation he said has arisen in
handling such cases, due to the
shortage of doctors, nurses and hos
pital space.
The point might be reached, Gen.
Bradley noted, where no more vet
Grams with nonservice disabilities
could be accommodated.
Under existing policy, many vet
Grams with nonservice connected dis
abilities have been receiving free
Government medical care. Officials
said this has resulted in the follow
ing situation:
/. Approximately 10 per cent of
currently hospitalized veterans from
all previous wars have disabilities in
no way connected with their mill
tary service.
Q. World War II veterans with non-
service disabilities already slightly
exceed those with service-connected
disabilities and their number is in
creaSing.
Present laws give veterans with
service-connected disabilities first
call on hospital facilities. If addi-
tional space is available veterans
with nonservice- connected cases
may be received but they must
sign a statement saying they are
unable to pay hospital or doctors
bill.
Veterans organizations have been
trying to liberalize the rules. The
American Legion wants the pauper's
oath abolished. The Veterans OF
Foreign Wars have approved reso-
lutions that all disabled veterans
be cared for.
Alarmed Veterans Administration
officials claim If Government policy
is liberalized much further there
might be so many patients I'VE
couldn't find the doctors to care
for them"

School Officials Seek
More Space for Veterans

Serious overcrowding of the
courses for veterans at Central High
School may be relieved soon by dis
tributing the classes among other
high schools, according to Robert
L. Haycock, superintendent of
schools.
Following plea in The Sunday
Star by Robert G. Vanderlip, di-
rector of the center. for relief, school
officers met yesterday to discuss the
situation. The enrolment in ii
classrooms at Central is expected
to reach $50 by next week.
After a satisfactory plan has
been made a report will be SUBJ
mitted to the Board of Education
for approval" Mr.. Haycock said.
The superintendent said that sew
eral plans are being explored" but
indicated that decentralizing the
classes is the most likely solution.
The courses for colored veterans
already are spread among several
