Veterans Centers Expansion
Into General Service Urued

guide Is based on suggestions from
40 directors Of existing centers who
met here In December.
Complete Service Lacking.
Although more than 1,500 COM
munities now have veterans centers,
most Of them only give informa-
ton instead Of service, Gen. Erskine
explained.
He said his representatives not
only had found Governors willing
to go along with the IRA idea, but
some cities have sent hurry calls to
the IRA to help them set up centers
as result OF sudden influx OF vet
Grams.
For the last 18 months, three Gov
ernment agencies have been charged
with the responsibility for getting
information centers organized where
they were needed. They were the
ISelective Service System, United
States Employment Service and Vet
erans' Administration. VA field rep
resentatives were directed by the
IRA under Gen. Erskine,s predeces-
sor, Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, to
form State and local veterans COM
mittees.
Gen. Erskine, who commanded the
Marines on Two Jima and is now
awaiting congressional approval of
his appointment to the RRA, made
1t clear that he believes Government
agencies can't do the job he thinks
should be done.
Reports from some of the largest
centers, he said, indicate that less
than 80 per cent of the questions
brought to the centers can be ans
wered by Federal agencies. The re-
naming 10 per cent Of the questions
he added, have to be answered by
trained counsellors drawn from the
community or not answered at all
People got in the habit of lean
ing on the Government during the
war;" he said. Many communities
simply failed to realize the problem
they would be up against after the
war. Now every agency in the COM
munity will have to pitch in to give
friendly, effective help to those in
need of it."

City Heads 10. Hear
Treasury Expert on
Retirement System

The Commissioners are expected
to meet Tuesday with r. r. Reagh
Treasury Department expert, to dis
cuss the proposed bill revising the
police and firemen's retirement sys-
tenn.
Mr.. Reagh made study on which
the suggested changes are based
after Congress called for a survey
in the 1912 District appropriation
bill on the ground that the system
was too costly. The draft of the bill
was prepared by the corporation
counsel.
The pending measure, on which
the city heads have yet made nc
decision, would affect not only Dis
trict police and flremen but also
Park and White House police and
some members of the Secret Service
Changes Outlined.
The city heads previously have
discussed the changes with police
and fire officials and with organ
izations representing both active and
retired members Of both groups. Mr.
Reagh has been invited to their
regular board meeting Tuesday
morning.
Changes in the present system
according to the corporation coun-
sells Office would include:
l. Instead of computing the an
nuity benefit on the basis Of hall
the base pay at which the person
retires, the new measure would COM
pute it on half the highest five-yeal
average
2. Raises from 3h to S per cent
the deduction from pay for retire
ment, bringing the police and fire
men in line with all other District
and Federal employees.
Sets Up Widows Annuity.
g. Under present procedure s
widow receives up to $50 a month
without previous contribution by tn.
husband. The proposed change
would deduct from the mans annu-
ity half the amount he wants hi.
wife to receive in event Of his death
For example, a man wanting to OBJ
tain the maximum Of $50 a month
for his widow would have to deduct
from his annual income $500.
4. To encourage men to stay on
the force after rs years service, the
new bill would give such men an in
crease of 4 per cent of their an
nuity base for each year they stayed
on between the ages of 55 and so
They might then retire, preferably
at go rather than at IS.
Most Of the objections to the bill
to date have been directed a" the
changing of the provisions fol-
widows.

Veterans Appeals
For Housing Doubles
Space Now in Siqht

The Government has received an
plications for more than $500, ,o00,-
600 in emergency homes for vet
erans-over twice the amount
which can be provided with the
s1s1 100000 appropriated by Con-
gress-it was disclosed last night.
So heavy has been the demand in
nine regional Offices of the Federal
Public Housing Authority in the last
two weeks that FPHA has been
forced to set up a quota system.
Even II Congress provided more
funds, available temporary war
housing and barracks suitable for
conversion into emergency dwell
ings would be insufficient to fill ap-
pl1cations on hand, it was learned.
Farley Called Here.
This disclosure came as represen-
tatives Of 80 national organizati tions
prepared to meet this week in the
United States Chamber of Com
merce to discuss the housing emer-
gency. Wilson w. Wyatt, National
Housing Administrator, Civilian Pro-
duction Administrator Small and
OPA Administrator BoWles will
speak.
More than 25o,oOO dwelling units
are being sought by communities
and colleges as veterans housing,
it was learned from a Government
source last night. When Congress
recently appropriated funds for a
program to convert and relocate war
housing to centers Of greatest need,
FPHA estimated the amount would
be sufficient to provide approximate
Iy 100000 emergency dwelling units.
Applications are still coming in
and there Is no indication when the
flood will subside,' an official said.
college presidents and city officials
have been coming to Washington
to beg for housing"
$4,000 Units Approved.
So far, removal and re-erection
OF an estimated 10000 dwelling
units have been approved by FPHA
regional Offices. The program of
assigning dwellings for relocation
Is decentralized and those applying
by letter or in person to FPHA
headquarters here are referred back
to the regional offices.
Under the program, local COM
munities are required to provide
sites and necessary grading and in
stall utilities. The Government paws
for removal and reconstruction of
the units.

Veterans information centers-
such as the one in Washington--
would be changed to community
advisory centers" to give advice and
counsel to all persons whose lives
have been disrupted by war, under
program outlined last night by
Maj. Gen. Graves b. Erskine, U. s.
M. c., Secretary Of Labor Schwellen-
bach's personal representative In
charge Of the Retraining and Re-
employment Administration.
Instead Of going to q center fol-
information, the veterans will 90 for
advice on any question-from run
ming a restaurant to settling fam
lily problem, Gen. Erskine explained
While veterans present the most
immediate problems. he added, the
community center should open its
doors to any one who has a problem
growing out Of the war-particu-
larly widows and orphans Of serv-
icemen.
Four Steps Outlined.
To accomplish what he has In
mind, focal point in every COM
munity where all the public and
private agencies combine, Gen. Err
skine is taking the following steps
l. He has called q two-day con-
ference beginning tomorrow Of rep
lresentatives Of every State and ter
ritorial Governor to spur interest
in forming or improving advisory
centers in the communities.
2. IRA Representatives are being
sent from State to State to sell
Mayors and Governors on the ide,
that well-run advisory centers are
the best way to prevent veterans
from becoming bitter, anti-social
or undemocratic."
3. Postcard questionnaires are
being dispatched to every town with
population Of more than 10000 to
find out what facilities are being
offered for veterans.
4. A booklet explaining in detail
how to organize and operate a COM
munity advisory center has been
completed and Is now awaiting ap-
proval before being issued through
out the country. The step-by-step
