Vets Offered
Medical Care

with all the many new bene-,
fits now available to veterans,
the program of medical care adj
ministered by the Veterans Adj
ministration still remains the
most important of all - the most
necessary to the well being of
the men who served their coun-
try in time of war;" said Eu-
gene Anheir, VA local contact
representatives.
All over America, all through
the southeast, new hospitals and
additions to old hospitals are GO
ing up to better serve the vet
eran. New doctors, distinguished
consultants in every field of
medicine, are lending their
services to VA.
Medical care offered by VA
falls into two general categories:
disqualification and out-patient
care. Out-patient care is offered
only to veterans with service
connected ailments - those who
suffered physical disabilities
while in the armed services.
disqualification is available to
all qualified veterans.
Veterans of Key West and
Monroe County, who have speci-
fic problems, may call at the
local VA Office in Room 2l8 of
the Federal Building.

WASHINGTON, July L. A
reorganization plan for the Flor
ida East Coast railway which
would vest control in the ST. Joe
Paper Co., was recommended te
the Interstate Commerce com
mission last week. :
Examiner Ralph H. Jewell
of the commission. who made
the recommendation. also pro-
posed that the commission re-
iect the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroads reorganization plan
which would merge the Flor
tia East Coast and the Coast
Line.
In addition, the examiner
recommended that the commits
sion deny all petitions for mod.-
fication of the original reorga-
nization plan approved by the
commission early in January
1945, with certain exceptions.
Independent operation of the
reorganized Florida East Coast
system under control of the ST.
Joe Paper company, owned by
the Alfred I. Dupont estate, was
authorized by the commission
plan. So
In Jacksonville, the office OF

following statement: 1--WE are de-
lighted to see that Examiner
Jewell of ICC has reaffiTmed hl
former reports after his second
hearing of the establishment OF

ticularly pleased that the public
interest was so clearly, and fully
established in favor of an indie
pendent operation of the Flor

In July of last year, the
commission reopened the case
and permitted the Atlantic
Coast Line TO file its plan.

Florida Officials Accused
By Caldwell OF Blocking
Housing For State Wards
(Florida News Service)

TALLAHASSEE. - Governor
Caldwell has bluntly accused At
torney General Tom Watson and
Comptroller j. M. Lee of trying
to stop progress" and of putting
obstacles Fin the way of decent
housing for the wards of the
state. !"
His statement was made in
commenting on Watson's recent
tfermal Fadvice to Lee that he
should decline to follow a cab
met resolution transferring about
/; 81, 100000 into the building fund
until the courts have ruled on
the question.
What the Attorney General
and the Comptroller are doing
merely represents n o h er
chapter in the same old book
of delays and obstacles thrown
in the way of decent housing
for the wards of the state"
Governor Caldwell said.
The Governors statement is
the latest development in "a
months-old fight over interpreta-
ton of the act by which the 1945
Legislature authorized construc-
ton of $14,000,000 worth of state
buildings.
The act carries a specific APP
preparation of only $3,OO0,O 900 but
says the cabinet sitting as a bud
get commission may transfer I'M
needed SURPRISES and unexpected
balances of practically all state
agencies into the pool.
Projects for more than the
specific $3.000.000 appropria-
tion already have been author
ICED by the cabinet.
Comptroller Lee, acting on the
advice of the Attorney General,
has once before refused to make
the transfers from other funds
to swell the general construction
allotment.
Lee maintains that it is not
possible to tell whether agen-
cies have unexpended balance
until the end of their budget
periods. Lee said of the gov
errors criticism: II am sorry
the Governor lost his temper
and ! sincerely trust that with
the necessary cooling period
he will abandon any thought of
stopping construction and turn
his attention to the erection of
buildings at the several in
stitutions where they are so
greatly ne e d I'd with the
monies the legislature specifi-
callY appropriated for that pur-
pose.", ,.s
Watson said the Governor
might be-" disappointed and irk-
ed''a because the Attorney Gener-
a. didn't hand down the kind of
an opinion ''ny good friend MID
lard CALDWELL wanted about
transferring s$4,000,OOO into the
state building fund. The opinion
handed down, however, is IAN
honest one rendered after care
full, complete and expert study
of the question under considera-
tion," Watson asserted.

New Philippine Republic
Is Patterned After u. S.
AP Newsfeatures

AP NeWSteatureS
MANILA.-Torn but tempered
by history's toughest war, the
Philippine Commonwealth be-
comes a republic July A with a
government patterned closely
after that of its political parent,
the United States.
Except fer broadened .execu-
tive powers, asked by President
Manuel A. Roxas in his recent
message to Congress, and reor-
aanization of the executive
branch, the transition to indepen-
dence brings no departure from
governmental procedures estab-
hshed in 1888.
The president asked for and
probably will get expanded
powers to cope with the Philip
pines two most pressing prob
lems-reconstruction and econ
omic rehabilitation
OF the pair reconstruction of
devastated Manila and other war
wrecked cities is a relatively
simple matter of money and ma
terials. But the archipelago's eco
nomic ills, as reflected by spiral
ing prices, agrarian unrest and
widespread banditry, offer the
real challenge to the newborn
republic.
independence Day in the hot,
sprawling islands heralds a new
era in the Orient, whose multi
lingual millions elsewhere have
been insistently demanding self
determination and a start on the
road to the four freedoms.
The unprecedented grant of in
dependence to 100000 Fill
pinos is viewed as deeply signifi-
cant. Many observers say that
the course of future events in this
part of the world will be influ-
enced strongly by progress in self
rule made in the Philippines.
The republic has firm dem
ocratic foundation whose speci-
fic outlines were drawn by the
TYdings- McDuffie Act signed
by the late President Roosevelt
March "a. 1894. and accepted
by the commonwealth congress
May /.
The act provided for a dual in
strument consisting of perma-
nent constitution and an ordin-
ance governing relations between
the United States and the Com
monwealth for a period of ten
years from November Is, 1885.
The ordinance was ratified by
the Philippine electorate, women
included, IN a national plebiscite.
A constitutional conventio n
adopted a document simila" to
the Y. S. constitution, ut which
placed broader powers in the
hands of the executive and co..
tanned revisions to conform with
the provincial government sys-
tenn.
The constitution originally
provided for one six-Year presi-
DENTAL term and a unIc armeral
assembly. This was amended in
1870 to limit the terms of the
president and vice president to
four years and to pro ride for
one Immediate reelection. The
bicameral legislative system
