McNuf Urges U. s. Action
To End Philippine Chaos
BY the Associated Pres,


Paul v. McNutt said last night the
Philippines are islands Of confu-
sion" in sea of Oriental unrest,
and that much of the confusion is
made in America"
just back from three months in
the islands. the High COMMISSIONS
to the Philippines called for imme-
diate action on economic measures
and for future American response
bility for the Philippines even after
they become independent July 4.
Mr.. McNutt, in an NBC broadcast
specifically urged swift congression-
al action on bills to give Philippine
industry preferential tariff for %
years and to authorize the appro-
priation OF $3.50 100000 for rebuild
ing public works and repairing war
damage.
The islands have been waiting
five months for this "life-giving'
legislation. he said, and positive re-
Mobilization cannot get under way
without It.

Amvets Indorse Gen. Bradley
After Talk on Huqe VA Task

The Veterans Administration Is
beginning to "see daylight" through
the maze Of problems that have
multiplied since VI Day, Admin
istrator Bradley told the national
committee Of American Veterans OF
World War II yesterday.
Talking for nearly an hour at
the New Colonial Hotel meeting
Gen. Bradley so impressed the grow
ing young veterans group that 1t
gave unanimous Endorsement to his
program and the manner in which
it is being prosecuted.
Gen. Bradley broadly covered the
entire pattern of veterans affairs
from hospitals to education, and
showed how in each instance prog
ress was going ahead with increas-
ing momentum.
Points Brought Out.
Among the salient points brought
out we're these:
l. There are 81 veterans hospi-
tails either projected or under con-
struction and there are 10000 vet
Grams in need of disqualification, but
only 476 of these are suffering "serv-
ce-connected" disabilities.
2. A short time ago the admin
istration was a month behind in
its work. Today it is only two
weeks behind" and should soon op-
crate on schedule.
3. Most former servicemen are
enrolling at the larger colleges and
universities. The administration is
advising those who would be edu-
Gated under the CT Bill of Rights
to attend smaller schools. If prop
erly followed, this should eliminate
overcrowding.
4. The administration is backing
legislation to convert National Serv-
ice Life Insurance to a peacetime
basis with features similar to those
OF the World War. This would per-
init payment of smaller policies in
lump sums.
Sees Savings of Millions.
Gen. Bradley said the policy of
not proceeding too rapidly in con-
struction OF hospitals while materi-
ais are not up to par, is saving the
country millions of dollars.
One reason hospital facilities are
overcrowded is that the average
veteran receives 38 days treatment,
compared to to 10 days for the
average civilian, the general said.
The administration is in need Of
1900 more doctors.
Gen. Bradley cited some astro-
nomical figures to show just what
the administration has been up
against. And he thought the pro-
gram was farther advanced at this
time than was our war effort a
comparable time after Pearl Har-
Dor.
In December the administration
outgrew facilities in High Point,
N. c., for its permanent files on all
veterans - files necessary for the
processing of claims. The files were
moved to st. Louis, Mo-, and there
was a long period when 10000 900
records were in the process of be-
ing rearranged. This put the ad-
ministration farther behind in its
work.
Immensity Of the Work.
Gen. Bradley gave the veterans
an idea of the immensity of the
work cut out for his 10000 Wash
ington Office subordinates, and
mentioned that more employees
were needed. There now are -300,-
900 disability pensions to cope
with, but an even more complex
job is that of insurance.
There are $4,000, 900 names in the
Evening star., 1946-02-24

locator file and in them are $50, 900
Smiths. Worse yet, there are 10000
John Smiths-and 5000 of them
have no middle initial. That COM
plicates things when ex-servicemen
fail to properly identify themselves
on submitting monthly premiums.
On top of that, 2,000.0 900 claims
have been f1led-300, 900 OF them last
month alone.
The number Of unemployed vet
erans jumped 100000 in January
and now stands at 0,000-propor-
tionately three times more than
the number of unemployed civilians,
the general said.
Tells of Strike Fears.
Many veterans do not wish work
in industry at this time for fear
they will be laid off by strikes and
thus be deprived of their $20-a-week
unemployment compensation, he
added.
The general thought it would be
better for widows to receive insur-
ance payments in a lump sum,
especially for smaller bracket poll
cies. On the other hand, he thought
the larger policies should be paid
in monthly installments to avert
such embarrassment as during the
depression when many of the lump
sum payments quickly disappeared.
He saw improvement In the i'm
Fermentation of Government loans.
For one thing, application forms
have been shortened and can be
handled more expeditiously. He
said loans are harder to get in areas
where imitation exists and there still
is trouble getting lenders interested
In the program. About SO per cent
Of the loans to date have been for
homes, and the rest for businesses,
he said.
Education Problem.
The administration is concentrate
ing on the education problem, ne
said. Pointing out the tendency to
overcrowd larger institutions, he said
the University Of Minnesota now
has about 1000 EXCL enrollees.
To iron out all the complaints, he
is ordering regional Offices to send
men to all the schools for interviews
with the veterans, Gen. Bradley
said.
The administration also is pre-
pairing monthly releases for the
press to report progress.
We have nothing to hide" said

FIRsT-cLAsS AIRFIELD

Three weeks or SO ago The Citizen
was informed that, 'in about so days, we
would know the status of the naval air
base on Boca Chica, whether it would be
closed, operated on a reduced scale or
continued as it is now.
Before then, and since then, uneffi-
cial reports have continued to be made
about the base, as a result of which civic
committee has been named to try to have
the navy retain the base on its present
status.
The Citizen trusts the committee will
succeed in attaining it's objective, yet of
one thing we are certain: the airfield is
there and one-half of it belongs to Monroe
county. The Monroe county part Of the
field is estimated to be worth So, 900. 600,
and, according to an agreement with the
federal government the field is to be given
back to- the country within six months after
the war has been officially declared to be
over. That proclamation has not yet been
made by the President
Recently, the county commissioners
have not discussed the question of what
they will do with the field when it is re-
turned to the county, but at the time the
agreement was made with the govern
ment, on the reduction of the lease from
S2,400 to 81 year, commissioners spoke
of using their part of, the base as a great
commercial airfield. Should that be done,
the county will have one of! the best fields
of that type in the state. !lIIIlll,..4. VI
While all key Westefs would BID
pleased lucknow that thelIhavy is going
to continue indefinitely the use of the base,
yet, regardless of what the decision NAV
be, the county stands to get a first-class
airfied. ..f.4 t.r.@

TRAVEL BY AIR, LAND AND SEA y

x, A few years ago number, Of the, big
railroad corporations attempted to meet
the competition of the dir. carriers BY
operating their own air transport lines.
Now the steamship lines have. asked Con-
gress for-the right to operate International
air transport services. The steamship COM
panic have3joined up with spokesman for,
labor unions in denouneing air transport
agreements which the State Department
made with France and England. The pub
lie relations of the railroads and steam
ship companies have always shot their
wads in releases to the daily newspapers.
The airways are tagging after them.
Although the heart of America is in
those regions where the family news
papers are printed, they are ignored by
the wise public relations brass hats of
transportation.
Just why Congress has to bother with
propositions of steamship lines engaging
in air service is difficult to understand in
view of the fact that the big job the steam
ship companies have ahead Of them is to
restore the operation of steamship lines
across ocean routes. FL
There are fleets of steamships tied
up in United States ports and in the rivers

presses the hope that the impress

the lives of some. t'Spititual Food,

readers thoughts may turn again
to this laymans sermon and bring
that person to Cod N sst
While nieditating on the three
verses in Isaiah, our contributor
set down the following thoughts:
Isaiah 1:18 reads: Come now,
and let us reason together, saith
the Lord; though your sins be as
scarlet, they shall be as white as
snow; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as WOOL
"The first two words in this
verse says, COME NOW, not to-
morrow or some other day, but
NOW TODAY. Friend, God
wants to talk with you NOW. He
wants to reason with you about
your sins NOW. He says, Though
they be as scarlet He will make
them "as white as snow.
Can there's be anything more
reasonable than that? God loves
you, He wants to save you, and
He wants to do it NOW. Don't
put off your souls salvation. Come
TODAY and be saved-tomorroW
may be too late. Life is uncer-
tain, eternity is sure. You will
have to spend eternity somewhere
your soul will never die it
will live on and on as long as
eternity lasts. The choice is up to
you but God wants to forgive your
sins and make you ready to spend
eternity with Him. He loves you,
He gave His Only Begotten Son
to die for you. Won't you COME
NOW to reasonable God and let
Him forgive your sins?
I'm Isaiah 55:6,7, it says: Seek
we the Lord while He may be
found, call We upon Him while He
is near. Let the wicked forsake
his ways, and the unrighteous man
his thoughts, and let him return
unto the Lord, and He will have
mercy on him; and to our God,
for He will abundantly pardon
THE way is open, God is ever
waiting, Christ hsa made the SUI
preme sacrifice that you may live
with Him eternally. The decision
lies with you. Won't you decide

his desk. He had eaten breakfast
an hour before his usual time.
He felt that this would be busy
day-that things were due to hap

that they happened. He knew
that the only way TO get all the
facts was to light fires under the

would boil to the surface eventu-
ally.
On the agenda he had listed
in his mind were several impor-
