Appointments
Continued From First Page.)

Gen. Littlejohn from WAA, the
President praised mis- work, saying
that he had done an excellent job
and that he was just tough enough
to do it.
The President pointed out that
WAA is due to be liquidated next
June.
In his letter of resignation, made
public at the White House, Gen
Littlejohn was highly critical OF
Congress, saying that three pieces
of legislation enacted at the last
session "have retarded real property
disposals." He said, however, that
plans are being made which should
cure this situation at an early date
Mr.. Grays appointment as Gen
Bradley's successor ended wide
spread speculation which had CEN
tered around a dozen other possible
candidates from military, profess
sional and civil life. Foremost among
them were DR.. Paul r. HaWley, VA
medical director; Maj. Gen. Lewis
B. Hershey, director OF selective
service records; Mr. Clark, chief
aide to Gen. Bradley at VA, and
Robert w. johnson, president OF
Johnson & johnson, the surgical
dressing firm.
Veterans Groups Approve.
Ray H. Brannaman, commander
! in-chief of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, commended the President for
his selection and called Mr.. Gray
IAN outstanding civilian with ad-
ministrative experience" The VFW
commander said Mr.. Gray's service
in both world wars will enable him
to evaluate the many problems con-
fronting veterans today.
National Commander James F
ONeil of the American Legion said
''The American Legion is very graf
ified over the appointment" and
added that he thought the President
made a wise selection"
The Legion previously had tolc
the President it thought he should
choose man financially able to
make the Government post "a life
time" proposition. The job pays
$4,000 year. The VFW had ex-
pressed opposition to appointment
of either military or a professional
man.
Bradley Realizes Hope.
For Gen. Bradley, the return te
military life is the realization OF
hope he has had for the last two
years.
Long known as the "doughboys
general" he frequently has told re-
porters he was drafted" for the VA
job. At numerous places-includ-
ing stormy congressional hearings
Gen. Bradley has said that while he
would do as good a job as he was
capable of doing, his main interest
was to get back to the Army as soon
as possible.
President Truman called the four
star general back from Europe on
August IS, 1945, to take over the
VA post, at a point when the
agency's hospital and administrative
programs were under heavy fire
from many quarters.

pected ito take up the insurance
problem Immediately"
Otherwise, Mr.. Gray said, he has
no immediate plans until he has the
opportunity to examine the situa-
tion.
Mr.. Gray said President Truman
has not made any stipulation re-
garding his duties but that he could
not hold two Government jobs at
the same time. Therefore, Mr.. Gray
said he will resign his post as chair
man of the War Department Com
mittee on National Guard and Re-
serve Problems.

A noted orthopedic surgeon from
Chicago, DR.. Magnuson is credited
with building the VA program o1
alleviating drastic doctor shortages
by training physicians as residents
in veterans hospitals. Last month
he was named chief of professional
service at the agency, to work di-
rectly under DR.. HaWley.
DIR. Hawley Had Free Rein.
DR.. Hawley accepted the VA med
ical directors job with the under
standing that he would have a free
rein in building quality of medical
service, and was able to attract top
specialists to serve as consultants at
hospitals.
The present service has developed
into one of the finest medical pro-
grams in the Nation.
VA officials, many of whom hoped
DR.. Hawley would be named head
of the agency, are concerned over
the effect his leaving may have
on other key medical personnel
many of them recruited by DR..
Hawley.
