There are 34 Territorial beneficiar- ies and eight veterans If the ANS is forced to discontinue paylng TOT the disqualification of it's majority of the patients, it will be necessary to close the sanatorium.

 pr. Albrecht said that he does not expect to be in Washington for longer than two weeks, although his return is dependent upon the date of the hearings.
