VETERAN5' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL


 Congress, of course, with an eye toward reducing government ex- penSes and cutting taxes, must make every effort to check up on how the VA is spending it's money. The talk gets around to VAS con- tract service.
 A member of the committee says Throughout New York State we have a county and state set-up, and in many cases city set-up whose job it is to look after veter- ans claims and problems. Now we have the Veterans Administration coming in with another set-up (the contact service) and I feel there should be some way in which we could do away with this dupli- cation"
 General Bradley talks. "As I see it, we are charged with taking cer- tain services to the veteran. and it was in the law that we should es- tablish such regional and contact offices as were necessary to ad- minister.
 T have some figures here" Brad ley says. "On March 1 the Director of the N. Y State division of vet erans' affairs announced that 95,047 veterans had contacted the New York local veterans agencies"
 Then Bradley goes on to explain that the VA itself had contacted personally more than 372,000 veter- ans in New York and had been in touch by telephone with another 93,OOO.
 T think you have to consider this, too," continues the general If we do not answer those ques- tions in person we are going to nave to answer lot of them by mail. It is probably more econom- ical to answer them personally than it would be to put on cleri- cal force to write the letters"
 The argument goes back and forth, Congress trying sincerely to find some method of reducing costs the VA contending over and over again that to reduce costs vii really hurt service to veterans.

CATERPILLAR HAS DEVELOPED MANY
 NEW PRODUCTIONS

Caterpillar Tractor O., Peoria, H., has placed in production two new Diesel engines and has intro duced new models of the two Diesel track-type tractors and the two Diesel motor graders which these engines will power, according to an announcement today by the North ern Commercial Co. distributor oi Caterpillar" products in this area.
 These new models offer increased power, improved design, new, stronger materials and the results of more than five years of re- search; developments which will bring to users ample power to handle present work loads at in- creased working speeds or increased work loads at present speeds-both factors in providing the power user with greater earning capacity
 Included in the array of new machines are the four-cylinder D3l5 and the siX-cylinder D3l8 en- zines, new D4 and DC tractors and new Diesel No l2 and Diesel No. 112 Motor Graders
 The D3l5 engine has a maximum output, with radiator fan and full equipment, of TO horsepower, while the D318 is similarly rated at 105 horsepower. Both engines are avail able as industrial units, electric sets and marine engines.
 The new DC tractor develops 65 drawbar horsepower and 75 belt horsepower, an increase of ten horsepower over comparable figures for the previous model: while the new D4 tractor, with 43 drawbar horsepower and 48 belt horsepower, offers a 20 percent increase in work power over the model it replaces. Increases are carried into the new motor graders, the new Diesel No 12 offering 100 horsepower and the new Diesel No. 112 developing 10 horsepower.

Tcday's column is an account Of some of the testimony came across in reading over the hearings on what's called in Congress the First, Deficiency Appropriation Bill Of 1947.
 When fiscal year gets under way on July l, government agen- cies are given so much money to carry them through that fiscal year. But often this money runs out be- fore the next July 1 and the gov- ernment has to go before Congress and ask for more money. a de- ficiency appropriation.
 That's what has happened to the Veterans Administration. They've run out of dough and are looking for more.
 So this is an account of some of the things General Bradley told the House Appropriations Committee when he went up there to put the bite on them.
 Just imagine you're sitting in the committee room. General Bradley is in the witness chair. One of the committee members is asking him about reports about some veterans not getting their subsistence allow ance checks on time. With all the money being spent by the VA on "administrative costs" he asks, why is that? Why can't clerks get those checks out on time?
 Bradley answers, You cannot get 10000 people involved in admin istrativc work and expect them all to be 100 percent efficient. When we get case like that we try to trace it down. Sometimes the mistake is in our procedure. But often we find that we never got a record from the school the veteran is attending
 "Of course Bradley continues, i've have to take the blame. We found 42 records on the desk in one college registrars office which had been there 78 days. We have to take the blame for not getting them paid

''LCS! WEEKEND"
 COMES TONIGHT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Ray Midland was chosen by Para mount to portray Don Birnam, Charles Jackson's te-devilled hero of The Lost Weekend" in the film adoption of the best seller, which comes to the 20th Century Theatre tonight.
 "The Lost Weekend" tells the unusual and unforgettable story of five days out of a young mans life-five days of horror and of such intensely dramatic events to make their reproduction on the screen an accomplishment of rare couragement on the part of the producers and rare talent on the part of the performers.
 Midland, as Don Birnam, whose weakness for liquor drives him to the depths of human degradation, Is said to be absolutely superb in the role.
 Jane Wyman will be seen as his devoted sweetheart, who will not give up fighting for the man she loves, and Phillip Terry plays Mill lands long suffering brother. 9th CTS in the film are Howard da Silva, Doris Bowling and Frank Faylen.
 The picture was produced by Charles Bracket and directed by Billy Wilder The two men also wrote the screen play-one of the toughest assignments ever tackled, but one which should bring them enormous praise. Wilder will be remembered for his Double In- demnity," among other films.

Royal Plans Inspection
Trip Of Panama Canal i.

Army Secretary Royal is planning
an inspection trip to the Panama
Canal, but no definite date has been
set, the Army disclosed today. The
Army Department has jurisdiction
over the canal.
Canal officials have proposed the
immediate conversion of the lock-
type ditch to sea-level canal, and
presumably Mr.. Royals inspection
is in connection with this proposal.
The conversion of the canal to
provide maximum military security
and commercial service would cost
$4,000, 100000. 1t would require 10
years of work and would be one OF
the greatest engineering projects of
all time.
Making good Use of the present
route, the sea-level improvement
would cut five miles and four hours
from the present transit schedule.
AS a measure of the physical job
to be done, three times the excava-
ton of the original canal would be
required

Cold Baths Mark Nations Rise,
Hot Baths Its Fall, Doctor Says

Are you the type who beats his
chest each morning beneath the
singing spray of an icy shower?
Or do you like to wallow luxuri-
ous!y in a steaming hot tub?
Upon your choice, and the bath
ing habits of your countrymen, de-
pends the Nations virility or deca
dence, a Veterans Administration
doctor warned last night.
Having set his criterion, DR.. Har-
old J. Gordon was inclined to take
dim view of the present state OF
civilization.
Il like a hot bath myself" he
had to admit, as he addressed the
annual Christmas meeting Of the
District Association of Medical Rec
ord Librarians.
Analyzing the bathing habits Of
mankind since the earliest records
of civilization, DR.. Gordon found
that Spartan habits were charac-
teristic of the periods during which
nations were expanding their pow
er and culture.
In this ascendant period, he said,
the people bathed to cleanse and
tone their bodies, and tended to use
cold water, noele.t NJ
But when they achieved the
wealth and luxury they had been
