Group Health Seeking
Ito Act for Veterans Z.
As Medical Agent

The Group Health Association
today asked the Veterans Admins
tration to allow veterans among
GHA's membership to designate the
association os their health service
agency.
The health cooperative, in a letter
to DR.. Paul r. Hawley, VAS chief
medical director, asked, for a con-
tract similar to that recently signed
between the veterans agency and
the District Medical Society.
Specifically, Melvin L. Dollar, the
associations executive director, sug-
gested that veterans who are mem
bers of the cooperative and who
are authorized by VA to receive
medical care for service-connected
disabilities from private practitioner
be permitted to designate the asso-
citation for that medical service.
MIR. Dollar proposed that payment
for this service would be made
directly to the association at rates
already established here by agree
ment between VA and the District
Medical Society.
Group Health. Mr.. Dollar said, was
not concerned with the fees 1t
might get from this source but
wanted to insure that its members
retained the right of free choice of
medical service" and continuity of
medical care"
I'VE are concerned also" said Mr..
Dollar, that no private organization
in the medical field should acquire
a monopolistic position regarding
publically sponsored program. We
feel that CHA and all other legiti-
mate programs of this type should
be permitted to participate in any
medical care program financed from
plblic funds"

islands. Russia nearly secured SOW
ereignty over the archipelago
through the purchase of Norwegian
owned mines in 1917, but the nego-
tiations broke down.
A British Foreign Office spokes-
man in London said Britain was
aware of a request" from some
power" to establish base on the
archipelago, but emphasized that
she had received no request for a
modification of the 1920 treaty.
The accord exacted from Norway
as a preliminary to her admission
to the League of Nations, an as
surance that she would mot create,
or allow to be established, any naval
base and not to permit construc-
ton of any fortification which might
be used for warlike purposes" There
was speculation among legal ex-
perts in London as to whether an air
base would come under the treaty's
prohibitions.

Truman Recommend.
Liquidation Of Five
u. 5. Corporations
BY ihe Asseeiotsd Press

President Truman today recon-
mended liquidation Of five Govern
ment corporations and return to
the Treasury Of $379, ,0o0. 900 In funds
OF other corporations.
Government corporations to con-
tinue, Mr.. Truman told Congress in
his, budget message, should be "reve-
nue-producing."
Chief OF those proposed for IL
quidation Is the Rubber Develop
ment Corp.-a possible sign that the
Government plans shortly to quit
the rubber purchasing business and
restore it to private trade.
Others to BE Dissolved.
Mr.. Truman recommended dis
solution also of:
The RFC Mortgage Co. 10 depres-
sion-born agency to take mortgages
on real estate when private credit
was lacking).
The Inter american Educational
Foundation.
Tennessee Valley. Associated Co
operatives.
Warrior River Terminal Co.
The latter company would be alb
sorbed by the Inland Waterways
Corp. while the residual functions
of the rubber and mortgage corr
porations would 60 to the Recon-
struction Finance Corp.
Mr.. Truman urged extension OF
the RFC beyond its midyear dead
line under existing law, but stripped
of wartime powers and under or
ders to reimburse the Treasury for
the cost of Treasury funds advanced
to RFC and other Federal corpora
tions. These have enjoyed bargain
rates on their Treasury borrowings,
Charter for RFC.
The new RFC charter to be sub
mitted for congressional approval
will repeal "all powers not required
for peacetime activities" the presi-
Dental message said, and will lop
$4,000, 100000 from RIGS borrow
ing authority. This will not hamper
the agency, since its authority ap-
proximates $18,500, 900 900.
Along with RFC, extension was
recommended for the Commodity
Credit Corp, which buys and sells
to support farm prices; the Export
Import Bank, which makes foreign
loans, and the Virgin Island Co.
which makes rum and cultivates
sugar cane. All are due to expire
June 30.
Most of the $37s, 900, 600 to be
drawn into the Treasury from cor
porations in fiscal rS48 under Mr..
Truman's plan would be in repay
ment Of capital by the Federal De-
posit Insurance Corp, whose re-
sources have grown rapidly and
whose insured banks, the President
said, are in Exceptionally strong
position"
Reserve to Be Repaid.
All the $139, 100000 in capital
loaned to FDIC by the Federal Re-
serve System would be repaid, and
Federal Reserve would pass it on
to the Treasury. In addition $780,
100000 of the $3.50, ,C00, 900 loaned by
the Treasury itself would be handed
back. This still would leave FDIC
with capital and reserves Of $l,00o,-
0OO, 900.
Mr.. Truman recommended that
Congress repeal the authority of
Federal Reserve banks to make di-
rect loans to industry power sell
dom used-releasing $140, 0,000, 900.
These make up the sum of repay
ments dependent on new legislation.
Another 37,000, 900 probably will be
repaid by the Federal Land Banks,

importance Of Stuart
In China Increased BY
Marshall Departure
BY the Associated Press

NANKING, Jan. 10.-American
Ambassador John Leighton Stuart's
importance in China appears to be
increased, rather than lessened as
limited in some quarters. by the de-
parture Of Gen. Marshall to become
Secretary of State.
Mr.. Stuart will continue to head
the Embassy as long as his services
are needed, an ofiicial told the As
sociated Press today.
Mr.. Stuart without doubt has bet
ter connections with both General
issimo Chang .Kai-shek and the
Chinese Communists than any other
foreigner in China. His status with
China's ruling family almost is that
Of a brother. Informed sources
agree he is one of the few foreigners
able to give the generalissimo ad-
vice.
The Communists likewise respect
and trust Mr.. Stuart's judgment and
frequently confer with him.
A suggestion made in Washington
that 1t. Gen. Albert G. Webemeyer

China, might succeed Mr.. Stuart

Terminal Pay Claimed !.
ByApproximafelyH Halt
OF EIiqibIe Veterans

Only about half of the Nations
enlisted men have applied for ter
minal leave pay and only about
ope-fourth of the estimated cost OF
the program has actually been paid,
1t was learned today.
In his budget message to Congress
today, President Truman noted that
applications for the payments have
been considerably smaller than ex-
pected.
He estimated that $1,000, ,0oo, 900
will be paid during 1947. The fol-
lowing year, he added. payments
will drop to about $3.50, ,000, 900.
Funds for the payment are
chalked up against the Army and
Navy. under the budget heading OF
national defense.
Can't Get All in Cash.
Army and Navy officials said the
principal reason for delay In apply
ing for the payments probably Is the
fact veterans know they viii be
able Immediately to spend only a
small part Of the money. Payments
in excess Of $50 are made in bonds,
computed to the nearest unit of
$25 and not cashable for five years,
except when used for Government
insurance payments.
Terminal leave sections of the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps esti-
mate they have a combined total of
about 14,0O0, 900 potential applicants.
To date. about 1856, 900 have applied.
Congress authorized $2,431, ,708, 900
for the program last August.
Spokesman at the War Depart
ment's terminal leave ONCE said
5,740,o00 applications have been re-
ceived. OF these, however, $4,000
have been sent back for corrections.
Army Has Paid 1,645,o00.
A total Of 1895, 900 of the appn-
cations have thus far been paid,
at total cost of about $376, 6,000,-
900, the War Department said. Ap-
tplications from 3,232,0o0 additional
Army veterans are now being pro-
cessed.
Facing an estimated potential to-
tai of 3,500,000 applications. the
Navy has received only 1,633,000
from its former personnel, accord
ing to Commodore William r. Ryan,
fiscal director of the Bureau OF
Supplies and Accounts.
Approximately $259,113,000 has
been paid In bonds and checks on
1,191 1928 claims. it was reported.
1--WE had hoped, when this legisla-
ton was enacted last August, to
have all our applications in by now"
Commodore Ryan declared. He pre-
dicted a deluge of applications be-
fore the September l, 1947. deadline.
All the Nays applications are pro-
cessed through the Great Lakes
Naval Station in Illinois, where ma
chinery is set up to handle 10000
a day, he said.
Navy Average is SILT.
The Navy ofncial said the average
terminal leave payment has been
about $217.
From about 100000 former mem
bers fthe Marine Corps who are
eligible, nearly 100000 applications
have been received. Marine Corps
spokesmen said more than $500 of
the claims have been paid for
value in checks and bonds In excess
of $40,000,000

The CIO conceded that the Wag-

upon employers rather than en-

one -sidedness to the act for that
reason Is silly.
'It would be equally unrealistic to
assert that game laws are one-sided
because they make no provision to
protect the hunter against the birds
which 1le is forbidden to shoot. The
inequality which the act sought to
remedy grew out Of employer inter-

Fruit Juices and the Breakfast"
In recent years there has been
remarkable increase in the use
of fruit juices to start the break
fast, and also the day. Therefore,
the use of oranges. grapefruits,
or tangerines, at the American
table in the marning is now be-
coming standard experience.
and it is well that this custom be
further expanded. Some of the
vitamins act much as gasoline
does in our car They are taken
daily and are used, and then e.
minated. With this in mind. 1t
is necessary to take our daily a
mount of vitamin C in some form
or the other, and no better me-
thod can be suggested than that
of a morning glass of citrus
juice, either fresh or canned. In
suggesting the canned type, mere
ly on account Of speed Of handl-
ing it is wise to remember that
In recent years a great advance
has been made in keeping the Wit

Now. the loss is very small. If

note that the vitamin c is gone;

quently there.
Orange Juice is the richest nat
ural source of vitamin c, but
there should be no mistake that
there are others such as grape
fruit juice, tomato Juice. ard
many of the fresh vegetables, es-
pecially those members of the
cabbage family. Our growing gen
Grafton seems to need this vita
min as there are many minor in
dications of slight degrees of
scurvy among young children.
If the family does not include
citrus fruits, juices, and vegeta-
bles in fairly adequate amounts
in their children's diets, the tea
cher might strive to include
some form or another in the
school lunch program.
Sometimes canned orange or
grapefruit Juice taste slightly
flat. To remedy this, pour the
juice backwards and forwards so
as to entrap some air. This
brings back the sparkle to the
Juice. Another method is Of add
ing a small amount of carbonat-
ed water.
