Homes For Parplegics

Some 1900 paralyzed war vet
Grams in the United States have been
certified as eligible to receive fed
eral grants to help them acquire

Grants cannot exceed 10000
Eligible to receive the grants are
those veterans paralyzed due to ser

The homes incorporate special
features such as ramps, instead of
stops, doorways wide enough to ac-
.commodate a wheelchair, special
bathroom fixtures, and exercise
rooms equipped in accordance with
the needs of the patient
The veteran can utilize his grant
in several ways. He may buy a lot
and build a home on it, remodel
his present home to suit his needs
or apply the grant against mort
gage Indebtedness if he already has
4 suitable home
The VA, in addition to providing
the housing grant, supplies model
plans, specifications and blueprints,
which the veteran may use if he
wishes.

ly to the VA regional office in their

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-A gov
ernment prosecutor has started
digging into a mountain of evi-
dence piled up by counsel for
II top Communist leaders in their
WeekS-long attack on the Federal
jury system here.
United States Attorney John
F. x. McGohey induced the chief
defense witness to admit yester-
day that he could remember the
names of only a few of the three

ness said had prepared volumi-
nous exhibits.

here discriminates against poor
people. women, manual laborers
Jews, Negroes and members oi
other minorities, and favors the
rich.
