U. 5. Fire Loss In January
Reported as $56,926,000
~ the Assoeiosed Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The
Nations fire loss totaled $50, 1885,
900 in January. 81 per cent under
the same month last year, the Ma
tional Board Of Fire Underwriters
reports.
The mild weather along the
Eastern seaboard and In the
Southern States may have kept
the loss down because Of less need
for forced operation Of stoves and
furnaces, the board said.
The January losses were 16.5 per
cent under December's total Of
$50 ,397 900, the board reported.

Wainwright, now 65. has. twice
received the Distinguished Serv-

coveted of all, the Congressional
Medal of Honor.
A packed committee room heard
him the other day ask the House
Veterans Committee to do some
thing about the DAVIS legislative
program this year. He read q
long statement and then other
members Of DAV answered ques-
tions.
He told the committee that the
DAV is primarily a single-pur-
pose organization dedicated to
serving the service connected dis
abled veteran" He then outlined
briefly four major points Of q
program which the. DAV wants
written into law:
/. Bring about as nearly as pos
sible q complete reconstruction
for those disabled veterans who
can possibly recover with proper
medical and hospital care.
2. Continue the care of those
who can never recover.
8. Provide ample compensation

for disabled veterans to support
themselves and their families
under present high cost Of living
conditions.
4. Improve the housing condi-
tions Of all veterans. especially the
disabled. Here, Gen. Wainwright
added. "those conditions are in
many places terrible"
Here's how the DAv proposes
to carry out this program, at least
in part:
l. Raise all compensations and
pensions a fiat rs per cent. (The
American Veterans Of World War
II-Amvets-want this too, but
they go a little further. They
want compensation and pension
to rise and fall with the cost Of
living.)
2. Amend Public Law 877 Of the
last Congress 50 that all veterans
with 10 per cent or more disabil-
ity ratings will get extra amounts
for dependents. P. L. 877 allows
special payments only for those
veterans Yho have ct least 80
per cent disabilities.
8. Give the VA ample appro-
priations" so it can function at q
high level Of efficiency"
Gen. wainwright didn't say
where or how the VA is inefficient
but apparently the DAV thinks
it could operate better. (Carl r.
Gray, VA boss, recently put out
an order abolishing all branch
Offices. He said he believes the
move will increase efficiency in
operations.")
4. Awarding 10 per cent disabil-
ity ratings to all veterans who re-
ceived "gunshot wounds" no mat
ter how slight, In combat and
who aren't drawing compensa-
ton today.
5. Raising the annual income
limitations on pension and COM
pensation. (For instance, a
World War I widow with no de-
pendents is entitled to pension
only If her annual income is 81
900 or less) All veterans organ
izations are backing this.
Here's one other DAV proposal,
and it's a brand new one as far as
I know:
DAV wants the CT Bill amended
50 that readjustment allowances
will be payable UP to July rs,
1854. AS it stands now. prac-
tically no veteran will be able to
draw . weekly unemployment
check under the CT Bill after this
coming July Is.
