Congressrnen Flay State Dept. Hand ling of Ward Case

WASHINGTON, R)-The state department's handling of the An gue Ward case was under severe Republican attack today, with five lawmakers demanding the immediate firing of responsible officials "both high and low"
 The Congressmen, all members of the House Foreign Affairs Com mittee, issued a joint statement yesterday blasting the department for its "spineless performance" in trying to get the U. s. consul gen. eral freed from Chinese Com munist jail in Mukden.
 The angry lawmakers called it Ion of the most humiliating chap ters in American diplomatic his tory" and declared that "the loss of face by the United States is be- yond calculation"
 Inc of the House members, Rep. Judd of Minnesota, told report CT the United States should have tried military action" in the Ward case instead of 'ignominous- Iy soaking off the battlefield"
 Besides Judd. the statement was signed by Reps. Chiperfield of Illinois, Vorys of Ohio, Lawrence H. Smith of Wisconsin, and Jack son of California.
 It bristled with phrases like unbelievable bungling" and "mis- handling" and said the depart ment's failure to take firm ac- ton" is a "by-product of the in credibly botched China policy which our government has pursued for the last four years"
 The statement reserved particu- lar criticism for secretary of state Acheson's appeal to 30 nations including Russia for assistance in the Ward case.

Mother Glad To Be Re.United With Deserted Baby

PASCO, Wash. (P)-- Startled garbagemen found a baby boy "blue as a bottle of ink"-buried half way down in a refuse can be- hind the city police building early yesterday.
 The infant let out a yell and the garbagemen rushed their problem" to Police Sgt. Glenn StickleS.
 Postponing his Thanksgiving dinner, Stickles set to work.
 He found that two couples from nearby Richland had gone to a movie about a half-block from the station the previous night. One of the women has complained of ill., ness, left the theater and subse- quently was reported as missing by the other couple before show ing up at home early Thursday.
 WSHL OuL tllcIe dllu SlO"IJ drew the story from her," Stickles recalled. "I took her to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital and the doc tor ordered her to bed.
 "The child already was in the hospital and is kicking and crying healthily. guess the young mother is pretty happy now that they're together. She was certain ly pretty upset"
 Sickles said the mother, 18 years old and unwed, came to the tri-cities Pasco-Richland-Kenne- wick) area about three weeks ago from the Puget Sound area in western Washington. After leav- ing the theater she had given birth to the child in an empty taxicab in a vacant lot behind the police station. Then she had de- posted the baby in the garbage can and headed back for Richland where she lived with a girl friend.

Although all persons who feel

two general requirements must US

That the veteran was disabled by
a disease or injury incurred in OF
aggravated by peacetime service;
and az that the veteran was dis
charged under conditions other than
dishonorable
Monetary rates of compensation,
such as disability compensation or
death benefits, usually are lower
than those provided under the law
for wartime military service, the
VA said.
Among the VA benefits for which
veterans or dependents of veterans
with peacetime service only may
qualify are: Medical and domiciliary
cure, disability compensation, spec
lai homes for paraplegics, VA
