The Veterans Administration
has stepped up it's program to
collect from private hospitaliza-
ton fiance systems for the treat
ment of former service personnel
for non-service connected illness,
it was disclosed today.
Under the new instructions sent
out, the Veterans Administration
expects to collect in excess of SO
million this year. The organiza-
tions in which veterans have in
surance will be sent itemized bills
under the same system used in
private hospitals. Heretofore,
these organizations have been only
billed for room and board at the
rate of SLIPS day.
The administration between
July l, 1949, and last June 80
collected $1,580.965, out of a total
billing of $4,372,674. The VA will
not collect the total amount of
all billings, but submits the state
ments in detail so that the in
Surance companies can determine
for what items it is required to
pay under its contract. Of the
total amount collected, $469, GOO

Civil Defense CoIIeqe
Near 0Iney Approved

The House Armed Services
Committee has approved a plan
of the Civil Defense Administra-
ton to set up it's national staff
college at the Longwood School,
near Olney, Md.
The committee also has ap-
proved taking over the Gelmarc
Towers apartments at 1880 Co.
lumbia road NV. by CDA for use
as temporary headquarters until
IA site can be found outside the
city
The action wound up an inves-
tigation during which members of
the committee sharply questioned
the proposals. Chairman VinSon
'of Georgia at the outset declared
himself in favor of removing the
agency from Washington alto
gether and relocating it in mid
western city.
This plan was dropped after
Civil Defense Administrator Mil
lard F. Caldwell, jr., testified the
agency could not function effec-
lively elsewhere. He also argued
that the Longwood School was
the only suitable site for his staff
college turned up by the General
Services Administration. The
college, he said, is scheduled to
open early in April.

VA Steps Up Efforts to Get Hospital Bills of Privately Insured

cieS for treatments under the
Employees Compensation Act. This
latter amount is returned directly
to the hospital operating fund.
The other collections go to the
credit of the Veterans Admin
istration general fund, but can
be allocated by that organization
to it's disqualification program.
Mount Alto Veterans Hospital
in the calendar year, 1850, COL
lected $3,757 out of a total billing
of $20,076 in 80 cases. In eight
cases the billings were cancelled
because the veterans had not COM
piled with the waiting period con-
tained in their contracts.
Any amount received from the
insurer is considered full payment
of the bill. For instance, if the
total charge for treatment of a
veteran should amount to $1,000,
receipt of payment of any amount
less than that from the insurer is
in full. While there has been
some resistance to payments by
certain companies having such

Speedier Mail for PWs

BY the Assoeioted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. IA
The Chinese Communists said
yesterday arrangements had been
made to forward mail to and
from Allied prisoners of war held
in Korea.
A broadcast from Peiping heard
by the Associated Press in San
Francisco said the mail would be
handled through the Chinese
Peoples Committee for World
Peace and Against American Ag-
gression." This seems to be a
new propaganda committee.
The offer, however, had a hitch
in it. 1t gave no clue as to how
letters to prisoners of war should
be addressed, or where they
should be sent.
The broadcast said the COM
mittee had arranged with

Big Four No Nearer
To Agreement After
Korea Is Brought Up
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Mar. 14.-The Big Four
deputies meet again today, ap-
parently no closer to an agreement
Oh what should be discussed at a
Foreign Ministers Conference.
There also was no indication this
get-together will narrow the gulf
dividing them.
The United States British
French bloc and the Russians
seemed to be waiting for each
other to come up with some propo-
sition to move the meeting a small
step toward agreement.
West Seeks General Talks.
The Westerners still insisted
that the Foreign Ministers must
discuss causes, in general, of in
ternational tension. The Soviets
held out for German delnilitariza-
tion and prevention of German
remilitarization as point No. l.
Each side said its agenda-as
offered-could include the others

Yesteday's meeting of the dep
uties did provide an introduction

Korean question into the talks.
French Representative Alexandra
Parodi told Soviet Deputy For
eign Minister Andrei Gromyko
the North Korean attack last
June had made his country as
sumo "a great ornaments bur-
den and not with a light heart"
Brought on by Fear of Soviet.
Mr.. Parodi added that France
did not look lightheartedly on the
rearming of Western Germany,
but all this is brought on by a
great fear of the Soviet Union"
Mr.. Gromyko replied that the
Soviet Union and the peoples
democracies" stand for peace.
while the "warmongers" of the
West are frightening the world
with huge arms programs.
United States Delegate Philip
Jessup described the situation
thus:
THE West says the causes of
world tension are "A and b.
Russia says the causes are c.
and d.. Mr.. Gromyko says "A
and B are false and therefore
they should not be discussed. He
says C. and d are not false and

u. ). Retirement Bill
Increases Pre-1948
Annuities by $3.50

A Senate Civil Service subcom-
mittee considering legislation to
liberalize the Governments retire
ment system was told today by the
Governments retirement chief
that the bill would give virtually
all persons retired from the Gov
ernment before April l, 1948, a
fiat $3.50 annuity increase.
Warren Irons, the Civil Service
CommisSion's retirement chief,
said the bill would boost the av-
erage annuity of pre-1948 annui-
tants from $1,233 to $1,593.
For those retired since April l,
1948, the average annuity would
be increased from $1,405 to a new
$1,645, Irons said.
The bill provides a fiat $120 in
crease for present annuitants,
with an additional Sc for each
month the employe had been re-
tired. A maximum increase of
$3.50 is allowed and annuitants
now receiving more than $2,400 a
year would not receive an in
crease.
The bill also liberalizes sur
vivorship insurance benefits for
the families of Government en-
ployes who die in Federal service.
In addition, it would increase the
annuitieS of present employees on
their retirement, providing that
they now do not earn more than
$4,000 a year.
Representatives of various Gov
ernment employe groups testified
in support of the bill today. They
suggested, however, that the
measure be liberalized to allow an
nuity increases to those retired
employees now drawing more than
$4,000 a year as we'll as increas-
ing the eventual annuitieS of
present workers now earning more
than $4,000 year.
The bill is co-sponsored by
Senators Johnston of South Caro-
lima. Smathers of Florida, Glenn
ents of Kentucky, Democrats, and

Some converters may cost as

BY that time, manufacturers
say, they may have sets with built

Maryland Senate Backs
Tax on Virginia Trucks
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 24.-The
Maryland Senate has tentatively
approved a plan which might lead
to a deal with Virginia over gaso-
line taxes collected on trucks.
Virginia now charges out-of-
State trucks mileage tax on the
gasoline they use just as if it were
bought in the State.
The Maryland Senate's bill
would charge the same tax against
trucks of all other States which
have such levies. Virginia is the
only one nearby.
The admitted effect of the bill
would be for Maryland and Vir-
Iginia to make a trade-you don't
tax our trucks and we won't tax
yours.
The Senate beat off an attempt
to make the measure cover trucks
from all States and then sent il
along for final action today.

Democrats Support
Non Partisan Vote Of
Montgomey.CounciI

The Democratic State Central
COMMITTEE for Montgomery
County favors non-partisan cleo
tons of County Council members
provided they are held on other
than regular Statewide election
dates. Committee Chairman War
rem Browning said today.
At the same time, he charged
that the opposition of Allen
Gardner, Charter Committee
leader, to separate council cleo
tons sis not only designed to pre-
vent the voters from deciding this
issue for themselves, but is en-
ltirely inconsistent with the prin-
ciples of non-partisan elections.
A proposed constitutional
amendment calling for separate
nom partisan council elections was
defeated in the Maryland Senate
last Wednesday. According to Mr.
Browning, the deciding vote
against the proposal was cast by
Senator De Witt S. Hyde, Repub-
lican, of Montgomery County.
Delegates Reject Bill.
On the same day, the House of
delegates turned down a bill
which would have cleared the way
flor election of council members
without party labels.
In support of the Democratic
Committees stand in favor OF
separate dates for non-partisan
elections, Mr.. Browning cited a
statement by the National Munic-
Iipal League. The statement, re-
vealed recently by Mrs. Lillian
McNish, Chevy Chase, said:
County government has been
bedeviled to an unusual degree
by national party politics. All toe
often. the voters have gone to the
polls and elected sheriffs, coroners
and county commissioner on the
basis of national issues and ma
| tional party labels.
Election on Local Issues.
eff any considerable improve
ment in county government is to
be achieved, county candidates
must be deprived of the opportu-
nifty to ride into Office on the tai
! of the national party ticket ano
be forced to stand for election or
local issues and their own merits
This necessitates the separation
of county elections from State
and national elections and the
adoption of the non-partisan bal
lot to remove the party label,
which act as binders to discrimi-
mating local voting
Mr.. Browning also quoted ths
league as saying, 1T is, of course
theoretically possible to conduct

are many obvious disadvantage.
