VA Hospital Program

Medical Leader SAYS
BY the Asseeio,sd Pres.

MIAMI. Fla, Nov. 10-The Vet
erans' Administration is making
sinister inroads" on the Ameri-
can economic structure through
its hospital program, a medical
leader charged today.
DR.. r. j. Wilkinson, Huntington.
w. Va. president Of the Southern
Medical Association-the worlds
second largest organization of
doctors-declared in an address
prepared for the SMA's 46th an
nual meeting:
More and more VA hospitals
are being erected each year at q
staggering cost to the taxpayer,
Notwithstanding the tragic and
glaring fact that many of them
are only partly filled. and then
only by veterans who are not
rightfully entitled to this service" I"
Doubts Needs Of Many.
He said. without amplif1cation,
that "it is reported that approx
mately 80 per cent of those treated
have non-service-connected dis
abilities, and many of these prob
ably do not need disqualification"
"A careful study might reveal
the startling fact" DR.. Wilkinson
added, "that many of those who
are admitted are encouraged toI
be dishonest by falsifying their ap-
plication in claiming pauper-
ism ."
(VA regulations provide that
any veteran with a non-serv-
ice-connected ailment can OBJ
tain free hospitalization-if
space" is available and if he
states that he is unable to pay.)
Plan Suggested.
Declaring that the disabled vet
eran with service-connected dis
ability should be given "the finest
type OF medical and nursing care,"I
the doctor suggested that all VA
hospitals near medical schools
should be devoted exclusively toI
such patients.
The remaining hospitals. and

should be given to the States.
counties, or cities, provided thew
are operated for the care of theI
sick. be they mental, tubercular
or public general hospitals.
"A plan of this kind would
largely solve the hospital bed
shortage that exists in practically
every State in the union, !"
DR.. Wilkinson said he was
shocked and amazed" at the
hands off attitude" of the Ameri-
can Medical Association toward
the Veterans Administration hos
pital program.
I have been repeatedly told by
high ranking officers of this great
organization" he said, that wei
must adopt policy of status uuo'I
because Of the American Legion'sI
attitude in helping defeat the

That bill would have provided

442nd Film Wins

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Jan.19
-MGM's stirring record of the 442
Combat Team, Go for Broke!'
was named last weekend as one of
Hollywood's ten best films OF 1851"
by William Hogan, movie critic OF
the San Francisco Chronicle.
Said Hogan
"A rousing tribute to the eX-
tremely efficient 442nd Regimental
Combat Team, made up of Japa-
nese American soldiers, who had
to fight racial prejudice in the Ar
my as much as they did the Wehr-

Don't Let a Slip
Put an End to rip
Is Patrol AdUice

Don't let slip put an end to
your trip!"
That advice is given by the Wash
ington State Patrol in urging mo-
florists to be extra cautious of win
ter driving hazards.
Last January. five persons were
killed in Washington after their
vehicles skidded off the highways,
and 1874 other persons were injur-
ed in such accidents.
THE danger of slippery, icy
roads cannot be overestimated,'
Chief James A Pryde said. Some
form of unfavorable road surface
snow, ice, mud. or rain was
found in one out of every five ia
tai winter traffic accidents that
occurred last winter
Chief Pryde cited caution and
tire chains as the best combina-
ton for foiling slick surface con-
ditions. Under severe ice and snow
conditions, tire chains will reduce
passenger car and truck braKing
distances by as much as 40 to 10
per cent.
while neither common sense in
driving, nor the use of tire chains,
are infallible in preventing sliding"
Chief Pryde said, they team up
to make the best protection that's
yet been devised"

trolls to be reserved for the predo-
minantly civilian commission.
1.-THE American Legion will re-
fleet the will of the American peo-
pie in demanding early passage of

said, adding:
1.-The bill to be presented, has
been drafted after careful study
by The American Legion's National
Security Commission to effect a
universal military training program
which will bolster our national de-
Tense, forewarn would-be aggressors,
