times during the week 4 Greek

HE is lucky II he has meat

from time to time vegetables, al
though these are scarce on farms.

Educated Greeks in recent years
have found jobs in the government

MOVE 70 CUT VETERANS WASTE

House Appropriations subcommittee recently NOV
ed to cut $500 Veterans compensation
payments Whether this cut will survive the long haul
through both houses Of Congress unceran though we
highly commend the action
The committee acted after is staff reported that
many compensation and pension payments to veterans
amounted to axree gifts the benefciares where the
veteran had no serviceconnected disability whatever"
The staff also recommended thirty percent reduction in
nonservce pension cases proposed limit on combined
payments from al Federal sources elimination Of many Of
the partial servcecOnnected disability pensions and adj
vocated review Of preseice medical history for many
compensation cases.
As the reader probably knows the compensation and
pension payment racket in the veterans program has
grown TO considerable proportions and Is the method
through which undeservng veterans are drawing
much IS several hundred dollars month from the Gov
eminent Many veterans who are able to I'LL fume jobs
and thus earn good living and profits are s drawing
high monthly compensation payments for fifty seventy
five Or ninety percent disability Many Of these lush pen
sons to veterans who combat and who were
granted pension for medical conditions which have either
cleared up which existed when they entered military
service.
IN view Of these facts the House subcommittee ac-
ton long overdue and hope that It is translated into
law IS the first step in cutting the fantastic waste
which has become racket in the veterans compensation
and pension payment program.
