Yet the number |of disabled veterans of this war Who lare out of service and receiving |sorvice-connected disability = pay- | ments (call it “pension” if you will) lalready considerably exceeds the number from the World War. I den’t like to quote a lot of figures but, just to give you a glimpse of what the Veterans’ Administration |is up against, take a slant at the following information, made public by General Hines, Administrator of Veterans' Affairs.

Ycu've noticed that the little chart shows a leap from 1451 Na- tienal Service Life Insurance Death Serving Again On Every Front . . . The Salvation Army is ministering to both the physical and spiritual needs of those who fight for FREEDOM and PEACE in this Global War. Claims in one month (Feb. 1943) 119 in the same month two years later (Feb. 1945). That means there'll be delays in settling death cases covered by insurance. Thers |have been many already. Why, it |takes an average of 37 days before ithe V. A. is even officially notified p 1of a death! | For severai iagiiis, officials have | been worrying about the growing in- | surance death claim problem and the | Veterans' Administration hospitali- zation program. Other - services { within the V. A. aren’t too bad, al- though still too slow. Of ' cou there’s the never-ending “system the seeming red tape of government cutfits. I feel the same way all you veterans feel. An ex-service man I know put it this way: “Wren T was in the army, I waited. I lined up for shots, linad up for chow, lined up and walted 1cr inspection, waited for clothes, pay, barracks inspection, physical cxams,—even for the latrine. When I wasnt’' waiting for somethings, I was filling out forms and question- naires for this and that.. So I teld mycalf that when I got out of the serivice, no more waiting. And no mcere forms—'cept, of course, wo- men’s. But out of the service, it's Just the same. TI've seen guys wait- ing for job referrals at the USES,' waiting to get their insurance re- cords straightened out, waiting to put in a claim for unemployment pay, waiting to find out if they g°t to go to schocl some place. Wafl.-; Ard all the time they're filling cut forms and applications!
