[ A P 0o WASHINGTON—Up recently, General Omar Bradley who took over direction of the Veterans' Ad- mir ation in August wisely has n saying little for publication My impression is that, whenever he has to talk, he says he believes in giving disabled vet 1s all help pessible and that he doesn’t believe the other ex-service men are going to need much help because they're doggone good men and can take care of themselves. That’s a good way to fill in until the General gets hold of his job in the VA. One thing you've noticed is he never goes into a long commer- cial about himself But to show you what kind of man General Bradley is, let me turn to a hurried message he sent to employes of the Veterans' Administration the day he took over the VA—the day after Japan said it would quit. Here are the words which indicate how the General feels about us vet- erans to “Today, I have of Administrator been engaged by administer laws benefits and veterans. These veterans have served their country faithfully; in many cases with severe hardship and pain. They have fought that we might continue to live as free men. We must see y receive every benefit our Government has granted them. I expect each of you to do your ‘best every day just as our soldiers, sail- ors and marines continued—almost beyond human endurance—to ac- complish the missions assigned them ‘Frankly, this work is new to me I will learn the job as quick pessible. I am greatly c with the lot of our veterans personal knowledge of what have done. I will do everything can to see they receive pro every benefit, help and opportu which they are entitled.

NIAL long quotes because you vets are sure to read long quotes with rapt inattention. But I ought to give you a few more things said by General Bradley in a casual, unprepared talk to seven thousand employees of the Washingten office of the VA. Tk I think you'll think, are the words of a genuine and humble person: “All of us are interested in service to the veterans. This is a service which the veterans have earned by sweat and blood. It is not charity service. Our Government has recog- nized that service by providing cer- tain benefits to which veterans are entitled. You and I are privileged to be able to render them that service. “Some of you come in personal contact with these veterans; that is particularly true of our people in the field. Some of you never see them; your contact is entirely by papers and records. In either case, let us make that service a real and person- al one to these deserving men. They have it coming to them “I am very new on this job. It is different from any work I have ever done Lefore, although not entirely different since every job carries cer- tain administrative duties with it.| At least it involves a new set of laws 1 a new set of procedures. ‘I will probably appear rathér ig-| norant on details of some of these laws and procedures for some, time. I hope you will bear with me for I am depending on you to help me| carry on.” ... DIVORCE FILED Margueritte Marshall, Juneau, has filed an action for divorce with the Clerk of the U. S.

He particularly exhorted war wi- dows to answer the militant call for their energies resulting from “new needs created by the entry of wo- men into civil and political life.” The Pope foresaw a particularly important position for women in| “those matters which call for the delicacy of maternal instinct rather than administrative rigidity.” TWINS ARE BORN T0 FORMER JUNEAU GIRL ‘Twins, a boy and a girl, were born yesterday to Mr. and Mrs. Jay Adams in the Swedish hospital, Se-| attle, according to a radiogram re- ceived by Chester Zimmerman of the First National Bank.

Due to the present shortage of film and very limited supply avail- lof Health, and in kzeping with the request of the United S Public Health Service, tuberculosis surveys will not be conducted at this time. It is the sincere desire of the Com- that selected survey methods be resumed as soon as possible, and further announc ments will be made immediately when conditions make such surve; possible and advisable. Distribution Of X-Rays The X-ray film made available to | the Territorial Department of Health 'up to June, 1945, has been allocated to the Communities on as equitable a basis as possible. Allocation is bas- ed on population and known com- munity needs. Each community will 'be advised as to its allotment. It is |requested that these films be used: | 1. For the necessary follow-up of !known cases to determine the status |of disease. | 2. For the examination of tubercu- |losis suspec | 3. For the examination of contacts of dctive cases of tuberculosis. | 4. Teen-age groups, especially those in high school with positive tuberculin tests (previously nega- tive) who have never been X-rayed. 5. Food-handlers, if tubercul suspects or contacts. It is hoped that routine X-ray of all food-handlers will soon be possible. The areas served by the Central Office in Juneau will receive their X-ray allotments from the Central Office and the areas served by the Branch Office in Anchorage will receive their allotments from the Branch Office. All requests for X- rays should be made through the if no Territorial nurse lin that area, requests may be made [either to the Branch Office or the Central Office X-Ray Interpretation All films will be read by an exper- ienced interpreter or tuberculosis consultant employed by, or in the service of the Territorial Department of Health, Physicians may utilize the services of the interpreter or tuber- culosis consultant in the interpre- tations of films of private patients lat no cost to the individual or phy- sician.
