Veterans of Great War Disabled American Veterans. ‘The supreme legislative effort of the Disabled American Veterans in the im- mediate future is to be made to bring about ths enactment of the Rogers bill calling for hospital construction to the extent of about 3,500 beds at a cost of more than $11,000,000. Having accom- plished this, the D. A. V. will then con- centrate upon endeavoring to have Con- | gress map its future hospital construc- tion on the basis of non-service con- nected cases rather than upon service connected cases alone, in order that there may be ample facilities in the future to care for all disabled World ‘War men. ‘This plan was outlined by William J. Murphy of California, new national commander of the D, A. V.. during his visit to Washington during the past week. Aside from the city of his birth — Boston — Wash- ington was ths first city in which the newly elected leader stopped since his choice at De- troit two weeks ago at the ninth national conven- tion, but he wired ahead that under no condition would he accep’ any so- cial engagements. He was determined to devote himself entirely to business and, as a result, plans that were W. J. Murphy being prepared to give him a dinne by | the District of Columbia Departnient of the organization were dropped. Comdr. Murphy plans to return here ! in about two months after he has spent some time at his home in Santa Ana, | and he will then be formally received by the tour chapters here. | Practically all of his time in Wash- ington was devoted to conferences either in the Washington office of the D. A. V. or at the Veterans’ Bureau, where he met a number of the ranking officials. In his meeting with Gen. Hines, Comdr. Murphy assured the director that it would be the firm purpose of his administration to endeavor to co-operate to the utmost with the Veterans' Bu- reau, but that it was to be expected that the two agencies could hardly always be | expected to be in full agreement on all matters of policy or individual claims. Comdr. Murphy said that his recent trip, that had carried him from Cali- fornia to Massachusetts, had convinced him that the most pressing need in matters of relief for the disabled was to obtain more accommodations for the treatment of the mentally disabled men. He declared that he found practically all the Government institutions crowd- ed and that even should Congress pass the Rogers bill before adjournment it would be considerably more than two | years before the places would be avail- able. hopes for some action on the building measure as soon as Congress returns from the present recess. Comdr. Murphy announced he would make no changes in the staff of the Washington office of the D. A. V., which handles all relations between the organ- ization and Congress and the Veterans’ Bureau, but upon his return to national headquarters at Cincinnati vlanned to| endeavor to get even more personnel to | meet the heavy load of work that is| constantly being added to in this city. The decision of the Veterans' Bureau to endeavor to clear up the whole mat- | ter of the retirement of permanently | disabled emergency officers during the | next 60 days, it is declared, has added | a further problem to the D. A. V. here, the organization devoting part of its| liaison service almost entirely to this work. { Under the Tyson-Fitzgerald bill ap-| plications for retirement had to be filed before May 25, and while less than 5,000 former officers have thus far been | proven eligible for these benefits, Gen. | Hines hopes to have all pending claims | acted upon before the middle of Sep- | tember. Due to the vacation period, the Dis-| trict of Columbia executive committee of the D. A. V. voted at its meeting last week to postpone the systematic | canvass for new members until early in | the Fall. In the meantime State Comdr. Claude Babcock and his committee are at work on plans, and it is hoped that in Sep-| tember members will start out on a| campaign that will put them personally | in contact with practically every dis- | abled World War man in Washington, as well as those who are temporarily | here undergoing treatment in the Gov- ernment hospitals. ‘While the sudden death of Dr. E. O. Crossman, medical director, has left a| vacancy in one of the highest offices in the Veterans' Bureau and the D. A. V. Fisk. has been urged to support several can- | didates for the post, Comdr. Murphy last week assured Director Hines that the D. A. V. would not interfere in any way in selecting the new man. 1t is known that there are under con- sideration half a dozen names, and while the D. A. V. asked that it be al- lowed to express any possible objections to any one who might be tentatively selected, the organization, according to the commander, feels that Gen. Hines should have a free hand in naming the | one to fill the place of such vital im- portance to all disabled men. Blue Ridge Division. A reunion of the World War 80th (Blue Ridge) Division will be held here August 18-21. The veterans' organiza- tions in Virginia, Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, the States from ‘which the division was recruited during the war, are planning to send the great- est number of ex-soldiers to Washing- ton for the event. A special train prob- ably will be engaged by the Pittsburgh contingent. ‘The Washington committee in charge of the reunion, of which Lieut. Col. Ashby Williams, formerly with the 320th Infantry, is chairman, has completed preliminary arrangements for the re- union. A program has been adopted which will open in Arlington Cemetery August 18 at 4:30 pm. Wreaths will be placed on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and on the grave of Brig. Gen. Llovd M. Brett, who commanded the division’s 160th Infantry Brigade dur- ing the war. Gen. Brett was serving as adjutant general of the District tional Guard when he died here two years ago. A business meeting will be held the morning of August 19, followed by a boat ride to Mount Vernon, and thati evening there will be a ball at the Ralelgh Hotel, in arrangements for which the local posts and auxiliary of the American Legion are now participating. The following day the veterans will be received at the White House by Presi- dent Hoover, but by unanimous vote the committee in charge has decided for- mally to go on record as expressly be- ing opposed to “any handshaking.” It is expected the President will pose with For that reason the organization | tertainment; Col.

The purpose of the excursion was to procure funds with which to send the Victory and | Costello drum corps to the eleventh an- i nual national convention at Louisville, Ky., this Fall.

Gen. Eli K. Cole, com- mander of the Department of the Pa- cific (Marine Corps), is as yet an un- solved one, and it is generally believed in well informed circles that the ap- pointment will be made by selection from among the following three out- standing brigadier generals of the corps, Smedley D. Butler, Logan Feland and John H. Ruseell. Should pending recommended legislation pass Congress upon its reconvening, the appointment of another major general of the line of the corps will have been authorized thereby, ‘and upon the voluntary retire- ment of Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, which occurs in October, yet a third vacancy will have been created, and it is generally surmised that no inkling as to who will be selected to fill these vacancies will have been made until the actual announcement of the appoint- ment has been made by the depart- ment upon the authority of the Wite Brig.
