Com- Supporting President Hoover's plan to consolidate all Federal war-relief agen- cles, William J. Murphy, national com- mander of the Disapled American Vet- erans, today indorsed the proposal in a statement. “In view.of the confusing conditions,” he said, “the Disabled American Vet- | erans feel that all veterans and the Government itself would profit by the President’s pian. In our- opinfon the ccming session of Congress should lose no time in enacting any legislation that may be necessary to authorize the con- solidation. “Immediately after the armistice the disabled were shunted between the Bu- reau of War Risk Insurance, the Fed- eral Board for Vocational Education and the United States Public Health Service. President Harding wisely brought the agencies doing with v.he ‘World War men under one head, and we feel that if President Hoover will go further and place the Pension Bureau and the national homes for disabled volunteer soldiers in the Veterans' Bu- reau the service will be better for all and the actual cost less. “Many World War men were veterans of earlier wars and expeditions or were in_the regular military cr naval estab- lishments, so they have had relations with both the Pension Bureau and the Veterans' Bureau, whilo hundreds of those who served in the World War and are beneficiaries of the Veterans' Bu- reau are hospitalized in the national Builders 0. many makes of fine radio sets recom- mend RCA Radiotrons as tubes that have no superior for fine reception.

State surveys reveal the larger citics are oversupplied with doctors, Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Inte- rior, reported today at the semi-annusal conference of the committee on the cost of medical care. ‘The meeting, held in the Mayflower Hotel, was attended by some 50 persons prominent in medicine, dentistry, nurs- ing, public health and economics. Sec- retary Wilbur, chairman of the com- mittee, sald commendable progress haod been made in the past two years in studying problems underlying the pro- vision of adequate medical care for the rpopulace. “‘A body of facts in certain directions sufficient to begin to draw conclusions has been accumulated,” Wilbur de- “We can now examine avail- able facts, section by section, fitting them together, piece by plece, like a mosaic.” Data on Three Reports. ‘The data to which Wilbur referred is contained in three reports issued by the committee. These include one on the extent of {llness and of physical and mental d:fects prevailing in the United States. This survey indicates that the 36,000,000 wage earners in the United States lose at least 250,000,000 work days per yaer and the 24,000,000 school children 7,000,000 days per school year. Men"are, on the average, sick at least onceé a year, women and children some- what oftener. Almost a million and a half persons are employed in the United States in connection with the care and preven- tion of iliness, according to the second report, which is a survey of statistical data on medical facilities in the United States. Although there are in the United States more physicians per 100,000 people than in any other country of the world, their geographical di-tri- bution, as well as rhe distribution of dentists. nurses and other agents for the care of the sick, is very uneven. Various State surveys show clearly that the Jarger citles are over-supplied with doctors relative to population, whereas smaller towns and rural districts are that he acted in self defense. o Americans living in Paris now num- ber 26,000.
