Robert Thomas of Richmond, against ‘whom the Veterans' Bureau had moved, in attempting to have him removed as “committee” for George Brooks, Negro, was a former regional attorney of the Veterans' Bureau, according to Maj. William Wolff Smith, general counsel of the bureau. When Thomas resigned, according to Maj. Smith, he went into private practice and became “commit- tee” for veterans with large estates. The bureau decided not to turn over money to him, and has taken court steps to have him removed as “commit- tee.” Final decision by the court in this removal proceeding has not been taken, Thomas filed several damage suits against various officials of the Veterans’ Bureau, and so far, according to offi- clals here, decisions rendered by the courts in these damage suits have found the officers not gullty as regards their official actions.
