In a statement sent last week to all House members, the AMA Washington office said it questions tions bill which has to do with ailments not connected with mili- tary ‘service. The statement said the provision would require a check of a ve- teran’s ability to pay for hospital- ization, after which the VA would try to collect whatever part of the hospital bill the veteran was deem- ed able to pay. While not opposing a financial in- vestigation, the AMA said the pro- vision in effect “would encourage millions more veterans to apply for VA hospitalization as a matter of right.” Safety | Notes By BILL GIBB Cold facts - AND COLD BODIES- room forever, he says.

Bushnell, where he has been working in the ship's personnel office. Chapter 6 NSPECTOR CARLTON’S face was cola. With the exception of} State’s Attorney Gilmore, Mandell | didn’t recognize any of the other men in the office. A soft-spoken man, with hair the color of rusty iron, seemed to be in charge. He indicated a chair. “Sit down, Mandell.” Mandell sat in the chair. All the men in the office looked tired. In- spector Carlton and the State’s at- torney looked angry. No one spoke for a moment. Then . white-haired man laid down the ciger he was smoking and stood in front of Mandell. “How do you intend to a Mandell? Guilty or not guilty?” “This i. a court?” Mandell asked. “I’m being tried at five o'clock in the morning” The red-haired man gaid “Let's call it an informal hear.ng, Bar- ney. And don’t worry about your rights. They’re being well pro- tected.” “Who are you?” “My name is Curtis.” “The man who called my hotel and left word that he'd call back?” “That's right.” His hands still clasped behinc his back, Appellate Court Judge Hiram Clay rocked heel and toe. “Let's pus it this way, Mandell. If this were a criminal court and I were the presiding judge, how would you plead? Did you vr didn’t you kill Cherry Marvin?” “How many times do I have to tell the story: SPEEDERS LOSE!

Judge Clay relighted his cigar. “I am inclined,” he said vetween puffs, “to believe Mandell is tell- ing the truth, in so far as he knows it. How abou. you, Joe?” The state’s attorney said dubi- ously, “It could be. It's a problem, gentiemen.” He looked at Curtis. “I suppose we'll have to go along.

There was too much brass in the room to suit him.

Mandell got into the car. “Who hired you to spring me? Mr. Eb- bling?” Curtis pushed the starter. “No.” Mandell; rode, working on the knot of his tie. He was glad Rose- mary had brought him clean linen and a clean suit. Gale was un- doubtedly at the hotel b now. He hoped his talk with Mr. Curtis wouldn't take too long. “It was nice of you to get me out.” Curtis smiled. “Perhaps I had an ulterior motive.” Mandell wished he knew what ulterior meant. He offered, “My father-in-law is an attorney, too. He's a patent lawyer.” “Yes,” Curtis said. “I know.” Turning north again, he parked ssword Puzzle ACROSS @. Opes ities 1. Finish “<s 4 Asiati .
