Schworer, veterans administration contact representative at the Uni versity, emphasized yesterday. Instances have occurred recent ly where ex-servicemen herb have 1 traveled long distances only to find they could not be admitted. Should Check An advance check through any veterans administration hospitals under a priority system, on this ba sis (1) Emergency cases; (2) treatment for injuries or diseases incurred or made worse from war service; (3) permanently disabling illnesses not due to service, such as tuberculosis and neuropsychiatric diseases; (4) all other non-service connected diseases or disabilities. When a bed is available in a vet erans administration hospital, a veteran with a non-service connect ed illness is given treatment, pro vided he signs an affidavit stating he cannot afford private hospital care. No Delay In the Pacific Northwest, the veterans administration is able to treat without delay all emergency and service-connected cases and most tuberculosis and neuropsychi atric cases, Schworer emphasised. However, some veterans admin istration hospitals have waiting lists for veterans with non-service connected disabilities. In such cas es, a veteran is called in for hos pital care when a bed becomes available and as soon as his name comes up on the waiting list.
