Commander
Dr. C. G. Stem, of Ccquille Poet, No.

“Multiply this figure by the number

this legislation will be ®f inestimable
aid,” Drr- Stem said.
The American Legion measure sets
up a master plan for dealing with the
whole veterans’ problem of this war.
It would unify all government func
tions for veterans under the U. S.
Veterans Administration, simplify

and assure fairness for both the vet

gion has written the lessons of its
28 years of experience in dealing with
1 every problem of rehabilitating ex-
I service men and women.
“At present more than a dozen
government agencies are competing
with each other for the honor of
serving the returning veterans,"
Commander Stem said, “The result
is a lot of confusion, overlapping
services, red tape which delays set-
tlement of disability claims, divided
responsibility, and too often out
right neglect of the veteran who
needs prompt «nd adequate care
quickly. The Legion legislation would

“By supporting the Legion measure,
