GRAFT DATA FOUND IN VEIS, BUREAU PROBE Major-General Ryan Predicts Scan dal in Buremi "Dishdnesty on Pretty l$:g Scale" Likely to Be Uncovered by Senato Committee Washington, D. C, April 14 Dis closure of "dishonesty, on a pretty big scale here and there" in the past handling of veterans' bureau affairs was predicted today by Major-Gen-eral John F. O'Ryan, special counsel of the senaite investigating commit tee, who said he based hia statement on a preliminary survey. However, he declared, he was im pressed with the conscientious ef- orts made - in many directions to carry out the purpose for which the bureau was created! Many of the difficulties encountered which has brought about adverse criticism, he said, probably will be traced to in competence of underpaid employes entrusted with the expediture of the vast sums of money. General O'Ryan expects the com mittee to begin hearings next week. Complaints reaching the commit tee counsel cover most of the ac tivities of the bureau, but the prin cipal ones, General O'Ryan said, are those charging "graft" in the pur chase of hospital isites, and those from ex-service men who either have not received compensation from the bureau or who are receiving some but think they are not getting ; "square deal." Wherever a clear case of injus'' is shown, General O'Ryan said, he forwards tho complaint to Director Hines for action and ' In this way many faults are being corrected.. Complaints from Individuals, the committee attorney ald, have divided into three groups: Those of complainants having no case; "ordi nary" cases resulting from an hon est difference of medical opinion and those cases where the beneficiary lives in a remote locality, papers have been lost, compensation checks have gone astray, or maladministra tion is apparent. To aid him in the silting and in vestigating process, General O'Ryan said he had asked and was receiving tho co-operation of the bar associa tions In every state. Lawyers are being designated by these organi lations who have no connections that would Inject politics in the investi gation. If acceptable to the commit tee's counsel they are then charged with running down complaints in their respective localities. In this way, General O'Ryan .said, he is able to comb the entire coun try. All papers, especially those re lating to complaints of "graft," he added, are turned over to local in vestigators with the assurance that the truth would be developed and there will be no "axe to grind." Neither he nor the senate commit tee, General O'Ryan said, will at tempt to correct mistakes or injus tices. These are being called to the at tention of tho verterans' bureau and their correction will be left to Di rector Hines. If anything of a crimi nal nature is developed, he added, it will be called to the attention of the department of justice. IRRIGON' HIGH SCHOOL WILL PRODUCE PLAY The students of the Irrigon high school will present "All a Mistake." a three-act comedy, ' at tho high school auditorium Saturday, April 21st.
