Such reports are untrue. Chain-drive MACK trucks have been built for twenty -two years and will continue to be built as long as MACK trucks are made by the International Motor Company. Optional types of final drive (in cluding the chain) are offered in the Vs, 2, and 2i2-ton MACK models but the 3y2, 5, and 712-ton models are exclusively chain-drive. You cannot buy a better truck than a MACK so why delay your deci sion? PERFORMANCE COUNTS Colin Auto Co. Mack International Motor Truck Corporation tee National Commander F. YV. Oal brallh, Jr., gave it to Senator Harding at .Marion, where he had a long and Important conference on the disabled situation with the next President. The Iegiiiu denounces the present unit hod of caring for the disabled as a "failure" which only can he rem edied by the entire reconstruction of the federal machinery dealing with the problem. The functions of the three agencies, which deal with the problems of the disabled, the bureau of war risk In surance, the federal board for voca tional , education, and the United State public health service, "must be co-ordinated, tbelr machinery decen tralized and all three placed under common control," the memorial states. As an equally essential remedy for existing conditions, the memorial urges the Immediate appropriation for Hie use of the unified organization of a sum ample to build or rent a sufficient number of hospitals to take care of the 10,900 ex-service men who are unable to receive treatment at present because of lack of beds and shelter. The "failure" of the government to afford Justice to the sick and wounded veterans Is attributed by the Legion to "an astonishing state of divided re sponsibility and wasted effort anions the government agencies with which the problem rests." The break la the chain of responsi bility occurs, according to the me morial, as a result of the fact that the war risk bureau is under and re sponsible to an assistant secreta ry of the treas ury, an officer of the executive brunch of the gov ernment, while the federal board for vocational ed ucation Is respon sible only to con gress, and Is un der none of the executive depart ments of the gov ernment. The memorial W. Galbraith, Jr. asserts that the United States has been more liberal than any other nation in its provisions for the disabled soldiers, but that It has failed In large measure to make these provisions available In spite of the benefit of the experience of other nation in the recent war and the ex perience of this nation in previous wars. "In the re-habllltation of a disabled man there are three needs medical treatment, vocational training and financial support," the memorial states. "The government has recog nized the three needs, but overlooks the fact that they are the simultane ous needs of one man, not of three different men or of one man at three different times. It makes three prob lems out of what really Is one problem. "Continuing this faulty conception, It has given the problem over to three j agencies. All, by force of clrcurastan- ces, are exercising functions they were i not Intended to exercise. This pre ' sents an amazing spectacle of admln j Istrntive chaos. dupUatlon, wasted en j ergy and conflict, which Is the key to Ihe present condition. "The result Is the suffering of the disabled veterans. Thousands are waiting and have waited for months for compensation for their Infaries, fSJ PERFORMANCE COUNTS' Thi.u-aiids have Kail'-! for month for an opportunity to re es'ubli-ih them -eh es as e!f xic.-;.

New ho-vi'nl cas'-s are developing at the rate of I.WjO a nion'h In excess of the number discharged. Sixteen thousand beds are nee'I'-d now. Hun dreds of veterans are the object of public and private charity. Afflicted and penniless veterans have been driv en to refuge In almshouses and Jails. Many have died, and If Immediate re lief Is not forthcoming, more will die destitute, without proper medi cal care, without compensation with which to obtain IL abanuoned by the country they served. All this Is at tributable directly to the manner In which the government has adminis tered the affairs of the disabled. 'The bureau of war risk Insurance Is responsible for the payment of com liensation nnd for medical and hos pital care of the man. Logically, this would Involve establishing contact with the men at the time of their discharge from the military or naval service. It should then determine the existence and degree of disability and compensation on this basis. 'Due to the centralization of the bureau's forces In Washington, It la practically Impossible under the pres ent law to establish contact with the man entitled to these benefits. The disabled man is placed in the position of a man Injured in Industry who must Bue the company. He mutt car ry on an Involved and technical corre spondence. It Is usually months af ter he Is dropped from the pay rolls of the army or navy before ha is tak en upon the pay roll of the bureau, even though his service discharge shows a definite degree of disability. On November 26, 1920, 83,000 cases were pending in the bureau awaiting definite adjustment of compensation. Thousands are suffering and many have died as a result of this neglect "The federal board for vocational training will accept the evidence of the bureau's medical files granting compensation as proof that a man entitled to vocational training. The bureau, however, will not accept the evidence that the board has awarded training us proof that a man Is en titled to compensation. "If the veteran is receiving com pensation and wants training, usually he must take another physical exam ination, administered by the board to determine whether the cluimant has a vocuiioiial handicap entitling him to training pay, or merely a compens able disability granting him training only, if the veteruti is not receiving compenu-.it ion, due to delay by the bureau, he must be examined by the board, to determine his eligibility for training, as well. "When a man enters training with training puy, his compensation stops and he is shifted from the pay roll of the bureau to the pay roll of the board. The board, which was created as a training agency only, has be come a compensating agency as well. Many men have been kept on the pay roll of the board, not as a training measure solely, but as a measure of finHiidal relief which they were en- HEPPNER titled to, but uiialoe to ou.am fi-.Ui the bureau. "When a man is dropped from train ing he is bUppuvd to be dropped from the pay roll of the board and taken up by the bureau. On botii sb ft tbere Is delay. The average length of time for a man to be dropped from the bureau pay roll and tukeu up on the hoard pay roll is about three weeks. The average time required for the second utiift back to the bu reau pay roll Is two months. No pro vision is made for the mans main tenance during these Interims. In the majority of cases a nian must under go a new physical examination before the bureau will again pay him com pensatun. In other words, he must again prove his claim.
