Brig. Gen. Charles M. Drury,
chief of UNNRA mission In Po

his body. A suit costs 15,000
zlotys, which is about $300. A
pair of shoes cost about 10,000
zlotys."
"The killing Is over, but the
dying hasn't ended."
C. Lyall Fldler, public director
for the drive, states "The people
of Medford and Jackson county

not withstand another winter of
suffering, but people of all ages
need clothing desperately.

VET SUBSISTENCE
PLAN SPEEDED UP
TO AID EDUCATION
A change In the procedures for
authorizing subsistence allow
ance to eligible veterans has
been authorized by the Veterans
Administration according to a
release from area headquarters
of the Red Cross received by
the home service department of
the Jackson county chapter. The
procedure will speed up their
first checks, It Is said, and it is
expected that payment will be
gin 30 days after enrollment In
school under the new plan.
According to the dispatch,
the change was ordered by Gen.
Omar N. Bradley, administrator
of Veterans Affairs, after com
plaints were received that the
previous method was too slow
and cumbersome. Under the new
procedure, the process of auth
orizing subsistence payments will
be started immediately after vet
erans enroll in colleges or uni
versities, even If the necessary
records are not readily avail
able. The records, under the new
program, will be secured while
the veteran is In training and
any necessary adjustments in
pay made at a later date.
Under this procedure, veterans
should have their first checks
immediately after they complete
their first 30 days of study.
