The top-level commisison said in its report to President Eisen hower that more help should be given to ex-GIs who were badly disabled in uniform or whose disabilities result directly from their service to their country. Bradley Called To Explain Gen. Omar N. Bradley, World War II hero and former veterans administrator, was called before the House Veterans Committee to explain its proposals. His commission braved the wrath of the big veterans or ganizations with its recommend ed crackdown on non-service connected benefits. It ran head on into a fast-rolling drive by the American Legion and Vet erans of Foreign Wars to estab lish what would amount to a general service pension based on age and a liberalized test of need. Without referring to these or ganizations by name, the com mission said the general pension proposal would be "national folly," leading to a "tremen dous" increase in veterans cost. Would Eliminate Pensions . In view of expanded Social Security coverage, it said, ex GIs with non-service disabili ties should be considered in the same category as other citizens and their pensions and other benefits should be "minimized and gradually eliminated." The commission was appoint ed by Mr. Eisenhower last year to look into all benefits granted the nation's 22,000.000 veterans. The President pointed out in his January budget message that costs are increasing and nearly half the population potentially is entitled to benefits of some kind. Navy's 'Demon' Plane Money 'Total Lossf Washington (U.R) The Sen ate Prepardness Subcommittee claims that 5265,000,000 the Navy spent on the original F3H "Demon" jet fighter was a "total loss." It said the only return on the Navy's money has been "lessons learned." It said one lesson was that the Navy must have "better sales resistance to backlog mind ed manufacturers." The subcommittee, headed by Senate Democratic Leader Lyn don B. Johnson (Tex.), rejected the Navy's argument that even tual delivery of a successor plane made the project a suc cess. It took a new swipe at the "disconcerting" F3H program in an official report. The subcom mittee had issued a previous re port on the Navy's attempt to speed production of a fighter plane during the Korean war that would outperform the Com munist MIG.
