On Overcrowding
Detroit (U.R) Children's

ed overcrowded conditions for
the death of a 15-month old boy
whose mother claimed she was
ignored by ' doctors and nurses
for nearly two hours.
The mother, Mrs. Caroline Mc
Abee, 27, said she took her baby,
James, to the hospital twice. She
said the first time she was told
to take the infant home and feed
him a mixture of syrup and boil
ed water. She said she returned
to the hospital because the child
"was breathing hard and in
pain."
When she returned she said
she tried vainly to obtain the
help of doctors and nurses but
after two hours of waiting the
youngster died in her arms.
Mrs. McAbee said she finally
managed to get attention by forc
ing her way into an examining
room where Dr. William T. Gat
field was treating another infant.
Apparently the child was dead at
that time.

Amendments in Program for
GI Loans Included in Bill
The World War II GI loan pro
gram ending date has been ex
tended for one more year to July
25, 1958, under an omnibus GI
loan law signed by the President
AllfT 1 nfVnrHinA n C T "D
o- -, - ...... , , t v. u . A. i,i nii-
nock. of the Vptoron'. Arimtni J
tration office in Medford.
The GI loan program previous
ly was scheduled to end July 25.
1957, Brannock said, and under
the wording of the original law,
all GI loans would have had to
be closed by that date.
Under the law, any GI loan
for which VA receives an appli.
cation by July 25, 1958, may be
guaranteed or insured by VA if
it is completed by July 25, 1959.
Law Affects
Brannock added that the law
affects only World War II vet
erans. Korean veterans have un
til Jan. 31, 1965, to obtain GI
loans for homes, farms or busi
nesses. More than 345.000 Ko
rean veterans have borrowed
$3.6 billion in GI loans. VA has
guaranteed or insured $2 billion
of that amount.
In addition, the law will per
mit any veteran who sells resi
dential property purchased with
a GI loan to be relieved from lia
bility to the government under
certain circumstances.
Previously, the veteran who
sold his property and allowed
the purchaser to assume his GI
loan still remained liable to the
government in the event of fore
closure and payment of a guar
anty claim by the VA. Now the
veteran is relieved of liability if
the purchaser assumes full liabil
ity on the loan.
Entitlement Restored
The new law also permits
World War II veterans to have
their GI loan entitlement restor
ed up to Jan. 31, 1965, if their
property was taken by a govern
mental agency for public use,
was destroyed by a natural haz-
Air Pumped To Man
Trapped Under Wafer
New Orleans (U.R) Work
ers cut metal and pumped air by
floodlight Saturday to try to
keep alive two men feared trap
ped inside the cabin of a cap
sized floating oil rig in the Mis
sissippi river.
While pumping crews worked
to maintain a four-to-five foot
air pocket inside the inverted ca
bin others cut through sheaths of
heavy hull metal on the bottom
of the huge barge in an effort
to reach the men.
All but four of some 30 men
aboard were accounted for after
the $1,500,000 barge, bigger in
area than a basketball court, cap
sized with a sudden shift of its
load of metal pipe late Friday.
Witnesses said two missing men
were seen on top at Jhe last mo
ment ana couia not be in tne ca
bin. At least five others were in
jured in plunges into the water
or in leaping to safety. 1

ard, or was otherwise disposed
of for reasons not the fault of
the veteran.
The law also amends the GI
bill to permit the restoration of
GI loan entitlement to a veteran
who disposes of his home because
of a transfer under military
orders.
A veteran, under the new law,
will have to certify that he' in
tends to live in the home he is
buying with the assistance of a
GI loan at the time of applica
tion and at the time of closing
the loan.
The law also clarifies and con
firms VA's authority to make the
final determination of reasonable
value of property irrespective of
the estimate of value made by
an individual appraiser.
The GI loan program has been
in operation for 12 years and
4.466,000 World War II veterans
have borrowed $33.2 billion in
GI loans. Of that amount, VA
has guaranteed or insured $17.9
Peak of Chicago
Epidemic Expected
Chicago (U.R) Dr. Herman
Bundesen, Board of Health pres
ident, has expressed hope that
a leveling-off would appear in
Chicago's record polio outbreak
in abuut a week.
Bundesen's speculation of a
leveling-off and an ensuing de
cline in the polio case load was
based on past records of the dis
ease in the city. Although hope
ful, Bundesen admitted his prog
nosis could be wrong.
There have been 676 cases of
polio and 18 deaths from the dis
ease so far this year, far exceed
ing case loads in past years.
Bundesen's optimistic state
ment came as the polio rate con
tinued to climb, particularly in
the hard-hit West Side slum area
where almost 50 per cent of the
cases have been recorded.
