PAIR REUNITED-More than a decade of frustration and
loneliness ended Thursday as Phillip Heller was reunited
with his daughter, Vera, 16. Heller, a former Czech na
tional now residing in Sacramento, Calif., fled Czechoslo
vakia in 1948 to come to the United States and in his escape
left his wife and young daughter behind. He finally talked
to Antonin Novotny, president of Czechoslovakia, in New
York during recent weeks and Novotny promised to return
his daughter to Heller. The reunion, shown in San Fran
cisco, is proof that he kept his word. (UPI Telephoto)

News and Notes
From Camp White
: By WALTER TOWNSEND
Pleasantly alert and distin
guished looking, the manager
has lust returned from Wash
ington, where he saw the
President, and attended a Vet
erans administration confer
ence for managers.
This was the first time in
the nation's capitol that all
managers in the VA met to
discuss management purpose,
and was considered an histo
rical event by the press of the
nation. All managers - as well
as Henry C. Herzog, manager
of Veterans Administration
domiciliary, White City - had
the opportunity of meeting
the President.
Sumner G. WhitHer, admin
istrator for veterans affairs, in
his keynote speech at the man
agers conference outlined the
basic purpose of the confer
ence. Review Fundamentals
This, he said, was to have a
review of management fundamentals-using
the administra
tor's policies, a copy of which
was in each conferee's hand,
he outlined the necessity for
such things as meaningful
standards, for sound organiza
tion, for a prompt reporting
system, and for healthy com
petition He stressed that ev
erything is susceptible to im
provement. He said, in part, "Why do I
like charts? Because in clear,
simple, readily understand
able form they display the
story: two simple lines; one
the standard, the other the
performance, and there It is,
the whole story. I would like
a common system throughout
the VA because we are one
system, not a collection of va
rying Babels. I would like to
be able to walk Into any office
and hospital in the land, and
ask to be briefed and not have
to spend a great deal of time
while your individual report
ing system is explained to
me."
Broad Rang
The conference covered a
broad range of topics, Herzog
said.
On Monday It was VA orga
nization. . .
Portions of Monday and
Tuesday were devoted to the
reporting system as a tool of
management (standards, meas
urement, interpretation).
The real life reporting proc
ess was observed and studied
on Tuesday as chiefs of serv
ices, a doctor and a nurse, re
ported to the manager. And
then the upward flow, manag
er to the area director, on to
the chief medical director, and
finally, his report to the ad
ministrator. The DVB and DI
systems (Department Veter
ans Benefits and Department
of Insurance) were also scru
tinized. .
Wednesday Agenda
The Wednesday agenda cov
ered such subjects as adminis
trative research and develop
ment. Pre- and post hospital
care, medlcul research and ed
ucation, dynamics of program
planning, budgeting, manage
ment of professional person
nel, manpower utilization and
automation, and several more.
This was the day the managers
spent with their department
officials. -
Interspersed were the dy
namic discussions of the small
groups on the -analysis and
evaluation of a number of VA
management processes.
"I was glad to get back to
Oregon," Herzog said on his
return from Washington;
Meat In Halls '
The members often .meet
him In the halls and in other
spots. He has been here two
years, and has brought about
many good changes, some of
which are a receiving section
which affords better control
for medical and other evalua
tions, necessary for the plan
nlng board in . outlining the
welfare and betterment of
members, and smoother ad
mittance to the domiciliary;
together with many improve
ments to the buildings, and
construction projects, accom
plished in both the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1960, and the
year before. All of which has
made the domiciliary a plena-
anter place for the men-to
live.
New roofs; addition to the
coffee shop. And of great im
portance was the addition to
the personnel of a manual arts
therapist. Folding ramps for
wheel-chair men was one of
the dramatic things that came
particularly to the attention of
the men.
Many smaller things, too,
has made life more worth
while, that Manager Henry C.
Herbzog has accomplished
here. New theater drapes, and
curtains In the group meeting
room.
Needful Changes
He has caused many need
ful changes, that the members
appreciate, and talk - about.
The new dining room furni
ture, and removal of the bar
ber shop to a more desirable
location, has made life better
for the members.
Herzog had the library mov
ed into more spacious quar
ters, resulting in greater con
venience for some 1,500 per
sons, consisting of nearly a
thousand members, and sever
al hundred personnel.
"This was a big undertak
ing, and the best one I know
about," one of the long-time
members said.
