THE NEWj3ERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C.
HERBERT HOOVER HESITATED
WASHINGTON. —Secretary of
Agriculture Clinton Anderson had a
hard time at first persuading Her
bert Hoover to come to Washing
ton for the food conference. Ander
son caught the ex-President at Key
West, Fla., where he was fishing.
“I’ve promised my family for sev
en years to take them fishing,”
Hoover told the secretary of agri
culture, “and now at last here I
am.”
Anderson, however, emphasized
the urgency of the food crisis.
“We need your experience and ad
vice, Mr. President,” he said. “You
can go back to your fishing imme
diately afterward. But this is a
time when your country needs
you.”
Hoover finally consented to come.
BRICKBATS WIN ELECTIONS
Two of the bitterest opponents
on the house floor and in the inter
state commerce committee are Rep
resentatives Clarence Brown, con
servative Republican of Blanches-
ter, Ohio, and Vito Marcantonio,
American Laborite of New York
City. Off the floor, however, the two
respect each other’s ability and get
along well.
Sitting in the house lobby the
other day they smilingly concluded
an agreement which will probably
never be carried out.
They were talking about campaign
expenses, when Brown proposed:
“Vito, I've got a suggestion. Why
don’t we both cut our campaign ex
penses to the bone? Here’s how to
do it:
"You go into my district and
make three speeches against
me. Call me a reactionary
Hooverite, an isolationist, an
economic royalist — and any
thing else you can think of.
That’ll elect me.
“Then I’ll go into your district
and make three speeches. I’ll
call you a Red, a Dago, a new
dealer and an anti-Ra' 'inite.
“With the proper literature about
you in my district and the proper
literature about me in your district,
both of us are a cinch for re-elec
tion when we do that.”
Marcantonio agreed that the idea
had merit, and they shook hands on
it.
NAZIS REMAIN IN GERMANY
A secret report on failure to de-
Nazify Germany has been made to
the war department, but is consid
ered so shocking that it probably
will be destroyed. It is now in the
office of Brig. Gen. Frank A.
Meade.
The report shows complete
failure to clean out high-rank
ing Nazis. It also shows a sur
prising number of so-called Ger
man “laborers” who have secre
taries and stenographers as
signed to them.
This is one of the latest dodges to
get around the employment of Nazis
by the American army. According
to army rules, no former Nazi can
be employed in any'job more im
portant than that of a “laborer.”
Result is that many Nazis are used
in important jobs, but listed on the
books as “laborers.” That is why
they are assigned secretaries and
stenographers.
These “common laborers” are
then put in charge of important
manufacturing plants. The report
now in the hands of the war depart
ment was made by the public safety
and inspection division of military
government. It may never see the
light of day.
HOW WYATT DID IT
If there were more men like Hous
ing Expediter Wilson Wyatt around.
President Truman would have eas
ier sailing. The other day in Chi
cago, Wyatt was gue:t speaker at
a banquet of the National Associ
ation of home builders, 3,200 strong,
all hostile, all prepared to boo at
the man who proposed revolutionary
building ■ reforms in order to com
plete 3,000,000 homes in two years.
As Wyatt arose, the atmosphere
was charged with hostility. How
ever, he told stones, explained his
program, made no antagonistic
statements.
“If you gentlemen are against this
program, then you don’t understand
it,” Wyatt said. “It’s my fault for
not making it clear.”
After 45 minutes, having won over
a considerable part of the audience,
he stopped. Then for 45 minutes
more he answered questions. Every
inch of the way he fought for his
program of low-cost housing for vet
erans.
Finally, when he finished, ev
ery builder in the huge dining
room rose to his feet and
cheered.
NOW WHITE SPAGHETTI
Some of the strongest opposition
to the President’s “dark bread” or
der is coning from an unexpected
quarter — spaghetti manufacturers.
Spaghetti, macaroni and noodles
are made from semolina, a gritty
flour made, in turn, from durum
wheat.
Semolina millers, as well as
spaghetti makers, are up in arms
about the “dark bread” order, de
claring it will drive them out of
business. A number of semolina
mills have filed an exception.
Innocent Bystander
The Cinemagician.-;: Paved with

and Bob performing their whackro-
batics. . . . “Sunbonnet Sue” packs

Nazi sympathizers in the U. S. A.
Army officials promised the lists
would be made public. The State
Dep’t promised the lists would be
made public. A Cong. Committee
promised the lists would be made
public. . . . And what happened?
Absolutely nothing! After all those
jjromises — the lists are still a se

are being hushed up—is a secret.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This newspaper,
through special arrangement with tha
Washington Bureau of Western Newspaper
Union at 1616 Eye Street, N. W^ Washing
ton, D. C., is able to bring readers this
weekly column on problems of the veteran
and serviceman and his family. Questions
may be addressed to the above Bureau and
they will be answered in a subsequent col

mail, but only in the column which will
appear in this newspaper regularly.
Factors That Determine ,
Veteran’s Pension Rate n
Closest to the heart of every vet
eran who wears a wound stripe is
adequate medical care. Gen. Omar
Bradley, administrator of veterans*
affairs, shortly after his appoint
ment, picked as hij assistant to
have charge of the medical and sur
gical division of VA, a man who
is no stranger to wounded vets.
He is Maj. Gen. Paul R. Hawley,
who was chief surgeon of the Euro
pean theater of war, and as such
had under his direction 254,000
medical department men, including
16,000 doctors, 4,500 dentists and 18,-
000 nurses. Under his administra
tion more than 1,500,000 patients
were admitted to army hospitals
in the European theater and of this
number 340,000 were battle casual
ties. So General Hawley has had
broad experience in caring for our
fighting men in time of war and
has been chosen to head up the
medical branch of VA because of
this experience and great success.
Under the expanding hospital pro
gram of VA, General Hawley is call
ing upon the best medical and sur
gical brains of irie nation to take
a hand in the great rehabilitation
program of disabled veterans. The
idea to take veterans’ hospitals close
to the medical centers of the na
tion reflects one of General Haw
ley’s plans to decentralize and bring
treatment as close to the home
towns of the country as possible.
Questions and Answers
Q. Our boy was taken Into the
army. We are farming 520 acres
of land, milking 12 to 20 cows by
hand the year round, raising over
350 head of hogs a year. 1 am
physically unfit to do any farm
work. This work is all up to two
boys 19 and 20, one a 4-F. We
must hire a man to replace the boy
that is gone. He has set aside $30
of his wages to help pay for this
help. Will the government match
this, and if so how do we go about
getting it? This boy was really
needed.—L. U., Gladbrook, Iowa.
A. Your local selective service
board had the responsibility of de
ciding whether or not your boy was
needed more on the farm than in
the army. If they had decided he
was needed there, he would have
been given an agricultural defer
ment under the selective service
law. No, there is no provision for
the government to match the $30
per month. If you can prove a hard
ship case, which is unlikely, the boy
could ask for a discharge on that
ground. He would have to initiate
the case through his commanding
officer.
Q. Is the widow of a World War
I veteran entitled to a pension if
the husband’s death is not connect
ed with the war? Do World War I
veterans receive pensions? If a
disability allowance was discontin
ued and the case reviewed and re
fused again what can one do? Is
the wife of a World War 1 veteran
entitled to medical care?—Mrs. J.
H., Tower, Minn.
A. Yes, the widow of a World War
I veteran is entitled to a pension
although death is not service con
nected. Only disabled veterans re
ceive pensions. In case a disability
allowance is discontinued and re
viewed and refused again, the vet
eran has the right to appeal to a
board of the VA. Wives of World
War I veterans are not entitled to
medical care.
Q. 1 have a lot on a main high
way. I’d like to put up a business
but in order to do this I need around
$2,000. Could you send me full in
structions on how to go about this
matter and just what I must do?—
Mr. H. F. S., Selma, Ala.
A. Go to your bank and ask if
they will make you a G.I. loan on the
proposition. If they consider it a
good risk, they will take care of all
the details.
Q. When and how is transporta
tion for servicemen’s kin available
and what are the chances for the
wife of a PFC whose husband is
stationed in Regensberg, Germany?
—Mrs. C. O. B., Chamberlain, S. D.
A. The serviceman must initiate
the request with his commanding
officer. If the request is granted
you will be notified of all details.
Only wives are eligible.
Q. I was discharged from the
army in January, 1944, because
of wounds received when I stepped
on a land mine. I had temporary
amnesia and head injuries. Have
only a 45-degree extension of my left
arm. Otherwise am in perfect
shape. How do I go about getting
back into the army?—M. N., Eu
gene, Ore.
A. The army has lowered its regu
lations somewhat upon physical re
quirements and would suggest you
discuss the question with your local
recruiting office, or you may con
tact your draft board.
