March 13.—Ap proval Tuesday by the House Veterans Affairs Committee of legislation providing 400 addition al beds for South Carolina vet erans was hailed by Rep. W J. Bryan Dorn of Greenwood, who predicted that the measure would be taken up and passed by the full House at an early date. Dorn, a member of the Vet erans Affairs Committee, said he was “very much in favor” of the reinstatement of the hospital program. “It’s a shame the way veterans have been treated,” said the Greenwood congressman. Even emergency cases needing atten tion have been denied hospitaliza tion.” Dorn said he had received let ters from a number of service officers complaining t that they could not take care of the veter ans in their territory with the facilities at hand. A new 200-bed general medical hospital at Greenville and a 200- bed addition to the general medi cal hospital at Columbia are among facilities mentioned speci fically in the legislation Both hospitals have been sought by the state American Legion and other veterans organ izations. Today’s action is an effort to get President Truman to counter mand his order of two years ago cancelling the construction of some 24 new veterans hospitals which already had been authoriz ed by Congress. / Best Spellers Be Determined As spring rolls around, young sters from the eighth grade and down begin ‘‘boning up” on such words as “conduit” and ‘bivouac’ in the hope of winning out in the Sate Spelling Bee The contest this year, accord ing to Thomas I.
