IS-1S HARRISON AVENUE
Open Every Evening
Veterans’ placement authorities
here are awaiting a comprehensive
interpretation of the Harrison hos
pitalization law under which hun
dreds of local veterans hitherto
barred from hospital care are be
lieved to be now eligible for treat
ment.
In the sketchily published re
ports of the provisions of the bill,
peace time veterans suffering from
permanent disabilities which are
non-service connected are said to
be now eligible for hospital care.
Liberally interpreted, the bill
would mean that thousands of ex
servicemen who have contracted
ailments since the war and in no
way connected with their service
would receive medical attention
provided by the government.
Await Report
Neither Mrs. Edith Ladd, execu
tive secretary of the local Red
Cross chapter, nor Robert P. Birt,
who share jointly the work of plac
ing local veterans in need of hos
pitalization would venture an opin
ion on the effect the btll would
have here. Mrs. Ladd said that an
interpretation of the new measure
would be received within a few
days.
It was predicted, however, that
the admission of peace time veter
ans to government hospitalization
would mean a large increase in the
local case load.
Limitations
According to published accounts
of the new act which local author
ities said were somewhat contra
dictory, "those suffering from
