DISABLED SOLDIER GETS LOW RATING FOR HIS WOUNDS Story of Steve Borisuk and His Experience With Govern ment Bureau. RULINGS ARE IN CONFLICT In Boston He Is Incompetent and In Washington He Is Competent. BY HARIIY B. HINT. WASHINGTON, June 26.--This is the story of Steven Borisuk, former soldier for Uncle Sam. When you have read it, you may understand something of the cynicism with which thousands of disabled sol diers regard the promises of the Gov ernment to give them just akl and compensation. It is now more than forty-three months since the armistice which ended the fighting. But peace, for Steve, has meant one hospital after another. Among the mementos of his fight ing days which Steve lists are: A fractured skull. Virtual blindness. Diseased bones in left cheek. Lungs which leak blood. Bayonet stabs In stomach. A shattered back. Seven machine gun bullets through 1 left leg. A silver plate to take the place of one heel shot away. He Makes No Complaint Steve isn’t knocking. Money doesn’t mean much to him. anyway. Also, he's used to having his compensation rating changed. For the first nine months after his discharge Steve was rated as having 15 per cent disability. For that he drew sl2 a month. Then his rating was changed to temporary total. Later, in June, 1920, It was decided he was totally and permanently dis abled and he was so rated. This gave him SBO a month disability pay. ; That d.dn't last long, however; his rating being shifted to temporary total again, and payments withheld on the claim that he was incompetent. His Rating Is Out. Demanding j. reexamination to clear up the matter of competency, ; so he could collect his pay, Steve got ! It. He was declared competent, but at the same time his disability rating was cut to 10 per cent. A 10 per cent disability allowance pays $8 a month. From this he was shifted again to a temporaray total rating. And now the temporary total Is sup planted by “less than 10 per cent,” which effectively removes Steve from the Veterans Bureau payroll. Only six weeks ago an operation was performed to remove some dis eased bone in Steve's left jaw. "Next week they’re going to take out my r.ght eye," Steve said. “The left's in bad shape, too. Mustard gas.” More Red Tape. /Steve “got his," be explains, at Chateau Thierry and Belleau Wood. That ended the overseas fighting for Steve. Most of his battles since that time have been with Veterans Bureau authorities. Losing battles, on the I basis of the latest rating. One of the illuminating factors in Steve's case—ilium.nating as to ad ministrative efficiency in the bureau— is that in the first district, including Brookline, Mass., his home, Steve Ij listed as incompetent and insane. In the fourth district —Washington—he Is certified as competent and sane. MOTHER OF 13 CHILDREN HAS DEAD HEAT RIVAL Mrs. Charles Cole Also Always Does Her Own Washing. Mrs. P. S.
