The State Department of Vet
erans Service announced that it
had completed mailing the first
300.000 pamphlets. “It Is Later
Than You Think” in which time
limits on filing benefit claims by
ex-servicemen are detailed. Pub
lished in abbreviated, pocket
size because of the current econ
omy drive, the booklet is never
theless conceded to be one of the
most complete veterans’ guides
ever published.
C. Arthur Cheatham, state
veterans service director, an
nounced that benefit claims
amounting to “several million
dollars in aggregate” have been
filed with the Veterans Service
offices as a result of the distri
bution of the pamphlet so far.
Cheatham was interviewed
while on his way to Washington
to confer with Federal officials
and protest at Gov. Thompson’s
direction the recent order clos
ing the Veterans Administra
tion’s Finney General Hospital
at Thomasville.
Right on the Spot
ST. LOUIS—When an order
blared out from police headquar
ters, “Investigate an open man
hole, at Grand and Jefferson
drives in Forest Park,” Police
Sergt. John E. Rooney and Pa
trolman John V. Cunniff, in a
patrol car, had no trouble com
plying. The right front wheel of
their car was caught in it.

$315,000 for Hospital
Acting Gov. Thompson’s econ
omy axe has lopped 175 non-es
sential state employees off the
payroll in the past seven weeks.
As a result, a saving of $316,800
a year has been made in the
state’s operating budget and Gov.
! Thompson has allocated all but
SI,BOO of it to the Battey Gen
! eral Hospital at Rome.
He left the choice of to what
use the $315,000 would be put up
to hospital officials. They have
announced that the entire
amount will be spent to provide
new additional facilities to care
for tuberculosis patients.
None of the money, they said,
will be used to purchase the
miracle drug, streptomycin, be
cause the need for more beds is
so pressing. In the meantime.
• the streptomycin drive is con
tinuing and at the end of last
W week was less than SIO,OOO short
of its goal—s7s,ooo. Contribu
! tions from the general public are
still being sought by the Geor
