DAV Official Urges Care for Disabled Veterans in Ohio
State Senator Albert L. Daniels accused the Veterans Administration of inadequate care for disabled veterans. He cited long hospital waiting lists at Dayton and unacknowledged disability claims, and criticized preferential treatment for education and employment over disability benefits. Daniels urged Congress to improve laws and cited DAV’s 25 year fight for veterans. Officers were installed in Athens with praise for the chapter’s work with widows and orphans. Also, Rep. Alvin F. Weichel co-sponsored a bill to eradicate lampreys from the Great Lakes.
