High Point VFW Opposes Major Hoover Report Changes
High Point VFW Post 619 voted against key Hoover Commission recommendations on the Veterans Administration. A.C.

He warned of higher loan rates and chaotic administration. Joe V. Gallen compared VA efficiency now to the 1920s, and post commander Earl Pope summarized past year’s work.
