Critics charge bureau kept to administration dictates on hospital sites
The bureau faces sharp criticism for deferring site selection for new veterans hospitals to White House directions. Although $17,000,000 was approved to fund the hospitals with the director of the veterans bureau to choose sites, the administration reportedly sent all site selections from the White House. While construction lags, tubercular veterans sleep outdoors in Arizona and veterans with war shock are housed in private asylums.
