Few Hospitals In State Will Be For Veterans Only
Washington August 30 clarified hospitalization rules for veterans at Roanoke. The act limits hospital care to veterans of wars in which the nation participated, not to veterans' families. The federal compensation commission may authorize hospitalization for federal employees hurt on duty, but Roanoke will mainly serve ex soldiers. Walter Reed is cited as an example of a general army hospital, with veterans and dependents treated there before transfer if needed.
