New Plan to Fix Compensation of Vets Announced Men Considered as Stationary in Improvement to Go Be fore Special Board for Examination. Washington, July 25.—An order giving a more stable compensation status to disabled former service men was announced today by Director Hines of the Veterans’ bureau. Under the new plan, which affects men whose condition indicates that their disability has reached a station ary level and cannot be benefited by further hospital treatments, each of the veterans, at his next regular ex amination, will go before p special board of three medical officers, who will attempt to determine the extent of disability on a more or less per manent basis and will fix the status of compensation for a period of two years. At present a new examination is required every 90 days. If dissatisfied with the gradings given them, veterans will have the privilege of a re-examination at any time. Director Hines explained that the purpose of the permanent partial dis ability rating was to relieve men of the inconvenience of 90-day re-exam inations and at the same time to en able them to rely on a definite com pensation over a long period. Men still in hospitals with hope n. further improvement remain under the regulations now in force. The director also announced that as another efficiency step he was considering employment of business executivesto assist the commanding officers of Veterans’ bureau hospi tals. ^^He said a careful study of the hos ^^pitals had indicated the need of such executives, particularly in view of the large amounts of money expended. Sixteen of the bureau’s hospitals are expending $500,000 or more a year and 14 others are handling around $350,000 a year.
