1 1 Veterans Cost May Have Hit Highest Peak WASHINGTON a.R) Veterans Administration sources believe expenditures lor veterans may never again hit the 87,805,335,201 record spent in the fiscal year ending last June 30. Administration sources expect expenditures for the 1948 fiscal year ending next Juno 30 will be close to the 86,964.000,000 ap propriated by congress.

The veterans population is in creasing gradually, but it is be lieved that the expiration of some veterans programs and curtailment of others will bring about a gradual decrease in ex penditures. It is believed that most vet erans who intend to reinstate their national service life iiv surance already have done so. Virtually all hospital construc tion funds have been provided. and the educational program, j which cost $2,000,000,000 during the last fiscal year, is expected to hit its peak next spring. Other Decreases Expected Decreases are expected also in applications for readjustment al lowance payments and other programs. ' The only item for which in creased funds will be asked next year will be for medical and home care. That request is for $624,000,000, or about $100,000, 000 more than the current year. The medical program is not ex pected to reach its peak for sev eral years. The greatest expenditures for veterans' activities after World War I came in 1922 and 1923, when about $751,000,000 was spent each year. That does not count the de pression years of 1932 and 1933, when almost every veteran elig ible for a pension or retirement pay put in his application. The annual cost then was $869,000, 000. And in 1936 when payment of the bonus jumped the expen diture to S3.839.1 20.426. Cost Fluctuate Cost of operating the veterans administration in normal years reached $1,000,000,000 until 1945, when it was $2,210,000,000. For the fiscal year 1946 it was $4,772,000,000, and then jumped to what is believed to be its peak last year. Lowered cost of operating- vet erans' programs is contingent upon legislation approved by Congress. If the American Le gion's homestead act is approv ed, the Veterans Administration will have another $2,000,000, 000 revolving fund for home loans to administer. Other bills, such as extension of the automobiles for ampix tees act expiring next July 1. could cause expenditures not now foreseen. A sharp business recession, which would prompt great num bers of ex-GI's to apply for un employment compensation un der the readjustment act, also would be a heavy drain. !

CHRISWISSER STUDIOS Dial 3909 205 S. 7th Plattsmouth Army Prepares to Pick War s Unknown Soldier WASHINGTON U.R The ar mv is making plans to select the Unknown Soldier of V7orld War II. The ceremony probably will be somewhat similar to that followed in selecting the Un-! known Soldier of World War I, whose remains rest in Arlington National Cemetery. His succes sor will follow him there. It probably will involve the selection of the remains of one Unknown Soldier from those of nine Unknown Soldiers who fell in battle in the nine major com bat areas. Selection of the Unknown Sol dier is still a long way off. It will not be done until the rro prcrfn for returning' about ?50. 000 World War II identified dead from overseas is com pleted. Mav Take Three Years The S200.000.000 program for return of identified dead is ex pected to take about three years. The selection of the Unknown Soldier of World War I was made at Chalon-sur-Mare, ! France. Oct. 23. 1921. from four ! caskets taken from the U. S. military cemeteries in Eurooe. j A sergeant, who did not know ; from which cemeterv the cas-; kets were taken, selected one by j Dialing rn it a bouquet of four Dink and four white roses. I The remains of the Unknown j Soldier were transferred to an nViFr casket and shipped to the United States. The casket containing the re mains was taken to the Canitnl and lav in state therp until Nov. 10. 1921. Then services were held in the amphitheater at Ar lington National Cemetery on Mov. 11 Armistice Dav. The Unknown Soldier was awarded the Medal of Honor and the Dis tinguished Service Cross. The nine combat areas from which the Unknown Soldier's remains will be taken for ulti mate selection of the Unknown Soldier who will reoresent all war dead are the European The ater, Far East.

Also, to check any safety regulations which they may have suggested to the owner. Fire Losses Low Chief Fitzgerald says the entire system is made possible by one thing, radio. "Without radio our men would have to stay in quarters when not fighting a fire to be in con tact with headquarters at all times," the chief says. "We now have radios in all our main equipment." Fitzgerald credits "pre-fire-planning" for the astoundingly low fire loss in Seattle. "The year we started the plan our loss was 70 per cent below the national average," Fitzgerald said.

Deaths from diseases of the heart and blood vessels are three times as high as can cer, six times as high as acci dents, eight times as high as pneumonia, and eleven times as high as tuberculosis. Heart disease is no respector of age. Jt is the leading fatal disease among children between the ages of five and 19. Rheuma tic fever and rheumatic heart di sease cause almost five times as many deaths as infantile paraly sis, whooping cough, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and cere brospinal mening-itic fever com bined. Rheumatic fever causes 40 per cent of all heart disease at all ages and 90 per cent of all heart disease in children.

It is believed to be exclusive with the Seattle fire department. Reports Detailed The system means all fire com panies not actively fighting a fire, maintaining equipment or drill ing are out inspecting buildings and layinc plans on how a fire would be fought in the structure. Homes are not inspected. After each inspection, which takes a full shift of 26 men for an average-sized building, a de tailed, 15-page report is made. It tells among many other things where the nearest fire outlets are, location of fire escapes and the order in which companies should arrive at the scene. Also, it contains a floor plan drawn by the firemen. However, this doesn't end the planning. The companies return Wm. S. WETENKAMP Real Estate and Insurance Res.
