Veterans who draw a pension or who served in a war theatre will be able to receive treatment for non-pensionable disabilities in vet erans' hospitals by paying rates calculated on their income. The government will continue to pay the full cost of treatment for all pensionable disabilities.

Treatment will be free in vet- erans’ hospitals for veterans earn- ing less than $800 a year if single. $1,200 a year if married. if their income is higher. the% will pay costs on a percentage aais up to one per cent of their income for each 8l00 of income above $800 and $1,200. Allowances will be made for dependent children and wages lost due to illness.

Veterans who earn less than 8800 or 81.200 now receive free treat- ment for non-pensionable disabili- ties but those earning more’ than (tiheae amounts must pay $12.55 a ay.

Plan To Make Hospital Care Cheaper For Veterans Announced In Commons

example. is married veteran draw- ing a pcnsion or who served in a war theatre. having two children and earning $50 a week. would pay no more than $45 for two months‘ hospital care and a m nnth's convalescence. Similar treatment in a civilian hospital would cost $600 apart from doctor's fees and extra services.

The new scheme is already in force. It is cmbodled in an order- ln-council passed two weeks ago.

Mr. Lapointe said the new reg- ulations will result in almost 100 per cent bed occupancy in veter- ans‘ hospitals across Canada. Bed occupancy at the end of April was 7.935 out of a total of 0.974 beds available. Bed occupancy was us- ually higher in mid-winter.

Bevan Would Be Red If In China

CARDIFF, Wales (AP)-Aneurin Bevan said Saturday he would be a Communist if he lived in China. The 56-year-old Labor MP told a rally of South Wales minors: “if the South Wales miners were in China they would be Chinese Communists. Of course you would. I know I would be."

Bevan tossed out the remark in the midst of an attack on Ameri- can pollcy toward Red China. "We think the Chinese are en- titled to have their revolution if they want it." he said. ,

"I am not preaching antf>Ameri- canism." he added. "I don't believe in it. I don't believe a socialist should be anti any nation. There are many millions of Americans who think as we do."
