Excerpts from Group Publications

Central Bulletin, Cleveland, Ohio:--"It is with an increasing feeling of alarm that we view current statements in the press. . .on the rehabilitation of the returning veteran. Why? Because there is little or no reference to alcoholism. In official circles the term 'alcoholic' is taboo. We were told by a representative of the Veterans' Administration that alcoholism is classified under misconduct; and that neither have any provisions been made for the care of alcoholics, nor is there any legislation allowing disability pensions for those unfortunates whose case history includes a reference to alcohol."
