Newhall, California department commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, who declares that the number of "penniless war veterans" in this state is increasing rapidly and that demands for relief are skyrocketing. The VFW chief said he will all out-of-state veterans to disall out-of-state veterans to discharge centers nearest their homes. This, he said, is the only method whereby California can hold its unemployment to a minimum. "Out-of-state veterans are paid off, given transportation money and left to get to their homes," he declared. "While waiting for train, plane or bus reservations, many of these boys, lonesome and eager for a good time, fall in with questionable characters, who either aid them to spend their pay and transportation money or rob them of it. Penniless and alone, many of them do not have the price of a meal or a telegram to relatives or friends for funds to take them home. As a result, many are jobless and without funds."
