Wednesday, January 29, 1947 Page Five ARIZONA DAILY SUN, flagstaff, THIS CURIOUS WORLD By WILLIAM FERGUSON It Won't Be Long Now Women Vets Eligible For Medical Benefits Former GI Janes not only are eligible for all the benefits granted their male counterparts, but they are one up on their khaki clad and seagoing brothers. Women veterans, unlike men, may receive private hospitalization for non-service connected disabilities when VA facilities are not available. This is a privilege given to male veterans only when they are suffering from disabilities incurred or aggravated by their service in the armed forces. This additional benefit was given to women veterans by an executive order in 1933, when existing VA hospitals did not have adequate accommodations for the women who served during World War I. The VA hospital at Phoenix has a special waid set aside for the care of women veteians, but the privilege of private hospitalization elsewhere in the state may still be authoi lzed when necessary.
