More than 17,000 government
checks to Texas veterans were re-
turned in the period January
through May because of faulty
addresses, the Veterans Aministra-
tion reported this week.
Although this was only one per-
cent of the 1,739,738 issued in
Texas during that time, VA em-
phasized the hardships caused
many veterans and the additional
work load resulting from the re
turns.
Principal cause of the returns
was veterans moving and falling
to give the VA a notice of change
of address. In all such cases,
VA must verify correct addresses
before the checks can he remailed.
Most negligent in notifying VA
of changes of address w e r e
World W 'ur II veterans taking on-
the job training or going to school.

« Traffic Cod* Not to
I Stop Hitchhiking
AUSTIN. — Contrary to inac-
curate reports, the new Uniform
Traffic Code does not prohibit
hitchhiking, George Clarke, man-
aging director of the Texas Safe-
ty Association, said today in Aus-
tin.
The Code, which goes into ef-
fect Sept. fl, was supported by the
Texas Safety association and 58
statewide cooperating groups in
recent session of the legislature
as a safety measure.
The two-line subsection of the
traffic code pertaining to hitch-
hikers reads:
"No person shall stand In a
roadway for the purpose of solic-
iting a ride from the driver of anv
vehicle."
A roadway is defined in the bill
as "that portion of the highway
improved, designed or ordinarily
used for vehicular travel . . ."
The bill defines a highway as
"the entire width between the
boundary lines of every way pub-
licly maintained when any part
thereof Is open to the use of the
vehicular
surplus in t'he Grand Prairie region
during June a all other classe
of buyers, according to the
monthly report of the War A- ets
\dinini.tration. Retailers were
second high among the buyers,
with purcha.-es totaling $1,011,-
000, and government and non pro
•fit institutions, industrial u ers and
veterans followed in the order
named. Average return to the
government netted 15.K per cent ''ran
of the ;><'<|Uisit on cost of the pre- honu
vious month of May. Total sales
for ('he month of June were on
property originally valued at
201,000
turns were subsistence payments.
As a result of the study, VA has
made some administrative changes
which it is expected will help elimi-
nate some of t'he returns.
Hut the principal factor in elim-
inating returned check- still is the
veteran himself, VA said. Vet-
eran. must keep paying offices ad-
vised of their correct and current
address to receive prompt and
efficient' service.
I other

ices for ampute( the blind and I
phy- ically handicapped vet -
ill be brought closer to their
towns through prosthetic
appliance units in each of VA's
1M branch office- and regional
offices.
V A aid il is setting the unit up
travel."
Clarke emphasized that the bill
does not forbid any person to
stand on the shoulder of the road
for the purpose of soliciting a ride
from a driver.
H. said that it is a prevalent
practice in the state for hitchhik-
ers to' statin on the concrete or
corrugated surface of the road,
and that this action constitutes a
definite hazard to the hitchhiker,
as well as to traffic.
Penalties for violations of the
act range from ?! to $200.
