VETERANS’ AID BILL IS FOUGHT BY 2 SENATORS Reed and Bingham Declare Some Benefits Are Indefensible. By Bcripps-U award Xcwspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, June 19.—The senate probably will pass the World war veteran's bill today, but not until after a fight has been made against the measure by some senators. Senators David a Reed of Pennsylvania and Hiram Bingham of Connecticut, both overseas veterans, will seek to amend the measure and to curtail its benefits. Reed regards the bill, in its present shape, as “indefensible.” Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, veteran chairman of the finance committee, announced his opposition to the measure because it proposes to award pensions of SIOO a month to veterans who have disabilities incurred by reason of misconduct. Senator Walsh fDem., Mass.) warned that the measure is “opening the door to a flood of new legislation, extending widely the relief of veterans.” Senator Smoot argued that the bill is discriminatory to many veterans suffering from non-service connected disabilities, and is unjust in comparison to Civil and Spanish war veterans. "It is indeed a sad state of affairs when the United States government pays a man compensation or pension for diseases acquired as a result of his own vicious habits,” said Smoot. Senator Copeland inquired, “What does the senator propose to do with the blind, the paralyzed and the helpless, no matter how the disease was acquired, what is he going to do with the poor devil who is af- ' flicted that way?” Copeland insisted that the government is responsible.

UTILITIES MAY INSIST ON STATE CODE USE Ogden Rules on Installation of Power in Rural Stations. Without “undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage,” public utilities may insist that electrical installations in rural districts and small towns meet the state building code and regulations of the state fire marshal’s office. This ruling was made by Attor-ney-General James M. Ogden today in an opinion to Secretary J. H. Owens of the administrative building council of Indiana. “I am of the opinion that public utilities of the state may make such reasonable regulations as to the refusal of service connections if the refusal does not result in unreasonable or unjust discrimination,” the attorney-general’s opinion states. The state building code he terms “reasonable regulation.” PRESIDENT OF CUBA TO FACE MURDER CHARGE Result of Raid on Meeting in Which Four Persons Were Killed. B'l United Pres* HAVANA. June 19—Charges of murder have been filed here against President Gerardo Machado of Cuba as a result of the raid on a. meeting at Artmisa last May when four persons were killed and eighteen wounded. The charges were filed by the Nationalist party, whose meeting was raided by police and broken up. The military c mmander at Artemisa originally was charged with murder in connection with the affair, but the charges were thrown out of court when President Machado assumed full responsibility for the incident. It was expected the charges would be heard shortly at a secret session of the Cuban supreme court. URGrBEACH REDUCTION McClure and Warfleigh Resorts Not Used Enough, Says Emhardt. Suggestion that McClure and Warfleigh bathing beaches on White river be abandoned, was made by Adolph Emhardt, park board member, to Mayor Reginald Sullivan today. The proposal was made after David Kilgore, city recreation director, sought sirens and floodlights for the beaches as precautionary measure against possible drow-nings. Emhardt said the beaches are not used sufficiently to warrant maintenance and asserted a pool should be built in Riverside park. Honorary Degrees Awarded Ru United Pres* CAMBRIDGE. Mass., June 19. S.

A to Z Where Nature’s Most Hurfian, at ‘General Delivery’ in Postoffice.

BY ARCH STEINEL “ \ to K” and "L to Z” one A. reads over two windows at the postoffice. “A to K.” hum-m! A may stand for anger and “K” for kiss. "L to Z” and one may conjure love or someone sending a dun for a zebra. And those trance-like thoughts may be the truth as they are handed out in letter form from the two alphabetical windows in the postoffice known far and wide as; “general delivery.” If a hunt were to oe made for a spot where everyone on earth might come sometime in life, that spot would be at the general delivery windows. Red-lipped chorines, bulbousnosed business men, gents and gyps, truck-drivers and truckfarmers, they come to get their missives with.” Anything for me today?” The clerk riffles . through a packet of letters and nods a “No.” And the window’s most popular expression is heard, “Aw-w.” a u a SHE had a snippy, turned-up nose. She approached the “A to K” window as if it were Limburger cheese. "I want to know if John gets any mail here,” she demanded. “Sorry, it’s against the rules for us to give out information regarding mail,” courteously replied the clerk under O. L. Hittle, foreman of the general delivery. “Well, it’s a fine how-do-you-do when a wife can’t find out where her husband gets his mail. I’ll— I’ll—,” and off she spluttered. a a a IT was the day’s busiest time for “L to Z, 12 p. m. to 2 p. m. His face wore a worried look. His trousers did too. “Isn’t there anything for me yet?” The clerk's head shook negatively. The man looked around wearily. “I won’t come no more. I'm leaving.” Maybe he was a wandering husband tired of the road and wanting home. Maybe it was money he was looking for. Maybe it was an illicit word from a “twotiming” wife. u tt n "TTSTOMEN use the general deVV livery more than men,” declares Hittel. “But there’s a reason for that, for women write more letters,” he says. ‘Our worst trouble is with young flappers who have a crush on someone. We have to stop them receiving their mail here. But it’s not as bad as it used to be, that is, the clandestine affairs carried on by mail. You can tell them. “They’ve got that worried secret look and they come as high as six times a day for their letters,” he said. Blind Broom Maker Dies Bu Time* Special BURLINGTON, Ind., June 19.
