BONUS PAYMENT NOT BENEFICIAL, I STATES MILLS Undersecretary Asserts Bond Issue Necessary; Costs Billion. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—What is injurious to the country can net be beneficial to World war veterans, Ogden L. Mills, undersecretary of treasury, told the New York Bond Club today in discussing veterans’ compensation proposals now before congress. “Wc have all sympathy for veterans who are unemployed or in distress,” Mills said, “and understand how under these circumstances they would look hopefully to their adjusted service certificates as a means of obtianing further ready funds, even at the sacrifice of their ultimate redemption value. “But, from the standpoint of all Ihe veterans and their families. It is not to their best interest for the government to offer all, irrespective of need, an inducement to cash their endowment policies.” Elotation of a government bond Issue of a billion dollars or more to pay off the certificates would disrupt the bond market and prolong the business depression, Mills said, citing the same objections referred to by Secretary Mellon and business leaders at recent congressional hearings. Predicting a government deficit of “not less than half a billion dollars” at the close of the current fiscal year, Mills said the treasury is not in a position to undertake flotation of such a huge bond issue except at an excessively high cost. This would result in a tax increase, he added. Mills opposed not only the plan for immediate cash retirement or the certificates, but also the compromise proposals to permit additional borrowing by veterans to the extent of about a billion dollars. Either plan would injure government finances and the bond market, he held. “It would involve complete exhaustion of the investment for a long period, the retarding of business recovery, and an inflation which would be inevitably followed by the usual retribution,” Mills said. “To impair ?,he public credit, to deepen the business depression, and to prolong unemployment is to inflict far graver injury on the 3,400,000 veterans who hold these certificates, than could ever be compensated for by the payment of a few hundred dollars to each of them.” SAMUEL MUELLER IS NEW HEAD OF BANK Walter S.

DAISY DE VOE SENT TO JAIL FOR 18 MONTHS Judge's Probation Action Prevents Parole Possibility at End of Year. By United Press LOS ANGELES. Feb. 11.—Daisy De Voe, who rose from a position as hairdresser to the role of confidante and secretary to Clara Bow, Tuesday was sentenced to serve eighteen months in the county jail cn a conviction of having stolen funds from the film star. Miss De Voe stood calm and erect, with no display of emotion, as Superior Judge William C. Dorm ordered her to the county jail for a year and a half as part of a fiveyear term of probation. As the court scored the 26-year-old blonde, her mother, Mrs. Ida De Voe, collapsed in tears and her fiance, Alfred Mathes, stood as though stunned. Judge Doran decreed that Miss De Voe must serve a substantial jail Ljntence as an example to others. He spoke deliberately as he reviewed the sentence, telling Miss De Voe that she had made systematic raids on Miss Bow's funds and that while, if given complete probation, she probably never would get in trouble again, she must be punished. The court's sentence was regarded as severe. Had he sentenced Miss De Voe to the state penitentiary for a period of from one to ton years as provided by law’, she would have been eligible for parole at the end of a year. By granting probation today. Judge Doran blocked an appeal from judgment. At the last moment, Attorney William Beirne attempted to withdraw a plea for probation, but the court denied his motion. Asa result, Miss De Voe's only chance to avoid the long jail term rests on her appeal from Judge Doran's ruling of last week in which he denied her motion for anew trial.

SMOKE WILL BE MISSING FROM CITY OF FUTURE Engineers’ Exposition Gives Chicagoans View of Science's Marvels. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 11.—A city of the future—without windows, furnaces, a smoke nuisance, hot or cold waves was visioned today by leading engineers at the annual midwestern enginering and power exposition. Each person already has the equivalent of 900 slaves at his call through development of power resources and an enormous increase will be brought about, the engineers believe. Devices on display at the exposition could carry into actuality all these innovations and refinement of many of them is only in the infancy, G. E. Pfister, director of the show, said. “The first windowless buildings now are being constructed,” Pfister explained. "Ventilation is controlled more easily in this type of structure and purer and better air can be supplied. Lighting is made uniform and the benefits of sunlight
can be obtained artificially by use of ultra-violet ray lamps.” High temperature hot water heaters warm the air to proper temperatures on each floor, eliminating the radiators and piping. “Furnaces can be eliminated,” Pfister said. “Energy loss has been eliminated and a single plant can supply an area a mile square more efficiently than individual furnaces. “No city need have a pall of smoke any longer. Furnaces which eliminate smoke through burning all soot and thus obtaining greater energy per ton of coal have been developed. Low grade coal which formerly was thrown into dumps can be consumed.” \V. H. Carrier, Newark, N. J., told that through central refrigerating plants, refrigeration now can be piped through city streets, just as water, gas and electricity.

FRENCH READY FOR NAVY RACE WITH ITALIANS Program Calls for Speedy Construction of New Type Warships. By United Press PARIS, Feb. ll.—The French naval building program for 1931-32 has been completed for submission to the chamber of deputies late this week, asking for speedy construction of half a dozen formidable warships of the latest fighting type. The program, which totals 42.000 tons of projected ships, and definitely ends the “naval building truce” with Italy as a result of failure of negotiations between the two countries for a limitation agreement, was described as follows: One battle cruiser, a supership of 23,300 tons which will outclass the new "pocket battleship” 111)0 built by Germany. It will have a high speed and carry heavy armaments. A light cruiser of 7.000 tons. A light cruiser of 6,500 tons. A destroyer of the latest type, about 2,400 tons. A “super-submarine,” considered by French experts to be the most modern underwater craft ever constructed. It will be of 2.800 tons.
