VETERANS’ AID SLASH PLAN WOULD CUT FEDERAL TAXES $3.30 FOR EVERY CITIZEN National Economy Committee Demands Lop of $450,000,000 in Benefits Given Ex-Soldiers. MORE THAN BILLION PAID EACH YEAR BV TALCOTT POWELL Savings in veterans’ relief proposed hv the national economy committee would cut federal taxes in the coming fiscal year by $3.30 for each person in the United States. The committee, made up of the men who founded the Plattsburgh camps before the war, has petitioned President Hoover and congress for cuts of about $450,000,000 in benefits paid ex-soldiera of the World war. Not a single man who was disabled in fact during his war service or his dependents would be affected.

Only those who were not disabled in the service would have their emoluments removed. The committee’s plan simply takes veterans' relief back to the original basis established in 1917. Likened to Bit Pic If the $450,000,000 cost for veterans with nonservice-connected disabilities were equally distributed throughout the entire population and the per capita cost translated into New York retail commodity prices everj' individual in the country would be contributing 24 cans of corn. 33 loaves of bread or 65 pounds of potatoes next year to men whose claim for bounty is based solely on the lact that they once wore the uniform. So vast are the sums involved in the 1932-1933 federal budget, which has steadily increased throughout the depression, that it is difficult for any but trained mathematicians to grasp their significance. Visualize the budget as a big pie which must feed the various classes of people that make up the United States. The services, such as courts and legislative functions, which arc for the people as a whole would .nake up an ordinary slice—s3l6.383.223. National defense would take a omcwhat smaller 51ice—5694,305,800. Public works, which furnish employment to the people, would be a baby slice at $392,873,000. Interest on the public debt at $640,000,000 would also be a normal helping and principal on the debt would be a skimpy one at *496.803.400. Two Things in View But when the war veterans sit down at the table they would take - ne quarter of the whole pie from the rest of the family, or the huge : mount of $1,072,064,527. And between a half and a third of this sum is for men whose actual war service caused no disability. There are only two things in view looking toward a reduction of this large item. One is the movement to have a Joint committee of the house and senate inspect the entire fabric of veterans’ legislation and recommend changes. Political observers have little hope for results from such a move, since congress, which made the ex-

How much money should you have IN YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT? It is hard to set a maximum amount. For it varies and is dependent upon all sorts of conditions —your present earning power, your age, your investments, the size of your family, your plans for the future. The minimum is easier to determine. A safe rule, followed by thousands upon thousands of successful men and women, is to keep the equivalent of six months’ tncome in a savings account. Set this goal for yourself. Reach it. Then the emergencies which come to every man and woman will have far less effect when they head your way. And when you think of saving, remember that you probably can save more when you save conveniently —at the Fletcher Trust bank which is within easy reach of you. 4f letther frost ’JA fompamj JJlr MAIN OFFICE jHp.('!l /l! $> ft *S Northwest Corner Pennsylvania and Market Streets -i*! 3 *ll'. ft - - ■— —■ ./’ V/Vs./. y> I NORTH SIDE BRANCHh . * EST SIDE BRANCHES EAST SIDE BRANCHES | ** 5? jj KrS 1541 North Illinois Street 474 Vt ashington Street 2122 East Tenth Street n 3001 North Illinois Street 1233 Oliver Avenue 458 East ashtngton Street |.

penditure possible bv a potpourri of legislation, would then be in a position of investigating Itself. The other i r the petition of the national economy committee, of which Captain Archibald B Roosevelt. son of the late President and himself a disabled veteran, is executive secretary. The committee grew up spontaneously a .ew weeks ago. following the appearance of a series of articles on veterans’ relief in the Scripps-Howard newspapers. A group of men in New York prominent in all walks of life began discussing the growing costs of the veterans with each other and writing to friends in other cities about it. While the membership Is not restricted. at present about 70 per cent is made up of veterans of the World war. many of whom have distinguished records for gallantry in action. The movement is already spreading to other cities and plans are afoot for making it a rontinuing effort for several years if necessary. The methods of the committee are a return to the informal technique of colonial days when John Hancock. Benjamin Franklin. John Jay and Samuel Adams formed ‘committees of correspondence’ by which chain letters discussing and protesting the growing burden of taxes imposed by King George 111 were kept flowing through the colonies. Constant p°ti*ions were kept going from the various committees to the crown for years and the final result of the effort was the declaration of independence. When the Constitution was later written 1 these same men were careful to preserve "the right for citizens to petition the government for redress of grievances.” It is under the constutional provision that the present national economy committee is acting. Congress, meanwhile, has resisted to date all efforts to reduce the cast of veteran relief. It may actually add to it if the senate follows the house in passing the bill to provide pensions for widows and orphans of veterans of the World war. who die j of disabilities not connected with their service. Estimates of the cost ; of such a bill range from one to two billion dollars. The bonus which would cost over two billion dollars more, is still awaiting disposition in congress.

CONVICT SHOT BY POLICE IN FREEDOM DASH Father of 4 Had Escaped From Joliet (III.) Prison. An escaped convict lies near death today at city hospital because he failed to heed a police warning. He is George Lane, father of four children, and subject of a search in three states since he escaped April 5 from Joliet (Jll > penitentiary where he was serving a one-year-to-life sentence for robbery. A bullet from a police revolver tore through his side Sunday night when he ignored orders of police, who surrounded his home, 1079 River avenue. Detectives had watched the house for several days and Lane appeared for the first time late Sunday afternoon. Illinois authorities had warned local police that Lane "is a dangerous man.” ‘Don’t take any chances. This man is bad and will shoot to kill,” police were warned. Armed with submachine guns, tear gas bombs and revolvers, nine policemen rushed into the house from the front snd rear. They came upon Lane unawares. •’What the ft is ... ? Why howdy, officers.” Lane shouted as he leaped toward a chiffonier upon which lay an automatic pistol. “Stick ’em up.” warned a member of the squad of Lieutenant Daniel Cummings. Lane hesitated, and, unable to reach the weapon, fled toward a door leading to the front porch. Lieutenant Cummings fired. Lane groaned and crumpled into a chair. •’You’ve got the right man,” he said. “It's all over. There’s my gun.”

Kappa Tau Kappa, interfraternity council. Thc.se will announce their junior pledges at this time and the presidents of the organizations will give brief talks on the history and purposes of their groups. Wednesday will be the big day for the graduating class, as they stage their annual "mock chapel." In this the seniors take the parts of the professors on the platform and the faculty are to occupy the senior seats and to see themselves caricatured. Usually these "mock chapels” are a travesty on a former chapel or a faculty meeting. In the past, the seniors who took part were actors from the department of dramatics, and, coupled with the use of wigs and theatrical make-up. were able to give excellent portrayals of their roles. This chapel always Is crowded to capacity. Only once has the faculty retaliated by coming dressed as seniors in the typical class garb.
