RELIEF GATES OPENED WIDE FOR VETERANS Disability Allowance Is Given for Defects Dating From Birth. Major development have taken plate In the veterans' relief situation since Talcott Powell wrote a series of stories for The Times several months ago. They are expected to have important hearings on the government's future policy. To explain these developments and their probable effects. Powell has written a series of three more stories of which this is the second. BY TALCOTT POWELL Times Staff Writer Veterans suffering from crosseyes, near-sightedness, far-sighted-ness, inferiority complexes, and defects they have had from birth have been added to the pension pay roll as eligible for disability allowance. This form of compensation permits a former soldier of the World war to receive from $l2 to $40 a month for permanent disability received in civilian life years after the armistice. A veteran run over by a taxicab today or contracting tuberculosis next week is eligible for this compensation. Just as though his disability had resulted from the hardships of war. The only requirement is that he shall have paid no income tax in the year previous to his injury. This form of veterans’ relief is mounting most rapidly, both in cost and number of cases. 400,000 on Pay Roll There now are more than 400,000 men on this pay roll. The United States had a total casualty list of 327,883 individuals wounded and dead from all causes during the conflict. There are fewer than 350,000 men and women veterans being compensated for disabilities directly connected with their war service under the most liberal interpretation of what really constitutes service-con-nected disability. In February, 1931, there were 115,248 veterans getting these disability allowances, at a cost of $3,234,714 a month. The following February the figures had mounted to 353,744 men, costing $6,618,541 a month. On June 1 last there were 396,000 individuals on this pay roll at a monthly cost not yet made public by the veterans’ administration. The figures still are soaring. The provisions of this disability allowance law further were liberalized by the veterans’ administration when on May 16 last, Administrative Regulation 2006 became effective. Gates Are Opened This regulation stated: “Eye defects resulting from myopia (short sight), strabismus (cross-eyes), presbyopia (far sight), diplopia (double sight) producing defects of visual acuity uncorrectable to 20-40 by proper lenses hereafter will be regarded as disability, for disability allowance purposes, though not resulting from disease or injury. “Similarly, in proper cases, mental deficiency and constitutional psychopathic inferiority may be regarded as disability, for disability allowance purposes. “Disability allowance also may be based upon defects other than the above, even though of congenital origin, if there is convincing evidence of reduction in ability to earn a support.” The regulation adds that pensions shall be paid only when these disabilities exist in a pronounced form. Experts point out that the possibilities in this regulation are enormous. Easy for Veterans The average age of a World war veteran today is 40. As the exsoldiers grow older, eye defects will grow more numerous, and more serious. Constitutional psychopathic inferiority is one of the common concomitants of criminality. Giving pensions for congenital defects—disabilities which existed at birth—means simply that men are receiving taxpayers', money for something which happened long before anybody even knew there was going to be a World war. There is nothing in the law to indicate that such was the intent of congress when it passed the Disability Allowance Act in 1930.

Traveler Paints Russia as ‘Land of No Worry’

But Communism Has No Use for Loafers, Says Hiker Visitor. “Land of no worries” is the description of Russia under Soviet rule given by John Lavich. world hiker and sociologist-at-large, who left Indianapolis today for St. ] Louis. Lavich, who arrived here Monday from Columbus, 0., spent considerable time in Russia, but becoming disgusted with Communism for what he terms its dictatorial policy, started a hike around the world to gather material lor books he intends to write. A Russian has no cause for worry, Lavich explained, because he is assured of employment and j being cared for in sickness and old age. If he contracts an unhappy j marriage, neither the law nor pres- | sure of social usage prevents him from ending the union. Doesn’t Make Loafers Communism does not make loafers, according to Lavich. A Russian workman who failes to perform his full share, loses his union ticket and, automatically, his job. Under such circumstances, existence almost is impossible. He asserts the charge that Russia spreads Communist propaganda is false, holding the nation has no interests outside its own borders. Whatever propaganda is spread is the work of the Third International, in which Russia holds membership, Lavich asserts, adding that “unfortunately the headquarters of the Third National are in Moscvow.” No Restriction on Art There is no restriction on art in the Soviet regime, Lavich continued, except that an individual must not be placed in the limelight, but the workers, as a whole, honored. Lavich was born in Russia but came to America when he was 8. He worked as a miner in Alaska and made a trip- to Australia. On his return, he engaged in social welfare work 'at Chicago, being associated with Jane Addams, founder of Hull House. He is a graduate of Northwestern university. Central and South America will be visited by Lavich next winter. GIRL'CUT ~IN COLLISION One Car Is Overturned; Drivers Escape Injury.

A Bad Move By l nited Press PASADENA. Cal.. Aug. 2. Mrs. E. D. Downey had ample facilities for moving but no place to move. Eight large moving vans backed to'the curb in front of her residence here while a dozen drivers and helpers wrangled angrily on the front lawn. Each member of the mob insisted his company had been hired to move the Downey furniture. Police began a search for a practical jokester who ordered every transfer company in the city to have a van in front of the Downey home at 8:30 in the morning.

BY WILLIAM E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League I BELIEVE that the most serious mistakes made by even the better players are trick openings and socalled ‘fancy shots.” If you are' a good player, why not open a hand normally, so your partner can read it? Your opponent can not steal tricks from you if you play your cards properly, and while it is true that you may pick up an occasional extra trick with an unconventional opening, more often you will lose two or three, tricks.

HOLD 3 IN SHOOTIHG Man Is Wounded; Arrested With Wife, Landlord. One man is in city hospital and he and two other persons, including his wife, face vagrancy charges as a result of a shooting reported Monday night at the home of Francis Moody, 1447 East Seventeenth street. John Franklin, who lives with his wife Margaret, at the home of Moody, is suffering from shotgun wounds in the legs. He said he was shot while on the front porch by a man he does‘not know. The Franklins and Moody were arrested. Slugged in Row Over 15 Cents Argument over 15 cents led to a fight in which Beatrice Jewell. 23, of 722 North Senate avenue, received a cut on the head, she tcld police Monday night, after they found her lying in the street in front of her home.

board. At both tables South opened the bidding with one no trump, all passed. The Play At one table the normal opening lead was made by West—the fourth best diamond. While the club suit is headed with an ace, most players against a no trump rather would conserve this ace as a re-entry and try to establish a trick in diamonds. With the three of diamond opening, East would play the queen and South would win the trick with the ace. His proper play would be to lead the eight of hearts and play the queen from dummy. East would win with the ace and would then lead his ten of diamonds, South would win this with the king and his next play would be the king of hearts, followed by the ten of hearts on which West signaled with the seven of clubs. East won the trick with the jack, and now in response to his partner’s 1 signal, East cashed his king and queen of clubs before leading the diamond. He then played a diamond, West winning with the eight and then cashing his jack. West then cashed his ace of clubs. His next play was a spade, East winning with the ace. In this manner, South took only five tricks and his contract was defeated two tricks. As East and West held 30 aces, South was minus 130 on the board. Now' against the team that won the championship, the contending West player decided to make a short suit opening and led the nine of hearts. A short suit opening always -is dangerous, and proved so in this case. East won the trick with the ace. which immediately established three heart tricks for the declarer. East came back with his spade suit, which the declarer allowed to ride to his queen and here again the declarer is sure of another spade trick—the king. These two first tricks by the opponents assured the declarer of making three hearts, two spades, and two diamonds—seven tricks in all—for one no trump, and while the opposition held the 30 aces. South in this case was minus only 20 points o ntne board. His opponents, when they played the hand, weer minus 130, therefore he won the board by 110 points, all due to a fancy shot’’ opening that did not work. (Copyright, 1932. NEA Service. Inc.) AVERT BLAST IN CRASH By United Pres* EVANSVILLE.

DRIVERS MUST PAY FINES, CITY JUDGEJDECIDES Ownership of Car Proof of Financial Standing, Rules Cameron. In addition to possession of licenses and gasoline, operation of an automobile in the city now requires sll in ready cash, according to policy adopted by Municipal Judge Clifton P. Cameron in handling traffic ordinance violation cases Monday. Cameron's attitude in several cases was that possession and operation of an automobile is proof of ability to pay fines assessed in court. After scathing lectures in answer to pleas of poverty. Cameron suspended one fine and extended time of payment for two other violators. Makes Plea in Court Charles Dawson. 1218 N. La Salle street, charged with failure to stop at a preferential street, was fined $1 and costs. After a consultation with the bailiff he again appeared before the bench with the plea he only had $lO. “Your honor, I have been out of work for three years.” Dawson said. “My mother is sick and 1 was on my way home to prepare her dinner when I was arrested. I never have been in court before. When I came down here, I took $lO of my mother's money in case I was fined.” “But you have an automobile,” Cameron stated. For a few minutes it appeared that the recent case of a man committed to fourteen hours in jail for lack of 30 cents to complete payment of his fine would be duplicated. Cameron relented, however, and suspended the finq, after a lecture. Speeders Are Warned Giving his trade as a carpenter, Oscar Baker. 632 Warren avenue, fined sl2 and costs, a total of $22, for speeding, told the court the gasoline used by him was purchased by a friend. The automobile is used in his work, he said. He was given three months in which to pay the fine. Three months’ probation was given Norman Ford. 713 East Vermont street, who was fined $1 and costs. “People who have money for auto- ! mobiles can’t expect to break the law and then come into this court expecting leniency because they haven’t money to pay,” Cameron stated. “It’s been too easy for some of these fellows. A set days in jail and they might change their minds about some things.”

GEN. COXEY REFUSED HELP BY SHIPSTEAD Farmer-Labor Party in Minnesota Ignores His Candidacy. By Scripps-Kaward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.—“ General” Jacob S. Coxey will campaign for the presidency on the FarmerLabor ticket without the support of Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota, the senate’s only Farmer-Labor member. Shipstead made this clear today when he learned of the eleven-day, 2,000-mile campaign through the west planned by the 78-year-old mayor of Massillon, Q., who in 1894 led his famous “army” to Washington. “I’m mighty careful whom I underwrite,” said Shipstead, in response to a question about his support in the coming presidential battle. His statement summed up the attitude of his party, which in the past has avoided alliances with weak and abortive third party movements in the northwest. U.

MILLS BROTHERS TO OPEN HERE FRIDAY

Richard Dix Is Said tc Reach New Acting Heights in “Roar of the Dragon,” Booked at Circle. FOR one week starting Friday, the Circle theater offers on its stage. in person, the Mills Brothers, sensations of the radio. On the screen with this stage attraction. Richard Dix will appear in his newest and one of his greatest hits, “Roar of the Dragon.” The Mills Brothers are unquestionably the moat unique of entertainers. There are but four of them and yet, without the aid of any musical instrument whatever excepting for one guitar, these youngsters perfectly simulate such musical instruments as the French horn, tuba, clarinet and trumpet so that even expert musicians have been fooled. During their extensive radio engagements thousands of letters and

telephone calls demanded to know if they really were getting such| musical effects without the aid of instruments. Such skepticism is only natural for they can simulate an entire orchestra to such a remarkable degree that when one watches them in the theater it is only necessary to clase 1 the eyes to believe that an orchestra is occupying the stage instead of just four singers. At their appearances hefe next week the Mills Brothers will offer a varied program of popular numbers selected from the most popular of their repertoire as well as introducing some new numbers. In “Roar of the Dragon.” Richard Dix is said to achieve even greater heights than he did in “Cimarron,” “The Lost Squadron” and other of his most outstanding productions. Asa leading lady in this thrillpacked drama, Dix has Gwili Andre, young Danish actress who created <i sensation in Hollywood even before the release of her first picture. Tall, slender, and with a striking blonde beauty, Miss Andre is a perfect foil for Dix in this spirited film. Edward ■ Everett Horton, Zasu Pitts, Arline Judge and Dudley Diggs have important roles in this picture directed by Wesley Ruggles The remainder of the program will consist of short reels and a Paramount News Weekly, n a tt Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Blonde Captive” at the Palace, “War Correspondent” at the Indiana, “Madame Racketeer” at the Circle, and "The First Year” at the Apollo.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Voters of Missouri will decide in the primary election today whether the “Show Me” state will elect a Governor, United States senator and congressional delegation handpicked by Tom Pendergast, veteran Democratic boss of Kansas City. Pendergast's efforts to obtain complete control of state politics has precipitated one of the most bitter conflicts in years, especially as the thirteen winners of the Democratic nominations to congress must run at large. e Pendergast’s candidate for Governor is Francis Wilson, and his senatorial favorite is Charles Howell. Wilson is opposed by Senator Russell Dearmont. The senatorial race is a threecornered fight. Charles M. Hay, Democratic progressive, is giving Howell a hard fight, and Bennett Clark, son of the late Champ Clark, once Speaker of the house, is rolling up strength in the closing hours.

ONCE-FAMOUS SONG WRITER DIESDERELICT ‘Looking at World Through Rose Colored Glasses’ Made Fortune. By United Press CHICAGO. Aug. 2.—Tommie Malie. who wrote the song. “Looking at the World Through Rose-Colored Glasses,” and then spent most of his life in flophouses so dismal that the rosiest of glasses wouldn't have helped, died in the charity ward of the county hospital Monday. Even while he died at 35 from a complication of ailments, friends of other happier days were searching for him in North Clark street hobo centers. They had collected a generous fund, made arrangements for his care in a sanitarium far from Chicago. After Tommie had written that, and the money began flowing to him in an apparently endless stream, he wrote “Highways Are Happy Ways,” which added to his wealth. Other popular songs followed in quick succession, including “Jealous” and “Stars Are the Windows of Heaven.” He was worth approximately SIOO,OOO. said his friends, and then his money went to his head. JHe married a pretty Chicago cabaret entertainer. The bright lights of Randolph street, and the ornate speakeasies on the near north side began to see much of him. Things didn’t stay rosy long. Tommie’s wife left him. All his money went for fancy automobiles, ornate wardrobes and liquor. Soon Tommy found that ha was a derelict.
