ONLY ONE MEAGER CHANCE IS LEFT TO COT VETERANS' COSTS IN PRESENT SESSION Attempt of House Group to Slash Payments TO Per Cent Lost, Larger Economies by Senate Seem Improbable. BV RUTH FINNEY Time* Stiff Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—With only one meager chance left to cut veterans’ costs, the joint congressional committee on veterans will conclude its public hearings next Wednesday and begin the task of preparing a report and recommendations. It hopes to present its report after two weeks, just ten flays before the session ends. The senate may receive the report before it acts on the independent offices appropriation bill, carrying, as it passed the house Friday, $066,800,000 for veterans, which is $lB,-

000,000 more than this year. Action by the senate now is the one possibility of cutting this appropriation, composing more than a fourth of I he annual budget for 1934. An attempt in the house appro- j priations committee to save S6O.- ! 000.000 by reducing all payments to veterans 10 per cent was voted 1 down, and was not presented on j ihe floor of the house for further consideration. The larger economies, amounting to almost half a million dollars, proposed by the National Economy League and other organizations, can not be accomplished without passage of legislation which seems impossible at this session. May Cut Total Some The senate, however, probably j will be asked to vote to reduce the total by 5 per cent. Senator Sam G. Bratton i Dem., N. M.), has announced that he will make this proposal in regard to all appropriation bills. Donald A. Hobart, vice commander of the American Veterans’ Association, presented one of the last arguments for reduction in the annual veteran budget at a hearing Friday. Hobart's organization, composed entirely of ex-service men out of sympathy with “the money-grasping tendencies of certain organized majorities,- ’ was formed last September, and since then has spread to forty-five state and .635 cities. "We believe that the act of May 19, 1924, to provide adjusted compensation for veterans of the World war was an honest and sincere effort on the part of the government to compensate veterans for financial loss, which they have suffered by reason of their service, and was accepted as such by the majority of veterans,’’ said Hobart. Staggering Burden Faced "If the certificates were to be paid at. the present time at their face value this would require payment of a sum representing approximately twelve times the amount now’ set aside annually for the eventual payment of the certificates, and thus immediately impose a staggering burden on the treasury with the consequent added burden of taxation. Hobart also urged on behalf of his organization that, laws giving benefits to veterans, who suffered no disability from war service should be repealed. Quoting from figures submitted by Director-General Frank T. Hines of t he veterans bureau Hobart pointed out that at the end of September 1932 "there were 334,173 World w j ar veterans drawing compensation for war-incurred disabilities, whereas there were 431.103 World war veterans drawing disability allowances for disabilities in no way connected with their war service. BURIAL RITES FIXED Auto Crash Victim to Be Buried Monday at Hebrew Cemetery.

‘NOTHING DONE; CONGRESS ENO DRAWING NEAR Even Appropriation Bills May Have to Wait for Special Session. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Short session congressional prospects were confused today, with only four weeks to go, and almost nothing accomplished. Beer and farm relief may have to be jettisoned from the program. Some senators believe even the regular appropriation bills must wait for the special spring session. Emergency relief for debtors through bankruptcy legislation has a chance for adoption—but only a chance. "Buy American" amendments and dispute over further economy are delaying senate disposition of the treasury-postoffice appropriation bill —and there are nine more supply bills to come. Senators appear bewildered by problems assailing them. A hurry call for advice went by telegraph Thursday to upward of fifty leaders of business, finance and publishing. They are to appear Feb. 13 and thereafter before the senate finance committee. If the witnesses can suggest how the hungry may be fed, how debtors may pay their debts or how the depression may be ended, the senators will be glad to hear about it. There are symptoms of buck passing on Capitol Hill. After years of inability to deal with the problem itself, congress is going to hand President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt the responsibility for consolidating or abolishing federal agencies. In another abandonment of congressional prerogatives the senate Thursday voted to authorize the treasury secretary and the post-master-general to reduce expenditures in their departments next fiscal year by 5 per cent below any economies specifically ordered by congress. "Quick Action’’ is w'hat many persons call Times Want Aas. They cost less than those in any other paper in the city.

Medical, Nursing Care Urged for Unemployed

Necessary to Maintain U. S. Health Standard, Congress Told. Bit Rcrippx-Moicartl Xcwftpaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—ls the present level of national health is to be maintained, relief expenditures for the unemployed must include provisions for medical and nursing care, Dr. Haven Emerson of Columbia university’s institute of public health, has warned congress. Asa result of his appeal to the senate manufactures committee, the Costigan-La Follette relief bill may be amended to include specific provisions for this work. Dr, Emerson explained to the committee that statistics showing a lower death rate during the last three years largely are due to the fact that industrial accidents and industrial disease have fallen off rapidly as fewer men were employed. At the same time enforced moderation in foods and drinks, less extreme forms of recreation and less travel on the highways have helped out the death rate. However, Dr. Emerson went on to question "whether this unprecedented excellence of the national health as reflected in low death rates is due to a uniform

ROOSEVELT TO WORK FAST ON ! NEW JOBS PLAN Tennessee Basin Experiment to Be Extended Quickly Over U. S., Is Pie BY RAY TUCKER. Time* Staff Writer WARM SPRINGS. Feb. 4.—Fairly prompt application of his experiment in the development of natural resources in the Ohio and Arkansas valleys was promised byb PresidentElect Franklin D. Roosevelt today, if early tests in the Tennessee basin prove it entirely practicable. Mr. Roosevelt said these new exi periments might be conducted as soon as within three years. He does j not intend to wait until completion of the Tennessee project, provided studies and preliminary work in coordinating reforestation, reclamation, agricultural development and power production show it is feasible on a large scale. Flood Prevention Data The President-Elect pointed out that work on the little Miami river in Ohio which flooded Dayton in 1913, had furnished considerable data for his larger project. He said ! it was "the largest successful project" in flood control, and offered a central unit for carrying out the other phases of his plan. Just a Muscle Shoals in Alabama provides a power basis and data on that phase of the plan, so the little Miami project has supplied information for the prevention of floods. It is the co-ordination of these and other features which make Mr. Roosevelt’s scheme, a-s he puts it, “the widest experiment in natural resources ever undertaken by government.” Inspired by the nation-wide reception to his announcement, Mr. Roosevelt divulged additional details. He said the preliminary studies would require less than one year, and that field work on some phases could begin soon after he I takes office. While awaiting these developments. he may submit to congress |an outline of his project. The re- | action on Capitol hill has been exceptionally favorable. | The south’s reception of the an- ; nouncement of the Tennessee basin plan has been remarkable. It has 1 supplanted local political and social topics as the chief conversation in surrounding cities, even though this section of Georgia lies only on the edge of the project.

STRIKING CHANGE IN TIMES-UNIVERSAL REEL

The Indianapolis Times-Universal Newsreel has inaugurated a striking innovation in presentation of newsreel subject-matter, starting with the current issue, now showing on local screens. Instead of the customary print type headlines, introducing each subject, the new development uses moving words, similar to a traveling electric sign. The date-lines and brief headings move across the screen like huge letters of brilliant electric bulbs against a dark sky. The new method introducing news pictures is the creation of Allyn Butterfield, editor of the newsreel, who calls it giant travel-type. A number of advantages are claimed for it, including better legibility, due to the larger letters now possible. The words move slowly enough for any one to read easily and are large enough to be seen from the back row of any theater. Also, the moving heads give a "news flash” impression and are considered more in keeping with the action shown in the newsreel than the former printed headlines. The idea is expected to be a welcome novelty to theater-goers, marking an outstanding improvement in the newsreel field, in which notable changes are infrequent. The Indianapolis Times-Universal Newsreel, in taking this forward step, again establishes its reputation for progressiveness. It was this reel which first introduced voice descriptions of news events, signing Graham McNamee, noted radio announcer, as the screen’s Talking Reporter.

Asserting that under present laws it is impossible to obtain a correct listing of intangible property in the state, the convention of county as-' sessors, meeting with the state tax; board at the Claypool, Friday passed resolutions asking for legislative aid. f The convention expressed itself as j being in "absolute accord with Gov- j ernor Paul McNutt in his present stand on taxation of intangible property.” No change in the inheritance tax’ law was recommended at the con- j ference. Assessors were urged toj make special efforts to list all I pianos, radios, electrical conveni- j ences and other household goods at their true value. Listing of omitted property was emphasized as an important duty of county assessors by Philip Zoerch-' er, tax board member. The meeting closed at noon, J

STEAMFITTERS’ UNION ACCEPTS PAY SCALE CUT Wage Reduced 20 Cents an Hour: Already Placed in Effect. Wage scale reduction of 20 cents an hour has been placed in effect by the local plasterers and steamfitters union, it was learned Friday. This is the second reduction accepted by the union. The plasterers and steamfitters are the first locals among the building trades crafts to agree to a pay | slash since start of negotiations several weeks ago by contractors for a general building trades scale redur- | tion. The reduction, which was placed in effect Wednesday by the plasterers and steamfitters, is from sl.32'* an hour, down to $1.12 , i a hour. A number of other crafts in the | industry were reported to be eon- | sidering similar cuts in their pay scale, but to be withholding definite decision until they learn what action is to be taken by other crafts. Negotiations are not being handled collectively but. instead, by representatives of pach craft meeting with the contractors employing their services. The negotiations were started bv contractors, it is said, with suggestion that reduction in labor costs probably would have a stimulating effect on the local building industry. They contend that the union scaia is too high in comparison with the wages paid unorganized skilled labor. Crafts in the building trades industry consented to a pay cut of about 20 per cent a year ago.
