CUMMINGS T0 SEEK HIGH COURT RULING ONRETIREMENT ACT Appeal of D. C. Judge's Ruling Will Be Taken to U.S. Supreme Court Washington, Oct. 26.—(#)—Inten- tion of the department of justice to seek a decision by the supreme court on the railway retirement act, held unconstitutional by the District of Columbia supreme court, was an- nounced Friday by Attorney General Cummings.

In discussing the case, the attorney general said “it is important that the supreme court pass on this act as soon as possible not only for the par- ticular purpose of deciding on the rail- way retirement act, but also to de- ROBBED OF $1,000 Customer Slugged by Bandits in Holdup Friday at Monte- video, Minn.

The movement for immediate payment of the adjusted service certificates gained new mo- mentum when the American Legion advocated it Thursday at the annual convention in Miami. ‘Though the White House had noth- ing to say, its position was unmis- takable. President Roosevelt's speech in Roanoke, Va., last week was gen- erally regarded as aimed at the bonus drive. He said veterans are “better off” than any other group, and de- clared the care of the disabled, the sick, the destitute and the starving was “the first thing.” The Legion resolution held that paying the bonus now would “increase tremendously the purchasing power of the consuming public” and give re- lef to certificate holders “who are in dire need and distress.” The veterans administration esti- mated that it would take $2,506,000,- 000 to meet the veteran's demands. Of this, the veterans would get about $2,006,000,000 The rest would go to repay money advanced by the government for loans on the bonus gertificates, which mi ture in 1045, BANKERS PREPARE: TO PUSH RECOVERY Hecht to Meet With Peek Friday to Discuss Expanded Credit Plans | i poses | Washington, Oct. 26.—(?)—High of- ficials of the American Bankers as- sociation, expressing confidence that their 60th convention marked “better | understanding” with the government, put their policy of cooperation into effect Friday.

(Neither Washington nor London recognizes Manchukuo, Japanese- sponsored “independent” state). Representations had been made to Tokyo by the two governments, along with the Netherlands, alleging the monoply would violate the nine-power treaty and the “open door” policy and work serious hardships on foreign oil companies. The foreign office, in the summary made public Friday, said Japan's po- sition was outlined in informal notes handed the Ang!o-American embassies nearly three months ago. Japan asserted the measures would not violate the “open door.” Earlier a spokesman for the foreign office said the nine-power treaty, guaranteeing the “open door” in Chi- na, is “inapplicable to Manchukuo.” “Various pledges made by Japanese and Manchukuan leaders to main- tain the open door in Manchuria were unilateral declarations lacking the binding force of treaties,” he con- tinued, “and hence may be withdrawn wet _any time.” Thus inc Indicated protests by the United States ana Ureac-.Rritain against a Manchukuan oll monopoiy would do them little good.
