Passed by House. weet bill, consolidating the of relief of service men, was The agencie: passed by the House late yesterday by | Ospt. the unanimpus vote of 335 to 0. This measure now goes to the Senate. The House spent miore than a week considering the bill, and adopted a few minor amendments, but the jneas- ure was approved practically as it was reported from committee. Veterans’ Bureau Oreated. Provision is made in the bill for|y., creation of a veterans’ bureau in the Treasury Department, in ‘which would be placed the war risk insurance bu- reau, the federal board for vocational education and functions of the public health service relating to war veterans. Fourteen regional offices would be created for expenditious handling of claims of former service men for compensation, hospital and medical care and vooational training. The director of the new bureau would have power to determine the extent of authority of regional branches to make final settiement of claims. Provision is made for establish- ment of 140 office: ‘which war vet- erans could apply for rellef. These would replace 137 soldier relief bu- reaus now maintained by the gov- ernment throughout the country. The location of the new offices would be determined by the director of the Veterans' bureau. Abolishes Subofiices. An amendment was added to the bill providing that -the regional bureau and sub-offices created by it must au- ;g;nlllm.lly cease to exist July 1, 26. The House also approved an amend- ment by Representative Elliott, In- diana, authorizing payment of gov- ernment insurance to beneficiaries of war veterans who permitted their polici o lapse while suffering from wounds or disease incurred in line of duty from which they died. (GUNS T0 PROTECT BUILDERS OF ROAD ‘War clouds hovered over Glen Echo Heights yesterday, and the “zero hour” for going over was expected to arrive today when citizens were to stand as armed guards over road builders in improving & highway from Conduit road to the heights properties to protect them against Deputy Sheriff Franklin T. Boswell, who, it is alleged, had threatened to use force- ful methods if the residents tried to carry out their road-bujlding plans. The staid, but firm, hand of h.' reached in and opened a clearin, the dark clouds, carrying lev!rf the principals into the Rockville, Hd-. police court. This is what cleared them up: Deputy Sheriff Franklin T. Boswell of Glen Echo, who is alleged to have threatened to shoot any one who at- |Helel tempted to build the road, appeared in court and gave bonds of $100 on each of five peace warrants, to keep the peace for five months. Charged With Assault. James G. Morris of Glen Echo ap- !0kial peared at.the court and swore out a warrant for Clarence Sands, whom he charged with assault and battery. Sands answered the warrant today and gave a bond of $508 pending his trial Thursday. Walter D. Dresser, president of the |gex Glen Echo Hdghu Citizens’ Associa- tion, said ‘that, following -advice of counsel. work of starting improve- ment of the road will not begin until WASH the first of next week. The war between the deputy sheriff, on one side, and the citizens who threat- to arm themselves, on the other, has been called off for taday. A number of residents of the sec- tion, according to the version given by Mr. Dresser, did not have a good roadway to reack Conduit road and decided to improve it. As it was to run past the door of Boswell's house he protested, whereupon the citizens’ association had the right of way sur- veyed by the county surveyor, who, it is said, reported Boswell's property was on the right of way. Boswell, it is said, claimed that he bought tke property. Peace Warrants Swera Out. Last night, following ' puplication given to the controversy which has been brewing for a few weeks, Sands, it is said, walked up on the porch of Morris, waving the newspaper in his hands, and struck the latter, 3 fight following, drawing a large crowd from the community. Following the alleged threat of Deputy Sheriff Boswell that he would shoot up any one who tried to build the road. Walter D. Dresser, James G. Morris, Lewis J. Bender, Alpheus Lent and Earl E. Frederick swore out peace ‘warrants against the official. These were served last might by Constable Clarence Anders and_were answered in the court today. Boswell and his wife were allowed to go as security. MINORITY ZIONISTS DECIDE TO MEET By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 11.—A mass con- ference of the minority group of the Zionist Organization of America will be held July 2 or 4, either in Pitts- burgh or Buffalo. This was decided at a meeting of a committee pf the minority group appointed to confer ‘Wwith Supreme Court Justice Brande! former honorary president of (| Zionist Organization. After hearing the views expressed by Justice Brandeis, Judge Julian W. Mack. and others, it was agreed that as far as the attitude of the minority group toward the new Zionist ad- ministration w: concerned there shall be no active sntdgonism, but it was decided that no member of the minority group shall accept an elec- tion as delegate to the forthcoming Zionist convention at Carlsbad, next September. Will, Draft Statement. A committee of the minority group will draft a statement to be printed in several languages and presented to all the delegates at the Carisbad con- vention. It will include the reason why Justice Brandeis, Jlld‘. Mack, Rabbi Wise and others o fthe mi- nority group do not flld it advisable to_attend the Carlsbad convention. It is probable that the minority sroup will resolve itself into an in- dependent organization, to be called the Palestine Development Associa- tion, although the members will re- tain thejr individual affiliations with the Zionist movement. Justice Bran- deis stated that it might be found practicable to launch a. series of wholesale co-operative enterprises in Palestine, completely segregated from any activities undertaken now or in the future by the Zionist commission.

Chace advocating changing the name of Mt. Rainier in the state of Washington, to Mt. Lin- coln. ‘While commending the suggestion as being most laudable I would like to correct a statement which may give a wrong impression to the east- ern people. She states that Mt. Ta- koma (presumably meaning Tacoma) was suggested, but that the name did not meet with favor because it would be_localizing the name. It is true that the city of Tacoma is in close proximity, but that is not the reagon this name was suggested, but the idea was to perpetuate the old Indian name of Ta-" Homa. Ta in the Siwaesh language means big, and Homa means mountain, and they so called this mountain from ases immemorable Ta-Homa. The *“h” pronounced with a very hard hd and the nearest to it in our language would be Tacomg. The mountain was called Ralnier after an English admiral, who never saw the mountain. I being born in England cjn -(ely Lly without being accused of Jingoism that the Indian name is xhe correct name for this beautiful mountaim and should not be called after an English admiral. The city of Tacoma does not need that sort of advertising to bring her- gelf prominently before the publ becanse I venture to state that it is still fresh in the minds of the people of this country from one end to the other how Tacoma, led by their great lodge of Elks bonded herself in the amount of five million dollars to present to our government. the 4 rmy pllt at Camp wis, Wash., declared military oxpert- to be one of the flnelt in tl ntry. There is & mvemen! on foot at the nrelenl ume to portion part of the states of Washington, Idaho and Montana, m-ke 3 separate state and call this state Lineoln, so I say let us call the mountain by the name it has been known for thousands of years, “Tacoma.” H .
