This action was decided on at a meeting of the department executive committee last Monday night, when rgeolutions were unanimously adopted on the subject as presenied by National Fxecutive Committeeman Paul J. Mc- | Gahan, chairman of the veterans' pref- | erence committee of the department. ‘he advisory committee appointed by | esident Coolidge consisted of Repre- | séntative Hamilton Fish, jr., of New| York. chairman: Brig. Gen. Frank T. es, director of the United States| Yeterans' Bureau: William C. Deming, | president of the Civil Service Commis- sion, and John Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of the national legislative committee of the American Legion. “"The special commission appointed by esident Coolidge to study the ques- thn of veterans' preference,” according to Chairman McGahan, “had obviously confined its consideration to the situa- | tions involving the disabled war vel- eran and his dependents, but had sug- gested to the President (hat the com- | mittee be continued in existence for the | purpose of further study of the prob- lem, particularly with regard to the proposed consolidation of the personnel | reaus of the Government under the | vil Service Commission and the aboli- | tion of the Bureau of Efficiency, the | Personnel Classification Board and the | Tnited States Workmen's Compensation | Commission.” | » The effects of the executive order of | ent Coolidge are as follows: ®he addition of 10 points to the | éarned rating of a disabled veteran is | continued, but under the new order | the names of disabled veteran eligibles | dire placed at the top of the list and are | eertified ahead of non-velerans, re- gardless of their rating. “Widows of veterans and wives of | veterans who themselves are physically | . disqualified for Government employ- ment are allowed 10 points added to their earned ratin instead of 5 points formerly allowed. Wives and widows of veterans who are allowed the additions! 10 points will also be certified ahead of non-veterans. “A Government employe entitled to Preference under the law and rules is given more liberal preference in reten- tion in the service when reduction of force is mecessary.” At the meeting Monday night De- partment Comdr. Harlan Wood present- ;: Past Department Adjutant George . Unmacht with a past department ddjutant’s jewel in recognition of his waluable services during the years 1926-27, while serving under Dep ment Comdr. Amos A. Fries. The re- éipient expressed his appreciation of the gift in a brief speech following the pres- entation. Welfgre reports were submitted by Mrs, Mary Esther Kolhos, department child welfare officer, and Charles Ko- hen, welfare officer of the department. The American Legion will assist in the work of procuring candidates this year for the Citizéns’ Military Training Camp. The allocation for the District of Columbia this year-is 206 candi- dates. Col. M. S. Jarvis, U. S. A, is the senior instructor this year. In connection with the race for the Henry D. Lindsley trophy offered by national headquarters for the depart- ment showing the greatest percentage gain in membership up to March 1 over the previous year, Department Comdr. Harlan Wood announced that the lat- est official report from national head- quarters showed the Department of the District of Columbia in first place with & percentage of 125.06, while the next! nearest competitor is the Department of Wyoming with 82.01 per cent. Mis- sissippi ran third with 81.89 per cent. | ‘The winner of the trophy wiil not be announced, however, until the Depart- ment of Hawail is heard from. This far-off department in the same official announcement showed that department to be in twenty-ninth place, so there remains but little doubt that the Dis- trict won the much coveted trophy. The District was in twenty-third place when the race for first honors started and finally reached the top notch, much eredit for which is due the recent in- tensive membership campaign which =tarted February 15 and ended Febru- ary 28. The race for additional honors will continue with the hopes of cap- turing some of the other trophies which will be presented at Louisville next Fall at the national convention. The Dis- trict has a good handicap over the other 52 departments in the race and ing Off other membership trophies. Comdr. Wood announced that 17 of the 23 posts comprising this depart- ment were over 100 per cent paid up and that efforts will be made to assist the five remaining posts to reach the 100 per cent mark and if this is accom- plished it will be the first time in the history of the American Legion that any department showed a 100 per cent paid-up membership by April 1.

James national legislative committee, through the chairman, Capt. E. H. Bet- | telheim, jr.. has advised all veterans of the World War that under an amend- ment to the World War veterans' act of May 29, 1928, all claims against the Government based on war 1is | insurance policies will be outlawed by the statute of limitations unless action is taken to collect on these certificates | before May 20, 1920. All disabled vet- {erans drawing compensation from the | Veterans' Bureau should acquaint them- | selves with their rights in reference to war risk_insurance benefits and their opportunities to collect funds due them | from this source. Relatives of deceased | veterans, men who were granted disa- ! bility compensation before their death, |ulso” are urged to investigate the war risk insurance status of the deceased. There is a strong possibility, it is stated, that certain benefits may further accrue to the estate of the deceased veteran hrough this war risk term insurance, even though his policy had been permit- ted to lapse. According to Capt. Bettelheim, there are undoubtedly thousands of veterans pronounced totally and ~permanently disabled by the Veterans’ Bureau who have just claims against the Govern- | ment under the war risk term insurance policies they held while in the service. These claims are not impaired by lapsa- tion of policies if the veteran has been definitely classed as permanently and totally disabled on a service connection basis by the Veterans' Bureau. Veterans |of Foreign Wars post commanders will gladly give information on this question |to any disabled vete:an or the relatives | of deceased comrades.
