Carrying $511,225,000 for the Veterans' Bureau, the 1931 annual supply bill providing $552,172,213 for 28 independ- | ent Government offices and agencies | was reported today to thg House by its | appropriations committee. The bill also | carries $1,000,000 for the Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission The total is $141,687,627 less than the outlay for the current fiscal year. It s $1511.835 below the budget| estimates. The reduction was brought about in | the appropriation for the Federal Farm | Board. The measure did not increase | the $150,000.000 farm loan revolving fund created for the current year. Actually, with this sum omitted, the committee explained, there was an in- crease of $8,312,373 over the current year. i In reporting the measure, the com- | mittee explained that officials of the | Farm Board were unable at this time to estimate how much of the $500,000,- 000 previously authorized would be | required for 1931 farm relief work. however, the board was allowed $1,700,- 000 for administrative and co-operative | marketing expenses, or $200,000 less than the budget estimate. $2,000,000 for Hospitals. ‘The outlay for the Veterans’ Bureau Tepresented an increase of $11,250.000 over the current appropriation. It is to be taken up largely in compensation to emergency naval and Army officers, improving hospital services, adding per- sonnel and in settling insurance claims. | Veterans' hospitals are allowed $2,000,~ 000 for construction or $4,000,000 less than for 1930. - ‘The permanent appropriation of $78,530,000, made automatically, also was included for the Veterans’ Bureau. President Hoover set an_example of economy. The outlay for the executive office was placed at $422,320, a reduc- tion of $24,900. Having reduced its deficit to $6,000,- 000, compared with $11,000,000 for last year, the Shipping Board was allowed $6.346,000, a reduction of $5,148,000 and | the lowest amount requested since it an functioning. However, unex- pended sums of $500,000 fof research and experiments and $800,000 for coal carrying ships to aid the coal export business, were reappropriated. Radio Commission Given More. ‘The Federal Radio Commission was | given $450,000, an increase of $285,560 over the current year and $75,000 more than the budget estimate. Broadening of the powers of the commission and the growing difficulty of controling radio facilities necessitate increased personnel. ‘The American Battle Monuments Commission, of which Gen. John J. Pershing is chairman, was allowed $1,000,000, bringing the total outlay for monuments and cemetery chapels in Europe and England to more than $4,000,000. A total of $4,500,000 has been authorized for the work. which probably will be completed late in 1931. Other outlays included Federal Oil Conservation Board, $17,220; Mount Rushmore Memorial Commission, super- vising the monuments in South-Dakota; ‘was given $60,000. ‘The Porto Rican Hurricane Relief Commission was allotted $1,000,000 and for the indigent in Alaska, $15,000. —_— Brazil Grants Graf Landing.

By the Associated Press. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., February 6.— Whether the Bible and religious educa- tion subjects should be taught more or less than at present in Baptist schools other than the seminaries was debated |in the joint session of the Southern Baptist Education Association and the Southern Baptist Association of Reli- gious Education and Bible Teachers here yesterday. ‘The Education Association will con- tinue its annual meeting today. Dr. W. J. McGlothlin, president of Furman University, in a discussion, expressed the opinion that the major portion of the biblical and religious education training should be carried on in the seminaries for those students preparing for the ministry, allowing time for aca- démic work in other denominational colleges. Bible teachars previously had recom- mended that the curriculum of all Bap- tist_colleges include 18 semester hours in Bible and 12 in religious education, or a total of one-fourth of a college | course. Other discussion on the subject is expected toda: U. S. “AIDS” RUM RINGS. Smugglers Encroach on Federal Property Barred to State Officers. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., February € (#)—Government engineers yesterday complained to Wilburn P. Hughes, United States district attorney here, that the Federal Government, inad- vertently, is prtecting rum runners from arrest along the Florida coast. The “protection” is from arrest by city and county authorities. The engineers explained that such officers, without jurisdiction on Fed- eral Government land, were fearful of making arrests in cases where smug- glers occupied premises next to the Jacksonville-Miami canal recently deed- ed to the Government. —_— V/eBest W youve B (TR 1 e THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 6, 1930, DEBTS OF CHICAGO 10 EXGEED TAXES Sale of Warrants Will Put Obligations $263,849,000 Over Expected Income. By the Associated Pres: CHICAGO, February 6.—While local governments waited today for money With nothing more definite than an abiding hope, statisticians computed how badly the governments were “in the red.” The statisticlans found that if the city and county governments realize their expectations of selling $123,940,- 000 worth of tax anticipation warrants, they will increase the public floating debt to $403,940,000, or $263,849,000 more than the estimated 1928 tax col- lections can pay. Chicago school teachers had another payless pay day today. Yesterday saw the third pay day for county employes pass without anything being done about it. In Terrible Shape. Harry Newby, chairman of the county board’s finance committee, said: “We've got to have action soon or we will be compelled to issue warrants to the employes instead of cash. Some of them are in terrible shape.” The Lincoln Park Board announced 1930 pay roll by the elimination of 100 Jobe witiout aftecting the efciency of park operation. The action was not because of any shortage of unds, the board explained, but as a measure of economy. H. Wallace Caldwel, president of the school board, has gone to New York, Where he hopes to obtain money for Payment of past due salaries and bills. Mayor Willlam Hale Thompson has Temained silent as to whether he will accept the offer of the Strawn citizens { relief committee to aid the city, which i is behind in its pay to all employes. ‘Working on Means. Asked last night if he would co-oper- ate with the Strawn committee, Mayor Thompson said: u"w& are still working on & way to y_the employes.” “You -repwfi'ung. aren’t you, to do anything to get the empioyes their| pay?” he was asked. I did not say that,” the mayor re- D"Edt' “That is too general a state- ment.” URGES FUTURES PLAN. Move to Stabilize Cattle Market Is Outlined by Professor. URBANA, I1l, February 6 ().—Prof. Sletter Bull, associate chief in meats at the College of Agriculture, University of Illinois, yesterday announced a plan for futures “trading in cattle which he claims will have a tendency to stabilize prices, consume some of the feed sur- plus, give feeders an insured profit and Insure packers of a regular supply of quality beef throughout the year. Prof. Bull would have futures markets for two months established for steers grading choice heavy and choice light. Differentials would be worked out as between heifers and steers and between thev arious grades of each. Packers buy- ing for future delivery of fat cattle would strengthen the thin cattle mar- that $250,000 had been cut from the ket, the professor believes.

PHILADELPHIA, February 6.—The Board of Education, through adoption yesterday of a report of its school's committee, refused to put into effect & proposal that high school pupils be re- leased one hour each week in order that they might receive religious instruction. The school's committee, which com- prises a majority of the board, rejected the plan on the ground that it was not in harmony with the fundamental prin- ciple of the American Government that church and state shall be separate. “The action suggested is impracti- cable,” the report said, “by reasons of its interference with discipline and with the roster of education.” The tiny Island of Patmos, off the | cost of Asia Minor, contains only 700 houses, but the ruins of no less than 300 churches have heen counted there. St. John wrote the Book of Revelations there, and in the old days the rich man who wished to expiate his sins usually did so by building a church STUDY FOREIGN TALKIES.
