A study by the veterans' adminis- | tration shows only 7 per cent of the ' war veterans who borrowed on their bonus certificates used the money “in such a way as to receive no practica- ble_benefits therefrom.” The average per cent of veterans ob- taining loans for personal and family needs was 65 per cent; one-fifth of the borrowers utilized loans for invest- ment, while 8 per cent bought auto- mobiles, “purpose undetermined.” These figures, along with others showing 32 per cent of the 2,000,000 veteran borrowers are out of jobs, were given today to Representative Patman, Democrat of Texas, by Frank T. Hines, administrator of veterans’ affairs. Hines said that from “available data secured it appears that 32 per cent of the veterans obtaining loars were un- employed and in need and utilized funds secured by borrowing on their adjusted service, certificates to meet that need.” Patman estimated 640,000 unemplQy- ed vterans benefited by the loans. Hines told Patman the average per- centages given “are estimates based upon such data as might be secured and upon such impression as may have been gained by our managers and by those with whom our field managers came in contact.” “Generally speaking,” he added. “it is felt that of the 2,000,000 loans made the data fairly represents the direction in which the money was cxpended.” CHEVY CHASE LIGHT T0 CHECK TRAFFIC Automatic Signal Is Ordered to Lessen Danger at Inter- : section.

In an order made public today the |school, at 1115 Connecticut avenue, is told by the commission “to stop using |as a part of its trade name the letters ‘U.'S. A’ or other letters, words or in- | signia in ways that would indicate affil- iation with the United States Army, |Navy or some department of the Gov- ernment, or that its course is con- ducted according to Government re- quirements.” Unfalr Methods Charged. Setting up a charge that the school was using “unfair methods of com- petition,” the commission gave the fol- lowing findings: “That the use of the letters ‘U.8. A’ both in trade and corporate names, and of the address, ‘Washington, D. C.’ Land of the title ‘lieutenant’ in re- ferring to the school's president, as well as a general use of insignia con- sisting of wings separated by a shield in its advertising literature, has a tendency to deceive the public and to cause many to enroll as students under the erroneous belief that the school is officially connected with the Army, Navy or some Government department, and that its instruction is conducted in accordance with Government re- quirements, and that because of such supposed official connections this school is in better position to give instruction than competing institutions teaching the art of aviation by correspondence.” Hinton Denies Charges. ‘The complaint was filed May 20. General denial of all the charges@nd conclusions of the Commission was en- tered by Hinton, a former Navy lieuten- ant. He asserted further that the use !of the title was to identify him to the igeneral public which knows him as | “Heutenant.” The Commission allowed 60 days for compliance with its order. ‘The school has been operated several years. — Payette Leaves Hospital.
