§28.375 1S DENIED TOPUBLIGFRINTER McCarl Rules Left-cver Fund May Not Be Used for Another Building. The Public Printer may not use s sum of $28,375 left over from the con- struction of an addition to the Gov- ernment Printing Office for putting up another building on the adjacent site, it was decided yesterday by Controller General McCarl on the basis of the economy act. The Public Printer proposed to use the Ieft-over money for s structure ‘which would connect with the Govern- ment buildings there “and thus make it in effect an integral part of the same structure. both in form and use.” Thus _the additional structure, the Public Printer said, “will, in fact, be- come a part of the original building and simply add an additional room to the present structure.” In denying the use of this money for this purpose, McCarl quoted the econ- omy act and declared it would “appear that not only has the contract been made for the new Government Printing Office building as originally planned, but that such building has been en- tirely erected and the project as origi- nally planned completed. “Thus,” continued the controller gen- eral, “whether the proposed addition being viewed as a separate building or merely as an extension of the com- pleted structure. it clearly appears to be a change or addition ‘not essential to the completion of the project as origi- nally planned’ within the contempla- tion of the prohibition contained in the | pres economy act.” CRUELTY CHARGED IN SUIT Charles L.

ROOSEVELT IS GAINING ON TRIP, SAYS FARLEY Swing of Votes to New York Gov- ernor in West Is Seen by Campaign Head. By the Assoctated Press. KANSAS CITY, September 27.—As- sertion that Gov. Franklin D.

By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, September 27.—Follow- ing the arrest of two law partners, their agent and a physician in an al- leged fake accident damage claim, gub- lic attention in St. Louis has focused on the evils of ambulance chasing and spurious injury suits. Alleged abuses, by some attorneys, to- gether with overgenerous awards by juries, are blamed by investigators for the St. Louls Chamber of Commerce for unwarranted charges upon St. Louis motorists, taxpayers, transit companies and other corporations. Shortly after a State warrant alleg- ing attempt to obtain money by false pretenses had been issued against the four men, the Federal Government be- gan proceedings against one of the attorneys, charging income tax evasion. Evidence upon which the Federal warrant was issued showed that the lawyer, 29 years of age and in practice here since 1926, had personal income during 1929 of almost $16,000. His firm's income for the year was put at nearly $64,000. High Insurance Rate. Investigations by the Insurance Com- mittee of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce, when automobile liability rates here were raised more than 25 per cent early in 1932, showed St. Louisans to be paying higher rates than residents of other comparable cities, despite the fact that St. Louis’ accident fatality rate was below the average. St. Louis motorists must pay $61 an- nually for $5.000 to $10,000 liability protection on a light motor car, com- | pared with $34 for motorists in Chi- | cago, $23 in Detroit, $34 in Los Angeles, $23 in_Denver. $22 in New Orleans, $36 in Kansas City and $14 in Indian- | apolis. | The St. Louis rate on heavy cars is $71 annually, with corresponding lower | schedules in the other cities mentioned. | The committee found that, compar- ing accident fatality rates either by "18-:|’ly $6 M;nfllly ; ulation or by motor vehicle fons, St. Louis occupied a favorable position, ‘wholly out of line with the comparative rates which insurance companies here are forced to charge. Another survey, undertaken by the research bureau of the chamber, dis- closed that the claim cost of the St. Louis Public Service Co., npanfln{ street cars here, equaled 8.83 per cent of total operating revenues, c ‘with an average of 3.94 per cent typical cities, ‘The cost of settling accident claims against the company is estimated at $1,500,000 yearly, Amw?th the com- pany contends its accident rate per ger and per car-mile is excep- lo;;ruy low. some time various civic agencies have been endeavoring to arouse public opinion against “ambulance chasing.” and seeking to improve the quality of jurymen accepted for service. ‘The recent arrests, which followed the repoited confession of a “vtictim” that he faked injuries by s motor vehicle, are among the first tangible results of the campaign. Lone Man Scales Matterhorn. When a party of climbers md&\fldu recently reached the summit the Matterhorn, in Switzerland, they found a solitary Alpinist sitting on the top, 14,780 feet above sea level. He gave the name Metzger and said that he had scaled the meuntain alone. He refused the guides’ offer that he join up on their rope for the perilous descent, and he made his way down alone to Zermatt, 6_miles away. kéoming to the WORLD SERIES?
