HOAD EVCLUSIN, | [ or e CONBAT DISABLED OF D. C: DEPLO Board- of Trade Points. Out District Is Discriminated. Against’ in' Funss. Ifi advecating inclusion of the District of Columbia in benefits of the $400,- 000,000 grant to the States for Federal aid highway projects, as proposed in the national industrial recovery bill, the Board of Trade pointed out today that the District is the only municipality in the United States excluded in this fashion, despite the fact that it pays Federal taxes which exceed the aggre- gate contributions of 11 States” and' more than any one of 27 States. The bill as now drawnm, it was ex- plained, provides in effect for an alot: ment of $400,000,000, three-fourths: of which will be alloeated to the states| and the Territory of Hawaili, but not to the District of Columbia. The re- maining one-fourth' is to be allocated to the’states and the Territery of Ha- wafl on the basis of population. THe roposed aet further provides that the und allocated to the. states under- the Federal aid basis shall be avafiable for and include U. S. routes into and through municipalities. A portion of the fund is also available for what are | known as feeder roads.

Under’ the temms of the bill as pro- posed the District would be the only Jjurisdietion in’ the United States that | would not be eligible to share under. the- highway portion of the act. “It is believed,” a spokesman for the’ Board of Trade said tod: “that to the' extent of improving the alled United States Federal aid routes” the District should be so included as to permit this’ fund to be allocated not alone for the benefit that may result to residents of the District but to the genersi traveling public, to the Federal Government, to | the completion of the Federal aid- sys- tem and further so that by-path routes may be provided for through traffic. “The District of Columbia has: & greater population than seven of the States and within 100,000 of four addi- tional States.

EMERGENGY RELIEF REFUND 1S ASKED ommunity Chest Seeks Aid .of Commissioners in Its Appeal.

In the new measure the| World War compensations are lumped‘, in with. the pensions for Civil War, | Spanish Ameriean War and others, totaling $231,730,000, a cut of $361,-| 000,000 from . the vetoed bill, and ne effort was made: to itemize it. When the bill was presented, persons interested iy veterans® affairs said they requested the-" veterans’ administration for a breakdown. The administration declined, referring all requests to Di- rector Douglas, who, likewise, refused to_make the breakdown public. Meantime, the war-injured veteran is taking the only course allotted to him affer he has received notification from the Vetersns’ Administration that his compensation will' be cut.

The President readily complied. by raising the rating percentage by 10 per cent and promis- ing a review. Under the new ruling veterans who were classified as 10 to 15 per cent disabled. are given a rating of 10 per cent. Those rated from 20 to 35 per cent are granted 25 per cent; those rated. ffom 35 to 60 per cent are given 50 per cent, and those from 65 to 80 | per cent are allowed 75 per cent. Under the old ruling veterans who were classified as 10 to 20 per cent disabled were rated 10 per cent; those | from. 25 to 45 were rated 25 per cent, and these judged 50 to 70 per cent were rated 50 per eent.. Because of the lack of time, it was explained, the rating or reviewing boards, composed of two laymen and ! one physician each, are not calling on the veterans to appear in person.

It was explained that the ratio of' private relief {vnds to public funds in the District last year was 72 to 28 whereas in the average American city this ratio was almost exactly reversed, with the major burden of rellef being carried by public funds.
