By the Associated Press. About $46,000,000 has been given back to veterans by the Veterans' Ad- ministration in a revision of benefits of Congress. The bulletin on revision of benefits has been completed, mailed to field offices, but is still to be kept secret until its official publication, expected mo- mentarily. Rating schedules in accordance with President Roosevelt's executive regula- tions of June 6 have been sent to the ! fleld, along with instructions about how I.o apply the new so-called compromlsel aw. ‘These are being held as confidential by the administration, with the expla- nation that they covered administrative matters. Meanwhile, plans are being pushed here for setting up boards to review the presumptive type cases. 150,000 Presumptive Cases. Approximately 150,000 veterans are included in this classification, set up by law in 1924 with an added provision that in the case of certain ailments, such as tuberculosis, neuro-psychiatric troubles and others, it should be pre- sumed they originated in service. Although no definite decision yet has been reached by the Veterans’ Adminis- tration, it was considered likely the boards’ to review these presumptive cases between now and October 31, would each consist of five members and be regional groups covering areas under charge of existing regional offices -of the Veterans’ Agency. The Veterans' Administration hopes to have its recommendations for mem- bership on these boards ready for Presi- dent Roosevelt by July 1, and to have them in action by mid-July. Establish- ment of the boards through the new law prevented removal of the presump- tive cases from the rolls on July 1, as i)riginally called for under the economy aw. The boards will automatically review each of the presumptive cases, (o deter- mine whether the presumption should be granted. Should cases be unsettled on October 31, President Roosevelt may extend the time for them. Until Octo- ber 31 or pending board decisions, vet- erans in the presumptive classification will receive 75 per cent of the payments they were getting March 20, when the cconomy law became effective. 46 Millions to Be Added. Officials could not estimate how much might be added to the total payments to veterans by these reviewing boards, but it was indicated that the compro- mise law, limiting reductions to veterans injured in service to 25 per cent and providing for Spanish-American veter- ans, would add around $46,000,000 to the $506,000,000 total under the original economy law of March 20. In addition, $50,000,000 will be added by the presidential regulations of June 6, modifying the economy law and pro- viding for an average reduction of around 18 per gent in payments to vet- erans injured & service, for an esti- .50 9.45 X 058 Bus Depot SR CAPITOL GREYHOUND Peterman’s Discovery killsas minfmum ex- ‘pense.

It was used from the latter days of the nineteenth century until 1907, when Oklahoma was admitted to the Union. Frank and Al Jennings, notorious train robbers, were confined in the stockade at one time. The jail was, in fact, a group of three small frame houses, surrounded by a high wooden wall.

NEW YORK, June 26.—A code calling for mininmamy wage rates of $10 to $18 a week for experienced workers has been drafted by the National Retail Dry Goods Association. ‘The code has been approved by the association’s board of directors and is being sent for approval and comment to 4000 department stores, dry goods stores, mail order houses and specialty | shops which are members of the as- sociation. In 1932 these members did a business | estimated at close to $3,500,000,000. | Lew Hahn, assoclation president, said the code is tentative and has not yet been forwarded to Gen. Hugh Johnson, administrator of national recovery. It is the hope of the association, Hahn said, that when it is complete it will represent the entire retail craft, cover- ing stores in the drug, hardware, gro- cery, jewelry, furniture, shoe and men'’s clothing fields, as well as those repre- sented in the association. The minimum wages—$12 to $18 for | experienced men and $10 to $12 for ex- perienced women—are based on a 48- hour work week and are graduated ac- cording to population of trading areas in which stores are located. A minimum | wage of $9 a week is set for “junior | workers,” male or female, who are un- | der 18, have less than one year's ex- | perience, and work in sections outside metropolitant areas. For these juniors minimum rates of $10 or $11 are set in more populous areas. The code also gives empleyes the right | to bargain collectively, calls for a mini- | mum mark-up of 10 per cent on goods, condemns misrepresentation of mer- | chandise, criticism of competitors’ goods | or selling prices, and prohibits the sale by members of products manufactured in penal institutions. special offer. 2-piece living room sui fit your furniture in In the Trusha Jaspe Cloth............

CHICAGO, June 26.—Rallroads have shown greater progress in eliminating waste and promoting efficiency than any other industry, R. H.. Alshton, chairman of the Association of Rail- way Executives, told the American So- clety of Mechanical Engineers 3 “I assert without hesitation,” Aish- ton said, “that more efficient and eco- nomical operation, the result of re- search and mechanical improvement, is all that has saved the railways from extinction during this period.” Taking the unit costs of railway op- eration as a basis, Aishton said, the 1929 operating expenses of the coun- try's raflroads would have been $1212,- | 000,000 greater in that year than they actually were, if the unit cost had re- mained the same as it was in 1920. Aishton paid tribute to the part me- chanical engineers had played in re- ducing the unit costs.
