(Continued From First Page.) | sald he said in private, and the Amer- ican delegation remained similarly silent. Hold Private Meeting. Almost coincident with the arrival of | the Assistant Secretary of State, there | was an important development. It was ‘]e:\rned that the American and British | delegations already had held one private | meeting together and planned another | for_today. Details of what took place in the ! i secret session between the two great | English-speaking delegations were not | | divulged, but an authoritative source said this much was true: | The British and the Americans de- cided to work hand-in-hand so far as possible. Their interests are, in the main, mutual, it was said, and more- jover they feel that the success of the conference largely Tests on their shoulders and if they stand together success will be more iikely. Seeming to bear out this program of Anglo-American co-operation, Britain | still is standing pat on her refusal to commit herself to the continental gold bloc scheme for European monetary stabilization irrespective of American action. Anxious About Gold. The British, however, freely indicated their anxiety regarding the monetary position on this side of the water. They | expressed fear that unless some action was taken the European gold countries might be forced off the gold standa Word that Estonia is abandoning gold certainly did not alleviate the uneasi- ness of the European delegations to the conference. Representatives of Bank of England, the Bank of France and two other central banks met se- cretly this morning to discuss the European currency situation, with per- ticular reference to speculative move- ments. it was unofficially reported later that the conferees were hopeful they had evolved a program which removed the { possibllity of that country being forced Overcome Acid Stomach ‘The stomach often becomes sour when we eat rich foods, drink unwisely, smoke too much and keep late hours, Thi fortable acid condition is promptly | and safely corrected with pure Gra- ham Milk of Magnesia.

The Pittman resolution, as adopted, is to all intents and purposes the same as it was submitted by the Senator, al- though there were some slight changes in phraseology. It provides for uitimate | ! stabilization, return to the gold standard | when feasible, and withdrawal of gold | from internal circulation. It also low- ers the legal gold coverage of central banks to 25 per cent. The agreement was reached this morning, however, only after strong op- position from the German delegate, Dr. Geheimrat Vocke. He objected to a clause which says that “under modern | conditions monetary gold is required | not for internal circulation but as & | Teserve against Central Bank liabilities | and primarily to meet external demands for payments caused by some disequi- | librium on foreign account.” ‘The German delegate sought to in- troduce the word “temporary” before the word “disequilibrium.” His point was that if a permanent disequilibrium exist=d it might put any country in an impossible position in the distant fu- | ture, Germany might be compelled to | ship out gold to her detriment. Merely States Principles. Leon Fraser, American head of the | Bank for International Settlements, ex- | plained that the resolution did not pro- | i vide for legislation, but merely for the laying down of principles. Dr. Vocke then accepted the proposal on the | understanding that his objection would | be brought before the Monetary Com- mission along with the resolution. It was understood that the American delegation was greatly pleased with the pragress this important proposal is making in committees. Senator Pitt- man’s resolution was coupled with ai . | other providing for the rehabilitation of | silver, but the Monetgry Commission | separated the two and sent them to | different committees. ‘The Senator had been anxious for | the two resolutions to go hand-in-hand, | but the silver section reportedly was | meeting difficulties. However, the feel- | ing was expressed in American quarters ! that the adoption of & gold program in | | itself would be & notable achievement. Secretary of State Hull's resolution riers received further strong support in committee this morning. Japan, Nor- ‘way, Belgium and Holland all expressed general approval. The committee is | still in the process of debating the pro- posal and no action has been taken. { \ Japan’s support of the resolution iu | committee was coupled with the visit | to Mr. Hull by Viscount Kikujiro Ishii, ‘and it was understood that they had tariffs under discussion. May Call on Moley. 1 A dramatic call on Prof. Moley to | help save the gold standard by a tacit understanding to maintain the dollar somewhere near the present level was under consideration by the four Euro- | pean gold countries, it was understood | in_informed quarters. | ‘The gold bloc was using all its energy to persuade Britain either to stabilize the pound on the franc or to find a formula by which part of the present pressure on the currencies of Holland, | Switzerland, France and Belgium could be removed.

AREBENGLAECKED Upward of 300,000 Cases to Be Reviewed Under Re- vised Ratings. By the Assoclated Press As a stride toward easing economy law cuts into benefits to former soldiers, the Veterans’ Administration yesterday announced it was reviewing upward of 300.000 individual cases under revised | rating schedules, The administration made its plans known in a six-page bulletin crammed with information on altered compensa- tions, pensions and other payments to| ex-service men under the compromise | law enacted by Congress in the closing | minute of the special session. | Officials _estimated $96,000,000 had | been cut off economy law savings by the | combined effect of President Roosevelt's | regulations issued June 6, and the com- | promise law, crediting the former with| $50,000.000 ‘These reductions would | leave the total economies in payments | to former soldiers around $275,000,000. ‘The new schedule for rating disabili- ties has been changed from a 5 to 10 step system and the basic rate instead of ranging from $8 to $80 now ranges from $9 to $90 monthly. ‘The old schedule rates disabilities at | | whereas the new schedule starts with 10 per cent and increases in multiples of 10 to 100. Veterans' Administration officlals said “incressed benefit” in the majority of cases, but specific illustrations could not be given. One official said that as an example, & man with two or three disabilities which might total a rating of 30 per cent would be allowed 5 per cent more because it was a combined disability placed in the higher, or 40 per cent bracket. They could not give the rates in dollers paralieling the rates in per- Approximately 338,000 cases in va- rious classifications are in the group being reviewed. About 40 cent of the total had been reviewed under the old five-step rating schedule after the passage of the economy law March 20, But virtually all these will have to be re-reviewed. ALABAMANS VICTORS . IN BRIDGE OLYMPIC Mrs. J. H. Slager and Fred Levy Winners in North-South Groups in International Play. By the Assoclated Press NEW YORK, June 28—Mrs. J. H. | Slager and Pred Levy of Montgomery, Ala., are world bridge Olympic cham- pions. The National Bridge Associa- tion announced today that they had the best score of North-South pairs in a world-wide contest May 1, in which more than 100,000 plavers participated. Leo D. Craine and J. Prederic Bene- dict of Sherburne, N. Y. were tied with Otto Krefting and Isak Neilson of Oslo, Norway, for the international championship of East-West pairs. Mr. and Mrs. J. Matt Johnson of \ETERANS' CLAIMS 'ROBERTS STATUS ASKED BY BLANTON Writes to Reichelderfer Con- cerning Assistant Cor- poration Counsel. In a letter to Luther H. Reichelderfer, president of the Board of Commission- ers, Representative Blanton of Texas vesterday asked whether Willlam A Roberts, an assistant in the corporation counsel’s office, “attends to law work or acts as a tiaveling inspector for the District.” Mr. Blanton requested Dr. Reichel- derfer to have Auditor Donovan furnish him with a breakdown of the items and amounts of expenditures covering a series of trips made by Mr. Roberts, as follows: 1. The trip recently made by Mr. Roberts to Chicago (where the exposi- tion is now in progress) and to Cleve- land (where another exposition is in progress). 2. The trip which Mr. Roberts took last year to Hot Springs, Ark. 3. The trip that Mr. Roberts took last year to New York at a time when a big convention was being held. 4. The second trip that Mr. Roberts took to New York last year. 5. The trip that Mr. Roberts took to Chicago last year. “I want & complete breakdown, with the expenses itemized, on each of the above trips,” said Mr. Blanton in his letter to Dr. Reichelderfer. Mr. Blanton said today he had amended the letter as follows: In (1) eliminate Cleveland, as Mr. Roberts did not go there. work of the commission in the interest of the public. He sald also the expense allowances from the District Govern- ment were actually less than what he expended In the course of the trips. He added that each one of the trips was | made by direction of the Utilities Com- mission under official orders. | One Trip to Chicago. His statement follows: “I have been to Chicago but once, approximately two weeks ago. This trip was made at the express direction of the United States Senate Committee on the District of Columbia to secure from the national organizations on municipal research, located at the University of Chicago, information with respect to | the administration of the government of the District of Columbia. Travel was done under the official orders of the District Commissioners, and all of my time while there, day and evening, was spent at the University of Chicago. I have never visited Cleveland for the Government and my recent trip was my only trip to Chicago. “The first trip to New York was made approximately two years ago in com- pany with members of the Public Util- ities Commission and the People’s Coun- sel, to attend a conference of progres- sive State commissions on the subject of regulation of holding companies. This trip lasted only one day and the entire time while there was spent at day and evening sessions, the latter terminating almost at midnight. The second trip to New York was in com- pany with officials of the commission to attend a national conference on the rcost of distribution of electric power. It is also & fact that this same question of the cost of distribution of power was considered of such importance that it was recently reported by the Senate to the Federal Power Commission for investigation, and at the time of the | conference was under serious considera- tion by the Public Utilities Commission in connection with lower power rates. | Ordered to Arkansas. | “The Convention of the National As- sociation of Railway and Utilities Com- missioners, a semi-official body, was In (3) relating to the first trip w'held in Hot Springs, Ark., last year.

NEW YORK, June 28.—The price of sulphite pulp, used in the manufacture of paper, has advanced about 10 per cent during the last 10 days. This became known today at a meeting of a committee appointed by the American Paper and Pulp Asso- ciation to draw up that industry's na- tional recovery code. ‘The advance brought coincident in- creases in the prices of rags and old papers, with old papers increasing from $6 to $14 a ton. Newsprint makers declined to fore- cast what effect if any, the rise of sul- phite pulp would have on the price of newsprint. The prices of writing paper, wrapping paper and paper bags were carried up automatically. ’¢ wrinkle Origi of ihe PLAN in KKK K R R K K KR K K R K KK KK K K K KKK K R K K K K K K KK Kk KK RE Kk kK KKK KK KR A FULL CARLOAD OF ING HERRIES Rushed to you from far away Washington State— oxi- mate distance by rail of 3,080 miles in approxinmteArl:ll::rning time of 90 hours as shown hausted.
