NICE TOLD T0 PICK VETERANS AIDUNIT V. F. W. Convention Asks He Complete Personnel as Promised. By the Aszoctated Press. OCEAN CITY, Md, June 29—A busy day of addresses by prominent guests, presentation of committee re- ports and other business was climaxed at the convention of the Maryland Department of the Veterans of For- eign Wars today by passage of a resolution calling upon Gov. Nice to fulfill one of his pre-election promises. The resolution, passed at this aft- ernoon’s meeting after an address by John F. McNulty, State commander of the American Legion, asked that the Governor proceed immediately with the appointment of the person- nel of the Maryland Veterans’ Relief |- Commission. James J. McGuirk, V. F. W. depart- ment commander, said tonight the action was taken when representa- tives of the four major veterans’ or- ganizations failed to obtain informa- tion on the status of the new com- mission, for which a chairman has been named but members have not. McGuirk asserted the law authoriz- ing the commussion, as passed by the recent Legislature, called for the nam- ing of members recommended by the heads of the veterans’ organizations in the State. So far as he has been able to ascertain, McGuirk said, the Governor has taken no action, al- though he promised to do so prior to election. The Governor, listed as one of the day's speakers, was unable to be pres- ent. Included on the program were addresses by McGuirk, Mayor Howard W. Jackson of Baltimore and State Employment Commissioner Harry C. Jones. Officers of the V. F. W. and of their auxiliary will be elected tomorrow during the closing sessions. Mayor W. T. Elliott spoke at the morning business session today, wel- coming the more than 500 delegates to Ocean City. The auxiliary held a separate business meeting during the afternoon. President Matilda Weber presided. The annual memorial service will be held at the Episcopal church here tomorrow morning. Election and in- stallation of new officers will be held during the afternoon and the con- vention will close with a crab and beer feast after the afternoon session. Will Conduct Services.

BALTIMORE, June 20.—Lee Dop- kin, chairman of the Pension Com- mittee of the Board of State Aid and Charities, today said Allegany County has completed its administrative ar- rangements for the new mandatory old-age pension system, the first to do so. The county has placed 120 pen- sioners on the rolls. This is an in- crease of about 30 cases over the old optional system formerly in effect | in the county. New cases will be added until the estimated peak of about 600 is reached. Under the optional plan, which was in effect only in Allegany County and Baltimore City, the county took $15,- 000 out of its annual tax levy to pension about 92 aged persons. The new levy in the county is $30,000. Under the pension bill, the State will add $60,000 to the county’s funds, making the total for old-age pensions $90,000 during the year ending next March 31, Dopkin said. If the county spends the full $90,- 000, the officlal stated, the Federal Government will be expected to match the outlay with an additional $90,000, plus 5 per cent of the administrative cost. Under this set-up, Dopkin said, Maryland is expected to spend about $1,000,000 on old-age pensions in the first year. About $666,000 will be sup- plied by the State 1 per cent gross receipts tax and approximately $333,- 000 will be levied in taxes by the city and counties. The Government is expected to match this amount, giving the State a total of $2,000,000 to be spent on pensions during the first year. Commenting on the action taken by Allegany County, Dopkin said the pension administration there was per- fected after a series of conferences between the committee and J. Milton Patterson, chairman of the Allegany County Welfare Board, and A. C. Stewart, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners. The committee, which {includes Dopkin, Samuel E. Shanahan, chair- man of the Board of State Aid and Charities, and William Calvin of Bal- timore are visiting each county to help set up local welfare depart- ments which will be charged with maintaining the system. Dopkin estimated there are about 14,000 persons in the State eligible for pensions. lief rolls the first year. Martinsburg Brothers Boast Noted Collection of Firearms, Bpecial Dispatch to The Star MARTINSBURG, W. Va., June 29 —A collection of fighting equipment and firearms probably unmatched in | the United States except in a few mu- seums is the Timmons collection at the | big 14-room Timmons homestead here. In the one room are probably 300 old firing pieces, most of which are rifles. They range from guns used by Arabs centuries ago to the handmade, long-barreled rifles with which Dan- fel Boone’s contemporaries impartially | knocked the ears off squirrels or! stopped bears. ‘The guns are ranged about the walls of the room, while in the center are piles of equipment that went with the rifles; bayonets of all shapes and sizes, sabers of cavalrymen and the more ornate swords of “officers and | gentlemen.” and powder horns by the dozen. | & part; pistols that must have packed | the “kick” of a mule. ‘The Timmons brothers were many | years in gathering these relics.
