A2 %z TWO ARE INDICTED -INVETERANS' FEE Former Counsel of Agency -Here Accused of Excess Collection. In a case involving a disputed con- sgtruction of an economy act provision relating to veterans’ benefits, William Wolff Smith, former general counsel of the Veterans' Administration, has been indicted in Federal District Court at Little Rock, Ark., on a charge | of collecting a fee in excess of 10| per cent for obtaining a compensation award for a veteran. An associate counsel at Arkansas has been indicted, it was said the Justice Department. Lewis Smith, representing the @efense, today described the Indict- meat as an “outrage” and said the ey involved, $590, represented the lawyers and had been col- ough a judgment obtained e court in Arkansas. He plans e fight to have the indictment quashed. The case has been pending more than a year and at one time was said to have been under study by the dis- | trict attorney's office here. Court Orders Payment. The complaint originated in the Veterans' Administration whefe Smith | and associate counsel represented Ar- | thur E. York of Corning, Ark. De- | fense counsel said the veteran de- clined to pay the attorney's fee and that a judgment thereupon was ob- | tained in a State court and collection made accordingly. According to the records of the Justice Department, the Veterans' Administration opposed the fee as in excess of 10 per cent and disputed | Smith's contention that the veterans | benefit repeal clause of the economy act passed in the Roosevelt adminis- tration took off that limit. The Jus- | tice Department then presented the case in court. $500 Bond Is Posted. Smith posted $500 bond before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage to answer the indictment, but it has not been decided when it will come up. Angus D. MacLean, | Assistant Attorney General, said this morning there has been some talk of handling the case here and that that will be satisfactory. There are a number of similar cases pending, he added, where the economy act re- | they are ready to speak. b What’s What . Behind News . In Capital Secret Diplomatic Move Made to Roosevelt to Save Peace. BY PAUL MALLON. OT all the peace moves made by N President Roosevelt lately have heen made public. There was one in particular which has been tied up by requirements for dip- lomatic secrecy. You will probably not hear about it until some one within the administration starts telling all in retrospect. The result of it, however, is that officials here are far less nervous now than at any time in (uonths. Of course, they never know how much faith to place in words, es= pecially private diplomatic words. But they really have ground to be- lieve that there is substance behind the published peace dispatches which lately have come from Eu- rope. Consequently, they have swerved from their expectations of a general war in Europe now and believe it will | occur two years hence. Then Ger- many will be ready. Public Lull Expected. What is expected now is a lull in | the situation publicly, while London | and Rome dicker through Paris.

The only trouble is that every one projected his face a little farther than necessary, thus complicating a peace- ful withdrawal of necks.

President Roosevelt’s return to the “breathing spell” precincts of Govern- ment means the beginning of some concentrated effort on the part of the administration to meet the issue which has been making most rapid inroads on its strength—Government borrowing, Government spending, and Government deficits. Nearly every disinterested poll taken shows that, however friendly the voters may be to the New Deal, they want to know when the spending is going to end and whether the Ameri- can dollar is going to remain sound. Mr. Roosevelt and his colleagues will, in due time, argue that the heavy expenses already incurred were needed, but what is more important now is to establish a downward trend for the future. The general impression hereabouts is that Mr. Roosevelt would like to be able to promise a deficit | of not more than $2,000,000,000 and possibly less for the fiscal year be- ginning July 1, 1936, and running to July 1, 1837. Budget Being Prepared. ‘The budget for that period—known as the “fiscal year 1937"—will be made up in the next 60 days. It will be presented to Congress the first week in January. If Mr. Roosevelt can show that a deficit of, say, $1800,~ 000,000 or thereabouts is probable, as contrasted with a deficit of $3,000,- 000,000 for 1936, he will arm his spokesmen and campaign speakers | with something to answer the protest about unending deficits. The opposition, of course, will point to the pledge made to Congress in January, 1934, that there would be a balanced budget in 1936, but the | administration will endeavor to an- | swer that by arguing “emergency.” | The task of the moment is to make | it possible for the deficit for 1937 to be cut materially. As matters stand today, the $4,800,- 000,000 fund, which was supposed to be spent before July 1, 1936, probably will not be spent by that time, buL‘ will carry over well into 1937.

Duce’s Aims Explained. American officials at last have a sat- isfactory private explanation of what Mussolini wanted in Ethiopia. His military campaign was undertaken, as they now understand it, solely because of the domestic economic situation in Italy. His gold was being depleted any- way by an adverse trade balance. He needed raw materials. The tillable land in Italy was nearly all used up. His tests indicated that raw materials, such as cotton, could be grown on the Ethiopian high- lands. Furthermore, the young Fascist ele- ment was howling for action in the face of a bad domestic economic situation. Press Conference Dull.

Mr. Cummings answered the first few questions with the apology that he had been in Europe and did not kmow anything that had been going on in his Justice De= partment, Finally. an obliging stooge in the rear of the room asked how Mr. Cum- mings enjoyed his stay in Europe. This was the question Mr. Cummings had been waiting for. He leaned back and discoursed upwards of half an hour on the joys of a vacation in Europe. His audience was so fatigued at the end that it was glad to get out without asking any more ques- This is not a new wrinkle in pub- licity methods. President Roosevelt frequently has avoided embarrassing questions with similar congeniality. Newsmen call it “filibustering.” Stable Silver Price Likely. The inside expectation is that silver will be kept at the existing price, probably until after’ the turn of the year. An increased price is expected next year for political effect. Marketeers believe that during the last month the Treasury has been buying little. Whenever distress silver is offered in London, the govern- ment bidz 20% pence. That is what keeps the price stabilized here at about 65% cents an ounce, and is likely to continue to do so. More Requests in Mail.

The foregoing is subject to variation | from time to time and also to changes {in plan due to altered conditions. | Thus, very little of the $500,000.000 for public roads can be spent right away and probably will run over into 1937. This is also true of-housing and of loans and grants to cities, as well as river and harbor work. But the question of how fast or how slow to spend is not altogether a mat- ter of spreading the funds into 1937 just to make a better budget showing. | The other horn of the dilemma is that the administration promised to get 3,500,000 persons off the dole and into some kind of useful job by No- vember of this year. The latest figures show that about 1,500,000 have been classed as having jobs, though about 500,000 of these are in the C. C. C. camps. This means that only about 1,000,000 have been taken care of in the new made-work jobs. The problem is how to take care of another 2,000,000 in the same way. The 3,500,000 have been on Federal relief, so that it is largely a question of transferring them from local pay rolls of work relief or di- rect relief to Uncle Sam’s direct pay roll. This is what the Works Progress Administration has been trying to do. Projects Far From Workers. Originally, the plan was really to | develop worthwhile projects which | private capital could not or would not undertake. But the difficulty was that the unemployed were largely concen- trated in cities, while many of the projects were far away. Likewise, the average cost per man was too high to take care of the unemployed. It took six months for Government officials to divide the amount of money available by the number of men unemployed to learn that they had only about $1,100 per man to use for work relief. When this fact was ascertained, it | was discovered that housing projects cost about $2,500 per man and grade crossings about $2,000 per man and | roads about $2,000 per person, and all | NG__STAR, WASHINGTON, ‘Bnkery. who allegedly attempted to | met with D.

NEW YORK, October 24 (P).— Anthony Ferrone, & bus starter, was shot and seriousy wounded while working in a garage in the Astoria section of Queens. He refused to was only enough te use $700 per man for works progress. This practically forced upon the New Deal a return to the old C. W. A, which used to cost about $900 per man. From now on, therefore, the admin- istration plan, despite its best inten- tions, will be another C. W. A. The tragedy of it, of course, is that no plans are being made to absorb these men in private employment. The re- lief workers here think they never will be absorbed, and that the Federal Government will have to continue in- definitely to pour out billions to carry on what Rex Tugwell calls a “third economy,” under which the Govern- ment will keep on creating work for the unemployed.

Edelin, executor and trustee under the will of Mrs. Mary F. Henderson, to carry out the contract under which | Mrs. Henderson agreed 11 years ago | to sell the property at 2§22 Sixteenth street to the Lithuenian government for a legation. ‘The property is part of the estate John B. Henderson, sr., left to his son, who, in turn, bequeathed his holdings to Mrs. Henderson, his mother, with the proviso that at her death they go in trust to his daughter, Beatrice V. R. Henderson (now Wholean). Mrs. Henderson is said to have agreed to sell the property to the Lithuanian government in May, 1924, for $90,000, and to have accepted an initial payment of $5.000. Later, after the Lithuanian government entered on the property, Mrs. Henderson is said to have refused to carry out the agreement. No other payments were made. Before her death in 1931, Mrs. Henderson's adviser, Jesse Shima, is said to have told the legation that his employer was ready to complete the transaction, but he was informed no business would be done with him in- asmuch as Mrs. Henderson had legal counsel. The petition says that in 1927 the mansion was badly damaged by fire and that Mrs. Henderson collected in- surance totaling $5804.80, but re- tained it and forced the legation to bear its own expense. This, it was amplified, was in excess of the in- surance figure. The estate of Mrs. Henderson, the petition adds, now has an interest of only $8,500 in the progerty.

Xt ARMY MEN TRAN FORWORLD GAMES Prowess in Riding and Other Olympic Events to Be Shown Here. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR. Over at Fort Belvolr in Virginia there are nine geatlemen who might have supplied the inspiration for that famous song, “Little Man, You've Had a Busy Day. ‘They are the nine young men who aspire some day to represent the United States in the grueling modem pentathion events of the 1936 Olym- pic games, and who at the moment are preparing to give a demonstration of their skill before the crowds at the Inter-American Horse Show in Rock | Creek Park Saturday, Sunday and Monday. - ‘The fond hope of a pentathlon ath- lete is that he will be able to ride faster than any competitor, travers- | ing a 5,000-meter course over Olympic obstacles; that he will hit a bull's-eye 20 times in 20 shots with a revolver; | that he will swim 300 meters faster than all the others, who are trying to beat his score; that he will prove the best swordsman among all the pen- tathlonites in the world, and that he will be practically invincible in a 4,000-meter, cross-country run. Army’s Junior Tron Men. In order to become this combination of Pete Bostwick, Annie Oakley, John- ny Weissmuller, D’Artagnan and Nurmi, the Army’s nine junior iron men have to keep themselves approxi- mately as busy as a one-armed man wrapping cranberries in a roller coaster. It goes something like this: ‘The day usually begins with a bit of riding. Under the guidance of their accomplished instructur, Capt. Marian Carson of the 3d Cavalry, the boys gallop over some moderate-sized jumps on their practice field. They school for pace, learning to hit a two-and- one-half-minute lick (that's 24 miles an hour), a three-minute clip (20 miles per), etc, and to distinguish between them. This prepares them for the day when they will have to go | approximately 3': miles over foreign | territory, negotiate more than & score { of trick fumps and be rated for time | &s well as performance over the route. | After the pace exercises they may | be sent for a trial over an outside | course of Capt. Carson’s own devising | This is intended to prepare them to | jump the Great Wall of China, if | necessary. On it ome meets jumps going on the down side of a 45 de. | gree hill, jumps jump out at you from behind trees, from beneath the tall | grass, in front of ditches, on the other side of ditches, going up other 45 degree hills. When the pen- tathlon horseman has learned to es- timate the pace of his horse as ac- | curately as if it carried a speed- ometer, his next problem is to whip around this modified nightmare of a course at, let us say (with a slight shudder), 24 miles an hour. More to Be Done. If still alive and breathing after that jaunt, the officer does not im- mediately sit back and burst into fox hunter. Instead he grabs a quick lunch and rushes down to the target range. There he stands about 20 paces from a silhouette target, holding a revolver in his hand. When a voice says “one” he raises the gun at arm'’s length. Before the voice says “four,” indicating the elapse of three seconds, he must have fired, and, if he hopes to be an asset to America and a credit to his parents, he must also hit the bull's eye at least four times out of five. | Target practice is known as the quiet hour.

A. method of ho financing found a staunch supporter in John L. Weaver, prominent Wash- ington realtor, yesterday when most of the New Deal’s housing policies drew strong criticism from realtor | delegates. Weaver, during & session of the National Mortgage Board, characterized P. H. A. mortgage in- surance as “the finest thing that ever happened to our business.” Weaver declared the “old three and five-year mortgage is gone forever and the long- term mortgage has come to stay.” The number of Washington realtors end Government housing officials here had increased today to more than 60.

Mortgages Held Safe, Mortgage loans have proved during the depression to be safe investmen:s for bank funds, Hugh L. Clary, Cali- fornia banker, said today, and such loans must be made in accordance with community needs if banks are to jus- tify their existence. He pointed out that, contrary to general belief, mort- gages did not depreciate so much in the depression as other investment | holdings of banks. David Saperstein of Washington, di- rector of the Trading and Exchange Division of the 8. E. C., and Niles L. Colean, F. H. A. official, made featured addresses yesterday. Saperstein de- clared the second mortgage on resi- dential property will become obsolete, and that a security bearing a higher interest rate than 4.5 per cent will be regarded as extortionate. Speaking on the real estate bond issues of the fu- ture, Saperstein declared that in no investment field has the investor been more completely betrayed. Out of $10,000,000,000 of real estate bonds outstanding, $8,000,000,000 are in de- Tault, he said, and 20,000,000 persons were affected.

SANTA MONICA, Calif, October 2¢ (N.ANA)—Once the student sought the college. Now the college seeks the student. Preferably her scouts seek the lad who perhaps is muscle-bound from the neck up and may have a head shaped like a pine- apple cheese, but, if sinewy and supple otherwise, he brings deathless fame to dear old alma mater by making the all-American and graduating with the degree of P. P. P—perfect forward passer. So it's watch the pigskin, boys, and the sheepskin will take care of itself. Many a jerkwater university has been made immortal by oné noble cub built on the general lines of a piano-mover. And with a whole team of such scholastic prodigies she can hire a coach at four times the salary | the prexy gets and amount to some- thing as an educational center. Well, why not? The nations most capable of governing themselves are those whose youth learned discipline, seli-control, ip on the athletic fleld—learned there to win fairly, lose gamely and abide by the referee’s decision.
