A—4 *% PENSION PAYMENT BY RAILS DELAYED Retirement Board Studies Policy in Light of Bailey Ruling. By the Associated Press. Although the Government won what its attorneys view as a partial victory in a recent court test of 1935 rail- road pensicn legislation, the decision hes snarled plans for disbursement of benefits and put a major policy ques- tion up to the Railroad Retirement Board. Judge Jennings Bailey of the Dis- trict Court ruled void an act levying taxes for the pensions, but did not hold unconstitutional a companion act providing for their payment. Fund Seen Available. Officials said Congress appropriated $46,000,000 for pensions, and attorneys expressed the opinion the court ruling would not bar use of this fund for benefit disbursements. Designed to cover the first year of the pension system’s operation, the appropriation was made out of gen- eral funds on the assumption the Treasury would be reimbursed from levies imposed under the tax act. The Pension Board is studying its course of action, but Chairman Mur- ray W. Latimer said no decision had been reached. May Pass Question on. It would be possible, officials said, for the Retirement Board merely to certify to the Treasury that pensions were payable to designated individ- uals, thus passing the question of dis- bursement to that department. They added, however, that the Treasury probably would be consulted on any decision reached. Pensions were scheduled to begin July 1 for employes who were 65 years old or who had been in service 30 years. Based on length of service and earnings, and ranging upward to a maximum of $120 monthly, the pensions would average around $75 & month. Neither the Government nor the class 1 railroads, which challenged validity of the new retirement legisla- tion, have appealed from Judge Bailey's decision, but such action is expected. —_— PARALYSIS NASAL SPRAY EXPLAINED Health Service Declares New Cure Still Is in Experimental Stage. By the Associated Press. The Public Health Service said in a statement today that the use of a nasal spray for prevention of infantile paralysis was “not at present to be regarded as of proven value” in pre- Ventative treatment for mankind. The service said experimental work conducted by two of its scientists “in preventing poliomyelitis in monkeys by the use of a nasal spray has excited 50 much interest and speculation” that it deemed a statement desirable. Evi- dence up to now was based entirely upon experimentation with animals, the statement said. “While predictions cannot be made concerning epidemics, it is the opinion | of the Public Health Service that there are no indications that poliomyelitis will be unduly prevalent this Summer,” | the statement said. o Ethiopia (Continued From First Page.) until July 5 and the order for “mass reprisals” followed.

President Bares Negotia- tions Involving Florida Canal and "Quoddy. &y the Associated Press. A quest by the administration to find some use to which equipment ac- quired in connection with the con- gressionally disapproved Florida Ship Canal and Passamaquoddy projects could be put was described yesterday by President Roosevelt. The President said at his press con- ference that negotiations were under way with the University of Florida to take over structures built in connec- tion with the canal project and that he was working to find some way to use buildings erected as part of the Passamaquoddy tidal power project in Maine. The Florida negotiations are with a view to allowing the university to use buildings near Ocala as an exten- sion school for the training of teachers | the year around. Mr. Roosevelt said no plan for utilizZing 'Quoddy village had been formed, but that he expected a solu- tlon would be found soon. The two projects were started by executive order last year. Congress refused to appropriate funds for con- tinuance as provided in the War De- partment supply bill. An effort to amend the deficiency bill so that boards of review could be set up to ex- amine the worth of the projects failed when the Senate voted 'Quoddy down and the House disapproved the Florida Canal Board which the Senate had favored. It was originally estimated the canal would cost $146,000,000 and the "Quoddy project $42,000,000. Approx- imately $5,400,000 was spent on the canal and $7,000,000 on 'Quoddy be- fore Congress refused to provide addi- tional funds. TWO-LANE BRIDGE IDEA IS PROTESTED Wider Structure Needed to Re- place Chain Span, Arlington Man Says. By & Staff Correspondent ot fhe Star. LIVINGSTONE HEIGHTS, Va., July 8.—A protest on the possibility that Chain Bridge will be replaced by an- other two-lane bridge has been en- tered with the District of Columbia Commissioners by James William Somerville, Arlington County attorney and member of the County Democratic Committee from this district. His move is expected to be joinea in by other Arlington County residents who daily use spans across the Poto- mac. Referring to a two-lane span as a “one-horse-shay type of bridge,” Som- erville said construction of a narrow new bridge connecting Washington and Arlington “would certainly be a monument to folly” in a recent letter to Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen. He cited an official traffic count showing that a vehicle crossed Chain Bridge on an average of every 20 seconds during daylight and stated that the count was made last February in time of ice and snow, and added “traffic on the bridge is increasing daily because Arlington County’s population is multiplying.” In reference to the recent act ot Congress in authorizing the expenai- ture of $350,000 to replace Chain Bridge, the attorney said he under- stood District highway officials are favoring erection of a two-lane type of bridge in its place. Somervile also cited daily trafic jams at both ends of Key Bridge to advocate the building of another bridge across the Potomac somewhere be- tween Key Bridge and Chain Bridge. He suggested that this bridge be named in honor of Thomas Jefferson or Franklin D. Roosevelt. / @ ESTABLISHED 1865 o FOUR SIZES Barker Ventilator Doors Free Delivery 2-8x6-8 ____._$5.40 2-8x7-0 ___.._$5.80 3-0x6-8 _----_$5.50 3-0x7-0 GEO. M. BARKER o COMPANY e SN\ ,. & z m .

RICHMOND, July 8—Gov. Peery said yesterday that he expected to ap- point within the next few days two members of the Old-Age Pension Cost Commission, authorized by the last General Assembly session. ‘This commission of seven members, two named by the Lieutenant Gover- nor, three by the speaker of the House of Delegates and two by the Governor, will submit recommendations to the next Legislature. The old-age pension bill, whereby each dollar appropriated by the State would be matched by an equal Fed- eral sum, was passed by the House of Delegates, but was defeated in the Senate Finance Committee. Gov. Peery, who favored enactment of an unemployment compensation measure, was opposed to old-age pen- sion legislation until such time as more information as to cost was avail- able.
