HINES SERVES 35 YEARS; GETS NO PENSION WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR PENSION DUE TO FACT THAT HE LEFT SERVICE AT ONE PERIOD TEMPORARILY teri <2 By HERBERT PLUMMER (By Axxoclated ivreas) WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Amid jall the clamor which accompanied the reduction in compensation to veterans, nothing much was heard ft the plight of the man who, ince the Harding administration. thas administered the affairs of the veterans’ bureau. During the past 10 years or so, Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines has su- pervised the expenditure of around | $7,000,000,000 for pensions and operating costs of Uncle Sam’s agency to care for his ex-soldiers. Yet when the general retires shortly, as he is expected to do, after 35 years of service in the government he will not be eligible for a pension. Of course, in a technical sense it’s the general’s own fault. Im- mediately following the close of the world war, Hines was tempted to quite the army and venture out on a private enterprise. He sur- rendered his rank as a brigadier general to become vice-president of the ill-fated Baltic steamship lines. His company soon encountered bad luck, however, and he re-en- tered government service as ad- ministrator of the veterans’ bu- jteau, | Relief Efforts Fail In 1928 two bills were intro- ldaced in congress looking toward ihis relief.

Meet Miss Carr---Her Job’s A Big One ---State’s Official Labor Crisis-Meeter (By Associated Freas) HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug-} ust’ 2.—In the midst of nu- merous strikes and the great national transition of indus- try, Fennsylvania has assign- ed to a woman the task of guiding its labor policies.

M. Northrup resigned, charging Miss Carr was} agitating strikes. Without wait- ing for the resignation to become effective the governor dismissed Northrup and named Miss Carr his successor.
