BERLIN, April 2% (Associa‘ed Press).—The Berlin newspapers, wiih ‘the exception of the extreme conser- vative organs, in commenting on the German count: proposals on repara- tions, made public to-day, xpress hope that these proposals will at least form the basis for new negotiations which will prectude the occupation of further German territory and the ap- Plication of additional penalties afrer May 1.

Mr, Untermyer announced that of these only those affecting housing construction would be the subject of inquir: Mr. Ainsworth refused to sign a walver of immunity from prosecution which might result from his testi- mony. Mr.:Untermyer directed him to step aside because the committee was not minded to give him im- etary munity. He was warned not to leave the room, Frederick H.

WALSH DEMANDS POLICE BLL VETO FAR TREATMENT BY VLAN HINTED FORE SOLDIERS FUNDS ARE LACKING Massachusetts Senator Intro-,; Where Is the Money to Come duces Bill Designed to Re- lieve Existing Conditions. | WASHINGTON, April 27,—Treat- ment of former soldiers in the mat- ters of hospital care, compensation, vocational training and insurance was criticised severely to-day ‘by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachu- setts, who introduced a sheaf of bills to remedy conditions about which the war erans have complained Senator Walsh pronounced “in- credible” some of the conditions administering soldier relief laws, “In many soldier hospitals, he declared, there is “lack of sanitary accommo- dations, uncleanliness, disorder and filth,” as well as inadequate medical care. Insurance benefits are our- tailed and yocational training denied. Veterans, he said, were ‘discouraged and despondent at the Government's treatment and red tape. That the three principal agencies of soldier rehabiliation, the War Risk Insurance Bureau, the Federal Board for Vocational Bducation and the Public Health Service, had “failed miserably” in co-ordinated effort was } From?

To aid the veterans Senator , Walsh's bills would provide a con-| structive programme of including: Repeal of the law forbidding pny- ment of compensation to incapacifared ex-service men unless their disability legislation, occurred within one year after dis- | charge, Repeal of the law limiting filing of claims to five years after the armis- tice, Repeal of the law requiring veterans | | at Hearing. Mayor Hylan gavé public hearings to-day on fifty-eight bills passed by the Legislature.

Opponents of the measure, which is mandatory, claim it deprives patrol- men from becoming first grade dete tives through merit, giving the pref- erence to favorites of the Commis- sioner who haye been transferred without examination to the detective force because of “pull.” It ts further asserted this Is against the spirit of home rule in that it was sponsored by up-State legislators who have no interest in New York City's wel- fare, and that if put into effect it will cost taxpayers $350,000 between now and the first of the year and at least $650,000 a year thereafter, Water W.
