Order Makes General Reduc-
tion in Vets Pay.

Denial of statements that the
Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation expects to reduce the pay Of
10000 disabled world war veterans
was made today by Uel w. Lamb
kin. director of the board.
RECENT ORDER AFFECTS FEW.
"The only basis for this assertion
is the action of the board taken on
February ~. which affects probably
100 men in the District OF Columbia,
who are employees in the classified
civil service drawing full time sal
cries for such employment. and at the
same time are in training and draw
ing in addition to the salary above
named. training allowance from 800
TO $40 per month";" said Mr.. Lamb !.
kim "The men referred TO would still
receive a total of $2.240 per year. OF
S1S6.66 per month"
the order would affect 900 men in the
District of Columbia and 10000 men
in the country at large. Neither OF
these two stat ements Is true. No
such action has been taken or is con-
templated." Mr.. Lambkin declared.
WILL RESULT IN SAVING.
Although the men affected will still
receive $2,240 year, as provided by
Congress. yet the annual saving Will
be from SIS, 900 to 100000 or enough
to provide beds for 25 to 80 men who
are in need of hospital treatment, he
said.

MORE CARSON
BERWYN ROUTE
Company Complies With Citi-
zens' Request for Additional
Service to BranchviIIe.

Increased street car service to
Berwyn and Branchville, Nd, will
be provided after April /, William
F. Ham, president of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company,
announced today. A 30-minute serv-
ice, instead of 45-minute service,
becomes effective next week.
FOLLOWS REQUEST.
These changes were made following
a request of the citizens in this sec
ton who called on Mr.. Ham recently
seeking this and other changes in the
schedule. All of the requests of the
citizens were granted.
Branchville is a small section about
1900 feet outside of Berwyn. Here
tofore anly two or three cars day
have run to Branchville. but under the
new schedule all cars going to Berwyn
will also go to the further point.
The official statement of the COM
pany explaining it's changes follows:
"As a result of conferences with
committee representing community
organizations of Berwyn. College
Park, Branchville. and Beltsville.
which communities are served by the
Maryland line of the City and Sub
company has prepared a new sched-
ule which will be put into effect on
April 1.
About a month ago the committee
called upon President Ham and re-
quested an increased service to Ber-
wyn, the operation of cars to Branch
vile instead of only to Berwyn. and
Encouragement of the Laurel service
so that school children would not
have to make unnecessarily long
waits after being dismissed from
school.
The last schedule was put into ef-
feet on January IL and met with con-
siderable opposition from patrons
along the line, inasmuch as it was
somewhat of reduction from the
previous schedule. Thereupon, the
committee called upon President Ham
TO see IL some improvement could not
be made.
NEW SCHEDULE PREPARED.
A new schedule was. therefore, pre-
pared and when put into effect on
April l will provide a thirty minute
service between the Treasury and
Branchville, instead Of the forty-fve
minute service now in effect to Ber-
wyn only. During the day a one-man
car will operate between Branchville
and Laurel under varying headways
to meet travel requirements, such as
church atherings, taking in and dis
missal of schools, and other traffic
movements. The operation of this
car is the result of a suggestion made
by the committee when they called
upon President Ham. A platform is
being constructed at Branchville so
as to provide accommodations for
passengers who change cars at that
point.
"rhe new schedule meets with all
the requests which the committee
made and the officials OF the company
have called upon the chairman OF the
committee, Prof. c. p. Close, for as
sistance in advising as to the placing
of cars to meet traffic requirements.
receiving very valued suggestions
which have been embodied in the conf
pleted schedule"
