$4,000 RISK
PERMANENT
RATING
Assumption of Total Disability
After Period of Unsuccessful
Treatment Is Held Illegal.

The cases Of approximately Is 900
world war veterans rated as "per-
manently totally disabled" must un-
dergo review and suffer probable re-
adjustment with reduction in COM
pensation, as the result of decision
of the Comptroller of the Treasury,
just announced.
Must Pay Premiums.
This decision. which prohibits the
War Risk Bureau officials from here
after presuming that a man is perma.
nently totally disabled after he has
been rated as temporarily totally dis
abled for D. period of six months, means
than those who lose their permanent"
rating will hereafter be forced to pay
their insurance premiums.
Cases have heretofore been judged
as literally as possible by War Risk
officials the fact that a man has been
totally disabled for at least six months
and does not show prospects of imme-
diately regaining his faculties, being
considered sufficient to award a man
permanent" compensation at the rate
OF 500 per month,
Maximum to Be SEQ.
The maximum difference to be suf-
fered by those losing their permanent
ratings under the new Interpretation
Of rule ST. will be $40. Provisions
for those temporarily totally disabled
are: Single man, $50 per month: mar
ried man, no children, 500; married
man. one child. $95; married man, two
children, 800.
Thus those men now rated at per.
rl0 ~ q g.
the temporary" class, will still re-
ceive their 500 If they are married,
and have, two children, The. greatest
difference, in compensation allowed
will be $40, in the case Of single men.
Those, who lose their permanent"
rating, however, will hereafter be re-
quired to carry their own insurance,
paying the premiums heretofore al.
lowed with the permanent" rating.
This new decision of the comptr oller
has been ordered:
Legality Studied.
The Comptroller's decision, came
after a study of the legality Of the
Bureaus assuming the right to pre-
sumo" man permanently disabled
at a time when he has been tenn
porarily, though continuously disabl-
ed. The Comptroller finds no
grounds for the Bureau exercising
this presumptive privilege.
The order Is now in the hands OF
the general counsel Of the War Risk
Bureau. whore recommendations for
putting It into effect with the least
confusion will be outlined for pre-
sentation to Director Forbes.
The change will mean that twelve
or fifteen thousand cases must be
again reviewed and each one again
decided purely on the medical facts
available.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, July 28.-
The Governor of Illinois was lost"
early today.
Len Small, under Indictment on
charges involving misuse Of s2,500,-

from sight late yesterday when his
legal advisers reported him leaving
Chicago. His whereabouts early to-
day were unknown.
Not at Kankalxee.
Reports from Kankakee. his home
town, declared he had not arrived
there, while employees at the gov
ernor's mansion here said he had not
returned to Springfield.
Three warrants for his arrest on
the fund" charges were held mean

The States attorney, anticipating

THE habeas corpus proceeding
must be brought after the arrest of

THE legal form for such an action is
in this county. I cannot say whether

legally consider such a proceeding"
The governor at an early hour today
had not replied to the request OF Sher.

against him.
