500 GET WAR !
RISK BENEFIT
New Ruling Gives Certain SOL
dier Patients at Reed 500
Per Month.

Notice that they would receive
500 a month as a result OF their
war risk insurance, placing them in
the total disability" class, has been
received in the past month by more
than 500 soldier patients at Walter
Reed Hospital and about ESQ SOL
diers receiving treatment at St
Elizabeths Hospital, as a result OF
Regulation 81, recently issued by
DIRECTOR Cholmeley-Jones. and APP
proved by Secretary of the Treasury
Houston.
RATED TOTAL DISABILITY.
Under the terms OF Regulation 81,
any soldier who has been an inmate
of hospital or an asylum during Q
continuous period of six months or
more. and it is determined by a medi-
cal board that he is incapable Of fol-
lowing continuously any substantial
gainful occupation, he shall be rated
as totally disabled.
In all 3,611 such cases have been ap-
proved by the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance since the approval Of the
reXulatioa, on November rs by Secre-
tary OF the Treasury Houston. OF
this number approximately .one-third
were suffering from tuberculosis, one
third from mental disorders and the
rest from general surgical operations
which render them unfit for work I'M
der the terms of the regulation
These cases are different from the
statutory permanent -disa bility cases
where soldier has lost his eyesight,
both limos, of one foot and one eye,
or where he becomes helplessIy bed
ridden in that they may be changed
to so per cent or even 10 per cent of
being totally disa bled as a result of
the patient regaining his health. All
such cases rated totally and perma-
nently disabled will be examined from
time to time, about six months apart,
to determine whether or not the rating
of total permanent disa bility. should
be continued or modified
CRITICISED BY CONGRESS-.
According. to the regulations. total
permanent disability awards may be
made retroactive to the date from
which the disabled person shall have
been unable to follow continuously
any substantially gainful occupation,
and was an inmate of a hospital or
asylum, but not for. more than two
years anterior to the date of the
claim. '.r
I'VE have been criticised by certain
emmbers of Congress, who think that
regulation 81 is too liberal" said
one official OF the ar Risk Bureau to-
day" but / don't think we are.
I'm fact, we are not as liberal
as big New York life insurance
company which has a policy provid-
ing that IL the insured person is bed
ridden for three months or longer the
policy will be considered matured and
he gets the benfit of IL.
II don't see why we should make
the solder suffering from tuberculo-
sis or some mental disorder wait until
he is dead before any benef,t Is OBJ
tanned from his war risk Insurance."

Congressman Thomas L. Blanton
OF Texas, who caused IL to be

satisfied to allow IT to remain in the

which he contended, namely extern
sion of the full bonus to the mem.

1t Is not expected that any House
members. will jeopardize the bonus
by fighting the payment OF a bonus
to employees OF the arsenals and

by wage boards from time to time.
II was this item that brought about
a prolonged fight in the Senate.

wives are tired OF going into their

whereby the husband would agree

Il have known very wealthy women
who have the greatest difficulty in

They allow them charge accounts in

all this is very humiliating. We must

|NCONFERENCE
House conferees Expected to
Accept Senate Amendments
To Bonus Bill.

Flushed with the sting of thres
successive defeats on salary mat
ters affecting the Federal en-
ployes, Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah rose in his wrath in the
Senate yesterday and breathed fire
and birthstone on the unionized
Government workers.
quotes FROM STATUTES.
He accused them by Implication Of
violating the law. He read a section
OF the civil service statutes pro-
hibiting Federal employees from
lobbying" In favor of or in opposition
To legislation, and even from com
municating" on their own initiative
with Senators and Congressman dur
Ing the consideration of measures
affecting their interests.
There was no doubt about the
Identity of those at whom his shafts
were aimed. During the day q stall
wart group of Senator'S had made a
determined night to suspend the SEN
ate rules. so that the clerks bonus
might not be stricken out Of the ie gfs-
lative bill on a point OF order; secand,
to give the navy yard and arsenal
employees the $40 bonus; and third.
to include the employees OF the Won
ans Bureau In the bonus.
They won out on every score. SEN
ator Smoot and his supporters were
roundly defeated. In the bitterness
of that defeat the former undoubtedly
espied certain representatives OF the
Federal Employees Union and other or
CARNATIONS in the Capitol Building. Or
perhaps word was brought to him
that they were there, cracking the
whip" over the heads of certain SEN
ators who were fighting Smoot on the
floor.
MAD CLEAN THROUGH.
At any rate. Smoot was mad clean
through and he read in stentoriau
tones to the Senate the law prohibit
ing Federal workers from lobbying"
Of making any move in their own be-
half.
The legislative bill carrying the
S24O bonus goes to conference today,
and the Senate conferees will make a
fight to include all the items in the
conference report that were insrted by
the Senate. 1t Is not expected there
will be any determined opposition on
the part of the House conferees
although the navy yard employees
bonus may lead to considerable dis
sension.
The inclusion of the bonus for the
Women's Bureau was opposed by the
Appropriations Committee on the
ground that this bureau was provided
for by lump sum appropriation and
that it's salary levels already were
higher than those on the statutory
rolls. Senator Pat Harrison of Miss
issippi lead the fight. in favor of the
bureau and won out. finally, by a
safe majority.
