self confessed slayer two weeks ago
of Clarence Peters. may have used
another automobile than his own coupe
that night, was offered tonight as hav-
ing important bearing on the case.
Police are looking for an automobile
dealer who, they believe can shed light
on this development. 1t was suggested
that discovery of second car might
reveal bloodstains which would dis
prove Wards statement that Peters
had stepped from the coupe with a
pistol levelIed at him and that he was
standing at the roadside when Ward
shot him.
District Attorney Weeks and Sheriff
Werner have been frankly sl1eptic Of
Wards statement that Peters was shot
at the lonely spot near Kensico Reser-
vior where he body was found. They
suspect the killing occurred elsewhere
and that he body was taken there and
thrown from the car.
Charlie Ross, supposed brains of
the blackmail ring which Ward claims
led to the shooting, whisked rnomen-

he expects to press for action as speed
ily as Is possible.
Aside from the provisions to pay
cash to veterans whose compensation
would not exceed $50, the McCumber
plan would provide for adjusted SER
vice certificates on which banks would
be authorized to loan funds during
the first three years and the treasury
thereafter during the 30 years of the
life Of the certificates. The certificates
would have a face value equal to
about three times the amount of the
veterans adjusted service credit at
the rate of 81 day for domestic ser
vice and $1.25 day for foreign ser
vice and the total would be payable at
the end Of twenty years or sooner,
upon the death Of the holder.
There also would be provisions for
vocational training and home and farm
aid. These and the cash and certifi-
cate features are almost identical with
those in the house bin, but the land
settlement, or reclamation feature in
the house measure has been eliminated.
There is a movement in both the SEN
ate and house to have some kind of
reclamation provision put back into
the bill and a special subcommittee of
republican members of the finance
committee opened hearings today on
that question.
