HOSPITALIZATI0N OF VETERANS ATTACKED

WASHINGTON, March 3.-(By United Press. .)-Hospitalization of veterans of the World war lis blot on the record of the administration" Senator Harreld of Oklahoma declared today in the Senate in an attack on the Veterans bureau.
 Senator Ashurst of Arizona also joined In the attack.
 Preparations now are being made to appoint a special group of investl- gators to determine what phases of the charges against the veterans bureau shall first be examined by the Senate committee to make the inves- tigation ordered by Congress.
 Harreld charged that ,favoritism was shown in spending the $1S,600, 900 appropriated by Congress for vet erans' hospitals. Harreld also de- clared the records showed that there is one attendant to every patient and that sometimes there are more al- tendants than there are patients.
 Out in my country" said Harreld, these men are dying in droves. in their homes, because there is no hos pital for them to go."
 Demand that the Senate committee visit hospitals in the west was made in the Senate today by Ashurst, who declared he would lash with a heavy whip committee members who failed to go to Arizona and see the hun dreds of sick veterans and the flimsy inflammable buildings in which they are housed.''

Farm Credits Bill Passes During Short LulI in Des-
 perate Fight-Session Is Praised by Republicans and Criticised by Democrats

WASHINGTON, March B. By Associated Press. )-Work of the sixty-seventh Congress, which ad- journs sine die tomorrow, virtually was completed late tonight, because innumerable bills scheduled for en- actment were blocked by an unpre- cedented and spectacular filibuster. The farm credits bill, however, was made ready at night sessions for submission to President Harding, both the Senate and House approv- ing the conference report on the measure.
 Filibusters waged fight to obtain a vote by the House on the Senate resolution providing for purchase by the government $10,000.000 worth of nitrates and calcium arsenate for sale to southern cotton producers. In both the House and Senate they gave way to the farm credits bill, but wrecked scores of minor meas ures and tied up the closing Congress for hours. Overfowing galleries, in- cluding diplomats and high officials, viewed the battle, which was waged far into the night.
 Heflin Leads Fight.
 Interest centerd in the Senate fili- buster. led by Senator Heflin, demo- crat. Alabama. It began at D. m. with the declared purpose of block ing virtually all action until Hous leaders permitted a vote on the ni- trate resolution. Senator Heflin spoke for several hours and denied that the filibuster sought to "coerce" the public.
 Fi1ibustering forces contended that their only effort was directed against republican House leaders charged with denying vote promised on the nitrate measure. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, acting democratic lead CT, and others. disavowed and de- plored the filibuster.
 After nearly seven hours of the filibusterlng A hrtet truce was ar ranged to permit Senate action on the House bill to permit return of enemy alien property of sioooo, which was passed and sent to con- ference.
 Minor Bills Pass.
 In the House, ass the night wore on, the filibuster showed signs of disintegrating and a number of minor bills were passed without a show of fight by those who had been di- recting practices. The House session proved unusually dull for a closing night, with little enthusiasm mani- Tested.

NATIONS DAREDEvLS JOIN IN ORGANIZING A SAFETY LAST SOCIETY

NEW YORK, March 3.-Men and dertakings as looping the loop, sky writing. parachute jumping, wild animal training and high diving, which preclude their being accepted as insurable risks. have organized the Safety Last Society" to promote good fellowship and incidentally to see that the world does not miss any details of their death h-defying stunts.
 Among organizers of the society for which incorporation papers will be asked, are Peter Devlin. exponent of triple parachute drops; George Powers, trainer of elephants, and Harry F. Young, whose idea of a pleasant afternoons diversion is to crawl up the front of the Woolworth building.
 In the articles of incorporation It is stated that as long as insurance companies refused to give favorable attention to the stunt performers it was up to them to do all in their power to promote among them selves a spirit of adventure, courage and the doing of valiant deeds" and to keep and preserve for tomb hunt CTS 5000 years hence "an authentic record of the adventures and ex- ploits of it's members"
 There are to be several classes in the society. Eligible to Class A are parachute Jumpers. human flies, su per-aviators. stunt performers, stee- plejacks, arctic explorers, as well as chemists engaged in compounding high explosives.
 . Other classes will include persons who risk their lives in various ad- ventures but who have more of fighting chance to duck the wicked swings Of the Grim Reaper.

both countries were willing and an inquiry was made, apparently to es- certain if they were, and it seemed they were not. That ended it. That stopped us unless we were will ing to violate rights of France and Germany, which we could not per init them to violate in our case. In most cases, international and indi- vidual, after the facts are correctly and intelligently stated, there is no room left for argument"
 "The primary purpose of the committee of one hundred" MT. Root said, lis to get in to the heads of the American people a series of non-controversial facts to which every one would agree, but which nine-tenths of the people of the United States do not know-facts which form the necessary basis of all sound reasoning upon interna- tional affairs"
 The voters need certain elemen- tary data regarding national rights, national duties and national man ners, he asserted, and the next thing was to secure the means by which this information could be gotten into their minds, "some way of cut ting down the economic loss in the millions, billions and trillions of words precipitated upon the world today, which is frightful."

U. 5. WITHOUT RIGHT TO STOP INVASION OF RUHR SECTOR-ROOT

NEW YORK, March 3.-The United States has no more right to stop France from going into the Ruhr than France would have in compelling this country to natural ize the Japanese, declared Elihu Root, former secretary of state, in an address to the executive body of the committee of one hundred on foreign relations at it's initial meet ing today.
 "In the long course of the growth of civilization," spoke Mr Root, there have developed certain ways in which nations can help one an- other-certain good offices-media- tion, conciliation, arbitration, va rious forms of compulsion, justified only when the nation exercising it does so in asserting it's rights, and then it has only the right to assert its own.
 'For instance: A lot of people wanted us to stop France going into the Ruhr. We have no more right to do that than France would have to come over here and make us nat uralize the Japanese. Many people who realized that wanted us to me diate between Germany and France. We had no right to do that unless
