OPPOSE PLAN TO CUT
VETERANS COMPENSATION

TRENTON, April 1S-Frank Muc-
cioli. state commander of the Dis
abled American Veterans of the
World War, has filed a protest with
Frank T. Hines, director of the Vet
Grams Bureau at Washington and
with General Organ, counsel for the
Congressional Veterans Bureau
probe committee, against the pro-
posed plan to reduce the monthly
compensation of wounded veterans
who are undergoing vocational train
ing.
cation now being conducted by con-
gress into the affairs of the Veterans.
Bureau, the disabled men from New
Jersey will have some facts to put
before the investigating committee
relative to the activities of the bu-
reau in this state.
A resolution was recently adopted
by the disabled veterans of this state
protesting against the proposed re-
duction of the compensation of
wounded and disabled veterans of
the World War.
Commander Muccioli insinuated
that someone was trying to create a
furore over the pay of veterans in
order to direct their attention away
from the inquisition which congress
is now conducting into the treatment
of veterans.
1t was said that the disabled veter-
ans in vocational schools receive
800 a month, and that officials in
washington intend to reduce this
sum for reasons of economy.

in turn sold one to a man named
Jack McCabe. The latter brought
the watch to the station house. Both
men were locked up in the 65th pre-
cinct station charged with grand

two Is due to Louis Vogel, of the

sale of the watches. He notified the
police at the same time that Cuny,
who had just returned homo from
Manhattan at 2 o'clock In the after
