NAVY CONTRACTS FOR
23 PURSUIT PLANES
Contracts Awarded for Machines
Capable Of Performing at
175 Miles Per Hour.

Twenty-three pursuit planes, capable
OF performing efficiently at IT'S miles
per hour or more, have been con-
'tracted for by the Navy, it was learn
ed today.
OF this number IA will be Boeings
and will be built by the Curtiss
company. The planes will be used on
airplane carriers to supplant the
present TS fighting type, which has
been forced to bow before the latest
word in pursuit planes. They also
will be used for land operations, and
II is understood they will not be cons
vertible to seaplane use.
The Army already has a number OF
both types in production. the first
pursuit group at Selfridge Field,
Mich. being equipped with the Curtiss
PW-Ss. A number OF Boeings soon
are to be turned out of the factory.
The planes. while not resembling each
other in construction in the present
types, are about matched in speed and
manoeuvreability.
With the acquisition Of these new
fighting planes to the Navy's aircraft,
further production on the rs fight
Ing planes will be stopped, under the
policy of standardizing types of
planes, which was announced by the
Bureau of Aeronautics several days
ago.

PANAMA, December 16.-President
Porras has not yet approved the bill
passed by the Assembly last week
which would permit the construction
and operation by the city of Panama
OF power and light plants to compete
with those now operating under char
ter from the government. The Pan
anna Power and Light Company, a
$4,00o.)00 concern, financed In the
United States, Is the chief power and
lightiig company in Panama.
Minister of Works Duque said to-
day that~he could not state whether
President Porras would sign the bill
or vetoslt.
Personally" Senior Duque added. "I
am opposed to the government engag-
ing In enterprises which would con-
stitute competition with private in
terests already established. How
ever, have no doubt tina. the electric
company now functioning here is al
most lnonopolistic. AS this problem
can be easily solved an understand
ing m ght be reached by which the
govern ment might refrain from en-
forcing the authority given II by Con-
gress in the bill"
The belief was expressed by Senior
Duque that the President might seek
''an equitable adjustment" OF the
eIectrio company's rates and an i'm

HOSPITAL WORK
IS BEING
PUSHED
Veterans to Get Full Measure
of Desired Aid, Says
Hines
BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH.
International News Service.

Provisions of the Act of Congress
providing free Government hospitali.
zation for veterans of all military
operations of the United States
since 1897 are being put into effect
as rapidly as possible by Director
Frank T. Hines, of the United
States Veterans Bureau.
when the full effects of the
act are felt I believe the veterans
will receive full measure OF
desired aid from the Government {"
Director Hines declared.
No stipulations are placed upon
those who are to receive the free
disqualification excepting that thew
must have been discharged from
the military or naval service
honorably.
Further than medical treatment
gratis, the act, known as the Reed
Johnson law, provides that veterans
are to receive the necessary travel
ing expenses in order to enter
Government hospitals.
Disregard Origin.
Soldiers will be treated without
regard to the nature or origin Of
their disabilities" Director Hines
announced. preference, however.
will be given those veterans who
are financially unable to pay for
disqualification and necessary trav.
cling expense.
This provision is one that will
appeal to every world war veteran
as an example of the gratitude the
nation feels toward its soldiers"
General Hines declared that thou.

ing advantage of the statute. He
added:
Those veterans suffering from
active tuberculosis will be especi-
ally interested in the feature of
the law which provides that where
this disease appears before January
l, 1925. developing a 10 per cent
degree of disability, it shall be con.
clusively presumed that it is of
service connection.
Benefit of Doubt.
Such disabilities as neuro-psv.
chiatric disease, paralysis agitans,
encephalitis lethargica and amoebic
dysentery, developing a 10 per cent
degree of disability before January
l, 1925, have been given a rebut.

provisions will provide compensa.
ton and disqualification to many
veterans who before the passage Of
the act had been unable to connect
their disabilities with service"
The new act gives to the director
Of the Veterans Bureau the right
to delegate to the sub-district of.
fices certain powers which were
restricted to the central
office and regional offices, with the
object of making awards of voca-
tional training and of compensation
and ratings Of disability as quickly
and conveniently as possible at
the place where the examinations
are made.
For those entitled to vocational
training an important feature of the
new act is that providing thai the
test of rehabilitation is to be en-
ployed two months after this con,

in vocational training will be com.

The most popular colors in these

der the provision preventing, lapsa-
ton of insurance, where the veteran
is entitled to uncollected compen-
sation and becomes permanently
and totally disabled, or dies, insur-
ance may be paid in the amount
that the uncollected compensation
would purchase.
All term insurance shall cease on
July 2, 1926. Where term insurance
has matured by reason of total and
permanent disability and such total
and permanent disability has ceased,
the insured, while required to re-
new payments on term insurance,
will have two years, from the date
he is required to renew payments,

surance, even though this might
extend beyond the period in which
term insurance would otherwise
have to be converted.
