PENSION ROLLS SHOW DECREASE
 SAYS REPORT
FEW CIVIL WAR VETERANS WILL BE DRAWING PENSIONS IN
 1850, SAYS CoMM'R.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. (P)-The governments pension rolls showed decrease last year of 13,002, Secre- tary Work was informed in the annu- al report made public tonight by Win field Scott, Commissioners of Pen sions. A total of 12,537 was enrolled as pensioners, on June 30 last The loss during the year was the result of the death of 46,646 pensioners which was largely offset by the addi- tions of 33,644 to the rolls.
 Although the war of 1912 was brot to a close no years ago, the names of 21 widows of soldiers who served in that war were on the pension lists at the close of the year.
 The total payments for pensions decreased from s229,994,777 in 1924 to s217,15o,612.
 The commissioner estimated that few of the soldiers who served in the Civil war would still be drawing their pensions in 1950 passing his es- innate on the fact that one Revolu- tionary War soldier lived S6 years after the close of the war, and one survivor of the War of 1872 lived 30 years after the close of that con- flict. fag H E
