day when L. A. Manchester, chief coun-
sci for the youngstown Co., shot and
killed himself.

of the trial. He ordered adjournment,
and, at the request of attorneys for both
sides, set Tuesday. July 8, as the date
for resuming the trial.
The shooting took place in Man
chester's office. The fact that he was
dead was withheld for several minutes.
The dramatic interlude in the trial
followed two days of opening statements
and introduction of voluminous corre-
Spondence files as evidence. The taking
of testimony was to start today, with
J. A. Campbell, veteran chairman of the
board for youngstown Co., on the
stand.
Manchester had been associated with
Campbell and the Sheet e. Tube Co.

HINES ENDORSES
HOUSE VETERANS
COMPROMISE BILL
Director OF Bureau Heard
as Senate Committee Takes
Up Measure.
DEMOCRATS TO SEEK
I INCREASE OF RATES
Veto Based on "Injustices" Sus-
tanned by Vote of 1873 to 1872
in Lower Branch.

BY the Associated Press.
The new House bill to aid World War
veterans was Endorsed before the Senate
finance committee today by Director
Frank T. Hines of the Veterans Bureau
Taking up the substitute for the
measure vetoed by President Hoover
the Senate committee questioned Mr.
Hines in executive session all morning
A vote will be sought late today by
Senator Watson. the acting chairman.
Moves to change the House measure
were in preparation.
Democrats were ready to seek higher
rates than those provided by the House
bill They would have a $50 maximum,
as allowed to Spanish War Veterans,
rather than the $40 minimum provided
by the House.
Legion Program Denied.
Senator Bingham. Republican. Con-
necticut gave notice he would seek
to substitute the original program of
the American Legion allowing for in
creased disability compensation awards
rather than straightout pension
Senator Watson has been an advocate
throughout for the Legion program.
Before going to the committee SEES
sion Senator Watson called upon Pres
ident Hoover. The President was I'M
derstood to be firmly opposed to any
increase in the payments allowed by
the House.
With a contest on the veterans meas
ure in sight. Senator McNary. Oregon.
assistant Republican leader. predicted
Congress would not adjourn before next
Tuesday night.
House UphOIds Veto.
The dispute with the White House
was settled late Yesterday % far as
the House is concerned. Shortly after
receiving the Presidents message en-
phatically disapproving the Johnson
Rankin bill. the House voted, 1873 to
1872 to uphold the veto and then with
only four dissenting votes passed the
Lanahan and Johnson of Texas, and
Milligan of MiSsouri-and the one
Farmer-Labor member-Kvale of Min
nesota-cast the opposing votes
How soon the compromise measure
could be sent to the White House was
problematic. Senate leaders were
hopeful of quick disposition, but be-
iieVed that depended upon the insensity
of the controversy. If the Senate
makes changes in the bill. these must
BE- accepted by the House or the meas
ure sent to conference, before 1t can
go to President Hoover.
As passed by the House the sill pro-
vides for pensions ranging from $12
to $40 monthly in accordance with the
degree of disability. Additional COM
pensatlon would be given those veterans
so incapacitated that they require the
attention of another person. A battle
casualty clause was included which
would give an additional S25 a month
to veterans wounded in battle.

The Senate today passed the House

ferred, were:
The bill to authorize merger of the
Washington and Georgetown Gas Light

the Howell local prohibition bill; the
street railway merger resolution: a bill
to tighten the gambling laws of the

OF Iowa Circle to Logan Circle.
The automobile financial response
bility bill was objected to by Senator
Blaine, Republican, of Wisconsin. who
said he thought the bill should be
amended and that he has not had time
to work out the amendment. The Sem
ate was working under unanimous con-
sent rule at the time and there was no
opportunity to debate the bill.
Merger Measure Goes Over.
The street railway merger resolution
went over at the request of Senator Ii
