STORE THIEVES
GET $3.50 j

Climbing down a rope from the
roof of a building in the 400
block Ninth st. N. W., after they
had first broken through a sky
light, thieves last night stole $3.50
in cash and $500 worth Of mer-
chandise from F'riedlander Bros
clothing store.
Mac Shaffer, manager Of the
clothing establishment, told police
that he had closed his shop as
usual last night and did not dis;
cover the robbery until the store
was opened at 8 this morning. j
The thieves, scattering clothes
over the shop, apparently found
articles that suited their taste
and left with five suits, three
dozen pairs of hose, Is dozen ties,
two top coats and Is dozen hand
kerchiefs, along with the money
they took from the cash drawer,
Police were inclined to believe
today that it might have been ma
inside job; as Shaffer told them
the robbers made their way out
of a rear door and had found 8
hidden key to the door.
No effort was made to open
the safe, which contained several
hundred dollars more. The
thieves also overlooked checks in
a section of the cash register
totaling more than 5000 and SAD
in currency. No definite clues
were left for police to work on.

HINES To AWAIT
CONFIRMATION
BY SENATE
Director to Go Slow in Uniting
Three Groups, in Order to
Avoid Arousing JeaIousies

Consolidation Of all veterans
activities may not be completed
for several months, it was learned
today.
Not only is the Administration
confronted with q delicate prob
lem in carrying out the merger
without offending veterans or
ganizations, but the success of
this consolidation may influence
Congress in further legislation
along this line.
Although virtually every ma
tiona1 convention of both political
parties has called for reorganiza-
ton of the Government, to cut
"red tape" and relieve the tax
payers of unnecessary expense,
the veterans consolidation is the
first real step in this direction.
Three Units to Merge
Three agencies, the Veterans
Bureau, Pension Bureau and Ma
tional soldiers homes are eventu-
ally to be brought into the new
veterans affairs administration.
More than $500, 100000 is eX-
pended annually by the three or
ganizations.
Mai. Gen. Hines, now head of
the Veterans Bureau. plans to
take no concrete steps toward
consolidation until his nomina-
tion is confirmed, it was said at
his office.
The. enactment by Congress of
the new World War veterans dis
ability pension act has also COM
plicated the problem of reor-
ganization.
It is expected that adrninistra-
ton of the pension law will be
transferred from the Veterans
Bureau to the Pension Bureau,
which now handles all Civil and
Spanish-American War pensions.
This bureau has lacked a perma-
nent. head since the death of
Commissioner Church.
Hospitals and Homes
Administration of hospitals of
G1IS VCOCId11S ouICdu anu GIlC
soldiers homes probably will be
placed under one head. One Of
the arguments urged for the con-
solidation is the lack of beds in
Veterans Bureau hospitals for
domiciliary patients. They may
be transferred to the Soldiers
homes, thus making available
badly needed beds in the vet
erans hospitals.
A reduction in the forces of the
bureaus to be consolidated was
anticipated when the legislation
was enacted by Congress, the saw
ing being estimated as high as
$10.O00,0O0 a year.
Because Of the additional work
which will be caused by the new
World War veterans pension law,
however, it is doubtful whether
there will be a material reduction
in employees.

BATTLE FOR MD.
OFFICES ON

ANNAPOLIS, July 15.-The new
city council, in its first session
last night, served notice that it
wants the State offices in Balti-
more removed to Annapolis.
In the late hours of the last
Legislature, a movement was
started to close all State offices
outside Of Annapolis and bring
them to the capital. The bill was
referred to committee and died.
The issue was revived by Alder
man Thomas G. Basil, and Mayor
Walker E. Quenstetlt said An
napolis was going to pledge all
candidates for the Legislature that
they would fight for the new bill.
Basil said:
Bring the Capital Back to
Annapolis will be our slogan.
The constitution says State o.
fices shall be located here, and
while there is plenty Of space in
the capital, the State is paying
big rentals in Baltimore for Of
flee space.
Besides that, we went the un-
employment situation relieved
here. And we do not want peO-
pie who live here to 20 to Baiti.
more to work."
The council appointed the
mayor, Basil and Councillor George
B. Woelfei a committee to reor-
ganize the back-to-Annapolis move
ment with KiwaniS, Rotary, Civil
tan, Chamber of Commerce and
other civic organizations in all
counties.
