FIVE BELIEVED LOST

OAKLAND, Calf, April 27.-Search
was pressed today for five prominent
and wealthy Piedmont residents be-
lieved to have drowned with the cap
sizing Of their motor boat on Goat
Island. Airplanes augmented shore
patrols.
The 16-foot cupboard motor launch
Chickie was found floating bottom up in
San Francisco Bay yesterday. It was
discovered by John A. johnson, tug
man, who towed the craft to the Oak
land Yacht Club.
The missing, for whom hope was viz
tually abandoned, are Gilbert Loken, jr.,
San Francisco stock broker; Mrs. Mary
Loken, his wife; Varl e. Jefferson, Oak
land insurance man; Mrs. Lydia Jeffer-
son, his wife, and Sheridan Hubbard,

and a recasting of taxation systems.
The demands for veterans legislation
are expressed in terms of billions;
those for State subsidies at present in
terms of tens and hundreds Of millions.
The difference is tremendous.
Thus, the veterans certificate loan
law, as 1t now develops, promises to
take fully 81 900, 900 900 out Of the Fed
eral Treasury this year, when, for the
first time since the World War, a def
cit in the Treasury actually tmpends.
Representative Royal C. johnson,
chairman CT the House Committee on
World War veterans legislation, de-
clareS that this new law is merely pre-
liminary to one that will be enacted
next Winter which will have the effect
Of raising the total cost to $5,066, 000,-
600. Representative johnson also sub
mitS an analysis Of q long list of pend
ing veterans legislation with his eSti-
mate that the minimum cost OF Stt
would be In excess of $4,000 600, 600
or $4,000 100000 more than the total
appropriations for all purposes Of the
recent $4,000 ,000, 900 Congress.
On the other hand, Federal grants
to States in the form Of subsidies
which were only $80o0,0 900 in 1912 and
rose to $42 1000, 900 in 1920, this year
have grown to 5000 900 900. If all the
projects for additions and increases ir
this system now pending were granted
they would not much more than double
that. That is to say, the Federal sub
sidy system, existing and now pro-
posed, would entail an annual cost o.
not more than $500, 900 900, while vet
Grams relief, entirely aside from th'
new grant Of $1,000, 100000. is COSTING

more than $3.50, 900 900 and is in thu
