The Tyson-Fitzgerald bill, known as
the Emergency Officers Retirement act,
was. passed May "a, 1923. This bill gives
emergency officers the same benefits on
retirement as Regular officers. 1t de-
veloped strong opposition in Congress,
which has never ceased.
Opponents of the bill say it discrim-
mates against the private soldier. For
example an enlisted mans compensa-
ton for 80 per cent disability is $50 a
month, whereas under this bill the COM
pensation for an emergency second
lieutenant suffering 80 per cent dlsa-
bility is S9375. This increases to S375
q month for a general.
Extension Made.
An amendment to the compensation
act by the Seventieth Congress, ap-
proved MAY 29, 1923, extended by two
years the period for filing applications
and increased the number of dependents
benef1tting from this legislation.

duced the rate of interest on loans. An
amendment by the Seventy-first Con-
gress, approved June 5. 1880, extended
the time for filing applications to f1Ve
years from January 2, 1880.
July 8. 1880, President Hoover ap-
proved an amendment directing, among
other things, that due regard in claims
be given to lay and other evidence not
of medical nature. This measure pro-
vides travel expenses and subsistence
allowances for witnesses, authorizes
disability allowance to any honorably
discharged ex-service man who has %
per cent permanent disability which
was not acquired in the service or for
which compensation is not payable and
removes the necessity for showing

for a nurse allowance is made.
Consolidation Authorized.
July 80, 1880, President Hoover signed
an act authorizing the President to
consolidate and coordinate govern
mental activities affecting war veter-
ans. There had been three agencies
