RETURN RENVILLE
ENCYCLOPEDIAS

The second of several sets of en-
cyclopedias taken by a thief who
visited this county and surrounding
counties early in December was re-
turned last week when j. S. Burrell,
superintendent of Renville county
schools, went to Minneapolis to iden-
tify a set taken near Fairfax.
After the theft of set of 1.-THE
World Bookman," ten volumes, and
a like theft in Redwood county, the
story begins with the state agent for
the publishers, Paul Meyers. Meyers
heard that man was offering for
sale in that city two sets of used
books of the title mentioned at rid
iculously low prices.
He made tour Of stores selling
second hand books and discovered
the two sets in one of the stores. The
markings in one set indicated that
they belonged to a rural school dis
trict in Redwood county and this set
was returned. The ownership of the
other, however, could not be placed.
Superintendent Burrel learned of
the Redwood county set being return
ed, and went to claim the other. The
store owner turned it over to Super
intendent Burrell without any question
but if Identification had been neces-
sary, Superintendent Burrell found a
students paper, from the school, IN
one of the books which would place
the identity of them without a doubt.
His set was 1929 edition and cost
$65.0O. The set was stolen from Dis
trict %, east Of Fairfax, of which
Miss Mabel Bauermeister, is instruc-
tor.

MAP STEPS FOR
FULL STUDY OF
VETERANS AID
Joint Committee Will Hold
Congressional Quiz
Hearings.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The
study of veterans benefits just be-
gun by a joint committee of SEN
ators and representatives may ex-
tend far beyond Jan. /, the time set
by congress for a final report.
The committee has been holding
executive sessions for the past few
days trying to decide on course Of
procedure. Hearings will be held.
It has two alternatives, considera-
ton of economies which have been
proposed in various items Of the an
nual budget for veterans, or the
much broader task of formulating a
national policy to govern all future
action on the subject.
If it decides on the second course
it's deliberations may extend over
months.
Hines Plan Announced
Brigadier- General Frank T. Hines,
chief of the veterans adminiStra-
ton, believes the government should
give veterans disqualification, domi-
ciliary care, and preference in en-
ployment-and, in addition none
tary compensation for service con-
nected disabilities, and pensions "at
such a period in the life of a vet
eran when he is unable to carry on
and earn adequate support for him
SELF
1t is in this last suggestion that
Hines departs both from existing
veterans laws, and from the views
of those who advocate drastic re-
duction of benefits.
The law at present extends bene-
fits to disabled veterans whether or
not disabilities were incurred while
serving the United States.
Hines would not cut off entirely
from government aid veterans whose
disabilities originated after their
discharge from service, but he would
make them depend on the financial
condition of the applicant.
Big Savings Is Sought
This same principle was Sug-
gested in President Hoover's budget
message to congress in which he
proposed that compensation and
disqualification for veterans with
non service connected disabilities be
limited to those who saw active
service in a zone of actual hoStilities,
and whose net income in the year
previous to application was not
more than $500 if single and So, 500
if married.
President Hoover's proposals
called for saving in the annual
budget of $127OOO,00O in veterans
expenditures. Others have de-
manded that a $3.50, 100000 saving be
made.

AS EXTRA HELP
AT POSTOFFICE
Preparations for Annual
Christmas Rush Are
BEING Made.

The annual hustle and hustle of
preparation for the Christmas mail
rush was under way at the postof-
flee today as approximately 600 ex-
ira postal workers were being sworn
in for service during the holiday
season.
Those sworn in include about two
hundred substitute clerks and car
riers, several hundred on the civil
service eligible list and the remain
der unemployed civilians, most of
whom have had previous experience.
Postmaster Leslie D. Clancy is
making preparations for establish
ment of a special holiday parcel post
station at the state Playground, and
for borrowing trucks from the army
and national guard for delivery OF
Christmas parcels
Mail Greetings Early
Clancy again called attention of
the public to necessity for mailing
Christmas greeting cards and par
GELS early.
This annual warning is especially
important, this year, he said, in
view of the fact no mail will be de-
livered after the first and only
delivery Saturday morning, Dec. "a
Thus all mail to be delivered To-
cally must be in the postofice Fri
day night, or lay over there until
Tuesday morning, as there will be
no delivery Monday, the day fol-
lowing Christmas.
Wrap Parcels Securely
In order to relieve the last minute
rush, Clancy suggested that parcels
be mailed several days before the
deadline.
He advised also that parcels for
other cities be mailed at least a
week or ten days before Christmas.
Packages may be marked mot to be
opened until Christmas"
Clancy warned that all packages
must be wrapped securely, fragile
articles properly protected, and
complete addresses given with the
sender's name and address in the
upper left hand corner.

MORE POWER is ASKED
BY TRADE OMMISSION
Weakness of Legal Position Pointed
Out by Federal Group.

Out by Federal Group.
BIZ Seripp8- Hovard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - The
federal trade commission asks more
power to fight business abuses in
its annual report submitted to con-
gress today.
The weakness in the legal position
of the trade commission, as a re-
suit of numerous court decisions,
has been pointed out during the last
few years by numerous students of
the subject.
The commission asks particularly
that congress put beyond question
the right of the commission to make
Investigations upon request Of the
President or either house of con-
gress, and suggests that such legis-
lation might set at rest legal doubts
as to the commissions power to de-
mand attendance of witnesses and
production of documents.
The commission has had to fight
the Electric Bond and Share Com
pany in the courts for the last three
years to obtain access to it's operat-
ing ledgers.
