Chief OF VETERANS
WOULD CHANGED LAW
Hines Tells House Committee
New and Stricter National
Policy Needed

Washington, April cc.-(P)-Frank
r. Hines, veterans administrator, told
the house military committee Thurs
day he favored repeal Of many pro-
visions of existing veterans laws and
the establishment Of new national
policy based on need, disability and
service.
Testifying on the Blanton bill to re-
peal the emergency officers disability
retirement act, Hines said he saw no
reason for a man in government serv-
ice to receive two salaries"
He said he had recommended to the
house special economy committee
amendments to the laws to carry this
suggestion into effect.
The veterans administrator also
said he favored no disability pay to
those outside government service If
they are earning $4,000 and have de-
pendents.
He also recommended tightening Of
disability allowances to single men.
II know" he said, these sugges-
lions will make me very unpopular
with the veterans. But feel that we
should establish a principle. It will
do more good in the long run than
laxneSS."

CAPITOL THEATRE

AAASSA = avn
Three Of the foremost players OF
the speaking stage, and an actor who
is foremost on the screen In his own
right, appear together in "Arrow-
smith," Samuel Goldwyn's production
Of Sinclair Lewis novel. which comes
to the Capitol theatre on Monday. Be-
sides Ronald Colman, who plays the
leading role of the crusading young
doctor, there are Helen Hayes, Rich
ard Bennett and A. E. Arson, all o!
them bringing years Of fame and ex-
perience to this production.
Such an array Of artists would be
impossible on the stage, where no
single producers pocketbook could af-
ford so many. It Is unusual In films
too, for that matter, but Samuel
Goldwyn, sparing no effort to make
"Arrowsmith" an outstanding produc-
ton, has assembled a cast which bids
fair to be historic.
Helen Hayes, recently introduced to
the screen as star in her own right
in THE Sin Of Madelon Claudet," &C.
casioned furore on Broadway q few
years ago in "Coquette" and has ever
since been recognized as one of the
queens Of the stage. Previously she
had been an eminent comedienne with
stage experience dating back to her
eighth year.

Blunt WARNING TO
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
C|VENBY JAPANESE
Minister Of War Asserts Pur-
pose is to Make Man.
churia a Paradise

Tokyo, April 22.-(AP)-A blunt
warning to the league of nations and
Soviet Russia to keep hands off Man
churia was laid down Friday by
General Sadao Araki, Japanese min.
lister of war.
The warning, issued in a speech at
Osaka before the Kokuhonsha patri-
otto society, nucleus of the Japanese
nationalist movement, was later in
formally endorsed in foreign office
and in other government quarters.
Japan's mission, he said, is to make
Manchuria paradise on earth, safe
for everybody" and nothing the
league or anybody else did could
make her deviate from that course.
After declaring Japan would resis;
absolutely any attempt by the league
to apply the ne-power treaty, he
turned to Soviet Russia and called
attention to what he said was a
threatening situation in North Man.
huria due to Russia's rlassing troops
on the frontier and strengthening
her air force in the far east.
eve are unable to understand what
these war-like preparations mean,' =
he said. 1.-THE situation is becoming
serious. Russia is concentrating four
divisions in Siberia on the Manchu-
rian border. We can only wait and
see whether the storm breaks"
Japs Will Cooperate
at is time the Japanese made up
their minds to cooperate whole
heartedly with the new regime in
Manchuria for the establishment of
a great civilization in the far east"
he continued. "The league of ma
tions or Soviet Russia may attempt
to Illustrate our efforts, since both
object to our activities in that region,
but they won't be permitted to turn
us from our course. 1t is unneces-
sary for us to heed what they may
say about us.
"a certain country is talking
about applying the nine-power treaty
in Manchuria. Japan will resolutely
oppose such an attempt"
In authoritative quarters it was
indicated Japan's already badly
weakened ties with the league were
further strained by the recent res
olution of the committee of 10 on
the situation at Shanghai.
A dispatch to the Rengo news
agency from Hardin, Manchuria, said
Japanese army officers arrested the
Russian stationmaster of the Chi
nese Eastern railway at 1mienpo on
a charge that he obstructed Japan
csc troop movements, in cooperation
with Chinese insurgents.
Russian authorities at Hardin de-
manded the stationmaster's release,
