talks concerned the declaration,

Bonnet long held out for a more
definite statement in behalf Of

ground to show his government
that tentative approach at least
is being made to a return to gold.

REVIEW BOARD
FACES ARDUOUS
4 MONTHS
Men Presumed to Have Ser
vice Connected Disabilities
To Get Hearing

The American Legion today
launched a campaign to have
100000 veterans whose ailments
are presumed to be service con-
nected to Immediately begin a
defense of their compensation.
The action was taken as the
Veterans Administration moved to
establish 80 to 96 boards in all
parts Of the country to review
the right Of the veterans to re-
ceive benefits.
The boards are confronted with
the task of reviewing the cases
before October 81. Under the
compromise veterans plan ap-
proved in the closing hours of
Congress the veterans are to be
carried on the rolls until October
81 without change and longer if
their cases are undecided.
To Review All Claims
The Veterans Administration
now is preparing names of board
members for the approval of
President Roosevelt, in an effort
to review all claims in the next
four months.
If the boards operate on an g.
hour day they must dispose of
every case in As minutes, accord
ing to Legion officials
In addition to reviewing the
cases of the veterans presumed
by law to have service connected
ailments, the Veterans Admins
tration expects to review nearly
250,000 other cases of veterans
receiving compensation for service
connected ills.
Vets to Gather Data
Because the program will be
pushed rapidly, Legion officials
urged all veterans to Immediately
gather all evidence possible for
presentation to the boards.
While Legion heads here were
taking this action, representatives
of it's national rehabilitation COM
mittee for northeastern States de-
manded drastic modification Of
the economy act.
They proposed that no veteran
disabled in line Of duty suffer
a compensation reduction. The
economy act and administration
plan call for an average 18 per
cent cut.
The Legion committee also de-
manded continuation Of the pre-
sumptive act, disqualification for
diShonorably discharged veterans
who require hospital treatment
and full benefits for dependents
Of deceased World War veterans
be restored.

First Price-Fixing
Case Before |. R. A.
By International News Service


The first case involving the
fixing Of retail prices by manu-
facturers under the national in
dustrial recovery act is before Of
ficials Of the Administration to-
day.
The case is expected to open a
wide field for application of the
principles Of the Capper-Kelly act,
for which a long and unsuccessful
fight was waged in Congress. The
principles OF the bill were carried
in the recovery act.
A New Jersey motor accessories
firm filed notice that it desires to
enter into agreements with it's
wholesale and retail distributors
to maintain a uniform price for
their products, thus preventing
cut-throat competition in prices.
The firm was notified by Of
ficials that such agreements are
subject to approval under the law.
A group Of congressional stu
dents Of the retail business are
preparing a model code to be used

NAVY WILL GET.
S75,000,000
ADDEDFUND
Roosevelt Grants Swanson a
Slice of Public Works Money
To Modernize U. S. Ships

BY International News Service
Determined that the United
States Navy shall be maintained
at high efficiency, President
Roosevelt has granted Secretary
of the Navy Swanson an addi-
tional $75,O00,00O to modernize
the fleet, it was learned today.
This money will come out of
the $3,3oO,0Oo,o00 public works
construction fund and will be in
addition to the $238,0O0,0OO al
ready granted by the President
for 32-ship building program.
Thus, it will bring the expendi-
lures for increasing the strength
Of the Navy to more than $780,
100000.
New Policy Rules
The additional >$75, 100000 will
be used especially to modernize the
battleships, bringing them up to
full efficiency through gun re-
placements, new engines, etc.
This information concerning
the decision of the President to
grant $75,O00,000 for moderniza-
tion of the fleet was learned al
most simultaneously with the an
nouncement by Secretary Of the
Navy Swanson Of a new naval
policy designed to develop the
fighting strength Of the Navy to
q maximum.
Another new point in the policy
announced by Swanson was the
decision to further the develop
ment Of two main home bases on
each coast"
Maximum Strength
Reaffirming the intention Of
the Government to create, main
tain and operate a Navy second
to none in conformity with
treaty provisions" Swanson laid
down as the second cardinal
point in the new policy the
decision to develop the Navy to
a maximum in battle strength
and ability to control the sea
in defense of the nation and
its interests"
Both the intention Of the
President to moderniZe the fleet
and Secretary Swanson's new
naval policy became known al
most simultaneously with the ad-
journment of the Disarmament
Conference at Geneva after futile
efforts to achieve some sort of
success.
Ready to Build
Although the President had
offered to make further conces-
SionS to Europe in the way Of
cooperation to maintain peace
than has been made by this
country at any time in history
with the exception Of the World
War, the European nations still
failed to agree on any drastic
disarmament, the price de-
manded by the President in re-
turn for the cooperation offered.
Mr.. Roosevelt has let it be
known the United States will
build to full treaty strength un-
less the rest of the world is pre-
pared to diSarm.

small gold power told Interna.
tional News Service:
"The proposed declaration
doesn't amount to much. 1t
consists only Of piOus general
ties, but they all seem glad they
have agreed on something def
nite."
France and her gold allies had
wanted the paper signed even be-
fore Mr.. Roosevelt saw it, but
Great Britain stood by the United
States and flatly declined to sign
until America had agreed to do
likewise.
Members Of the American dele
cation spent virtually the entire
afternoon in conversations be-
hind closed doors, with the OBJ
ject Of finding some possible
basis for American adherence to
the declaration.
The An orleans, it was under
stood, favor vesting central banks
with the task of controlling fluc-
tuationS instead of leaving it to
the governments, but there was
considerable doubt whether this
would be acceptable to France.

here and in the field.
Extensive FurlOughS
The Veterans Bureau plans to
avoid dismissals by extensive fur.

throughout the country, 1900

excess work, many of these are
being recalled. It's attitude with
respect to dismissing married per.

that is expected to be all for the
