 Washington, May 25-(UP)-| Here is an actual case of congress learning the provisions of a bill after passing it.
 Many good-humored jests have been made about congress acting as a rubber-stamp for the Roosevelt administration.
 Now the jokes seem to have a basis in truth, for government farm credit officials conducted school this week to acquaint con- gressmen and senators with the me- chanics of the new farm relief act.
 The instruction dealt particularly with the new farm mortgage relief law. Patiently, like school children with sachel and shining morning facej," more than 200 congressman and senators or their secretaries trooped into the farm board con- ference room and seated them selves on stiff-backed chairs.
 t'Now," said Dr W. I. Myers, eco homie adviser at the farm board, which in another few days will be transformed into the federal credit administration, i've will examine the details of exchanging mort gages for the new government bonds. There is the advantage Of lower interest rate and ."
 pr Myers once taught at Cornell. He was interrupted by a score of tardy pupils. He glanced at them reprovingly. sighed and began his lecture again.
 Farm Board Chairman Morgen- thau, son to be credit administra- tor, sat next to Myers with folded arms. tt
 Paul Bestor. farm loan commis- sioner, took up the lesson where Myers left of and was followed by Morgenthau.
 No one called the roll and there was no truant officer, so congress- men and senators could play hockey, if they studied the bill as 1t was being acted upon.
 one congressman popped up and interrupted Morgenthau with question about when field agents were going to be appointed. Mor- genthau told story about a negro preacher whose sermon was Inter- rupted when member of the con- gregation yelled:
 "What about dem chickens you stole las' nlghtf"
 "I'm going to reply to you as the preacher did, Morgenthau
 "'fIl see you after church about dem chickens, brother"

Many new changes in the Econ omy Act affecting the status or veterans with service connected disabilities have been officially or dered by President Roosevelt. Off, cial instructions have been received by Major T. J. Bannigan of the u. s. Veterans hospital at Newing- ton and will be interpreted and re- layed to hundreds of World War Veterans within a week or two. The changes not only save the compen- sation of scores of local veterans. but give many a better "break who have already been notified that commencing July 1st their ratings had been drasticaily slashed.
 Liberalization of the rating schedule, provision for the cont1n- uance of pensions to totally disabled veterans with wartime connected injuries until new examinations are given, and new instructions on pension benefits - these are out standing features of the order which, it is believed, will quiet large portion of criticism of recent veterans legislation.
 Major Thomas J. Bannigan, man. ager of veterans affairs in Connec- ticut, Wednesday night said it was impossible without detailed re. search to estimate the number or service-connected cases in con

The plaintiff was awarded that sum two weeks ago by a common pleas court jury. after trial of the suit that was based on the death of Mrs Frances Toletti, mother of Harry.
 The defendant asked that the verdict be set aside on the grounds that 1t was contrary to law, against the evidence and because the de- fendant failed to cooperate in and adequate defense of the suit. Harry sued as administrator of his mothers estate.

Roosevelt Orders
 Relief For Vets
Changes Economy Act So That Drastic Cuts in Conl-
 pensatiOn Are Averted

necticut affected by the new changes in the regulations made possible by President Roosevelt.
 Revision of the rating schedule is perhaps the most important change included in the order. Prev ious to the adoption of the regula- tions under the Economy Act, a veteran was rated on his physical disabilities on the basis Of approx imately $1 month for each per- cent of disability. The regulations issued after President Roosevelt signed the Economy Act in March set up grades of 10, 25, 75 and 100 per cent. Under these rules, a vet eran receiving a rating of "A per cent was automatically dropped back to 10 per cent and those with higher rating fell back to the next lowest of the grades.
 The new order, however, pro- vides that a veteran rated between 10 and 15 per cent shall drop back to 10 per cent, but that any disa- bility between 16 and 25 per cent shall be rated at 25 per cent. In all cases above 25 per cent, the dis ability, according to the order, shall be rated at the nearest grade.
 Another provision of the order, considered the most important of all, prohibits any change in a di- rect service connection allowed by a rating board as a result of re- views being made by present rat ing boards if the previous decision can be justified by any reasoning. The order also informs field offices that totally disabled veterans, in such condition permanently or tenn. porarily, will not have their com pensation reduced until they have been given new examinations. The new instructions, further, will make it possible for veterans hold ing honorable, ordinary and so- called "blue" discharges to receive pension benefits.

Rev Thomas F. Conlon, O.P., of New York, son of MT and Mrs Thomas E. Conlon of 71 Clinton street and national director of the Holy Name Societies, told members of the graduating class of St Mary's Hospital Training School lastS night at commencement ex- ercises in the Nurses auditorium that this city is a long way from Rome and St Mary's hospital is far from the Holy Spirit hospital, yet both exist to-day for the purpose outlined by Pope Innocent III.
 The speaker told his audience that Catholic nurses have a won- derful opportunity to alleviate the pain of body in order to give more freedom to the soul and may ad- vance the glorious apostolate of the Divine Samaritan who brought the ailing to the very doors of the church in order that they receive its healing ministra- tions for body and soul.
 Rev Francis O'Shea, temporary pastor of the Church of the Im- maculate Conception, presented 27 girls. t6 from this city, with their certificates. The auditorium was decorated in the class colors of old rose and silver.

Given Post
On July IS, 1868. General Ames
was appointed provisional govern
or of Mississippi under the act
of Congress providing for such
temporary government. In Novem-
Der of the following year an cleo
ton was held under his jurisdie-
tion and on January III. 1870, the
legislature was convened and ne
was elected to the United States
Senate. In 1878 he was chosen
governor Of Mississippi by popu-
lar vote and resigned from the
Senate. During his term as gov
ernor serious trouble broke out
between the whites and negroes.
and General Ames organized the
State Militia to restore peace.
As an aftermath of these dis
turbanees. his opponents for the
first time after the war put
ticket in the field and won the
election. With the victory for
the southern Democrats, the gov
|ernor, who charged that his oppon-
ents had resorted to Intimidation
and fraud, was faced with inn
parchment. General Ames offered
to resign if the impeachment pro-
ceedings were withdrawn. This
was done and he resigned in 1876.
He was the last northern govern
on of a southern state.
When the Spanish war broke
out, General Ames, who had re-
turned to the north, offered his
services to President Mckinley and
was commissioned a brigadier-gen-
eral Of volunteers, serving in the
Santiago campaign. He was one
of the signers Of the round rob-
in" which criticized the equipment,
medical and food supplies of the
American army in Cuba. His
military career ended with his hon
orable discharge from the army
