Gratis was in session today preparing

next week with President Roosevelt
during which the members will appeal
to the Chief Executive for a relaxation
OF regulations in the national economy
act affecting veterans.
The party's Steering Committee late
yesterday selected the committeeman
caucus held Thursday night to protest
against the administration of the act.
which, according to official reports. Is
causing the compensations Of combat
wounded veterans to be cut so per cent.
Action Not Unfriendly.
Members of the committee are: Rep
resentatives Goldsborough of Maryland,
Crosser of Ohio, chairman of the Steer
ing Committee; Lea of California, Pou
OF North Carolina. dean of the House;
Lozier OF Missouri, Patman Of Texas and
Hastings of Oklahoma.
In announcing the committee in a
formal statement, Representative Lea,
chairman OF the caucus, said ''the &C
ton OF the Steering Committee and the
caucus was not unfriendly toward the
President
On the contrary, this movement
originated with those entirely friendly
to the President.
Decided opposition was asserted in
the caucus to some of the regulations,
but the President was not criticized
therefor. The economy program must
harmonize with reasonable nberality
and just treatment to our ex-service
men and their dependents.
Representative Cochran, Democrat, of
Missouri, who spoke against the admin
istration of the economy act affecting
veterans, also said in a formal state
ment that he did mot assail the Presi-
dent. but did, as forcibly as possibly
could, advise the members that In pre-.
senting their objections to the present
regulations and schedule Of ratings af-
fect1ng service connected cases to the
President they be prepared to give ex-
amples Of just how the compensation of
the men wounded in line of duty was
being reduced"
Bill Introduced. :.
Meanwhile bill to return to veterans
disqualification cut of through the regu-
lations promulgated under the economy
act was introduced by Senator George,
Democrat, of Georgia.
Introduction of the bill was accom-
panied by brief debate, during which
Senator Reed, Republican, of Pennsyl-
vania, said II doubt If there would have
been corporals guard voted for that
bill (the economy bilD If there had
been any idea of the regulations that
have since been issued"
I'm making no complaint of Presi-
dent Roosevelt" Reed said, referring to
the granting of power to the President
to reduce this form of veterans aid. II
don't believe man walks the earth
who would accept such a dictatorship"
Senator Black, Democrat, of Alabama,
said his impression of the economy bill
is that the President now has the
right to order disqualification.
II do not believe" said Black, "that
the President was aware of the effect
Of the rule which was promulgated"
