DR.. JOSEPH ROGERS,
D. c. CORONER, DIES
Head of Casualty Hospital,
III for Year, Active Until
Several Days Ago.

DR.. Joseph Decatur Rogers, District
coroner and head Of Casualty Hospital,
died early today at his home, 1400 M
street.
Although he had been i'll for a year,
DR.. Rogers insisted on carrying on his
duties as coroner until a few days ago.
Then his condition suddenly grew
worse, and he was obliged to discon-
tinue active investigation of the cases
referred to the coroner's office, leaving
these duties to his deputies, DR.. A. Ma
gruder Macdonald and DR.. Christopher
]. Murphy.
Despite the seriousness Of his condi-
tion, however, he continued his Office
work until yesterday. He died shortly
before O'Clock this morning.
Born in Hamilton, Va.
DIR. Rogers, who was prominent as a
physician and surgeon long before his
appointment as coroner, was born No
vember %, 1880, in Hamilton, Va, the
son of Samuel E. and Elizabeth Cochran
Rogers.
Coming to Washington when about
10 years old, he entered George WASH
lngton University Medical School, from
which he was graduated in 1902 He
began practice as physician and sur
geon immediately after his graduation.
In 1925 he became president and su-
per1ntendent of Casualty, closing the
Stanton Park Accident and Receiving
Hospital, of which he had been presi-
dent and medical director. His ap-
pointment as a deputy coroner came
about the same time, although he had
been an acting deputy for some time
previously. He was appointed coroner
November l, 1881, following the retire
ment of Coroner J. Ramsay hewitt.
Until DR.. Rogers successor is named
by the Commissioners, the work of the
coroner's Office will be carried on by
DR.. Macdonald and Dr. Murphy. DR.,
Macdonald is the senior deputy and, in
the. event he succeeds DR.. Rogers,
another deputy probably would be ap-
pointed by the Commissioners.
Member of Numerous Groups.
DR.. Rogers was a member of nu-
merous organizations including the
American Medical Association, the
Southern Medical Association, the Dis
trict Medical Society. the Medical So
ciety of Maryland, Virginia and the
District, the Washington Medical and
Surgical Society, the Racquet Club, the
University Club, the Beaver Dam Coun-
try Club and the Loudoun Country
and an Elk and was active in the af-
fairs Of both the Board of Trade and
the Washington Chamber of Com
merce.
DR.. Rogers is survived by his &C.
year-old mother, who lived with him
at the NJ street address; two brothers,
Samuel Hamilton Rogers and Howard
Cochran Rogers, the latter of Hamilton,
and two sisters, Miss Lula Thomas
Rogers and Miss Elizabeth Megeath
Rogers.

IN MILITARY FORCE
Gen. Douglas Macarthur
Warns House Group of
Troubled Times.

Gen. Douglas Macarthur, chief of
staff. ranks the United States seven
teenth in military strength of land
forces among the nations of the world.
Warning House appropriations sub
committee that I'VE are living in trou-
blesome times" the Army leader said
practically all other nations are in
creasing their strengths" while the
United States has reduced It's forces.
World conditions are unsettled and
provocative" Macarthur said in testi-
flying before the committee which
drafted the War Department supply
bill for the next fiscal year. MANY
nations are passing through economic
crises. The tense situation in the Far
East, which for some weeks during the
past Winter famed into open hostili-
ties emphasized again the untrust-
worthinesS of treaties as complete safe
guards TO international peace.
Farley Results Negligible.
"The Geneva Conference for nearly a
year has been studying formulae for
effecting universal reductions in land
ornaments. The results to date have
been practically negligible"
Macarthur said the United States
has accomplished a degree of reduc-
ton in its land forces that stands a
unique example among world powers y
and added:
These reductions leave the United
States now the seventeenth ranking ma
ton In military strength III the world
AS practically all other nations are in
creaSing their strengths, it is quite pCS-
sible that in the near future the United
States will drop even further in the
relative list"
Opposes Sacrifices Of Men.
"It is apparent" he said, that the
larger nations are increasing their out
lays for military preparedness He
added he was "unalterably opposed" to
sacrificing trained man power" and
declared:
"The Army can suffer in all other
things and still carry out its main mis-
sion. Cut into its trained man power
and you destroy the military. framework
which supports our system Of national
defense"
Demands of the budget for economy,
he said, through limitations proposed on
training of the National Guard and
other reserve components of the army
strike at the very principle on which
our system OF national defense is based" ="
"At no time In history" he declared,
''has the United States had greater
need than now for the security of an
adequate national defense"
Ranks Russia First.
Questioned by Representative Collins
of Mississippi, chairman of the sub-com-
mittee, the General ranked Russia at
the top Of the list In organized active
and trained reserves with a total of
1S.873,0 900. France was second with
6,975, 900; Italy, 6,498 900; Spain, 2,324.-
900; Japan 2,177,000 while the British
Empire was ranged eleventh with 1,163,-
900, or below Poland, China, Rumania
Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia.
Macarthur said the United States had
1872 ,069 men in the active service and
307.120 reserves, a total Of 439.l or
below Switzerland. Sweden, Turkey,
Belgium and Greece

MOVE TO REDUCE
PENSIONS FOUGHT
Means Presents Appeal of
Spanish War Veterans
at Hearing.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The appeal OF Spanish American War
veterans against proposed reductions in
their pensions was put before the Joint
Congressional Committee on Veterans
Legislation today by Rice w. Means,
chairman of the National Legislative
Committee of the United Spanish War
Veterans
Several organizations which have rec
commended reductions in the annual
billion-do bill for veterans benefits
have advocated decrease Of $100, ,000,-
600 in amounts paid veterans Of the
war with Spain.
He told the committee no elective off,
Ger or member Of the Executive Com
mittee of the Spanish War Veterans or
ganization received any salary. the or
ganization never solicited funds and
I'VE carry our own load in caring for
sick and distressed"
He gave lengthy review OF the pen
sion system as established in 1861,
1862 and 1890, discussed the Spanish
American War and said that war was
the only campaign in which there was
never an act passed as an inducement
to enlistment"
Spanish War veterans, he continued.
had never sought a special act from
Congress for themselves. but have will
lingly accepted the policy already estab-
lished by Congress-
Judge McCord Is Heard.
Judge Leon McCord of Montgomery,
Ala, also presented to the committee
the Spanish war soldiers appeal that
their pension structure "be left alone "
He told the committee that two years
ago he began drawing a pension of $50
q month, and added:
We're getting older We can't prom
ise to save you money except that we'll
promise you we will die at the rate of
5000 men q year."
He contended 10 per cent reduc-
tion in the small amount" paid the
veterans would mean more to our SOL
diers than to anybody else" remarking
There's only about IL years left to
us If we live our lives out
