Chairman Harrison and other members
Of the Senate Finance Committee.
While Senator Robinson of Arkansas
estimated the savings from veterans
benefits and Federal salary cuts in
excess of s500,000. 900" and the vet
erans' savings at around S400 0,O00,0 900.
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, veterans
administrator, told the combined COM
mittee meeting the minimum veterans
savings would be $383,000, 900.
Hines. Solicitor Roberts of the vet
erans' administration, and Lewis w.
Douglas. budget director, appeared be-
fore the two committees to explain the
bill
Mr. Roosevelt's second message In as
many days-this one urging balanced
budget as 'the first concern Of the Ma
tion'-was listened to attentively yes
terday in both branches. There was an.
immediate chorus of approval, which set
the defenders of gratuities to the vet
Grams to drumming up opposition IN
frantic haste.
Soon after hearing the message,
asserting "it is too late for a leisurely
approach to this problem, we
must move with direct and reSolute
purpose now," the House created the
Special Economy Committee. and within
few hours it met jointly with the
Senate Finance Committee.
In addition to McDufie, Speaker
Rainey appointed Representatives Mil
ligan of Missouri and .Woodrum Of Vir-
ginia, Democrats, and Taber of New
York, McGugin of Kansas, Republicans,
to the special Economy Committee.
McDufie headed the special Econ
omy Committee last year and Is chair
man of the Joint Congressional Com
mittee on veterans legislation, which
recently completed an exhaustive inves-
tigation, and is now drafting report.
Woodrum is chairman of the House
Appropriations Subcommittee that han
dies the veterans expenditures. Taber
and McGugin have been advocates OF
reductions in veterans outlays.
Representative Rankin of Mississippi,
advocate of the cash bonus and sponsor
of much veterans legislation, contend
ed the proposal should 60 to the Vet
erans' Committee which he heads. Ran
kin said he opposed making disabled
veterans" the goats Of this depres-
sion"
Byrns pointed out that no House
committees had been organized and
that to expedite action, the select
committee was to be set up. The reso-
luton was adopted by voice vote.

NEW YORK, March 11.-This me-

Of the Federal Reserve applied through

MARYLAND AWAITS
NEW BANK ORDERS
Unable to Hasten Reopening,
Legislature Takes Recess
Over Week End.
~ a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

b. staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 1l.-Mary-
land today started the third week OF
its bank holiday, with the banks await
ing word from washington as to when
and how they could resume operations,
and the Legislature recessed over tne
week end in the belief no action 1t can
take at this time will hasten their re-
opening.
When Gov. Ritchie announced he
had extended the State holiday through
today, he revealed that Baltimore's mu-
tual savings banks had asked permis-
sion to open on restricted withdrawal
basis today. The request was refused
on the ground that compliance with II
would probably have been illegal, the
Governor said.
When the General Assembly ad-
journed for the week yesterday, "a
members of the Senate met with Secre-
tary of State David c. Winebrenner, Sd,
for a round-table discussion of the
States policy during the banking crisis.
Telegram Drafted.
At the meeting the Secretary of State
submitted to each Senator telegram
addressed to President Roosevelt asking
that State banks not in the Federal
Reserve System be put on an equal basis
with Reserve system members in the
issuance of new currency. Winebrenner
said Gov. Ritchie had suggested that
the telegramS be sent individually.
There was no effort made to secure
concerted Endorsement of the telegram.
however, and it was indicated that
some of those attending the confer
ence would not dispatch the message
Some took the view that a deluge of
kilograms from Maryland, supple
mented by wires from other States,
would hamper the President in his
deliberations.
Different Views Expressed.
Others felt the question had been
stttled yesterday when the United
States Senate overwhelmingly voted
down an amendment to the new
National banking act proposed by
United States Senator Huey Long Of
louisiana which paralleled the objec-
tive sought in the telegramS.
Still others took the view that had
the administration been able to include
some $4,000 State banks in its plans
for the issuance CT new currency it
would have done SO at the first.
Earlier Winebrenner at a press con-
ference outlined the viewpoint of the
administration on the banking situa-
ton, and said a scrip bill will probably
be brought before the Assembly Mon
day night, not with an idea CT imme-
diate issuance, but as an enabling act
in case such action should become
advisable.

| pricr to the Spanisl-American would
be cut fiat 10 per cent. These vet
Grams include those of the Civil War,
the Indian Wars and the few depend
ents of veterans of the War OF 1872.
Although the present minimum and
maximum rates for disability or death
are maintained. the President would be
authorized to readjust these rates
within limits to effect huge savings
| The present limits for disability are
| from Sc to S275 a month, and for
death, s12 to S76.
| The President also would be author
| lied to define the dates of the beginning
| and ending of all wars but the Civil
War, the object being to restrict COM
pensation for the thousands of veterans
now receiving benefits for service be-
tween November II, 1918, Armistice day,
and November IA. 1921. when the peace
! treaty officially terminated the conflict.
Further power is granted the Execu-
tive to prescribe the number OF days
service necessary in all wars except the
| Civil War to receive pension or al
| lowance, and to fix time limits on filing
| presumptions shall be INDUCED and
I other conditions he deems just and
| equitable.
Service-connected disabilities still
| would be given free medical apd hos
pital treatment, but only domlclliary
care would be provided for veterans who
could not trace their permanent dis
abilities to actual war service
Retired officers of the Regular Army
would have their pay slashed and bene-
fits TO emergency World War retired
officers would be limited to those In
jured in line of duty prior to the
e&i Droc
would be eliminated in the emergency
officer cases.
The salary cuts would be determined
| by comparing the cost of living for the
six months ended with June, 1928, with
that of the average OF the s1x-month
period beginning with 1882.
The only exceptions from the cut are
, the President, judges and others whose
nav, under the Constitution may not be
reduced during their terms OF oftlce
In the case of Senators and Repre-
sentatives, however, the statute Is pro-
| posed to be amended so the cut may
| apply to them.
Given Unanimous Approval.
The Presidents proposal was swept
en- its way last night by the unanimous
approval of the special House Economy
| Committee. Representative McDufte

| Democrats and two Republicans. BY

able formally to introduce the measure
at once, although the House was not

to sponsor the legislation in the House,
but that Byrns had declined to intro.
, duce the bill. Senator Robinson OF
Arkansas. Democratic leader introduced

OUR VALLEY
Bv S. P. WERNER
XI

The situation of. the Valley
with reference to the rest of the
country, when considered to-
gether with the assets already
enumerated, gives it Ger
tain distinct advantages. 1t lies
just across the Blue Ridge from
the centre Of the textile industry
of the south around Greenville,
South Carolina, fifty miles away;
it is within few hours ride from
Atlanta, and is the nearest to the
sea at Charleston of any of the
mountain sections Of the whole
Appalachian system; it is the nat
ural gateway to the Great Smoky
Mountains from most of the
southeast; and it is at the divid
ing of the waters of the great
Tennessee Basin and of the sys-
TENS of the large Santee and
Savannah rivers. A few miles
from Hendersonville are springs
separated only by a ridge from
which water flows on one side Cd
the Broad, the Congaree, and the
Santcc; on the other TO the Ten
ncscc, the Ohio, and the Mississ-
ippi; and near Brevard are SIM
liar sources going down to the
Savannah on one side and to the
Tennessee on the other. The
Valley is sort of ultima thule
to great river Basins with total
area greater than that of all
Great Britain.
As a centre of production and
distribution the valley then pre-
sents a down-grade in three direc-
tions to trunk lines of transpor-
tation, for more than three hum
dred miles each way, to the sea
and to the Lakes-tO-Gulf water
