ASKS $2,500,000,0O0
BE PAID VETERANS
V. F. W. Commander Requests Spe-
cial Session to Authorize Ger
tifcate Payments.

AS means of aiding the admins
trations recovery drive, James E. Van
zandt of Washington, commander in
chief of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars,
suggested to President Roosevelt yester-
day the calling of special session of
Congress to pass legislation providing
for the immediate payment of adjusted
service certificates held by approx
mately 3,500,000 veterans and totaling
approximately $2,500 100000.
Comdr. Van Zandt said this would
permit controlled imitation of the cur
rency to that amount. and. according
to him, would act as a blood trans
fusion to save the life Of the national
recovery act"
The Veterans of Foreign Wars head
claimed the economy act has created a
number of unfair methods Of dealing
with the problems of veterans welfare
that it has inflicted what he termed
vicious penalties" upon more than
1750OO Spanish War veterans, who have
been deprived of pensions because OF
their inability to produce legal proof OF
service connected disability.
As outlined by Van Zandt, the out
standing principles of the v. F. w. for
new legislation include adequate relief
for those veterans suffering from injury
or disease incurred in war service, re-
lief to veterans suffering from disabil-
ity due either to injury, disease or old
age, and relief to needy widows and
orphans of veterans, regardless of the
cause Of death.

Agency Completes Organization
and Prepares to Aid Twenty
Applicants.

The Washington Office of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation is on the
verge of making its first actual advance
to distressed home owner, with the
receipt today of special deed of trust
forms to be used for securing loans
made by that office
Besieged with approximately 1,500
applications for refinancing of home
mortgages since it opened the first
part of August. tine Office has been
working diligently on Investigations OF
cases before it, and has put its stamp
of approval on 20 applications.
1t was explained by Paul Frizzeil
assistant manager. that the first six
weeks of the agency's operation was
largely taken up with organization
work, but he expects the handling of
future applications to be considerably
expedited
Delays have been caused by the
drafting of a deed of trust form to

ceeding slowly in order to establish
sound precedents for the future, Friz-
zell said
It is estimated that the 20 applica-
tions for loans approved by the Dis

CARPENTERS Reject
ALL PEACE PROPOSALS
Insist Upon Unqualified Right to
Install Radiator Covers;
1000 Men Out.

Despite efforts to settle the jurisdic-
tional labor dispute which has thrown
more than 1000 men out of work on
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and Department Of Labor Buildings,
the negotiations today stood dead
locked.
International officers of the con-
testing crafts-the carpenters and iron-
workers-will be here early next week
to attend the convention Of the
American Federation of Labor. and it
is expected the matter will be taken
up with them personally in a further
effort to harmonic the differences.
Carpenters Stand Firm.
Striking carpenters, who demand
their right to the job of installing
radiator covers, have turned down pro-
posals advanced by both the contractors
and by the Department of Labor
itself. Ironworkers were installing the
radiator covers, when the carpenters
struck, claiming this as their work.
Contractors, faced with interruption to
many parts of their job, closed down
tIlc WIlolc EIUJtCt.
The Department of Labor. it was
learned from an authoritative source,
proposed that the radiator cover work
in dispute be suspended and that the
carpenters go back to work on the
rest of the building. pending a perma-
nent settlement, in order that opera
tions might be resumed. The carpen-
tiers insisted, however. that they be
given the installation before they agree
to return to work on the buildings.
The proposal of the Department Of
Labor was understood to have been
agreeable to the ironworkers and 20
the contractors.
Harry w. Watts, vice president Of
James Stewart G. Co., general con-
tractor for the building offered to pay
both crafts for the job of installing
the radiator covers, leaving it to the
crafts themselves to decide which
should do the work. while the other
looked on, idle. This was rejected.
Meantime two jurisdictional disputes,
also involving the ironworkers. were
in an unchanged condition at the
Central Heating Plant. The boiler
makers are claiming the right to in
stall smokestacks, ducts, and other
work that is being done by the IRON
workers, and have struck in protest
Bricklayers threatened to strike unless
given the job of caulking around
window frames. which was being done
by the ironworkers. This work has
been held up by the contractor mean
time.
The boilermaker ironworker argu-
ment will come up for consideration to-
morrow morning at meeting Of the
Executive Council of the Building
Trades department of the American
Federation of Labor.

MEADE APPOINTED
RELIEF D|SBURSER
Named Officer by Commits
sioners to Speed Up Ad-
miniStration of Funds.

In move to speed up and to assure
efficiency in tine administration of re-
lief funds here, the District Commis-
sioners have appointed William c.
Meade as disbursirg officer for the Dis
trict Emergency Relief Bureau. Meade
is now an accountant in the relief or
ganization.
The appointment was announced late
yesterday by DR.. Luther H. Reichelder-
fer, who said a definite procedure for
payment of relief funds to families on
the relief lists would be worked out by
the disbursing officer. Meade will be
bonded to the extent of $4,000. and will
be permitted to have under his control
at any cne time as much as $4,000.
Heretofore, relief officials in charge
of the distribution of relief funds have
not been bonded.
Dr. Reichelderfer said the change was
planned 10 days ago and had no con-
nection with the minor mlX-up in the
preparation of the pay roll Of employees
of the relief organization, some 80 of
whom could not be paid off last Sat-
urday as a result of mistakes in time
schedules. He pointed out the new
disbursing officer would be in charge of
payments to families on the relief rolls
rather than merely the employees of the
bureau.
A few days after October l the Com
missioners will forward to the Federal
Relief Administration a request for an
allotment equal to one-third of the
amount of public funds expended for
relief here during July. August and
September This will be in keeping
with an announcement made recently
by Federal officials that the District
would receive as much as S433 1888 dur
ing the remainder of the year if needed.
The District expended for relief in
July S218913 and in August, S278867,
making a total of nearly half million
dollars in the two months. The figure
for September is expected to be as
large as that for August.

they had chest of gold in London, but
needed funds to have it transported to
New York. Murray said Mrs. Kay put
up $4,000 to cover the expenses of
shipping treasure chest which existed
only in Mrs. Purdy's imagination, and
that the Purdys pocketed the $4,000.
DR.. Purdy was arrested in Detroit
several months ago and Is being held

to stand the Journey.
Unless she makes bond, Mrs. Purdy
will be detained at Gallinger Hospital
until the case can be called in District
Supreme Court. Murray said he die
not know when the Purdys would be
brought to trial. but indicated it would
be started as soon as possible in view
of Mrs. Purdy's condition.
The train was met this morning by
Deputy United States Marshals John
c. Clarkson and Gus Cerimele. They
had arranged for an ambulance to meet
the train and accompanied Mrs. Purdy
to the hospital here.
Clarkson arrested DR.. Purdy in his
apartment at fashionable hotel here

|CKES ASKS PUBLIC
TO CURB GAS WARS
Appeals to Drivers Not to
Buy BeIoW-Cost Products,
Enforce Oil Code.
BY the Associated Press.


Secretary Ickes yesterday appealed
directly to every automobile owner in
the country to help him enforce the
oil code BY refusing to buy oils and
gasoline sold at below cost He asked
them to do this lest they aid persons
dealing in product illegally produced
and sold.
The Secretary said his department
was determined to prevent gasoline
price wars.
In his appeal, made in a formal
statement, the Secretary said:
The industry and public are called
upon to comply with the code and to
aid in the effort to balance produc-
ton with consumer demand of pc
troleum and gasoline, to watch for vio-
lations to discourage and abolish de-
structiye price wars, engaged in either
by large or small companies, to guard
against trafflcking with tax evaders and
dealers in petroleum or its products
produced in excess of ALLEGATIONS made
by State regulatory bodies and the Fed
eral Government"
Prosecution Looms.
The Secretary already had announced
he was preparing to prosecute oil code
violators.
The greatest number of people af-
fected by the petroleum industry are
reached through the marketing of pc
troleum and its products" Ickes said.
The code provides marketing rules for
the purpose of eliminating unfair and
unhealthy practices which have pre-
vailed in the industry
One OF these practices is the re-
current price wars during which gaso-
line is sold below COST These prac-
tlceS must stop in the interest of all.
Price wars cannot be justified for the
purpose Of driving out competition. nor
can they be justified when waged by
tax evaders and purchasers of bootleg
products to destroy stable market.
The public will not support one
who is able to destroy a fair market
price by reason of his own failure to
pay Government and State taxes or to
obtain at cut-rate price petroleum or
its products produced in violation of
State law or Federal ALLEGATION of
production.
Below-Cost Sales Banned.
The code expressly prohibits, sub
Ject to penalty, sale of petroleum or its
products below cost of manufacture or
importation, plus reasonable cost of
uldIhctulS anu payment OF taxes ana
inspections fees to the Federal or
state Government or any subdivision
thereof.
THE Department of the Interior
stands ready in cooperation with the
industry to enforce these provisions
and calls upon the purchasing public to
aid. The observance of these pro-
visions is extremely important in order
that the industry may comply with the
labor provisions of the code and to
obtain a desired status of stability.
"The retail dealer is entitled to a
reasonable profit, and cannot be sacri-
feed for the benefit of any other
itself may do much to bring about
compliance with these provisions and
the Federal Government stands ready
to support these and all other pro-
visions of the code"

TREASURY DEFICIT
CUT TO$1@,oDO,Ol)
Income Tax and MisceIIane.
Gus Revenue Are Gradually
Reducing Debt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Income tax collections daily are whit
tling a sizable chunk off the Federal
deficit, while increases in miscellane-
Gus revenue are bringing smiles to the
faces Of the Nations fiscal officers.
The six Gays beginning September IS
when the regular quarterly income tax
installments fell due, saw the deficit
reduced by s54,000,0O0, from s246 ,o00,-
| 600 to sl92,000,000. Besides, there was
an actual surplus of S36 1000 900 for the
month Of September thus far
with the fiscal year running from,
July to June 80. the September COL
lections were the first income tax paw
mentS to fall within the period. Up to
now the Government subsisted on mis-
cellaneous tax receipts, beer taxes
cigarette taxes and nuisance taxes, ex-
cept for the few millions in back in
come taxes which are reported each
day.
To compare with the present Treas
ury situation. a year ago there was a
deficit of more than s650,0o0,0o0.
Receipts Increase.
Treasury figures published today
showed miscellaneous tax receipts of
sl49. .707.708 for August. as compared
with S130.732.608 for july and S79 .940,-
80 for August, 1882.
Beer taxes rose from s142l9015 to
SIS ,049. 564. Gasoline taxes jumped
from S15,799.053 to s22, 2,42o,634 Ciga-
rette taxes were up from S28,579 $40 to
s33 .569, ,728
Secretary Woodin is highly optimistic
regarding the outlook for the remainder
Of the fiscal year. He would not be
surprised. he has said if the result is
the first surplus since $50. All the
categories of revenue are trerding up
ward he said. and he expects a big
improvement in income tax collections
when March and June payments fall
due
If the enormous emergency eXpendi-
lures in connection with the recovery
program are deducted from the figures
for the fiscal year thus far, the result
shows receipts well above the Treas
ury's ordinary outlays. The statement
for September 20 listed total receipts
since the fiscal year began as $685.
