FIGHT To SLASH
FUNDFOR VETS
HOPELESS"
No Signs of Organized Battle
BY Opponents; Woodrum Not
To Offer Amendment

Collapse of the movement to
drastically slash World War Vet
erans' benefits, for the present
session at least, appeared i'm.
minent in the House today.
With the billion dollar inde-
pendent offices supply bill offer
ing the only real opportunity to
reduce veterans outlays, there
were no signs Of an organized
battle.
WOOdrum Asked Cut
Chairman Woodrum CD of
Virginia of the subcommittee
framing the huge bill advocated
a 10 per cent cut in World Var
veterans compensation checks to
save $58,000,000, but said he
would not offer an amendment
on the floor.
Representative Brand (R) of
Ohio, who last year proposed a
IS per cent cut in all pension
checks because of the reduction in
the cost Of living, had under con-
sideration an amendment to test
the House. He said:
'fIt looks hopeless. think
salaries and pensions both
should be reduced in line with
the reduction in the cost of liv-
ing and the changed condition
of the country, but I'm afraid
that the House would not sup
port it,"
The $945, ,988,634 for the Vet
eranS' Administration carried in
the bill is an increase of $18,039,,
634 over the present year, due to
the general expansion of hospital
activities and additional veterans
entitled to compensation.
Hines Urged Saving
Gen. Frank T. Hines, head of
the Veterans Bureau, recon-,
mended cuts in veterans expenses
totaling $86,O00,O 900. This, how.
ever, could be accomplished only
by change in the veterans
laws, now being considered by the
joint veterans committee.
A real fight was brewing in
the House over the action of the
appropriations com mi tee in
SlaShing funds of the Federal
Trade Commission from $1,109,.
500 to $4,000.
Representative LaGuardia CRO
of New York, as chairman of the
Progressive bloc" announced a
meeting would be called to plan
fight for restoration of the
fund. He said:
Unless the commission is
given more money it cannot
complete the power trust" in
veStigatiOn and cannot under
take many other necessary in
quirieS."
The commission has proposed
to begin inquiry into the finan-
cial practices of corporations, ef-
fects of antitrust laws on the

tries, and wholesale and retail

GN.S0 0.-Arrival here tonight of
Senator Cordell Hull CD of Ten
neSsee for a conference with
Presidentelect Roosevelt had the
Warm Springs Cabinet-makers'
in confusion today.
Another arrival today was to
be Prof. Raymond Moley, Roose
velt's economic advisor.
Expert On Tariffs
Inasmuch as Hull is one of the
leading Democratic tariff experts
and Moley has been in Washing
ton comforting with Secretary OF
State StimSon about arrange
ments for the international debt
and world economic discussions
after March 4, the surface Set-up
would indicate that Mr.. Roosevelt
wants to discuss the delicate for
eign situation with which he is
soon to have to deal.
A New York story, however, has
stated Senator Hull is to be Sec.
retary of State in the new Cabi
net. Hull, before leaving Wash.
ington, denied this.
Meanwhile, Washington dis
patches were revealing the "in
side" story of how the news
leaked" that Owen D. Young,
New York financier, had written
the President-elect asking his
name be withdrawn from consid,
Grafton for the State Department
portfolio.
Still In the Running
The Washington stories, after
stating news of the Young letter
had come from a man in public
life, indicated, nevertheless, that
Young still was available for ap
pointment.
Backing up this latter conten.
ton, one of Mr.. RooSevelt'S IS
trusted lieutenants here ex.
pressed the personal opinion
that the New York financier was
still very much in the running
The lid was on here so far as
discussion of political appoint,
mentS is concerned. The Presi-
dent-elect has told newspaper men
he has one friendly bet that he
won't announce a single one of
his Cabinet members before
starting Saturdays cruise on the
Astor yacht and another bet
that 80 per cent of the advance
newspaper selections will prove
wrong.
Calling on the President-elect

is to be in War Springs will be

preSsly. invited. Those seeking

The men are Archie Lyles, %,

18 other cases will be filed
against the men, who are &C
cused of having burglarized
numerous drug stores during the
past month, stealing narcotics
and medicinal liquor valued at
more than $4,000.
Lyles and Moy were also
charged with sale and possession
of narcotics and will be given a

Obviously the Government

"a very substantial recovery
in net earnings will be possible
with a recovery of q COmpara-
lively small part Of the traffic

He pointed to operating econo-
mics which have been forced by
adversity, including the reduc-

Optimism Not Lost
The commission has not lost
all optimism with respect to fu'
to future railroad earnings and
has not approved loans on the
theory that present depressed
earnings are a sound criterion OF
what may be expected IN the fu'
ture, it was declared. Mr.. East
man testified:
I'VE have assumed, in ap-
praising the adequacy Of Sc
curity, that Congress intended
the Government should take
somewhat more risk than
would be taken under present
conditions by private bankers.
Otherwise NO loans would be
made"

Federal employees organiza-

Considerable doubt has been
expressed over the outcome of
the pay cut fight. Senate pro-
greSSiVeS and many members OF
the conservative ranks Of Demo
cratic and Republican parties are
expected to oppose the additional
slash. Friends of Federal work
ers say that had the vote been
taken two weeks ago the pay cut
would have been beaten.
In addition to the pay cut, the
economy provisions recommended
by the Senate Economy Commit
tee provide broad reorganization
powers for the President. He
would be authorized to conSoi-
