Hines Ineligible for Pension;
May Soon Retire From Office
General Scrapped Status
by Resigning From
Army in 1920.

TINE man who has supervised the
expenditure Of $1,000, ,000, 600 for
pensions and operating costs OF
i the vast Veterans Administra-
ton during the last 10 years,
and who AZ embarkation ofhcer sent a
million or more soldiers to France dur
ing the World War. is not eligible for
a pension when he retires from the
Government after approximately IS
years Of service.
This was disclosed yesterday by
the Harding administration has been in
charge Of veterans affairs for the
United States Government. His early
retirement from office Is being forecast
in political circles here.
Hines, 1t was pointed out, scrapped
his pension status when he resigned
from the Regular Army with the rank
Of brigadier general to become vice
president of the Inflated Baltic Steam
ship Lines Immediately following ti.e
close Of the World War.
When the affairs of his company ran
into heavy financial seas he was AL
pointed veterans administrator by
President Harding, and efforts by Sen
ator Reed, Republican. Of Pennsylvania.
and former Senator Smoot Of Utah to
have his pension status restored met
with defeat in Congress, his friends
said.
Two Pension Bills Failed.
Two bills were introduced in Congress
in 1928 seeking a pension for the ad-
ministrator. One sought that Hines be
retired with the rank of major general
in recognition of his long service and
the other asked for q pension Of 5000
annually in view of his long service.
They both failed passage
The efforts Of his congressional
friends were renewed in 1890, when q
rider was attached to the veterans
disability allowance bill seeking
straight 5000 annual allowance for
Hines. The amendment, too, met with
defeat.
A native of Utah, Hines hurdled the
gap between a private in the ranks Of
the National Guard to the stars OF a
brigadier general in 20 years. In 1898
he enlisted in Battery B. lst Utah Vol
unteer Artillery. participating in "a en-
gagements in the Philippines. He was
recommended for Congressional
Medal Of Honor but the award was never
voted to him by Congress. The mate

NAVY DROPS so NURSES
DUE TO HOSPITAL CUTS
Corps to Stay Within Regular Ap-
preparations During Coming
Fiscal Year.

Some so nurses of the Navy Nurse
Corps are now being separated from the
service, through disability and other
means. as part of the Navy's economy
program.
These nurses received their compen-
sation from the Veterans Administra-
ton, but the number of patients in
naval hospitals now has been sharply
curtailed, funds from that source have
likewise dropped, because of the re-
strictive policy of the administration
relating to disqualification of World
War veterans. Officials of the Bureau
of Medicine and Surgery, Navy Depart
ment, are permitting the Navy Nurse
Corps to be reduced so that this agency
will keep within the regular naval ap-
preparation during the coming fiscal
year.
A couple of hundred doctors in the
Navy Medical Corps and some 1900
haspital corpsmen have been dropped
The physicians have been transferred
to the Civilian Conservation Corps,
while the excess hospital corpsmen are
being allowed to transfer to the sea-
man branch of the Navy or to other
duties.

lieutenant in 1904.
A captain at the outbreak Of the
World War, Hines was in Europe and
was detailed to aid in evacuating
Americans. So thoroughly did he per-
form this task that he was assigned to
the War Department here rs assistant
to the chief of the general staff A
few months later he was made chief
of the vital embarkation service, con-
trolling the movement Of all troops to
Europe.
Saved U. S. Huge Sums.
In this role Hines developed the or
ganization that moved the A. E. F.. to
France and was credited with saving
hundreds Of millions to the Govern
ment in adjusting rates with foreign
governments and by speeding up the
homeward trek from the battlefields.
It was reckoned that the return of
5000 men earlier than had been
scheduled cut approximately S66, 600, 900
on the United States war bill. His re-
adjustment Of transportation rates
with Great Britain saved $67 ,753, ,698
more.
In 1918 Hines was elevated to the
rank of brigadier general in the Ma
tional Army, and this commission was
into Regular Army ranks in
1880. However, in August Of that year
he resigned his commission and went
on the Army's reserve list to 90 with
the privately owned Baltic Line

the Board Of State Aid and Charities,
pointed out tina: unemployment relief
needs in the State are so great a spe-
cial session may be necessary to deal
with that problem.
Under the Maryland law a special
session cannot last more than 80 DAYS,
but any type Of legislation may be
considered
This would open the door to revision
OF many laws passed at the last session
and already found to need changing.
The Prince Georges County beer law
would fall in this category. It undoubt-
edlv would be revised to eliminate q
provision prohibiting the sale of beer
on Sunday. made more definite in re-
gard to requiring permits for brewers
and distributors. and specifically repeal
all existing dry spot" laws.
Would Wait Until 1885.
II q special session is not called these
changes will have to wait until the
