Hence our fraterna orders in position to do the

There no denying the fact that present system

handle the problem of the sick claim more successfully

BATTLE RAGING
 ON VETERANS
 COMPENSATION
House Democrats Broke Away From Control of
 Leaders Yesterday
By EDWARD w. LEWIS United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, March 9-(UP)- House democrats broke with the Roosevelt administration today on the veterans compensation issue. The leadership was glum over the chances of salvaging $35O,000,O0O in economy act savings.
 The veterans bloc emerged Vic- toriOusly from an angry party cau- GUS despite warnings that President Roosevelt would veto the independ- ent offices bill unless senate amend mentS increasing veterans compen- sation and government pay were changed.
 The friends of the veterans upset administration hopes that the house had cooled down" on the ticklish issue. They succeeded in preventing majority leaders from binding the party to unit action and managed to force the fight back to the floor of the house where the veterans bloc is con- vinced it will win an ultimate vic- tory.
 Administration leaders had pi- geon-holed the bill for week, hoping to win fresh support for the president in his efforts to maintain the governmental savings. But the caucus showed that the democratic congressman, all facing reelection this year, were as vigorous as ever in their desire to better the lot of veterans and government employees.
 A resolution to send the bill to conference was only adopted after a veterans bloc" amendment was tackled on instructing the conferees to allow increased pensions for Spanish American war veterans and Word war veterans with pre- sumptive disability cases. The amendment was adopted 118 to 89. The amended resolution was adopt ed 136 to Il.
 Even as passed the resolution was small consolation for the lead CTS. Lack of two-thirds vote kept the decision from being bind ing on party members and was construed as meaning that the whole veterans '-paycut issue will be forced to a decision on the house floor, a fight the veterans bloc is eager for.
 The bill, as amended by the sen- ate, now reposes ill the house ap- propriations committee due to par liamentary maneuver designed by the leadership to give time to seek compromise which would assure presidential approval of the bill. However, it will probably be called up on the floor next week, pro- cedure which will permit the house to vote outright on whether to ac- cept the senate changes, in part or in toto. If all senate changes are approved no conference will be ne- ceSSary.

STELLA WILL BE
 GOOD IN FUTURE
Eleven Year Old Girl Had Become Tired of New
 York Lunches

New York, Mar. 9-iUP)-Stel- Ia Abramovitz submerged he, yearning for real Boston baked beans" today in her mothers as- surance she could spend part of her summer vacation with Aunt Caro- line in Boston provided she aban- doned all ideas of running away.
 Stella made her eleventh birth day yesterday the occasion for some serious reflection. She decid- ed she was tired of school; bored with the rows of identical flats and with clothes lines on the roof tops And most of all, she was tired of salami sandwiches she got for lunch. What she needed was a change, Stella concluded. So she wrote a note of mama, left it on the mantlepiece and set out for Boston and Aunt Caroline's em- inently delicious baked beans.
 At the bus terminal in Manhat- tan, she proffered her birthday dol lar for ticket to Boston but "the man" refused to accept it. He even turned down the apple she had brought for lunch. The next thing took her to a police station.
 She tried to reason with Cap tain Louis Rosenfeld, but he was adamant. He too, shut his eyes at her -.- apple bribe. Finally she wheedled the captain into promis- ing that he would obtain Mrs. .Ab- ramovitz's promise not to spank her.

Delay In Passenger,
 Freight Code Looms
StabiIizaOn of Rates as Proposed in Code Meets Op-
 position To-day From Foreign Shipping Lines

It is particularly important, he said, to protect inland water car- riers who must meet rail competi- ton. It's intent to eliminate rate cutting. has the cooperation of the shipping board bureau and the railroad administration, he said, both of whom are working to im- prove competitive and financial conditions.
 The code which is to be submit ted next week for final comment divides the shipping industry into nine groups which engage in for eign and domestic commerce, and six groups operating on inland waterways. Each division would adopt supplements prescribing minimum rates, fares and charges. Increases in rates could be effected in 30 days notice, upon approval of the administrator.
 Henderson claims the rates set up would apply to all shipping as contrasted with previously estab- lished conference rates applying only to operator-members of the conferences. The advantage of a code authority with government member establishing rates is point ed out by Weaver, who claims the code is sufficiently flexible to per- init changes overnight. Rates even less than cost could be estab- lished if necessary to meet a par ticularly competitive situation, he said.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-03-09

Washington, March 9-UP)-
 Stabilization of freight and passen- ger rates as proposed in the code of fair competition for the shipping industry has met with opposition from foreign shipping lines and from within NRA itself which may
 delay indefinitely adoption of the code.
 Although all large foreign lines and American ship operators and labor have given full endorsement to the code, according to Deputy
 Administrator Joseph B. Weaver in charge, shipping interests of
 Denmark and Norway have been
 flooding American shippers with
 statements attacking the stabiliza- tion clause. They have also taken their fight to the state department which has held conferences with the code committee and MIRA off, cials to determine whether the pro- international treaties.
 Leon Henderson, new chief of NRA's planning and research divi- sion has attacked the proposal, calling it "price fixing under the name of stabilization." He reiter- ated today his opposition and that of NRA policy against any sort of price-fxing, and said the shipping industry must prove the necessity for this provision before he would recommend it to Gen Hugh $. Johnson on the code.
 After a public hearing Nov g, the original code was drastically revised. The new draft set up labor boards both for the master code and the division codes which sup plement it.
 Weaver conducted hearing Jan 31, on the revised proposal, and al- though considerable opposition continued to be expressed by labor, general agreement has been reach ed in later conferences.
 Weaver pointed out" today ship owners and labor were working to- gether for the first time in Ameri- can navigation history on proposals affecting the shipping industry. He considers rate stabilization vital if shipping operators are to bring up gross returns to point sufficient to increase employment, pay fair wage rates, and set up depreciation reserves.

BROADCAST OF LEGAL NEWS GOES
 TO l25 STATIONS
Press=RadiO Bureau in New York is Taking
 Care of Sending

New York, March 9-(uP)-The authorized news broadcast of the Press Ra dio Bureau in New York is now going out to more than 125 radio stations, F. H. Harris, chair man of the publishers national ra- dio committee, announced to-day.
 Harris said the program of the publishers radio committee is working out throughout the coun- try in highly satisfactory man. ner.
 Generally throughout the coun- try the situation is satisfactory and stations are complying" said Harris. "A few violations of the program are reported from Cali fornia and the Boston area but only small number of stations arc involved. The service of the preas-radio bureau which is com piled from the reports of the United Press, Associated Press and International News Service is now going out daily from the press radio bureau of the publishers na-. tional radio committee to more than 125 stations.
 'HThere seems to be some slight nisapprehension created by radio
  utilize the authorized broadcast thet the program of the publishers national radio committee in some manner deprives the radio audi ence of it's right to hear the news. On the contrary, one of the impell- ing motives of the newspaper pub- fishers in granting the request of the broadcasterS to furnish this news was to prevent the circula- tion of inaccurate statements over the radio by furnishing the broad casters with reliable news without cost. In addition to the regular bulletins consisting of enoughncWs for a five minute broadcast twice daily which are distributed to all radio stations which so desire, news bulletins of extra importance are being broadcast throughout the twenty-four hours whenever the importance of the news justi- fies the release of these extra bull 1etins. For example the result of the Carnera-Loughran fight, the Dillinger escape, the conviction of Dr Wynekoop, and the airplane accident in Illinois in which four persons were killed, were so broad cast.
 "The new arrangement guaran- tees the authenticity of news which is broadcast and gives all radio stations access to reliable and accurate news"

LABOR FORCES IN
 LONDON SWEPT THE ELECTIONS
They Will Control. City
 COuncil-69 LabOrites to $ Conservatives

London, March 9.-(UP)-La- Dor candidates, running on a plat form dovetailing with the social istic one with which they will en- ter the next general election, have been swept into control of the London county council, returns in the municipal election showed to- day. .&
 Labor leaders jubilantly regard ed the returns as an indication that the party will gain tremend- ously in the next parliamentary election, when it plans to seek a majority in the house of commons on a platform involving national ization of essential industries.
 Final returns to-day in the cleo tion for councilmen who will ad- minister city affairs for three years showed the following representa- tion:
 Labor 69, conservatives (muni- cipal reform) 55, outstanding 8. For the first time labor men were in control. Conservatives had had a majority for 27 years. Previous ly there was a liberal majority.
 Though municipal elections do not necessarily show definitely the trend in national politics, and in this one there was reason for the national coalition government to be gravely anxious.
 Ramsay Macdonald, prime min ister, heads the government with but 12 fellow members of his na- tional labor party in the house of commons. The conservatives who support him, have 457 members. The labor party proper, which has repudiated MacDonald, it's former leader, and adopted a socialistic platform, has 55 members. The liberal party is also split, with 34 each in the national liberal and liberal factions.

WHOLESALE SALES
 UP 100 PER CENT

New York, March 9-Dry goods wholesalers have increased their sales to retailers from 75 to 100 per cent over those of last year, according to all local and national reporting agencies. The season to March has been the most active since the start of the depression and wholesalers say they can find no immediate signs of let-up. While all sections of the country have shown marked improvement, the gains in the south are particu- larly astonishing. Northern mar kets, particularly in industrial sec tions, made the next best showing for the first months of the year.

 And the Queen of Saba" the story says, having heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, came to try him with hard questions.
 And entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels that carried spices, and an immense quantity of gold and pre- cious stones, she came to King Sol omon and spoke to him all that she had in her heart"
 She was so impressed, the &C., count continues, that she mo long, CT had any spirit in her"
 And she gave the king a hun dred and twenty talents of gold and of spices very great store and precious stones; there was brought no more such abundance of spices as these which the Queen of Saba gave to Solomon ..
 "And King Solomon gave the Queen of Saba all that she desired and asked of him and she re- turned and went to her own coun' try with her servants. And the weight of the gold that wa! brought to Solomon every year was 666 talents of gold"
