some to my teacher, Mrs. Red

We also found some black wal

distance and went fishing, with
Daddy and Frank.
I caught two fish and an eel.
Frank caught two fish and
then we found some oysters

them and mother made some

and enjoyed. BY this time it

Committee and May Quit
Craftsmanship. <
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.

Congressional Committee is to be called
probably this week for reorganization
purposes.
Representative Byrns of Tennessee,
Democratic floor leader and chairman
of the Congressional Committee, said
yesterday he would call the meeting to
prepare for its activities during the
coming campaign in the Fall.
Byrns, who has conducted the COM
mittee during the 1880 and 1882 cam
paigns, indicated he desired to relin-
quish the post because Of pressing
duties as leader of his party in the
House. 1t was during the campaign
cessful in capturing the House under
a Republican administration. In the
1882 campaign, the Democrats cap
tured more than 100 Republican seats.
Last Spring Byrns indicated to his
colleagues he desired to give up the
Craftsmanship of the Congressional
Committee, but at the insistence of
members ne continued in the position.
At the coming meeting, it was indi-
Gated yesterday that unless Democrats
insist that Byrns retain the post he
will resign.
In that event, the Craftsmanship will
be open. 1t is understood there are
several candidates for the post, includ-
ing Representative Grove of Indiana,
Arnold of Illinois and McClintic of
Oklahoma Indications were that Ar
mold, chairman of the Democratic eau
Gus for a number Of years, has sub
stantial support. He is one Of the few
Democratic veterans from the Northern
States.

VET BLOC
Militant Senate Group Will
Push Fight for 4-Point
Relief Program
BY International News Service

A charge that Uncle Sam is
the chief violator Of the NRA
was raised today as a militant
bipartisan group battled for
Senate adoption of the Ameri-
can Legioa's sfoar4peint pro,
grom for liheralizing benefits
to war veterans.
Leaders of the drive-Senators
Steiwer (RO of Oregon and Nc
Carran CD of Nevada-met with
a Senate appropriations sub
committee to draft appropriate
amendments for inserting the
program in the independent Of.
fices appropriation bill.
The four-point program was:
/. disqualification of all vet
erans, unable to care for them
selves and in need Of medical
attention.
2. Restoration Of the former
compensation rates, topped by
$100 a month for total disabil-
ity, for all veterans, suffer
ing from Service-connected dis
abilities.
3. Restoration of more liberal
rulings on Service-connected dis
ability, in order to care for
border-line- cases or cases in
which the veteran is unable to
prove such connection due to
loss of records.
4. PenSioning of widows and
orphans of war veterans. This
would include widows and
orphans of Spanish War vet
Grams as well as World War
veterans. The rates would be
SIS a month for widows and
SO for each child.
SteiWar said:
"The Government itself is the
chief offender against the NRA.
It reduces salaries and length
ems hours of labor, while COM
pelling private business to in.
crease salaries and shorten
hours of labor. I can see no
justice or equity in such a
course"
