It was a grand speech, the

AS Mrs. Clarke, who took her

She bowed and started speak
ing in a low tone of voice. Rep

gave up in despair.
Members Of the press gallery
attempted to hear in vain. Mrs.

MEANS SAYS
VETS DRIVEN
TO SUICIDE
Ex-senator Asks Senators to
Aid Spanish War Soldiers
Hit by Economy Act
By International News Service.


The Federal Economy Act Is
driving Spanish-Ameriean War
veterans to suicide, former Senator
Rice W. Means Of Colorado charged
today in pleading with the Senate
Appropriation Committee to relax
the stringent economies on vete-
rams benefits.
Means, appearing as counsel for
the United Spanish War Veterans,
declared the men who fought in
1898 were unable to prove the
service connected origin Of their
disabilities and consequently
were being deprived Of rightful
benefits. He said the lack Of proof
was caused by the long lapse Of
time since the Spanish War and
by the fact that the Government
then did not maintain adequate
records. He said:
''YOu will never know how
many SpaniSh-Americ War
veterans have committed suicide
because Of this economy pro-
gram. 1 was told recently by
q legislator that 81 Spanish war
veterans had committed suicide
in Massachusetts alone"
Average Age go
Means declared the average age
Of Spanish war veterans was so.
He added:
'Tt has been IS years since
they bore arms. They are up
i'm years. 1t is so difficult for
them-and in many cases, SO
impOSsible-tO secure proof Of
the service origin Of their dis
abilities, that they find them
selves without hope or means
of support and prefer death to
struggling along in their old
age"
Means said heads Of the Vet
erans Bureau believed it wrong
to require proof from these
veterans. He also said President
Roosevelt had favored leniency to
the veterans but had been talked
out Of it by Budget Director Doug
Las, who regarded it as a bad
example to World War veterans"
Edward A. Hayes, commander
of the American Legion, urged
elimination of the appeal boards,
set up under the Economy act.
He said the veterans were not
getting fair treatment from the
appeal boards and preferred to
have their cases handled by the
old Veterans Administration.

SCHEME
lnpounded Savings Now on
Hand Held adequate for
Part Return
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH


Federal employees were mysti-
fled today by reports that Q SO
million dollar deficiency bill
would be introduced in Congress
to make possible a 5 per cent
restoration Of salaries on Feb
Tuary /.
They pointed out that no such
appropriation is necessary, be-
cause governmental agencies are
now impounding savings made
under the pay cut, and that
merely releasing the impound-
ment would take care OF the
restoration, without necessity for
any legislation Of q financial
character.
Significance Seen
There was q disposition in some
quarters to view the reports as
inspired by pay cut advocates,
and designed to make it appear
that the Government would be
put to large extra expense in
behalf of the Government en-
ployes.
It is true that considerable
sums would be added to the
bayroN here, and that a consid-
cradle amount of money would
be put into circulation both in
Washington and in the nation at
large, but, Federal workers say,
the Government would not have
to spend one cent that had not
been already appropriated, in
order to make a 5 per cent
restoration for the remainder OF
the fiscal year.
More Than Needed
Furthermore, it was pointed
out authoritatively today that in
any event the amount required
for a 5 per cent restoration for
five months would be only about
half Of the amount stated.
To restore salaries in full, 1t
was said, would cost 180 million
dollars for one year. To restore
B per cent for one year would
cost SO million dollars and for
five months about $26,250,O0O.
A new angle on the pay cut
situation was brought out today
in the February issue Of the
Union Postal Clerk, which point
ed out a direct conflict of state
ment between two government
agencies as to increases in the
cost of living.
