Rare Caterpillar
Found Here GiUeS
Aid to Naturalist
AppIe-Greer, Worn, First
Seen in 1870, Redis-
coUered by Clark.

Completely lost for more than $50
years, an unusual and very colorful
caterpillar has just been rediscovered
in Washington by Austin H. Clark,
National Museum curator.
This apple green worm" was dis
covered in 1850 by John Abbott, a
Georgia school teacher and amateur
naturalist, who kept it alive and
watched its metamorphosis into rare
butterfly, the goldbanded skipper.
Since then many Of the butterflies
themselves have come into collections
including Mr.. Clark's own extensive
collection. But nobody has ever been
able to find caterpillar and all
knowledge of the insects life history
has been based on the old discovery
of the Georgia school teacher. Mean
while many naturalists have made in
tensive searches.
Study of the habits of the butterfly
gave Mr.. Clark a clue as to where to
look for its eggs. During the past
season he has found 160 Of them,
many Of which have Matched and he
is now able to follow through the life
cycle of the creature. The gold
banded skipper seldom is seen during
its flying season, late May and June,
when it remains in damp woods and
feeds voraciously on the leaves of the
hog peanut vine.
The caterpillar has an apple-green
body, a rose-pink neck and claret-
brown head, but can be found only in
the low vegetation of dank woods.

ROOSEVELT PLANS
TALK TO VETERANS
Speech Will Come Only z
Few Days Before Novem-
Der Election.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt plans 10 tell the
Nations war veterans in a speech in
October just what he proposes to do
for them. - ee
The occasion win be the dedication
of a new $2.o0o.o0o veterans hos
pital for mental cases at Roanoke, Va.
Reliable sources indicated no
drastic change in policy would be an
nounced, but that the President would
sum UP the present Government pro-
gram for the ex-service men and out
line future plans to assure the
veterans the administration Is their
friend.
1t was denied in quarters close TO
the White House that the speech
would have political import-but it
will come only few days before the
November 6 congressional elections.
To Be in Hyde Park.
So the President may be in Hyde
Park during September, tentative
plans to lay the corner stone of the
institution the middle of next month
have been changed to a dedicatory
program late in October. The date
as yet has not been definitely fixed.
Mr.. Roosevelt yesterday discussed
his Virginia visit and the veterans
situation with Representative Wood
rum, Democrat, Of Virginia, leader Of
odr1iVnfefrok k{Ax1 fv, I,A
cessfu. attempt to prevent Congress
from overriding the Presidents veto
Of veterans compensation and salary
increases, and Frank T. Hines, the
veterans administrator.
Special significance was attached to
the proposed Roanoke speech because
1t was on the veterans issue that the
President met his most severe rebuff
from Congress. The vote to set aside
the veto carried, despite relaxation
OF many Of the regulations by which
the administration cut $500, 900, 900
annually from veterans costs in 1898.
- Woodrum Asks Support.
On that occasion Woodrum, the
chairman of the Appropriations Sub
committee which handles all funds
for veterans, made a dramatic appeal
for administration support while many
other Democratic leaders joined the
opposition.
Against the advice of some political
advisers, Mr.. Roosevelt visited the
American Legion convention in Chi
cago last year and talked frankly on
the veterans situation.
He was well received and the effect
was apparently seen in resolutions
adopted by the convention, but the
pressure for modification of the
economy act grew.
The institution to be dedicated Is
the only veterans hospital on which
construction was started after the
economy bill passed. Representative
Woodrum Is credited with obtaining
the hospital for his State.
Hines, who has just completed
survey of the hospitals, said today
they were in excellent shape.
Both he and Woodrum said an early
start would be made upon the ap-
preparation bills to provide funds for
veterans, but added there was no in
tention of seeking increased appropri-
ations or any material change in
legislation.

DONOVAN DECISION
is LIKELY MONDAY
Chairman Garrison and Asso-
ciates Reported Ready to
Announce Ruling.

A decision in the John Donovan
case probably will be made public
Monday morning, it was learned today
at the National Labor Relations
Boards headquarters.
Chairman Lloyd K. Garrison and
his associates, serving as arbitrators
between Donovan and Gen. Hugh S.
johnson, who dismissed him from his
N. R. A. job, were reported to be
prepared to announce their ruling at
the beginning Of the week. Both
Donovan and the administrator have
agreed to abide by the boards decision.
At meeting held last night at the
Hamilton Hotel, the Joint Committee
for Unity Of Government EMPLOYEES
adopted q resolution demanding an
immediate ruling in the case. The
committee also charged that Gen.
Johnson's written statement to the
board removes all doubt" as to the
reason for Donovan's discharge. The
committee and Donovan contend he
was dismissed for union activities.
Similar action also was taken by the
Donovan Reinstatement Committee,
composed of representatives of so
organized labor units.

0vertures by Large Firms
for Price Agreement
Is Awaited.
DEALERS LOSE AT RATE
OF $3.50, 900 MONTHLY
Small Companies Began War,
Protesting Preferential Dis
counts to Some.

washington's gasoline price war
today appeared likely to become more
advantageous for the consumer, 1t
having been learned that independent
dealers plan to confer either late
today or tonight to consider a further
reduction in the retail price Of stand
ard gasoline.
Joseph Amato, independent spokes-
man, said such a meeting was PLAN
ned. but would not forecast the out
come. He also said he eventually ex-
poets the chain dealers to make over
lures for a price agreement within Q
week.
The current price war was begun
by the smaller companies as q pro-
test against what they described as
preferential discounts allowed some
retailers by the large companies.
Cost Is $45O,oOO Monthly.
The fight Is costing Washington dis
tributorS at the rate Of $450,000 or
more per month, one dealer said to-
day. He based the estimate on gall
lonage records In the tax ONCE Of the
District and an average reduction Of
4 cents per gallon in all grades OF
gasoline. He also said there had been
no material increase In consumption
as a result Of the lower prices.
Straight gasoline prices average IL
cents, although a few dealers have
cut to 10 and IL cents, including Dis
trict and Federal taxes.
The National Petroleum Board
meanwhile is watching the situation.
One board official said he expected
the Government may have to inter-
vene before price agreement can be
reached.
Four months ago when the chain
distributors opened price war against
the independents the board brought
about q conference that temporarily
restored peace among the retailers.
Even then, however, one group con-
tinued to insist upon q preferential
price for their "third-grade" gasoline,
and for q time undersold the larger

ignored the lower price and after
some weeks the independents lifted
their price to that charged by their
competitors.
| Market Relief Planned.
It was reported last night that the
major oil companies tentatively have
agreed upon plan to relieve the
petroleum market Of distress" gaso-
line by extensive purchases covering
the whole United States east Of the

The plan, 1t was said, had been
brought before oil executives In a
special meeting at headquarters Of
the American Petroleum Institute in
New York, and then referred to
Washington for ofncial approval.
Some time ago, with the approval
of Secretary Ickes, oil administrator
the major oil companies adopted a
plan for taking distress gasoline from
Texas fields of the market The plan
ran for 30 days to the end Of July,
but purchases have continued.
Companies subscribing to the orig
inal purchasing plan were Atlantic Re-
