the house who believes this bill will
ever become a law. and yet you sit
here and vote for 1t for your own po-
litical welfare"
The other explanation was that
many of the Democrats are resentful
Of the rubber stamp label that has
been put IN congress and welcomed
an opportunity to break away from
dictation and, as one OF them said,
vote as their consciences directed.
In A new revolt against administra-
! ton policy the house insisted on
adding more than s200.000.00O In vet
Grams benefits and government pay TO
the federal OUTLAWS In the next fiscal
year. However. this wa q compromise,
for the amendment adopted by the
house involves q total annual expendi-
ture Of approximately s90,00o,0O0 for
veterans as compared with the S118.-
100000 called for under the veterans
amendment adopted By the senate.
Briefly summarized, the house meas
ure as sent to conference provides:
/. That all Spanish-American war
veterans be restored to the pension
rolls on a basis Of rs per cent OF what
they received prior to enactment OF
the economy bill last session.
q. That all World wal veterans with
service connected disabilities be re
stored to the rolls on a full basis.
3. That World war veterans with
presumptipe disabilities be returned
to the rolls on a rs per cent basis.
In addition, 1t eliminates pensions
for emergency officers, pensions for
the widows of the men lost In airship
disasters, and knocks out the so-called
Borah amendment limiting the resto-
ration OF the federal pay cut to per-
sons receiving less than $4,000 a year.
CAMUEL INSULT, whose deporta-
- tion was ordered BY the Greek gov
eminent, his ticket bought and his
train selected by the officials, vanished
from his residence In Athens between
midnight and morning, and for hours
the police OF the country were fran
tically searching for him. Then 1t was
announced that the fugitive had been
arrested aboard the Greek freighter
Meotis, which had been pursued by q
torpedo boat destroyer. insult was
bound for Kessy, Egypt, near Alex
andria, and presumably was heading
for either Persia or Afghanistan.
The Athens police learned from the
insult household nothing OF the way
In which insult escaped from the city.
They thought he was aided by Inter
national crooks"
The Greek government decided that
Mrs. insult was an undesirable resi-
dent and should be elected from the
country.
