Representative Pryor has intro
duced another bill in the Legisla-
ture for $4,000 for a new school

DOUBLE
BARREDBY M'CARL.
Payment of Both Pensions
and Death Annuities Is
Forbidden.

Retired Government workers may
not receive both their pension and
death benefits awarded under the en-
ployes' compensation act, Controller
General McCarl held yesterday in a
case-the first of its kind-brought
up by the Veterans Administration.
The question arose when a widow,
employed in the Boston Navy Yard,
became disabled and filed claim for
her retirement act annuity, while she
was receiving payments under the
compensation act by reason of the
death of her husband. who had been
ship filter in the Navy Yard.
The Veterans Administration con-
tended the law, which prohibits con-
current payments under both retire.
ment and compensation acts, did not
apply to her case, because the money
from the former was due for her
own service and from the latter be-
cause OF her husbands service. The
bar should only prevail, it was held,
when one employe was concerned.
There seems to be no sound rea-
son why an annuitant under the re-
tlrement act should be deprived of
death compensation as a qualified de-
pendent under the compensation act,
Just when she has reached the point
IN iiie when financial help and as
slstance are most necessary" it was
contended.
Disallowing the claim, McCarl said
there is no reasonable basis for max
Ing the distinction suggested between
disability and death compensation
payments"
BY his ruling the woman will be
required to choose one of the two
forms of benefit.

under Doumergue's dictatorial powers

eral strike to paralyze the country's

there were outbursts of unrest in the
main postal bureaus. Telegraph serv-
ice from the main Paris bureau was

gram without mentioning any strike
in support of the functionaries.
The resolution insisted that the at

war" Leaders decided, therefore, that
their efforts should be directed
against Fascism.

NEW YORK, March 8.-Conver-
sation among New York's seven
million or so citizens today was re-
stricted almost entirely to specu-
lation as to the nature of the secret
food which Leaping Lena Levy, sis
ter and manager of Kingf1sh Lee
whisky, compounded while doing
research work among the pots and
pans Of her Chicago kitchen.
According to Leaping Lena, the
new, strange food has been fed to
the Kingfish for the last three
weeks, and will send him in the
ring against Walter Neusel at the
Garden tomorrow night more
deadly than a Bengal tiger, more
ferociouS than a wounded leopard
cat"
My new dish" Lena explained
today, has made the King posi-
lively terrifying. He was terrific
before, but now he's a tiger Boy,
he's regular King Kong. No, no,
can't tell you the ingredients of
the food. It's a secret"
If Lena is not bluffing, and really
has concoted a "vittle' dynamic
enough to change the dull, slow,
clumsy and flat-footed Kingfsh in
to a thunderbolt of fury and
devastating monsoon, she might just
