ment TODAY censuring the Works

those who relied on the glowing prom

THE Works Progress Administra-

The wage scales built up by decades
of struggle and sacrifice by the organ

Amelia Returns
Medal Presented
By Italian, Consul
Noted Flyer Declines to
Accept Personal Gift
of Diplomat.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 14.-Amelia
Earhart Putnam disclosed today she
had returned the medal that was
pinned on her with considerable cere-
mony by DR.. Giuseppe Castruccio.
Italian consul general to Chicago.
The famous aviatrix advanced this
reason for her action:
She had regarded the award as an
official decoration of Mussolini's gov
ernment. The consul subsequently
informed her, instead, that it was a
gift of his personal devotion" So
she sent it back.
The medal was presented before
$500 clubwomen here last May 23
The general impression was that II
betokened Italy's recognition of Miss
Earhart's achievements. Her hus-
band, George Palmer Putnam, said
the leather case bore this inscription:
Conferred on Amelia Earhart by
the Italian government, May %, 1885.
The noted flyer related that on
August 2 she received a letter from
DR.. Castruccio setting forth his de-
sire Ito correct the erroneous impress
sion that the medal was an official
decoration of his government"
Miss Earhart returned the medal
! informing DR.. Castruccio she could
not accept it as the token Of the con-
sul's personal esteem. -
Putnam then wrote the consul ask
ing what the inscription meant If he
was not acting for his government
In reply, DR.. Castruccio advised he
had not read the lettering on the
! case.

j, s. ANNEXES ;
PACIFIC ISLANDS
Tiny, Barren Dots of Sand
and Coral CoIonized
for Air Bases.

Three tiny sand-strewn coral reefs
in the South Seas, far to the south
and southwest of Hawaii, have been
annexed by the United States and
have been colonized as potential air
bases for trans-Paciflc air commerce
between this corntry and Australia
and New Zealand, it became known
here today.
Colonization of the islands. hitherto
barren, was at the instigation of the
Bureau of Air Commerce of the De-
partment of Commerce. The new
territory will be within the admins
tration OF the Territory of Hawaii.
Necessity for further air base facil-
tiles became apparent when the Pam
American Anyways clipper made its
1.50O-mile flight from Wake Island to
Guam.
j. Walter Doyle, collector of GUS
toms in Honolulu, recently visited the
three islands. and upon his return to
his post, declined to allow his baggage
to be examined, contending that he
had not been outside the United
States. 1t was on the strength of this
contention that the islands were an
nexed. The islands are Jarvis, l 400
miles due south of Honolulu, and
Baker and Howland, 60 miles apart
and 1900 miles southwest of the
Hawaiian capital.
The reefs were "colonized" by four
young Americans of Hawaiian blood,
under the sponsorship of William T.
Miller of the Air Commerce Bureau

81 STATES NEED

Changes Must Be Made to
Comply With Federal
Security Law.
BY the Associated Press.

A study of old-age pension laws
was reported today tc have convinced
officials that more than IS States
must call special sessions OF their Leg
iSlatures in the next month or SO If
they are to share Immediately in old
age benefits of the social security law.
Two of the IL States that have no
old-age pension laWs-Virginia and
Mississippi-have regularly scheduled
sessions in January. officials con-
nected with the Social Security Board
said Kentucky, the only other State
that has a regular session opening in
January, will have 10 change her old
age law to conform to Federal require
ments if desiring the benefits.
Only one other States Legislature
meets in 1886 in regular session. 1t Is
Louisiana, which has no old-age pen
sion law and whose next regular ses-
sion is in May.
Notifications Needed.
While studies of the State laws were
said by officials to be incomplete. they
believed that virtually all the % States
that had pension legislation before the
Federal law was enacted will have to
modify their statutes in some respect.
officials said even Delaware, whose
pension law is one of the most liberal,
probably would have to make minor
alterations in order to meet the re-
quirement that half of the amount
collected from the estate of pension
recipients be paid to the United
States.
While the skeleton staff so far as
sembled by the Security Board had
not been able to complete its ex-
animation of the laws in those States,
some officials felt that the last seven
to enact pension measures might
meet the requirements.
These we're Arkansas, Rhode
Island, Vermont, Connecticut. Mis-
souri,, Illinois and Florida. Their
statutes were written while the Fed.
