CARE Of VETERANS
HITS $76O,0OO,0DO
Legion Likely to ConCen.
trate on Bonus and Bene-
fits for Widows.
BY the Associated Press.

Veterans Administration officials
calculated today that the Govern
ment is spending in the neighborhood
of $3.50, 900. 900 this year on war vet
erans and their dependents.
The officials considered recently re-
stored benefits in making this calcu-
lation. The total compared with an
outlay of s5S1 ,9SS 900 during the first
year after passage of the 1893 econ
omy act
Although many savings made under
the economy act have been wiped out
by Congress and executive orders, one
Of more than s100,000,00O annually
was shown to be intact. 1t is the re-
suit of denying compensation to World
War veterans who have non-service-
connected disabilities, but are not en-
tirely incapacitated by them.
Questioned as to whether the next
Congress would be asked to restore
this class Of benefits, American Legion
officials here expressed doubj Lha.
their national convention in st. LOUIS
next week would make such a request.
They predicted the convention would
concentrate on recommendation foc
immediate payment of the bonus and
for care of widows and orphans of
veterans dying of on-service-cor-
nected causes.
The Veterans Administration is
preparing to ask the next Congress
for deficiency appropriation Of
about $39, ,391 800 to meet the cost of
restoring benefits this year to veterans

De LUXE BUS SERVICE
HIT BY COMPETITION
Connecticut Avenue Line Taking
Chevy Chase Patrons, Util-
tiles Body Told.

The future of the Chevy Chase de
luxe, extra-fare coach line has been
placed in doubt by the apparent sue
cess of the substitution of busses for
the Connecticut avenue street car
line, officials of the Public Utilities
Commission said today.
Passenger use of the de luxe line
has dropped heavily since the start
of the regular and express bus lines
on Connecticut avenue. a check made
by commission experts revealed today.
This situation raises the question
Of the continuation-or. at least, of
the extent of the continuation-of the
service on the de luxe coach line"
said Richmond B. Keech, vice chair
man of the commission.
Capital Transit Co. officials today
were considering the elimination of
express bus service on Connecticut
avenue, except during morning and
afternoon rush hours. II this is done
the local bus service will be in
creased, they said.
THE expresses, except in the rush
periods, are not very popular and We
probably will take them of except
during the limited times they are re-
quired to handle large crowds" one
official said.

PLAN ADDITIONAL
AID TO STUDENTS
Youth Administration May
Include Correspondence
Courses in Program.
By the Associated Press.

| by INC ASsOClhleQ FTeSS.
Correspondence courses may be Of
fered by the National Youth Admin
istration to young people who can
not afford to remain in school, but
whose families are too proud or self
reliant to apply for relief.
The plan has been worked out in
conferences with representatives Of a
number of university extension serv-
ices. They estimated 81 ,600.0O0 would
be necessary to put it in operation
and maintain 1t until next June.
President Roosevelt's Works Allotment
Board probably will pass upon a re-
quest for such a sum in the near
future.
Action Follows Protests.
Consideration of the correspond
ence courses followed protests from
several sources that other forms of
aid offered college and high school
students would not reach many on
the border line" OF relief.
These sources pointed out that the
$6-a-month payments promised high
school students who have a relief
status" would not be available to boys
and girls whose families are hard
pressed, but not actually on relief
They said also that the sl5-a-month
aid offered college students who other
wise would have to leave school was
not sufficient to solve the problem
for those who have no other re-
sources.
Under the proposal to meet this
situation the correspondence studies
would be offered to persons between
16 and Is who are forced to quit
scho0.
70 Use Unemployed Teachers.
The plan is to use unemployed
teachers to draft or assemble the COR
respondence courses under the super
vision Of state departments of educa-
ton or other public institutions. These
public institutions also would select
instructors from relief rolls to receive
and grade students papers. In COM
munities where sufficient correspond
ent students lived near enough to
come in occasionally, local authori-
ties would be asked to set up study
centers with some library facilities
and unemployed teachers in charge.
DR.. J. D. Russell, associate professor
Of education at the University Of Chi
cago, who has been loaned to the
Youth Administration temporarily as
a consultant, said today that the pro-
posal would operate mainly in rural
areas where children are so far from
schools they cannot attend without
boarding away from home.

The text of the proclamation fol-
lows:
whereas disastrous and destructive
fires annually take an enormous toll of
human life and property and disrupt
the orderly course Of business pro-
ductivity; and
Whereas it Is the duty of every
citizen to aid in the prevention OF
such fires as far as possible: and
whereas such fires can largely be
prevented by the exercise of proper
care and the use of appropriate fire.

Whereas it is highly desirable that
the attention Of the people be di-
rected to the necessity for the pre-
vention of such fires:
Now, therefore, I, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, President of the United
States Of America, do hereby pro-
claim and designate the week begin

tion week, and I particularly urge
State and municipal officials, civic
and commercial organizations, school

courage the study of ways and means
whereby fire hazards and the dis
astrous consequences of fire may be

BOUNDARY GROUP
GETS ISLAND DATA
Federal Counsel Declares
Part of Airport Site Was
Once an Island.

The District OF Columbia Virginia
Boundary Commission today harked
back to the days when Southwest
Washington was known as the
island" in connection with efforts by
the Government to show that Alex
anders ISlard. which one existed across
the Potomac, was not just peninsula.
Henry H. Classic. chief of Federal
counsel. in final arguments before the
commission, pointed out that whereas
the southwest island" was actually
a part of the mainland of Washington,
Alexanders Island. where the Wash
ington-Hoover Airport now stands,
was separated from the Virginia shore
by tidewater marsh.
II the Governme ITS contention pre-
walls, approximately half Of the air
port property would come under Fed
eral Jurisdiction.
Gives Historical Outline.
Classic, in response to a query
from Chairman Charles H. Brough,
gave an interesting historical expla-
nation of why Southwest Washington
was once called an island. He said
that old Tiber Greek extended from
the Capitol grounds along what is
now Constitution avenue south of the
White House grounds and into the
Potomac River. separating the Mall
and part of Southwest Washington
from the northwest part of the city.
Another creek, called st. James Creek
extended from near the Capitol
grounds to the Eastern Branch. With
| a view to opening a ship lane from
Eastern Branch by way of st. James
and Tiber Greeks to the Potomac at
West Washington, Classic explained.
a canal was built connecting the two
streams. The canal, he said was in
the vicinity of what is now known
as Canal street.
Alexander's Island Natural.
Thus, Classic told the commission,
Southwest Washington in the old days
was an artificial island. whereas Alex
anders Island was natural and its
confguration was shown on all re-
liable r ps Of the period
Classic caused amusement in the
hearing room by recalling that in his
boyhood days in Washington the is
landers" were rather clannish and
that when a strange boy ventured
across one of the bridges onto the
island, he usually was greeted by
stern command to "trot" from bellig-
erent island children.
If he didn't trot," Classic pointed
out, "a hail of stones and other mis-
siles would rain upon the intruder,
who thereupon would retreat, gather
ing his own band of boys together and
engage in a veritable pitched battle
across the creek"

DISTRICT PONDERS
CONGRESS APPEAL
FOR TRANS|ENTS
Disorders and SUFFERING Are
Feared When Relief
Is Halted.
ALLEN is AWAITED
TO DETERMINE STEP
Data Being Collected by Miss Hill
on Effects of Transfer to
Works Program.

Whether an appeal should be made
to the Federal Government for modi-
fcation of restrictive rules on aid for
transients and the new work-relief
program was being pondered today by
District relief officials.
Decision apparently will be with
held until the return from vacation OF
Commissioner Allen. District relief and
works administrator. who is expected
back to his desk in a few days"
Fear Of disorders and suffering as
result Of the shutdown on accept
ance Of any new transient relief ap-
plicationS after tomorrow midnight
was voiced by directors of the Coun-
Gil Of Social Agencies. Miss Louise
A. Roberts, secretary, asked the Com
missioners today for an appointment.
but was advised the situation would
be outlined to Allen when he returns.
Data Being Collected.
Meanwhile. Miss Alice Hill, relief
director. is collecting data on the ef-
fects of the transfer of cases from the
emergency relief rolls to the new works
program. This will be laid before
Allen as a guide to whether Federal
officials should be asked to loosen rules
SO that supplementary" aid might be
given.
Complaints have been made that
under the works rules fixing wages
at from S45 to S79 a month. some
families will suffer for lack of ade-
quate funds. Under the old system
the needs of each family were calcu-
lated and a budget allowed to cover
estimated needs. Under the new set
up the worker gets only a standard
sum for his class Of work The larger
families will suffer, some District Off
cials say
Transient Aid Limited.
After tomorrow night the District
will have but very limited resources
for aiding transients other than those
already on the roster at the Transient
Bureau. Elwood Street, welfars Gi-
rector, announced today the 0lo
Municipal Lodging House, $40 Third
street, will be opened for the care
of extreme emergency cases among
newly arrived transients. Its capacity
is about so. 1t has been used recently
for care of homeless District residents.
