APARTMENTS NEAR
UNION STATION:
While this apartment Is not in
a most exclusive neighborhood, I
feel safe in telling you that it Of
ferS much in the way of comfort
at a most reasonable price. The
apartments are strictly modern,
with up-to-date kitchens, dinettes
and large, well-arranged rooms
and tile baths. There are several
vacancies ranging in size from one
room, kitchen, dinette and bath,
to two rooms, kitchen, dinette and
bath. You will be agreeably sur
prised at the rental. This apart
ment building is located in the vi
cinity of Union Station, the Capt.
tol and the new Government
buildings.
APARTMENT HOTEL
DOWNTOWN:
If you have been looking for a
small furnished unit conveniently
located, see these at once. In one
of the downtown hotels, in fact,
it is located right in the heart of

very appealing vacancy. This

it's distinctiveneSs and its prestige

B Another ADDED attraction is Cne
restaurant where one can get the
best of meals very reasonably. The
apartment I visited consisted OF
a huge double living room, two
bedrooms, kitchen and bath, the
sleeping quarters being distinctly
apart from the balance Of the
apartment. In the rental, which
is most fair, electricity and gas are
included and I am most pleased
to be able to present such an at
tractive unit for your inspection.

General Cummings yesterday after

said:
"In q 3-to-2 decision Of the United
State Court Of Appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia, 1t was decided that
the suburban housing project of the
Resettlemeut Administration in Bound
Brook, N. j., was unauthorized. The
majority held that the activity was
an interference with the reserved
powers of the States and depended
upon the unlawful delegation Of legis.
lative power by Congress. The
decision was limited to the particular
type Of project involved, and, as
interpret it, was not intended to apply
to other agencies of the Government
nor to other activities Of the Re-
settlement Administration.
Created by executiv. order April 80,

took over several activities of other
Government agencies, and was financed

while attacking the amount of power

Dickinson said he has heard whispers

Hopkins. The Iowa Senator then
added:
"Of course, it is an honorable am
bition to become President, and no
one objects to Mr.. Hopkins nourishing
that dream. But are the taxpayers of

Huge stacks of the neatly printed
certificates bearing the portrait OF

the necessarily complicated route from

Approximately 100000 ex-soldiers

mated.

Getting the bonds off to the vet
Grams is far more of a task than run
ming them through the Bureau of En-
craving Office presses.
They must be sent to the loans and
currency division of the Treasury for
checking and rechecking against lists
from the Veterans Administration.
Add to Completely of Job.
Odd lengths of service and varying
loans obtained on the certificates add
to the complexity of the job. If the
veterans received only round sums,
compensation could be figured with
considerably less detail through allo-
cation of the $50 bonds.
But with the majority of claims
running into odd dollars and cents,
the Treasury must write checks for
the odd amounts.
Some of these are for as little as
! cent. Officials predict that the
Government will gain on many of
these because they say some veterans
will keep them for souvenirs.
