THE INNOCENT BYSTANDER

Attackers of chain merchandising
systems. and advocates of punitive
special taxes that would make grouI
operation virtually impossible on a
wide scale. usually take no notice OF
the innocent bystander who has the
greatest interest in the controversy
the consuming public.
Anything which artifically forces
up prices is inimical to the public
interest. and so is anything which
makes it impossible to further re-
duce prices through increased mer-
chandising efficiency or lowered
overhead.
If the chains actually menaced the
existence of progressive independent
merchants. it might be possible to
overlook the consumers stake in the
problem. But as unimpeachable fig
ures show. Independent merchants
are doing a steadily increasing vol
ume of business, and are thriving in
the face of chain competition. In
many cases. chains have been un-
able to meet the competition of wide
awake independents.
The people should beware of any
proposed movement that might de-
prive the consuming public Of eco
nOmic benefits accruing not only
from mass buying and selling, but
from competition within the mer-
industry. The chains
serve definite need-so do the in
Both should be treated
fairly, and neither should be penal
lied. Under such a policy, both
chains and independents will con-
tinue to progress-and the public
will reap the benefits.

WASHINGTON SNAPSHOTS

Oh-the-record cheers of thanks
giving about the Capitol are still
greeting Senator Bones remarks OF
the Senate floor about the "nascen
and budding OGPU" being built NJ
by the Federal Government.
Bone, of course, is a Democrat
Therefore, it took something rather
potent to make him accuse his owT
administration of building up a spy
system which he said is beginning tC
resemble Soviet Russia's secret pO-
! lice-the OGPU. Exactly what prod
ded him into uring an investigation
Og utterly indefensible" activities
of the federal "super-sleuths" no.
body knows. for Bone has not told
even in private.
-OOO-
The fact is that many members of
Congress have objected. privately
for the most part, to the creation of
new investigating agencies. After
Bones speech, one curious House
Democratic chief jOtted down all the
Federal agencies he could remember
which had "super-sleuths" looking
into private affairs. His list includ-
ed:
Interior Department, Public
Works Administration, Narcotics Di-
vision. Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Division of Investigation of the JUS
tice Department, Farm Administra-
tion, Home Owners Loan Corpora
tion, Reconstruction Finance Cor
w,nwoffnrr r,f or inn
Transportation COordinatOr, Federal
Board. Federal Deposit In
surance Corporation, POstOffice, Tug
wells Resettlement Administration,
and the Communications Commits
sion.
In that list the Congressman did
not include any of the special inves-
LEGATIONS being made by Congress
sional committees. Yet after he had
it. he remarked that with
the estate and inheritance taxes you
can't even die, much less conduct
your affairs while you live, without
having a federal hanging around |
just out of sight --'
Equally as odd was the recent :
charge made by Senator Van Nuys /
Of Indiana. another Democrat. that
NPA employees were being used in

Veterans Heirs Ask
How to Get Bonus

wife divorced him, and he mar
ried again, then died. His papers
were signed to his first wife and
child. Is the child entitled to his
fathers bonus? (Mrs. E. To.
Answer-If by papers" you
mean an adjusted service certifi-
cate, then the first wife and child
are entitled to the bonus. But If
your son died some time ago, it
is probable his bonus has already
been paid to someone, possibly his
second wife, providing his death
was reported to the Veterans Ad-
ministration. However, for COM
plete information you might write
to the administration at Vermont
Avenue and H Street Northwest,
Washington, D. c.
Question-My husband disap-
peared 13 years ago, leaving me
with a daughter. I don't know
whether he is dead or not. How
could 1 find out if he has claimed
his bonus? (Mrs. w. A. W.
Answer-Write to the Veterans
Administration.
Question: would like to know
if 1 could get my fathers bonus.
When he died he left some money
for me when 1 am 81, but I do not
know whether the bonus money is
in it or not. If it isn't, can I get
his bonus?
Answer-If your father secured
an adjusted service certificate be-
fore he died, and if you are either
the first legal heir or named as
beneficiary on it, you would have
already received at least a part OF
his bonus if his death was re-
ported to the Veterans Admins
tration.
If he named someone else as
beneficiary, you are ineligible.
However, if he never applied for
certificate, his children share alike
in the bonus, providing there is no
widow, who is a legal heir under
the adjusted service compensation
act of 1923. In the latter case,
application must be made to the
proper authorities, who will be
listed for you if you will write
again and name the service with
which he was connected.

is a complicated one, covered by
various laws and regulations, GER
tain relatives may receive a dead

he applied for an adjusted service

ficiary, however, that beneficiary
is the only legal heir.

REAL ESTATE

Four millions of dollars is a
great deal Of money.
That's the way local real es
tate men feel about it, because
the figure represents the amount
scheduled to be expended by
World War veterans in the Dis
trict for homes and farms, when
cash from their "baby bonds
becomes available for them be.
ginning June IT.
The precise sum, based on
survey conducted by the Ameri'
can Legion among 42,500 Of its
members, is $3,926,720.
And it is the closest possible
estimate of the money to be paid
out in washington for buying and
building houses, for repairing and
painting houses, and for purchaS'
ing lots and farms.
The largest item in the real
estate category is $1,072 800, or
about 6.706 per cent of the 16 mil.
lion dollars in "baby bonds" to be
distributed here, which is ear
marked for the repair and improve
ment of homes now owned by local
veterans.
Importance Of Sum
The Importance Of this $1,072,-
$50 item can we'll be judged from
the fact that 1t is about one-third
Of the approximately $3,400,000 in
modernization loans for the Dis
trict approved by the Federal
Housing Administration since Oc-
tober of 1934-although the houS-
ing loans do not include those
made for modernization purposes
by local building and loan asso-
Citations.
The money for repairing and
improving will go to local archi-
tects, builders, carpenters, brick
layers, lumber yards and many
other types Of businesses and
workmen.
Next most important in the real
estate list is the amount-about
