 ssThe unemployment of ex-service men in such large numbers through out the country" said Hines, "as has been experienced during the past several years, has resulted in increased demands for hospitaliza- ton, domiciliary care and monetary benefits.
 Tt has greatly stimulated de- mands for the cash payment Of Adjusted Service Certificates"
 Hines described extensive efforts made by the veterans administra- tion to aid distressed service men but added that "these efforts, how- ever, have not solved permanently the future of the unemployed non- disabled veteran now reaching mid- dle age."
 Hines said that the government had made every possible effort to lind unemployment for veterans.

 Meantime, Hines said, the num- ber of totally disabled, non-service- connected veterans is rapidly in- creasing "as Is to be expected with the advancing age of veterans and the hazards of disease and injury in civilian life." The June 30 total was set at 33,604, compared with 3i,l93 last year.
 Hines reported extensive develop ments in the administration medi- cal service, especially in the field of cancer and arthritis treatment.
 New Cancer Clinics Formed. "The question of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer is very ifn- portant one," he said, lat this time inasmuch as the number of veterans with cancer Is increasing rapidly SO much so that five auxiliary can- cer clinics have been established at strategic points throughout the country to take care of the increase cancer load.
 "The question of the diagnosis of arthritis and the best type treat ment for this disease is receiving attention. This disease, which is increasing in incidence in the ex- service population, is characterized by Q great deal of disablement and economic loss"

BUDGET FACES
A COMPLETE
REVISION

A revamped fiscal program,
made necessary when the recent
Supreme Courts AAA decision
knocked the new budget out Of
gear, was in course Of compile
ton today by President Roosevelt
and his financial advisers. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Roosevelt, it would
be ready for announcement within
week.
Faced with the necessity Of
asking for new taxes to replace
the outlawed processing taxes, and
further saddled with the addi-
tional cost Of immediate bonus
payment, the Administrations is
attempting to use the prustng
knife on all Government expendi,
lures once more. =
Economies designed to offset
partially new tax requirements
are being sought in three direc.
tions:
/. Further cuts in appropria-
tions affecting the immediate
budget and deficit.
2. Reduction Of appropriations
which would lower the national
debt.
3. Cancellation Of congressional
authorizations for lending agen-
cies which improved conditions no
longer mack necessary.
Exactly how the Administration
will attempt to finance its farm
program remained an official
secret.

GEN. HAG00D
HIT ON WPA
CRITICISM
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM
(Intarnatlonal News soFvics)

Pungent sarcastic broadsideS
directed at administration Of
WPA expenditures by Maj. Gen.
johnson HagoAd, commander Of
the Eighth Corps Area and the
Third Field Army, provoked sharp
controversy among House military
leaders today.
Hagood, In testifying before the
House War Department Approprt'
ations Committee recently, de-
scribed <WPA funds as stage
money" because you can pass 1t
around but you cannot get any
thing out of it in the end" He
added he had poured a lot OF
money down rat holes" because
the WPA preferred to spend
money on boondoggling ventures.
shortly after his testimony was
published Hagood became the
focal point for bitter congressional
criticism.
Resented by Rogers

that Hagood's remarks reflected

BY the time Nino Martini, tenor
star Of the screen and the Metro
politan, had reached Here's to
Romance" as an encore, many
feminine hearts were palpitating
with accentuated beat in rhythm
with their persistent hand clap
ping last night at Constitution
Hall.
That Martini was accorded a
rousing reception is putting it
quite mild. Both he, and his &C
companist Miguel Sandoval, were
called upon for encores at every
appearance. Mon e Ver;;" Women
Is Fickle;;" Here's To Romance" :"
II Carry You In My Pocket" and
20 Sol Mo" were but a few Of
the many encoreS Martini show
cred upon the audience.
It Is natural to suppose that the
published hints that Martini was
being groomed by movie interests
as the preSent-day Valentino and
the fact that he has been widely
publicized as one Of the most
prominent and most persistent
bachelors, had an influence IN
bringing out q full house composed
Of at least Is per cent Of the gen
tier sex.
Last year when Martini ap.
peared at Constitution Hall in
joint recital with Gladys Swarth'
out, his voice was superb. but last
night there was a noticeable i'm
provement in warmth of feeling
and personality. Realizing the
doubtful acoustics of the hall
Martini did not restrain his voice
but sang with full voice when the
occasion required 1t.
While his Largo" (HandeO and
air from Carmen" were greeted
with rounds Of applause, the
lighter songs such as "Vous danse2
Marquise," Gem airse), and
whats in the air today" Edenl,
to say nothing Of some Of the en-
cores, evoked the greatest show oi
appreciation from the audience
His careful diction shows atten
tion to every detail, although hi

pronunciation of English syllables
did not seem quite SO plain as
when he was heard hero last sea-
son.
Usually an audience seems to
consider groups of piano solos In
terspersed between groups Of
vocals works as a means Of giving
the singer q breathing spell. Not
so last night. Miguel Sandoval was
accorded q reception such as might
be expected had he been billed as
the soloiSt of the evening. In ad-
dition to displaying q most con-
genial setting in accompanying
Martini, Sandoval captured his
audience with a happy selection Of
short numbers Of varying moods
that gave ample opportunity for
showing his mastery of keyboard
technique.
In the fourth movement Of the
Jupiter Symphony" themes
from which are shown above,
Mozart wrote the greatest music
Of his life. The first simple
theme, consisting Of four tones,
becomes the basis Of a mighty
five-part fugue. The rhythm Of
the movement is swift and NOV
ing, speaking in noble phrases
until Jove seems to thunder. The
powerful ending doubtless gave
rise to the name.

cluded on the young peoples free

Reindeer Service
 To Move Deer To
 Barter Is. Section

Following is an account ob- tained from the U. s. Reindeer, headquarters at Nome, concern ing the planned moving of rein deer to the vicinity of Barter Island located on the Arctic Rim, to the eastward of Point Barrow.
 "Once again the Government will employ reindeer as an in strumentality to underwrite nat i've security.
 "As result of surveys made by the United States Reindeer Service during the past year, through which the need of addi- tional reindeer in the Barter Is- land section became apparent, plans have been formulated to move approximately 5000 rein deer from Barrow to this remote region on the Arctic rim.
 "Whereas 204,O00 reindeer were actually handled in the reindeer areas during the last year, 34,000 of which were used by Eskimos for food, clothing and other pur- poses, approximately 250 Eski- mos who live in the Barter Is- land section own a total of only 800 reindeer at the present time.
 'These Barter Island Eskimos have no salmon, no whale or wal rus, no mink, lynx, otter, muskrat beaver or other fur-bearing ani- mals, except fox. They must de- pend almost entirely upon white fox, migratory animal, for buy ing power.
 Many of these people lived at starvation level last winter; many of their dogs, most useful to the Eskimos, perished from starva- ton. They need sufficient rein deer at their trapping grounds to sustain them while trapping, as well as to secure them against the unfortunate vicissitudes of their hunting economy.
 "The Office of Indian Affairs is doing it's utmost to assure these people a safer existence, and to- ward the same end the Reindeer Service plans the moving of rein deer into the vicinity of their homes," it was declared.
