Mrs. Leonora Jenerys
Dies in Sanitarium

Mrs. Leonora Compton Jefferys.
IS. who played prominent role in
launching the observance of Mothers
Day in Washington, died yesterday
at Oak Retreat Sanitarium, Rock
Vile, Md.
A girlhood companion of Anna
Jarvis, national founder OF Mothers
Day, Mrs. Jefferys more than a
quarter of a century ago was pre-
vailed upon by her friends to give
the movement impetus in the Dis
trict.
She complied by distributing bas-
kets of carnations to various
churches. where they were passed
out to parishioners on the Sunday
that now is recognized as Mothers
Day.
Her son. Wilbur N. Jefferys, now
a War Department employe. aided
his mother in giving Mothers Day
a foothold by lending a hand
though but youngster-in dis
tributing the carnations.
A native of Grafton. w. Va, Mrs
Jefferys had lived In Washington
and nearby Maryland for about so
years. More recently she had made
her home in Takoma Park. She
was the widow of Eugene G. jeff
erys, one-time real estate dealer.
Funeral services will be held this
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at Hines
undertaking establishment. Burial
will take place tomorrow at Grafton,
w. Va,

Defendant Acquitted
In Jewel Cases

Percival J. Abelman. General Ac-
dounting Office employe who was on
trial on a charge of receiving prop
erty stolen in two jewel thefts here,
vas freed today by Justice Jesse C.
Adkins in Criminal Court.
Justice Adkins, acting on mo-
Gon filed by Mr. Abelman's coun-
sci. ruled that the Government had
failed to make a case against the
defendant.
The judge upheld the contention
of the defendants lawyer, James
R. Kirkland, that the evidence
against Mr.. Abelman was illegally
obtained.
The trial of Michael Steinberg,
who faces charges growing out of
the same thefts. proceeded before
Justice Adkins and a jury. Mr..
Steinberg is accused as the fence"
who handled loot obtained in the
robberies of the Myer Greenbaum
jewelry store, l4l1 U street NV,
and of Castelberg's jewelry store at
1DO4 F street NV. last April.
The Castelberg loot, the Gov
eminent contends, was worth $4,000
and was disposed of for $500, while
the Greenbaum property, worth $500,
was sold for S45.

Plan for Disability
Insurance Detailed
By Dr.. AItmeyer
Positive Recommendation
Promised Later at
House Heurina
BY JOHN C.. HENRY.

Arthur j. Altmeyer, chairman Of
the Social Security Board, outlined
for the House Ways and Means
Committee today plan Of insurance
against permanent and total dis
ability Of persons covered by the
old-age benefits system.
At the same time DR.. Altmeyer
emphasized the proposal was not be-
ing submitted as a positive recon-
mendation for immediate action.
Under questioning by Representa-
tive Mccormack. Democrat, of Mas
sachusetts, the chairman declared he
would need to consult further with
the board before urging action either
for or against the plan.
He promised to discuss the matter
further with his board and bring a
more positive recommendation to
the committee before it completes it
hearings.
10000 by 1910 Estimated.
With benefits to follow the same
schedule for the most part as are
proposed in straight old-age insur-
ance, DR. Altmeyer estimated the
disability program would cover $4,000
persons in 1910 and cost $4,000, ,0OO;
by 1941 the estimated cost would
rise to s67 900 900, by 1912 to $685.
00O, 900 and by 1945 to s162 100000.
Coverage, he added, would reach
876000 persons by 1860.
If this program were added to
other liberaliZations already recon-
mended by the board, Chairman
Altmeyer said, the eventful cost in
1880 would be no more than that of
the present system, although
heavier burden in the earlier years
would raise the average cost.
Throughout his discussion of the
disability plan. he emphasized it is
not intended to replace State work.
mems compensation laws nor to re-
duce liability of employers for in
juries received by workers while at
their jobs.
Strict Definition.
To afford such protection of pres
ent laws, the chairman explained,
the covered disability would be very
strictly defined to exclude that suf-
fered while actually at work in en-
ployment covered by the compensa-
ton laws.
DR.. Altmeyer told the committee
that with the single exception of
Spain, every other country which
has system of old-age insurance
has made provision for permanent
disability.
The board recognizes the prob
lens of administration and of cost
that would be involved. 1t does not,
however, believe that administrative
problems are insuperable, and it
points out that cost might be kept
within reasonable limits if a fairly
strict definition of permanent total
disability were adopted"
