Court Ruling Gives
Veterans Official
Final Say in Claims
Appeals Bench Denies
Writ to Force Payment
Of Insurance Benefit

Final authority in insurance bene-
fit claims, so far as the Veterans
Administration is concerned, rests
with the administrator, the United
States Court of Appeals ruled in an
opinion yesterday.
The court denied mandamuS pc
tition in which Frank Morgan, ad-
ministrator of the estate of William
Nicholas, World War veteran, who
died September 4, 1926, sought to
compel the administrator of vet
erans' affairs to pay q $4,000 insur-
ance claim on the grounds that the
claim had been approved by the In
surance Claims Council of the Vet
erans' Administration.
This ruling, in effect, means that
claimants appeals from an adverse
decision by the administrator of
veterans affairs must be in the
form Of Federal District Court suits
against the Government, according
to Assistant United States Attorney
Albert Goldstein, who argued the
case for the Government.
Mr.. Morgan's appeal to the Court
of Appeals came after his mandamus
petition had been dismissed by the
District Court. The higher court
asserted that such q mandamus can
not properly be sought in war risk
insurance cases. This decision, Mr.
Goldstein said, Is Of importance in
similar cases involving former service
men and women.
The opinion was written by Asso-
ciate Justice Fred M. VinSon and
concurred in by Chief Justice D.
Lawrence Groner and Associate JUS
tice Justice Miller.

Road laboratories
To Move 10 Langley

The road materials testing labora-
tories of the Public Roads Admin
istration, now occupying a building
on . 50-acre tract west of the new
Washington National Airport, will
be moved to q recently purchased
tract of about 400 acres near Lang
ley, Va, on Route 8, the Public
Roads Administration said today.
This move will make possible the
long-contemplated establishment Of
Civil Aeronautics Authority head
quarters on the nearby Virginia site
adjoining the airport, which is ex-
pected to be completed next year.
President Roosevelt last Septem-
Der directed the Public Works Ad-
ministration to allot 81, ,450,000 Of
its funds to reimburse the public
roads agency for the loss Of its
buildings and to defray the expense
Of remodeling them for airport pur-
poses. About $3.50 was reserved
for the remodeling project.
The laboratories were occupied
last August by the Public Roads
Administration, but they were
planned and construction was be-
gun on them prior to the erection
of the airport site. Objection to
the erection Of the laboratory build
ings was voiced, however, by the
House Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds after exhaustive
hearings.
Construction of new laboratory
buildings on the site, about ~ miles
northwest Of Chain Bridge. Is ex-
pected to begin soon.
G. A. A. officials have often ex-
pressed the desire 10 occupy the
projected headquarters 1T the air
port site Is soon as possible, since
their present omces are scattered
throughout the city.

He was . bit bitter about the
past policies of the individual Scan
dinavian governments. Much more
could have been done than was done
in the way of northern unity" he
commented-and he lamented the

took place after invasion.
He warned the Americas that If
the Monroe Doctrine is to mean

vance preparation-planning. The

Academic Emphasis
Blamed for 'Misfits'

Present emphasis on academic
education has developed type Of
school which produces "misfit and
lopsided" youths. the Rev. DR..
George johnson, head of the Cath
olic University department OF edu-
cation, said last night at the be-
ginning of a conference on the
Needs of Negro Youth conduct
ed under auspices of the Howard
University summer school
DR.. johnson said the educational
system should be reorganized by a
flexible curriculum to include the
varying aptitudes of American
youth.
The conference will continue at
BIS o'clock and again tomorrow
night.
DR.. johnson said he was unal-
terably opposed to conscription OF
youth but would leave to military
and Government officials the matter
of a general draft of others.
D. B. Lassiter, deputy admins
traitor for the, National Youth Ad-
ministration, described the N. Y. A
program in Georgia which he said
was typical Of what could be done
throughout the country.
Speakers tonight will be Kenneth
Holland, associate director of the
American Youth Commission, and
Ralph j. Bunche of Howard Uni
versity. DR.. Charles Wesley will
preside. President Mordecai w

Hombro Waits as a Fugitive
For Norwoy's Democracy
PorIioment's Chief
Officer Warns
U. S. to Prepare

President C. ]. Hambro of the
Norwegian Parliament. one of the
noted men of lost causes in today's
world. came back to Washington
yesterday.
He was here in 10l3-as q young
man who listened eagerly and con-
fidently to the hrst presidential ad-
dress before Congress Of Woodrow
Wilson, elected upon his cry for
"the new freedom" .sv,
Yesterday DR.. Hambro sank into
q sofa at the Norwegian Legation
and talked with newspapermen Of
regrets.
For the last Is years he has la
bored to perfect his own nations
experiment in freedom, but Is now
q fugitive from the land, waiting.
He waits to fulfill his legal duty: to
call Parliament together when
Norway shall again be free"
But his hope for regeneration Of
this freedom appears based on his
observation that "for quite . long
time now the only things that have
happened have been the unforeseen
things"
He didn't foresee, he recalled, that
the groups of German tourists who
used to hike around sketching
graceful Norwegian bridges would
return In Na1 uniform to blow them
up. He didn't foresee that the hun
cry German youngsters fed In Nor
way after the World War would re-
turn with bayonets to occupy the
territory.
Crushed along with Norwegian
democracy is the League of Nations,
founded by the man DR.. Hambro
heard here In 1918 and sustained
In large part by DR.. Hambro's ef-
forts. He is president of the League
Assembly. But We don't have SO
many men in the stan ofnces now"
he said. The men march OH to the
armies as neutral nations vanish" :"

er or not he will try. Traditionally,
conventions will allow one faction
to dominate the presidential NOM
ination and the platform, then the
delegates revolt. The dominant
faction rarely nominates a Vice
President.
: Theodore Roosevelt was nomi-
mated as Vice President by Senator
Platt and the New Yorkers as q pro-
test against the convention bosses
of 1900. notably Mark Hanna. The
Republican Senators In 1908 grimly
supported Taft instead of Cannon
but nominated Sherman. Harding
won his nomination from the group
who despised Coolidge. Hoover's
friends had to take Curtis, whose
views were distasteful to the head
of the ticket. And Garner Is the
last man that Franklin Roosevelt
would have picked for . vice presi-
Dental candidate in 1882. The
exigencies Of political intrigue tied
Mr.. Garner to Mr.. Roosevelt and
progressive Democrats took the
Texan. Mr.. Gamers third-term
candidacy, which started in noisly
Saturday, is losing verve. It is now
regarded as a Texas side-show, and
! If Mr.. Garner is defeated, his can
didacy will be used as 4 reason for
the Texas bolt.
But the most significant thing
about the convention Is the way 1t
started with the drama Of suspense
and with little interest In the daily
proceedings exactly as the Republi-
can convention opened three weeks
ago. These conventions this sum-
mer certainly do reflect the mind
Of the American people, which is
distraught and preoccupied by the
black, cyclonic shadow over Europe.
