Old Age Bill
IS Vetoed
Van Wosonsr
Rejects Act

CLEANSING, May % (R -
Governor Van Wagner today
vetoed q bill to liberalize eligi-
bility requirements of the old
age assistance program.
He said the bill, which would
have opened the old age assist
ance rolls to persons who possess
more property than now is per-
missible, would have added a.
900 individuals to the case load
and increased the cost more
than 100000 q year.
He added that he had the as
surance Of the federal social Sc
curity board and the state well
fare commission that the meas
ure conflicted with federal re-
quirements and that to sign it
would be to jeopardize federal
aid to the social security pro-
gram.
F. F. Fauri, head of the state
social security bureau, said to-
day old &c assistance clients
would notice no immediate eff
feet from bills newly enacted by
the legislature.
Fauri said the bureaus pri-
mary interest was in providing
old age assistance for all eligible
applicants, and that the waiting
list has been reduced to $4,000
cases, the lowest number since
July, 1887, when the age limit
of beneficiaries was reduced
from 70 to IS.
He estimated three months
would be required to catch up
with this backlog, and that it
would be time enough then to
determine how far the state
could 60 in increasing benefits
under enabling legislation which
has been adopted.
In any event, he said, the bill
allowing grants up to $40 a
month, in place of the present
$40 limit, was not made immedi-
ately effective by the legislature.
Therefore, Fauri explained, il
will not become operative until
80 days after the sine die ad-
journment of the legislature in
mid-July.

Britain's third cruiser loss in the

announced by the admiralty to-

The powerful. 8,250-ton war
ship had been under repair at

miralty said she must now be

having been bombed again and
again from the air.
Although the York normally
carried about 600 men, the ad-
miralty said 1t had been in

Ave injured among her crew.
Thus, the acknowledged price

defense of the Greek island is
raised to three cruisers and four
destroyers sunk, as well as two
battleships and several other
cruisers damaged.

WASHINGTON, May 29-tR
Indefinite military duty for
the National Guard was consid-
cred a virtual certainty by Army
officials today because of the
unlimited national emergency
proclaimed by President Roose-
welt.
An early request to Congress
for authority to retain the 291.-
900 guardsmen in service beyond
the current single year of train
ing was accordingly anticipated,
although no final decision has
been disclosed on the question.
In the light Of the threat to
American security pictured by
the chief executive, an informed
official suggested II would be
hardly logical" to demobifize
ID full divisions of trained
troops. representing more than
half the number of such major
units under arms in all the ex-
panding land forces.
Pending q definite decision,
the war department has gone
ahead nevertheless perfecting
detailed plans to fill the guard
mems places with selective serv-
ice trainees, organized into en-
tirely new divisions.
Both Secretary Stmson and
General George C.. Mahshall.
Army chief Of staff, have fore
cast that the decision would be
made probably next month and
would be based on the general
defense outlook at that time.
Officials were inclined to
doubt that the President. even
under an unlimited emergency,
had the power to extend the
guards one-year training period
without congressional action,
They cited the 1920 national de-
Tense act which provides that
Federal service for the nation
al guard should not exceed Ia
days . year except In the event
Of Z national emergency de
clared by Congress" It was
likewise pointed out that special
legislation TO authorize the cur
rent one years training was en-

quest.

$4,000 u. S. Planes
Seen by Fall Of '43
F.D.R. TO ASK FUNDS NEEDED
FOR COMBINED ARMY-NAVY FORCE

WASHINGTON, May 29-(R
"A combined Army-Navy air
force of $4,000 warplanes, in
formed legislators disclosed to-
day, will be provided by the
funds which President Roose-
welt has asked of Congress. The
full strength is expected to be
reached by the fall Of 1913.
Members of the House mill
tary appropriations subcommit-
tee said Robert p. Patterson,
Undersecretary of War. had told
them that with funds in the So
49,, 800, 900 War Department
supply bill which the subcom-
mittee approved late yesterday,
the Army Air Corps would be
able to acquire a total of 49,
900 planes.
The huge appropriation-lar-
gest single supply bill since
World War days = was increas-
ed at the last minute to include
the 90,890,785 requested
Tuesday by President Roosevelt
to give the Army $4,000 addi-
tional planes. The chief execu-
tive also asked $539, 046, 900 for
the Navy which committee men,
bers said would complete the
fleets 10,000-plane program.
Legislators said Patterson
testified the Army expected to
have its $4,000 planes on hand
by September or October of
1943.
Plans already have been an
nounced by the office of produc-
ton management for stepping
up the output of heavy bombers
to 500 q month in efforts to
meet the need Of both Britain
and this country for such long
range aerial striking power.
There even were indications that
this rate would be accelerated
further.
There was no breakdown of
the number of planes of each
type-bombers, pursuits, etc. -
which the bill would provide,
but much of the money was be-
lieved to be earmarked for
bombers.

they had sought to learn whether
the latest expansion of the air
craft program had the full sup
port of the, Army or had been
advapaed by the OPM to assure

Accidents
May Claim
400 Lives

CHICAGO, May 29-(R-The
national safety council sinisterly
predicted today that the Ameri-
can vacation season might be
started this weekend with the
largest Memorial Day traffic toll
in history.
A loss of some 400 lives over
the weekend can be prevented,
the council stated, only by extra
ordinary caution of motorists
and pedestrians.
Traffic fatalities already are
running 1900 ahead of last year,
the council reported. In the Arst
four months of this year, 10. 78O
persons were killed, compared
with $3.50 for the same period
last year.
In April alone, the death toll
was $500, Is per cent more than
the 2,240 killed in April, 1910.
In the light of these rising
figures the council called upon
everyone to carry the Memorial
Day spirit one step further "by
protecting the living as well as
honoring the dead"
Increased travel was held to
be a factor in the rise, but the
council said, "the upward death
trend can be blamed entirely on
rural areas and smaller towns,
where traffic deaths are almost
one-fourth greater than last
year."
Fifteen Of Al reporting states
showed decreases from April,
1910. Wyoming's was the largest,
% per cent, which the council
interpreted as eight lives saved.
Memphis led all cities Of more
than 100000 population with an
81 per cent reduction for the first
four months. It's death-free rec
ord for March and April enabled
IL to nose out Portland, Ore,
which had q SO per cent drop
Kansas City, Newark and Provi.
dence had reductions of 80 per
cent or more.
New York's 10 per cent de-
cline was judged to have saved
the most livesN59 for the flrst
four months. In all, - Of 80 re-
porting cities of ESQ., 900 or more
population showed reductions.
