three men had come into his
restaurant that morning and
eaten a ravenous breakfast,
"But think you've got the
wrong men," the proprietor in
sisted. II know one OF those men.
He's Mickey Moran, a pretty

"Have YOU any idea where
they went from here?" Parker
asked.
"While they were eating i

friends they'd better hurry, the

Inside the safe. which was

Although Detective James r.

Public opinion is thus pre-

general pension for our retired

Yet experts of the social secu-

Theodore F. Green CD of Rhode

federal maximum.

smaller.

On August % he signed a re-
port as chairman of a special
Senate committee to investigate
the old-age pension system
which is perhaps the most COM
prehensive document on this
subject to come from any con-
gressional group.
In substance, it builds a case
for higher pensions on founda-
ton of information and statis-
tics supplied by the social Sc
curity board.
The report was laid before
the Senate in the midst of its
consideration of the new tax
bill. 1t was Downey's original
purpose to force a vote on the
$50 pension proposal as an
amendment to that measure.

Obstacles to Action

Obstacles to quick congress
sional action include wide diff
ferences of opinion as TO the
number of persons affected by
pension programs, the cost OF
various alternatives, and the
revenue to be expected from tax
payments during the next few
years in the light of the defense
boom and rising national in
come, TO be followed inevitably
by a sharp recession as war is
succeeded by peace.
The revenue factor admittedly
Is unpredictable beyond the next
year or two, since social security
deductions rise and fall with the
expanion or curtailment of pay
rolls.
No one knows precisely what
the Downey plan In itself would
cost, but il would be plenty. His
argument is that the country
wants more adequate pensions

IN THE morning OF Jan. 10,
" 1920, three men walked out
OF the gates Of Camp Dix,
tramped through the slush to-
ward the town.
One, a thin. tight-lipped youth,
was saying:

touch"
He had been mustered out
three days earlier but was hang

Irish shrugged his husky shout

soldier. but lived in town and
liked 10 hang out with the

At 9 o'clock that night the
trio approached John Worm

his stand near the railroad
station.
The three men climbed into
the rear seat, Norwood got

started. AS they passed through

pocket and crashed it against

MORE HOSPITALS
NEEDED FOR VETS

Increased hospital facilities and
nursing staffs are needed immediately
to care for disabled veterans, now be-
ing crowded out of army, navy and
marine hospitals by the influx of
draftees and enlisted men.
This was the consensus Of members
Of Disabled Veterans Of the World
War, heard in casual conversation and
voiced by speakers as the members
recently met In Great Falls for the
annual state convention Of the organ
ization and its auxiLaries.
Since the World war ended, men
disabled in that conflict have been
receiving care in hospitals only slight
" used in peacetime by the army,
navy and marine corps. Now, it was
emphasized, all that is changed. Armed
forces of the nation have increased
to such an extent that enlisted men
are using nearly all facilities OF the
hospitals, with the result that there
are now available at least 5000 less
hospital beds than are needed TO care
for disabled veterans, convention dele
gates asserted.
They cited the army hospital at e
Paso, Tex, which has been caring for
75O disabled veterans. Since the de-
tense program got under way, troop
concentrations near the hospital have
provided enough patients to use every
bed in the hospital, necessitating re-
rnovaI OF the disabled to other hos
pitfalls and In some instances to other
states.

FORT MISSOLJLA
GROWS AS POST

The government has started work on
Is new barracks to double the capacity
Of the alien detention camp at Fort

custody.
Disclosing this step, justice depart
ment official said that it was not to
be construed as implying any new
moves for detention of noncitizens, but
was intended only for preparedness.
This official said that the normal
capacity of the camp is 1000 ode
tainees"- "a word which the immigra-
ton and naturalization service uses
in preference to prisoner or internee-
and that this figure has been ap-
preached by the Italian sailors already
sent to MisSoula. In addition some
Italians taken into custody for over
staying their leave after working at
the New York worlds fair are held at
Ellis island and may be moved west
when quarters are available.
The new barracks are being so 10
Gated, however, that they can be used
from the existing buildings,

other than italian to the camp. A poll
