Hearing Set on Measure
ENDING Coroner's Office

Chairman McCarran of the Senate
District Committee today called a
hearing at 10:30 am. Friday on
bill he is sponsoring for elimina-
ton of the Office of coroner here
and creation of the office of medical
examination.
The Nevadan asked Senator Bur-
ton, Republican, of Ohio, former
mayor of Cleveland and versed in
municipal affairs, to conduct the
session and invited testimony of the
American Medical Association, Dis
trict physicians and the Commits
sioners as well as the public.
Under present law, Senator Nc
Carran said. no authority exists to
supervise or regulate the Office of
coroner, and the coroner's inquest
is merely preliminary investiga-
tion in the administration of crim-
inal law.
THE best interests of the people
of the District" he said, cannot be
served by continuing in operation
such an outmoded Office and pro-
cedure."

A. F. |. Council May Act
On International Unity

The A. F. L. Executive Council,
which opens a Today spring meet

proposals for an international unfit
cation of labor policies in the in
terest of winning the war and de-
termining the peace.
Sir Walter Citrine. secretary of
the British Trades Union Congress,
was understood to be en- route to
this country to submit the proposal
to the council.
AS A. F. L. spokesmen now under
stand it, Sir Walters proposal en-
visions joint action by the American
Gncluding Canadian), British and
Soviet trade union movements so
that one voice could speak for labor
and deal with the United Nations
governments jointly. Such a step
would have an important bearing on
labor's representation and voice in
peace conferences after the war.

zation had no plans to consider such

Care Of Families
OF Servicemen
Called U. 5. Duty
McNutt Urges
House to Approve
Cash Allowances
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Paul v. McNutt. Federal security
administrator, declared today the
adequate financial care of depend
ents of men in the armed services
was "a Federal responsibility
Mr.. McNutt told the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee the care Of
dependents of soldiers and Navy
men was "a vital factor" for main
tanning the morale in both the
armed services and the civilian pop
ulation. The administrator empha-i
sized that financial assistance for
the dependents should not be con-
sidered as direct relief.
Ten Million Deferred.
He said that up to January 81,
1912, more than 100000 men had
received deferred status in the draft
because of dependents and added
that such liberal classification is
"unthinkable" in an all-out global
war effort.
The administrator said Is coun-
tries In all have made provision for
caring for the dependents of SOL
diers, sailors and marines.
Mr.. McNutt devoted most of his
testimony to proposal to permit
payments to dependents In "hard-
ship cases" in addition to proposed
Government allowances up to a
maximum Of $50 to dependents of
enlisted men who allot $40 monthly
to them, making $40 in all.
He urged that "f1exibility" be al
lowed in determining maximum
payments. saying "a system of fiat
allowances would be highly un-
democratic" and might result in
having an Army made up of the
rich and the poor, with the middle
class" exempted.
He emphasized that the matter of
providing for dependents of men in
the armed forces was "a Federal re-
sponsibility" and should not be con-
sidered to be one for charitable or
relief agencies to look after.
Demanded BY Public Policy.
Public policy" he asserted, "de-
mands that the compensation of a
soldier, including allotments, be
adequate to support his dependents. :"
Replying to questions Mr.. McNutt
said he was told that the War De-
partment, the Navy Department
and the Budget Bureau ARE in ac-
cord with" the provisions of the
legislation.
He told the committee that pay
ments under the bill would be "a
matter of right" and would be made
regardless of whether the depend
ents receiving them had adequate
income from other sources.

Farm Bloc Senators
Back Plan 10 Free
Wheat for Feed
Surplus Groin's Release
Seen Stimulating Stock
And Poultry Production
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senate farm bloc members offered
today to relax, in part, their opposi-
ton to sale of Government held
farm surpluses below parity prices
in order to release some excess wheat
supplies for feeding livestock and
poultry.
Chairman Russell Of . Senate
Appropriations Subcommittee con-
sidering the annual Agriculture De-
partment supply bill told reporters
he was very hopeful that an
amendment could be worked out
which would allow such sales of
wheat under certain conditions.
The amendment. he said, would be
offered as substitute for House.
approved provision designed to pre-
vent the sale of any Government
held commodities at prices below
parity-a level designed to give farm
products value comparable to that
of the years Immediately preceding
the World War.
Acceptance Expected.
Senator Russell said that while he
did not expect the substitute to meet
entirely administration objections to
the House provision, he believed the
administration would accept it.
The amendment would be drafted
he said, to prevent wheat sales at q
level which would depress present
corn prices, approximating IS per
cent of parity. The proposal would
permit below-parity sales of wheat
only for feed. except that deterio-
rated grain might be sold more
cheaply for manufacture of alcohol
and similar uses
Senator Russell said that there
would be an estimated $50 900, 900 to
800,000,00 bushels of wheat above
normal demand available this year
part of which could be used to pro-
vide additional livestock feed, there
by encouraging production of pork
dairy products and poultry. Off,
cials estimated, he said about 150.-
600, 900 bushels could be disposed of
in this way.
Huge Hog Surplus Cited.
Senator Russell said there were
10000 900 more hogs IN the coun-
try than at any previous time in
the Nations history and that re-
lease of surplus wheat supplies at
relatively. lower prices would enable
farmers to keep their hogs off the
market longer, thereby producing
more meat.
The Senate subcommittee began
considering amendments to the ap-
preparation bill yesterday, but Sen
ator Russell said that work had
been completed on only about halt
Of 140 proposed changes, most of
them minor.
