names on the minority report when Reps. Bernard W. Kearney, R., N K., and Charles w. Vursell, R., H., get back to town" The commit tee source said.
 He said the full membership of the committee was not present at the meeting where the bill was ap- proved and that many of those present had not voted.
 Meanwhile, the veterans commit tee approved a series of amend ments to liberalize the G. I. Bill of Rights. The bill, passed last year, has proved to be too compli- cated to administer, especially its loan provisions.
 The committee yesterday recom- mended passage of amendments which members said would elimin- ate much of the red tape that now confuseS veterans. The proposed amendments would:
 to do away with the necessity of
 1. Liberalize the loan provisions having the Veterans Administration approve all loans made to veter- ans.
 2. Permit veterans to take short, correspondence courses under the G. I. Bill as well as col- lege and other academic courses.
 3. Increase the sustenance al. lowance under the education pro- vision by $10 month.
 The amendments are expected to come before the House this week.
 Rankin was unsuccessful in try ing to have the committee approve his amendment to give a $1,040 grant to every ex-serviceman- whether employed or not. Under the present bill, unemployed veter- ans can get $20 a week assistance for one year.
 One committee member empha- sized that the bonus bill was not permanently turned down.

BY JAMES F. DONOVAN

Washington, July 11.-CUP)-The House Veterans Committees anti closed shop bill appeared to be def- initely side-tracked today-at least until fall.
 A committee member quoted House Republican Leader Joseph w. Mar tin of Massachusetts as saying the rules committee would not let the bill come to the floor before the expected summer recess.
 And in view of the adverse mi nority' report by a majority of the veterans committee, the rules committee may not even approve it in the fall," the member add ed.
 He said he did not know of any parliamentary method by which the bills sponsor-committee Chair man John E. Rankin, D., Miss could obtain immediate House ac- tion.
 The bill would exempt all vet erans from closed shop provisions of union contracts. It was approved by the committe last week but in a; minority report" issued yester- day II members of the 21-man com- mittee indicated that they were op- posed to the measure.

Poor Digestion? 61 i.i :; 'HeadacIly? DO Sour or Upset? % Tired-ListIess? %

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digeeted properly.
 Each day. Nature must produce about two pints of . vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly often in as little as 30 minutes. And, you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract indigesrion--when Cartegis Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Na- lures own order. Take Carteg's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only 2bs.
