I'm Here 10 Learn,
Asserts SaIstonstall,
Bay State Senator

I'm junior Senator, and I'm
here to learn" was the way Sena-
tor Saltonstall, popular new Repub-
hcan lawmaker from Massachusetts,,
greeted the questions Of newspaper
men on q variety of subjects at his
first press conference here yesterday.
The tall New Highlander, who has
been assigned to the District COM
mittee, applied this answer to local
as well rs national questions. His
lean, pleasant face wreathed In a
friendly smile, Senator Saltonstall
said %all he had learned about local
conditions on his first day In the
Capital was that ats hard to get a
taxicab.'
Asked how he felt about granting
suffrage to Washingtonians, he re-
piled: "On all these things am here
to learn"
Believe 1t or not, he Is one new
member OF Congress who faced no
housing problem as he arrived. He
explained that Mrs. Saltonstall had
come here some time ago to visit
their daughter Emily, who is on duty
here as a radionan, second class, in
the WAVES, and that they had To-
Gated q home.
The Senator said he came here
with only one obligation, made dur
ing the recent campaign and pre-
viously while he was Governor
namely, ito do my part to win the
war as rapidly Is possible"
!. IF this Nation has the will to CO.
operate with other nations, well find
the way" he added.
Senator Saltonstall's victory last
November attracted Nation wide at
tention because he piled up an plu-
rality of SCI, $50 votes while Presi-
dent Roosevelt was carrying the Bay
State by 114,OO0.

Liobi|ityfor Previous Injuries
Held Bar to Disabled Veterans

An Appeals Court decision hold
ing an employer liable for: total dis
ability payments for a workman
partially disabled before entering
his employ was cited today by vet
eran oficials as proof of the need for
legislation to protect disabled vet
Grams.
With Chief Justice D. Lawrence
Groner dissenting, the United States
Court of Appeals ruled that q work.
man had right to receive total dis
ability from his employer for an
injury which in itself would not
have totally disabled him but which,
in connection with previous injuries
for which the employer was not re-
sponsible, did have totally dis
abling effect.
Millard Rice, national service di-
rector Of Disabled American Vet
erans. said the decision gave
strength to the fear Of employers
that they would have to pay q
greater amount of workmen's COM
pensation to disabled veterans in
curing q second disability in their
employ.
Bin to Be Offered Again.
To meet this fear and insure that
1t does not operate against the en-
ployment of disabled veterans, he
said, legislation was introduced at
the last session of Congress and
will be reintroduced within a week
providing that the Veterans Ad-
ministration should reimburse m
employer, his insurance company OF
the State workmen's compensation
fund on all payments to veterans
with service-connected disabilities
or to their next of kin, in line with
the operations of State workmen's
compensation acts.
When the bill was introduced last
session by Chairman Rankin Of the
House Veterans Committee, Mr.. Rice
said, it was opposed by Brig. Gen
Frank T. Hines, administrator Of
veterans affairs, who felt employ
ers could be educated to hire dis
abled veterans.

day by. United States Commissioner

under the Lindbergh law, with kid
Grace Wadlington, 14-year-
old East Falls Church schoolgirl,
who was used as . shield when the

K streets NV. by bureau agents
The FBI. however, declined to dis

FBI agents last night to examine
the autos.
Shortly after Federal warrants
had been issued FBI agents filed
a detainer for Shelton with Arling-
ton County Commonwealth's Attor-
ney Lawrence Douglas. Mr.. Douglas
said the detainer was simply notice
that Federal authorities want Shell
ton after county authorities have

Filling Station Priority
System Urged 10 Aid
Must Gasoline Users

A system Of priorities in the dis
tribution of gasoline to service sta
tions here has been suggested to
the Senate District Committee
which is expected shortly to look
into Washington's recent gasoline
shortage.
Roshan w. Dyar, acting secretary
Of the American Cab Association,
in a memorandum to Chairman
Bilbo and District OPA Director
Robert K. Thompson, made this
suggestion:
The simple solution would be to
deliver first to stations serving only
holders Of T coupons, and author
izing those stations to serve holders
Of other coupons whose cars bore
tags registered in the names of doc
tors and other persons Of impor-
tance. In this manner all parties
concerned would know where and
when to get gas for the essential
work. To date, no authority has
wanted to take this responsibility. -
The test Of any rationing admins
tration, he added, Is its effective
ness in distributing essential supplies
as they reach the disappearing point.
The present system Of limiting cars
to a one-unit purchase and then II
the tank is less than . quarter filled
has resulted in the waste Of between
5000 and 10000 gallons q day by
taxicabs searching for supplies, Mr..
Dyar claimed.
Further evidence that the fuel
famine had ended here was seen in
an American Automobile Association
report that since Sunday 1t had re-
ceiyed very few" calls from motor
lists unable to locate supply. Many
stations that have not been open for
weeks were back In business today.
The Petroleum Administration for
War estimates that the Washington
area will receive 1856. .766 gallons
this month, compared with 13.O80.-
732 gallons said to have been de-
uYered In December.

larger employers were no problem,
but that small employers were re-
luctant to take the risk of increas-
ing their workmen's compensation
costs by hiring disabled veterans.
In its ruling, the appellate court
affirmed District Court decision,
which upheld Theodore Britton,
deputy commissioner, District Of CO.
lumbia compensation district, United
States Compensation Commission,
who had made the award to Frank
Tyler, colored, former elevator oper-
ator for the National Homeopathic
Hospital Association. The lower
court had dismissed a complaint
against Mr.. Britton by the associa-
ton and the Aetna Casualty &
Surety Co., through which the asso-
ciation was insured.
Lost Leg and Arm.
Facts In the case, according to the
records, were that as . child Mr..
Tyier's left leg had been amputated
below the knee as q result of being
run over by a train. Then, many
years ago, his left arm had been
amputated as a result of receiving
a blow on it.
Furthermore, according to the
records, Mr.. Tyler suffered 4 frac-
ture of the right knee cap in . fall
while not working. Subsequently
while working for the hospital asso-
citation, he suffered another frac-
ture Of the same knee cap. The
deputy compensation commissioner
thereafter awarded permanent tota
disability based upon Mr.. Tyler,
earning capacity at the time Of tn,
fall while working for the associa.
ton.
The hospital. association and thu
insurance company, however, con.
tended the award should have beer
for only permanent partial disability
in line with the injury suffered dur.
ing his most recent employment
They contended that payments tt
him beyond partial permanent dis.
ability should be from q special FUND
set up by Congress.
The majority opinion was written
by Justice Henry w. Edgerton anc

argued, because the exercise OF
authority by the American repre-
sentative on the Security Council
needs to be clearly established and
bounded by law 1t Is necessary
