Hosiery Leader Sees

the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press,
NEW YORK, Oct. 1l.-ReaSonable
quantities of nylon hosiery should
begin to appear in stores about two
weeks from now, Earl Constantine,
president of the National Association
of Hosiery Manufacturers, says.
From that point on, supplies
should increase gradually, he told
the fall conference of the National
Retail Dry Goods Association mer-
chandising division
Mr.. Constantine warned stores
probably would have to allot nylons
for some time to come.
About % million dozen would
seem to be the maximum you can
expect during 1896" he said, adding
that an annual production of Is
million dozen pairs would mean only
eight pairs per woman.
Ben Bowe, manager of DEPART
ment store sales for General Electric
Co., told the conference electric
appliance supplies should be ade-
quate to meet demand by the second
quarter of next year.

Pensions Of Disabled
Cut Living Standards,
|DAv Counsel Says
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Disabled veterans. unable to live
suitably on their Government al
lowances, are beginning to wonder
what they fought for" Millard Rice,
legislative counsel of the Disabled
American Veterans, told a Senate
subcommittee today
They've won thes war but lost
their health and their standard of
living" Mr. Rice said.
He told the Finance Subcommit-
tee on Veterans Legislation that "it
must be ironic for men to go out
and fight for the democratic way
of life and then find they are un-
able to hold jobs and are not given
enough to maintain an adequate
standard of living for themselves
and their families"
Many Families Curtailed.
Mr.. Rice pointed out that Sis a
month was the maximum a totally
disabled veteran could receive unless
by reason of certain aggravated in
juries he got an additional statutory
award. In certain cases, he con-
ceded, veteran could get up to
$500 month, but these cases, he
added, were extremely rare.
He said the situation was forcing
many disabled men to remain bach
elors and requiring those already
married to refrain from having chill
dren because of their meager COM
penSation.
Mr.. Rice urged that the allowance
allotted veterans while taking voca-
tional training under the CT Bill
Of Rights be increased from S92 a
month to at least S115, with in
creased income allotted married
man and an added allowance for
each child.
DAV Forced to Aid Trainees.
! He said the DAV had been forced
to provide s35 month for each vet
eran taking veterans service officer
course under its sponsorship at
American University. He explained
that the DAV had appropriated this
money out of its own funds because
the veterans could not live on s92 a
month while at school.
/ He said a bill introduced by the
subcommittee ] chairman, Senator
johnson, Democrat, of Colorado had
the support of the DAV and he hoped
lit would be pressed This measure

Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
Ut. Col. Robert s.. Alien now on acti'
service with the Army

WASHINGTON - Watching our
diplomatic relations closeup, both
in San Francisco and Washington,
leads to the unmistakable conclu-
sion that the most important prob
lem this country faces-more i'm
portant than any domestic or war
problems our relations with
Russia
Russia is now on the road to
becoming the most powerful ma
ton in Europe and Asia, and there
is nothing we can do to prevent
it. Half a billion Chinese, plus one
third billion Indians, restless under
British rule, are certain to gravi-
tate to Russia also the middle
European countries of Czechoslo-
yakia, Austria, Poland and the
Balkans.
The United States, meanwhile, is
bound to become the rallying ma
ton for western civilization-Great
Britain, Latin America, France,
Holland, the Scandinavian coun-
tries.
There will be two powerful blocks.
The question is: Will they DRIFT
into war 10 or 20 years from now?
If the toboggan once starts, no
power on earth can prevent war
The time to stop it is now. And
already our relations with Russia
have reached the low level of diplo-
matte nose-thumbing and caustlc
note writing which augurs Ill for
the future.
No peace machinery constructed
at San Francisco can stop TINS
toboggan once it starts. The paste
theory of the San Francisco Con-
ference is that big nations shall be
free to do what they please No
real machinery is even conem-
plated to stop the war betweefi big
nations-except their own common
sense. And already the big r lions
at San Francisco have shown
themselves unable to settle their
own disputes.
With this alarming situation IN
mind, this columnist proposes to
diagnose the entire tangled skein
of our Russian relations. Some OF

under which Alaskans serving in

not given overseas credit under

He termed the ruling "a mani

points be given overseas credit
These areas, he commended, were as
much Overseas" for Alaskans as
for any other service men.
After ALL" he said, "Alaskans
are serving in the only part OF the

gested the 154th Meridian be the

those living west of it gaining over
