The press continued it's junket in relays of DC-3's next morning but the first direct service between New York and =Buenos Aires had begged down in a morass Of misunderstand- ing and bureaucratic red tape.
 Many observers believe the whole mess was part of the battle for in ternational air routes and that Pan An-long a virtual monopoly in the routes it pioneered and built up all over Latin Ameriea-is now faced With cut-throat competition from Argentine and Brazilian national air lines which want reciprocal land ing privileges in the U. s. Such re- ciprocity seems on the surface fair deal for all, if you overlook the fact that a South American plane land ing in the U. s, will get weather, radio, hangar, crash protection, gasoline, service and other facilities provided as a matter of course, whereas in South America, Pan Am has had to build it's airportS, term inals, weather stations and radio beacons, provides it's own service, and gets gas only under protest.

.O'NeoI to Head
 Election Probe Group in House

Washington. Aug. -(UP)- Speaker Sam Rayburn, ignoring the wishes of a bloc of Southern Demo- crats, today appointed Rep. Emmett O'Neal, (D.-Ky) as chairman ot the House Committee to Investi- gate Campaign Expenditures and Contributions.
 The southerners favored Rep James Domengeaux, (D-LaD, who reportedly was eager to undertake first an investigation of the CIO $ Political Action Committee The CIO.-P.AC. is opposing some of the southern Congressmen who had urged Rayburn to make the Louisi- anian chairman.
 Other members of the commit tee, which is revived every two years to examine congressional campaign expenditures. will be Reps. Percy Priest, CD.- -Tenn0 i; John E. Fogarty, D.-R. I); Leo T. Allen, (R.-Ill9 and Carl T. Cur tis, R.-Neb).
 Rayburn upset House precedent with his selection of ONeal. Nor mally the Representative who in- troduceS the resolution-in this case Domengeaux- ux-establishing a House committee becomes it's chairman.

Washington, Aug. 7- tNEA) - President Truman's economy order to Gen. Omar N. Bradley. Admin istrator of Veterans Affairs to tighten the standards on veter- ans pnesions and readjustment benefits is causing considerable wrath among veterans and veterans organizations.
 Truman's order to Bradley is re- vealed in his Review of The 1947 Budget, in which the President ex- plains his attempts to cut Govern ment costs and bring the U. s. Budget closer to a balance.
 The order comes on the heels of the 79th Congress appropriating a record S10.000 100000 to veterans for the fiscal year 1946-47. President Truman has said several times he thought Congress was spending too much money.
 Regarding pensions, the Presi- dents statement says:
 "In view of the rapidly mount ing payments for veterans pensions and benefits, the Administrator of Veterans Affairs has been asked to review and tighten certain standards for such payments in order to pro- tect both the rights of deserving veterans and the national pocket book"
 In response to this statement, General Bradley says that changing the standards for pensions for vet erans is so vital to the public in- terest that it shouldn't be done by Veterans Administration, He said if it is done, an independent public committee should handle it. i Veterans organizations are afraid the Presidents order marks the start of a return to the old Economy Act of 1883 which slashed all vet erans benefits.
 George E. Hams, Director of Rehabilitation for the Veterans of Foreign Wars and longtime off, city of Veterans Administration, says that economy should start in Veterans Administration itself and not by cutting benefits to veterans. He says VA is over expanded now. He claims VA has too large a public relations staff and is attempting to render too much social service to veterans which is best handled by veterans organizations. He says the VFW is strongly behind more eco nomy in Government but the veter an shouldn't be made to suffer.
 VA Grows Bigger
 Veterans Administratipn is rapid ly becoming one of the largest Government agencies. A year ago it had 50,000 employees Today it has more than 150000 and by the end of the year VA officials hope to hame 250,0o0 persons on the pay roll
 Jack W. Hardy. National Com- mander of Amvets. says the same thing;
 If there is going to be any economy in the veteran program, it should come first in Veterans Administration itself and not with

Vet 'On-the-Job'
 Training Probed

Washington, Aug. 7-(UP)-At- torney General Tom c. Clark today ordered study of charges by Vet erans Administrator Omar N Brad ley that the veterans on-the-job training program threatens a na- tional scandal involving millions in federal funds.
 A Justice Department spokesman said the study would be made by the criminal division. James Ruff fin, attorney in the criminal divi- sion, already has begun talks with various officials of the Veterans Ad- miniStration.

USE ANCIENT BRICKS

London CUP)-London historic Middle Temple, victim Of the blitz, is being restored, and because of the brick shortage, builders are re- using bricks, some of which sur- vived the great fire of 1866.
 These ancient bricks are being used to build a temporary library in Brick Court, where Blackstone, writing his Commentaries, was bothered by the noise coming from Oliver Goldsmith's chambers above. The oldest Middle Temple building at the gate where Francis Bacon and other barriSters welcomed Queen Elizabeth in 1883, was found to be sagging and is being repaired also

the veterans. A study could be made of overlapping functions and waste in VA very proftably.'
 An irate former CT expressed his opinion on the matter of tightening up on veterans pensions
 They should have done their tightening up on Government spending during the war with all those phony cost-plus contractors instead of tightening up on us af- ter 1t is over"
 Says Pension Vital
 An American Legion official said it was easier to talk about tighten ing standards for pensions for vets than doing it in individual cases. He said that in most cases the slight increase in a pension might mean the difference between keep ing family together He said a pension is a vital part of an income of thousands of needy veterans.
 General Bradley and the veterans organizations are willing to go along with the President, however, in his request that the on-the-job training be frightened.
 Bradley says that this program has reached such point that VA has to reconsider 1t and possibly make some changes.
 The weakness of the program lies in the States control of it. VA just foots the bill. Many instances have been discovered where this program has merely been used to supplement a company's payroll.
 The President says VA "can bring considerable economies" by investi- gating this practice.

 Initiated by Bards

Mountain Ash, Wales, Aug. ' - (UP) - Princess Elizabeth yester- day was formally initiated into the Sacred Circle of the Bards of Wales in colorful hillside ceremony 20 miles from Cardiff.
 Thousands of spectators viewed the ceremony.
 The bards represent men and wo- men nationally famed in the arts and the ceremony stems from those of the Druids.
 The 40-minute ritual was con- ducted in the Welsh language.
