$4,000 Payroll Left in Taxi
Is Returned by Driver

Because it was not my money
and I had no right to It," Edwin
H. Lewiston, IS, cab driver of 4046
Grant street NE, yesterday re-
turned $4,000 he found in the back
seat of his taxi.
Mr.. Lewiston said he picked up
a passenger in front of the National
Metropolitan Bank, 613 Fifteenth
street NV. and soon after dis
charging his fare near a construc-
ton project at Twenty-third and
N streets NV. noticed that a back
cushion in the taxi was out of place.
Mr.. Lewiston investigated and
found the money in three packages
Of bills under the cushion. He re-
turned to the construction project
and found his former passenger
there, who identified himself only
as "Mr. Wise"
The loser dug into his own pocket
and gave Mr.. Lewiston $40, explain
ing that the money was a company
payroll and that the firm probably
would give a larger reward later.

Milk and Egg Ration Cuts
Are Forecast in Britain
BY the Associosed Press

LONDON, June 19.-Cuts in Brit
ish milk and egg rations were fore
cast in the House of Commons last
night as the Labor governments food
production policies came under
sharp attack from Conservatives.
On the heels of announcements
that there would be IS per cent
cut in the soap ration and that
bread rationing was highly probable
Tom Williams, Minister of Agricul-
ture, said a drop in egg and milk
production was inevitable. A no
ton criticizing the government pol
icy on ration cuts was defeated, 2s4
to 1877.
Mr.. Williams Conservative pre-
decessor, r. S. Hudson, estimated
the result would be cut in the av-
erage ration from eight to three eggs
a month and from 3 to ~ pints of
milk a week.
Asserting the governments "too
little too late" policy would produce
"a great breakdown in its plans, If
any" Mr.. Hudson said more supplies
could have been obtained from Ar
gentina.

COP Senators Battle
Boost in Funds for
Projects in West
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Republican Senators opened a
fight today against sharply increased
funds voted by the Senate Appro-
priations Committee for a score OF
reclamation projects in Western
States where hot senatorial con-
tests are in prospect.
AS debate swung around to that
section of the Interior Department
appropriation bill, Senator Bridges,
Republican, of New Hampshire, told
reporters he would attempt to knock
out most of the $21 1892 SAB boost the
Senate Committee made above
House-approved figures.
: Several Senators said privately
that any major construction appro-
priation was bound to undergo ex-
animation from the political view
point in a Congressional election
year.
Politics" Charged
Some ascribed to politics" part
OF the opposition which led the APP
preparations Committee yesterday to
deny s17.000000 allotment which
Secretary of Commerce Wallace
asked for census of business and
manufacturers.
Neither Republicans nor old line
Democrats worked up any enthusi-
aSm over the thought of Mr.. Wallace
hiring lot of workers and spending
SIT 100000 on business census be-
tween now and the 1913 presidential
campaign.
The question of sustaining its
committees attitude toward Mr..
Wallace's request will not come be-
fore the Senate until late this week
or early next, when it takes up a
bill carrying funds to operate the
State, Commerce and Justice De-
partments in the next fiscal year.
Bill Under Fire.
The reclamation funds under fire
in the Interior Department bill
provide appropriations for major
projects in Idaho, Montana, New
Mexico, California, Utah, Washing
ton and wyoming.
In all these States except Cali
fornia where Senator Knowland, a
Republican, is up for election, the
Republicans are out to try to pick
up seats.
All told, the bill as passed by the
House would give the Interior De-
partment only sl79 ,426, BAT, of which
$72, 271 ATS would go to the Reclama-
ton Bureau. The Senate commit
tee recommended a total of $685.
337 ,438, of which the bureau would
receive $171 ,350,845.

Congress Favoring
Proposal 10 Overhaul
Veteran Pension Plan
BY the As.oeioted Press

Proposals for overhauling the vet
Grams pension system met CO.
operative reception today on Capito
Hill.
Chairman Rankin of the House
Veterans Committee announced his
group was ready to give prompt at
tentlon to the recommendations
made by the Presidents committee
on Government medical care.
He told neWsmen, however, that
sufficient authorization already may
exist to put the proposals into effect,
which would eliminate need for new
legislation. He withheld final opin-
ion on this point.
Flaws Found In System.
The Presidents committee, head
ed by DR.. Harold w. Dodds, presi-
dent of Princeton University, stated
that the Veterans administration
medical rehabilitation program lis
we'll conceived" but added:
If the rehabilitation task is to
be adequately accomplished it is
necessary to revise some of the
present pension policies which are
based purely on monetary compen-
satlon for service connected disabil-
titles.
1T is obvious that under such a
policy the individual receives a pre-
MUM, from a monetary standpoint,
when his disability Is increased.
This presents an almost insurmount-
able psychological handicap to re-
Mobilization.
compensation for service con-
nected disabilities must include not
only pensions, but opportunities for
re-education, retraining and re-
Mobilization.
House Group for Raise.
In the meantime yesterday, the
House Veterans Committee ap-
proved a 20 per cent increase in dis
ability payments to veterans of the
last two wars. The bill also halts
the present policy of reducing pay
ments while a veteran without de-
pendents is in a hospital.
A deficiency appropriation bill
carrying $416,000,000 for the Vet
Grams Administration was sent to
the White House after the House
accepted minor Senate amend
ments. The bill also carries $92,-
100000 to defray the cost of re-
turning for burial the bodies of
servicemen who died abroad.
The Presidents committee recon-
mended that a study of the whole
veterans pension program be under
taken by the Veterans Administra-
ton.
President Truman approved the
proposed inquiry but objected to a
proposal for authorizing VA out
patient service for veterans with
nonservice connected disabilities
after treatment in veterans hos
pitfalls.

Rebuffed by Court on
Education Emphasis
By the Associated Press

TOKYO, June 19.-The prosecu-
ton in the international war crimes
trial of Hideki TOTO and 81 others
received a mild rebuff from the
court today in it's attempt to show
that the schools were used to help
lead Japan of to war.
After testimony of japanese edu-
Gator Yukitoki Takikawa, dean OF
law at Kyoto University. Tribunal
President Sir William Webb com
mented that the line of testimony
was mot very helpful to the court.
He suggested that the remaining %
witnesses on the educational phase
of the charges be thinned out.
Takikawa testified that after the
Manchurian incident military train
ing officers grasped control OF
Japan's educational system and
stepped students in contempt AND
hatred for potential enemies.
Ousted from Kyoto in 1888.
He termed the japanese form OF
education very bad" and said "it
completely omitted free thought and
liberal ideas and was devoted to
justifying Japanese aggressive war
fare in Manchuria and China"
Takikawa said he was ousted from
Kyoto in 1888 because he wrote
articles opposing the Manchurian
incident, Hitler, and prosecution of
students.
Teachers were required to spread
the doctrine that dying in combat
for the Emperor was glorious, DR..
Hyoe Ouichi, an educator once
jailed as overly liberal, testified
earlier today.
Pacifism among professors was
grounds for dismissal, Ouichi as
serted, explaining that he himself
had spent more than 18 months in
prison because of his reported SYM
pathy ito peace ideals"
Procedure Streamlined.
The tribunal moved yesterday to
streamline its judicial procedure.
Chief Justice Webb remarked Mon
day that the trial might "go on for
years" at this rate.
Over strenuous protests by the de-
Tense the court ruled that. the
prosecution may submit af1idavits
instead o. oral testimony. The de-
Tense will be allowed to cross
examine on the stand. however.
David F. Smith of Washington,
appearing for former Premier Koki
Hirota, said he wanted to take ex-
ception" to the affidavit form of
presenting testimony. but Chief
Justice Webb brusquely cut him off
with:
Take all the exceptions you like
you won't be heard any further"
TOTO Denies Demands.
TOTO denied in a statement today
that he sent Special Envoy Saburo
Kurusu to Washington in the fall of
l941 with three demands as the
price of peace.
Through his attorney, TOTO took
issue with Chief Prosecutor Joseph
B. Keenan,, who said in Washington
he had been told by Kurusu that
TOTO laid down three conditions for
the withdrawal Of troops from Indo-
China.
These were: The unfreezing of
japanese assets by the United States,
unlimited shipments of high octane
gasoline to Japan and the hating
OF all gasoline shipments to China.
II do not deny had such an idea
in mind" said statement from TOTO
given out by Attorney Ichiro Kiyoso,
who is defending the fallen dictator
at the international war crimes
trials here.
But I did not instruct Kurusu
specifically to propose such condi-
lions to America, nor did I suggest
them to him informally"
