Complaints Cited.
Here are some of the things cited
by the report as responsible for
"an increasing number of COM
plants" from veterans:
l. Letters of inquiry and requests
for action "are invariably ignored"
from the viewpoint of the veteran
because he has to wait for weeks
or months for a reply.
2. Delays frequently result In over

S. No policies have been issued.
s. Applications for conversion from
term to one of the permanent forms
of insurance are unacknowledged
and pile up serious backlogs.
7. Settlements of death and dis

lays which frequently cause hard

NAKED today by an auction attended
by an estimated 5000 persons and
netting more than $4,000.
More than 500 items were sold
to the highest bidders for a gross

hours, ended in darkness and was
dampened but not halted by
shower.
Included in the sale were two new

electric refrigerator, % tons of coal
and fertilizer, clothing, furniture,

Cox to Consider Problem.
Gen. Cox said he planned to
take up the problem "as soon as
the question of financial control is
Strengthened out"
There apparently has been no
definite provision made for parking
other than at the paved plaza st
the north side of the building, at
Nineteenth and East Capitol
streets. Gen. Cox said he felt, how
ever, that there is adequate un-
used space near the structure that
could easily be converted for park
ing-regardless of what the need
turns out to be.
Thomas S. Settle, secretary of the
National Park and Planning Com
mission, pointed out that the Fed
eral government took over the arm
ory soon after it was completed in
April, 194l, and that parking space
was one of the problems that has
never been taken up again"
The armory is built on the south
ern extremity of a 140-acre tract of
the proposed National Sports Center,
which will extend north and east
from the armory to the Anacostia
River. The commission took an in
terest in the armory because its
drill hall would fit in so we'll with
the plan of the center for indoor
sports, Mr., Settle said.
Parking Area Suggested.
He said he though the easiest
space to develop for parking would
be an area Immediately east of the
armory. Free of buildings, but
heavily weeded, the land either could
be transferred to the District, he
said, or developed as a parking ia
cility by the National Capital Parks.
While testifying on the 1910 Dis
trict appropriations bill, Mr.. Settle
said: The 140-acre tract on which
the armory is to be built is ample
space for parking" He added last
night that, as he remembered it,
however, there wasn't very much
said about parking at the time
Temporary Government buildings
just east of the armory parking plaza
put those areas under the jurisdic-
ton of Public Buildings Administra-
ton guards, further complicating the
situation, police said.
Bill Is Pending.
The Commissioners have pending
in Congress bill designed to give
them control over whatever land
is necessary in the vicinity of the
armory for parking and drill field
purposes, but Gen. Cox indicated
he would push for an earlier solu-
ton.
Meanwhile, Gen. Cox crucial

Early Dividend Payments Doubtful.

soon will receive the much-pub-
licized policy dividends, to be paid
from a huge insurance surplus fund.
Questions to Mr.. Breining by a
committee member on the matter of
dividends and issuance of perma-
nent policies brought these replies:

Gen. Cox said the meeting to-

that any future contracts would be

The Commissioners branded as
completely Illegal the home build
ers' contract, which was signed for
the guard by a Headquarters De-
tachment Association-an enlisted
mems benefit group. The rental
money, Gen. Cox said, would be
applied to purchase of athletic
