Regular Army Officers
Favored on Disability,
Observation-Disclosures
BY ths Assoeioted Press

Representative Elston, Republi-
can, of Ohio said today he is con-
vinced the armed forces are too gen.
erous with tax-free disability pay to
retired regular officers.
Mr.. Elston is chairman of a House
Armed Services subcommittee
which is investigating the Army
Navy retirement system.
"It is quite apparent" he told a
reporter, that they have been ply
ing double standard as regards
regular and non-regular officers.
Now we are going to get down to
cases on what they have done and
how they do it. We are going to
bring in some non-regular officers
and hear from them"
Hearings Reopen Feb. 16.
The subcommittee has been
studying the service retirement sys-
TENS almost year. It's first week
of hearings closed yesterday. They
will reopen February Is.
Some former admirals and gen.
erals drawing taX-free disability
pay are earning over $4,000 a year
as civilians. Mr. Elston said, and
one ex-admiral is making s125,000.
Maj. Gen. John E. Dahlquist, the
Army's deputy personnel director.
told the committee yesterday the
Army is merely following laws
passed by Congress. He said it
does not like the system, and has
tried for years to get it changed.
Same Treatment Sought.
Gen. Dahlquist recommended that
officers and enlisted men be treated
the same when disabled in service
Disabled enlisted men now receive
pay according to the percentage
OF disability 1t stops when the
disability disappears.
Officers receive IS per cent of
the pay for the rank at which they
retired, and they get it for life.
The Army gives what Mr.. Elston
calls fluff promotions" of one grade
to many officers, including the dis
abled, as they leave the service.
The Navy does not give them to
men granted disability pay.
Since 1910 the Army says it has
had 10000 officers and has re-
tired 23,842 of them for disabilities
The Navy cures are 335,054 and s.

been less than a score of unusual
seasons or abnormal weather in
over one hundred years.
'The earliest records available is
1880. In February of that year the
weather was very severe. Snow was
five to six feet deep in this section
and streams were all frozen almost
solid and remaining so for several
weeks resulting in great loss of life
to all kinds of stock and fowls which
died by the scores due to the intense
cold and lack of food.
This was shortly after the first
settlement in Noble, Monroe and
Washington counties. Now my pur-
pose is to give data only for what
was considered abnormal years.
Nearly normal weather prevailed
until 1913 when mild January is
reported but February was severe
again with readings as low as 40 de-
grees below zero resulting in more
loss to stock and fowl Settlers left
their fireside only long enough to
care for their stock.
''The year 1900 was very cold with
two to four feet of snow This, too,
was in February but did not result
in SO much loss to stock as previous
cold winters. An early spring that
year enabled the farmers to have
corn planted by the 14th of April.
Peach trees were in full bloom by
the middle of April and apples by
the first Of May. Crops were unus-

the peace or in some cases the post
master was selected.
BLANK reports were sent out the
last of each month for those repre-
sentatives. This report was for last
month and, of course, was a month
late However, at the end of the
year, this information was valuable
to the agriculture department as to
the number and kind of livestock
and conditions of same, also number
of acres under cultivation, kind of
crops, pasture land, condition of
same, etc. I am not sure just when
this system was discontinued but
was sometime around 1900 when
the telephone and radio came into
general use. Then the weather bu-

which is a great boon to the farmers
and everyone in general. My father,
the late George, or Squire Crum as
he was usually called was reporter
or representative for this part of
Noble county, the southeast part. l
assisted him in making those re-
ports for several years.
Having this experience with
weather and crop statistics and ac-

accurate.
