frontier:
1t was announced at the conclu-

were being submitted to the gov

France, the United Kingdom and
the Benelux countries for bringing

The six governments, taking into
account the unforeseen delays to

proceed to a preliminary examina-
ton of the problem of frontiers and
to put into effect the minor adjust

necessities and by conditions affect

New Pension Measure
Places House Back
0n-Merry-Go-Round
BY the Assoeioted Press

The House was back on the
veterans pension merry round
today.
Representative Rankin, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi returned to
the controls yesterday to intro
duce a limited pension bill for
veterans of World War I.
Only Thursday. after the House
buried his multi billion dollar
pension bill for all World War I
and II servicemen. Mr.. Rankin
had said no pension legislation
could pass at this session.
But just a day later he bounced
back with his new proposal, in
troduced, he said, "by request"
He said the American Legion and
many members" of the House
Veterans Committee. of which he
is chairman, had urged the new
bill.
OF its prospects, Mr.. Rankin
declared: I'm making no pre-
dictions."
The bill is limited to the ap-
proximately 3,500,000 veterans of
World War I, and provides for
pensions of $72 at age IS, for
veterans whose income falls be-
low a certain point. 1t also pro-
hibits "pyramiding" of benefits
from other sources, and confines
pensions to honorably discharged
veterans.
Most of these provisions were
tackled onto Mr.. Rankin's first
bill during the battering it took on
the House floor.
Mr.. Rankin said he thought the
changes would greatly reduce the
cost from the tentative figure of
$125. .000,000,000 set on the old
bill
The move brought mixed reac-
ton from those who fought him
earlier this week.
Representative league, Demo-
crat, of Texas, who had poised
the axe over the first bill, observed
that most of what the new bill
offers ALREADY is in existing law"
He referred to statutory regu-
lations of the Veterans Admins
t1ation which make available dis
ability and unemployment benefits
to needy veterans.
At present, a 55-year- old vet
eran with so per cent disability or
a 60-year-o veteran with so per
cent disability is entitled to $50
a month if unemployable. AT age
IS, and with only 10 per cent dis
ability. he is entitled to $72 a
month.
Representative Kearney, Re-
publican, of New York. member
of the Veterans Committee,
termed the new bill a fair ap-
proach' to the problem but added
that it needs careful attention
and extended hearings"
Representative Huber, Demo-
crat, of Ohio, another committee
member, likewise announced he
intends to Insist on full and fair
hearings" Mr.. Huber was one of
seven members who stalked out
of committee after condemning
what they called the chairman's
high handed tactics in jamming
through the first bill.
Representative Carroll, Demo-
crat, of Colorado, who led the
floor fight on the Rankin bill.
said Mr.. Rankin was to be COM
mended" for keeping the pension
issue before Congress. 1T gives
us chance to consider it intelli-
gently" he declared
