In Compensation for
Manned Veterans
BY the Associofed Press

The Senate yesterday passed a
House bill increasing the special
compensation provided for the
most severely disabled veterans,
such as those who have lost a
hand or a. foot or who are blind.
The higher rates voted by the

lis estimated to cost $40, 0,764. 900 in
the fiscal year starting July
compared to $24, $50 900 under the
House measure. Some 119, 900 vet
IeranS are affected.
At present a special monthly
compensation Of $42 is provided
for certain kinds of disability. in
addition to basic compensation.
The Senate bill would increase
this to SAT compared to $50 under
the House bill.
The rates increase wit hthe Sc
vereness of the disability, and the
Legislation would boost from $500
to $400 the maximum amount that
could be drawn by a veteran with
out dependents.
The bill applies to veterans
of the Spanish h-American War,
World Wars I and II and the Ko-
rean War.
In addition to increasing rates
of compensation, the bill also
would authorize for the first time
"a minimum monthly rate for ar
rested tuberculosis for World War
II and Korean veterans.
1t also provides an additional
allowance for the loss or loss of
use of a creative organ-benef1ts
now available only to World War
I veterans.

Daylight Saving Time
For Area Assured

Daylight saving beginning Sum-
day, April 81, was virtually as
lsured today for Washington and
vicinity.
Legislation authorizing the Dis
trict Commissioners to make the
time change in the city this year
received final approval yesterday
by Congress and was sent to the
President. He is expected to sign
the bill.
Nearby Virginia and Maryland
are expected to order their clocks

day, as they have each summer in
the past.
The legislation followed the
same controversial course it has
taken for several years. The
Senate first approved permanent
authority for the city heads to put
daylight time into effect every
year. The House after opposition
from farm bloc members cut the
permanent authority to one year
only.
Final action came on the Senate
hoor yesterday. Chairman Neely
OF the Senate District Committee
reluctantly" asked the Senate to
agree to the House amendments.
The Senate did so. and sent the
bill to the President.

plight of the Districts institutions
for children has been called for
tomorrow by United Community
Services.
Leaders Of women's, civic, church
and business groups have been
invited to attend. Many already
have agreed to be on hand. Pur-
pose OF the meeting is to organize
community support behind these
goals:
First, to persuade the Senate to
restore the $260,000 cut from the
welfare budget by the House.
Second, to urge the Senate to
include an $4,000 fund to plan
new facilities for the National
Training School for Girls.
Meeting Set Tomorrow.
The meeting has been called for
10 am. tomorrow in the penthouse
of the YWCA, Seventeenth and K
streets NV.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea will tell the session what the
budget cuts will mean to the al
ready overcrowded children's in
Istitutions. At meeting of the
Board of Public Welfare last week,
he emphasized that children will
be hit hardest if the $3.50, 900 is not
restored.
1--WE must cope with both the
present and the future" said Rus
Isell w. Schneider, chairman of the
|UGS Public Welfare Committee.
He referred to statements made
lat last weeks welfare meeting
that the $4,000 is needed to start
planning for a new institution
while the $260,OO0 is essential to
carry on the present operations
|of the institutions.
Not Meeting Responsibility.
1--WE believe" said Mr.. Schnei-
der, that the rock bottom needs,
as stated clearly by the Board of
Public Welfare, should be taken
|at face value, so this community
can avoid the charge of disgrace
full conditions in public institu-
tions and in the administration
of public assistance.
"The point is that planning
money is important, of course, but
unless we can operate institutions
already in existence, there is little
to be gained in planning for more.
The brutal fact is we are not now
meeting our full responsibility to
our destitute"
Leaders at the meeting will be
urged to testify at the forthcom-
ing Senate Appropriations Com
mittee hearings. They start Mon
day.
Members Of the welfare board
have been invited to present their
case to the meeting. Among
groups which have accepted tele-
graphed invitations are the League

Georgetown Rats Routed Cats,
Woman Recalls in Zoninq Talk

A Georgetown home -owner, ir
her efforts to score a point with
the District zoning Commission

ory of the days when Georgetown
rats were cocky enough to dismay
Tennessee cats, not to say human
residents.
Mrs. Helen McCauley, of 2714
Olive avenue NV. one of George
towns garden home" areas, hao
the floor.
AS owner of four homes in the
Ithree-block Olive avenue develop
ment, Mrs. McCauley said she al
ways had an interest in the place
She told how she hired extermina-
tors to work on the rat problem
in homes other than her own,
even.
Finally, about four years ago,
her husband went down to Ten
InesSee and came back with two
"big, black Tennessee cats to get
after those big, fat, sleek rats"
The result: 1.-THE cats would
walk across the lawn, and the rats
there wouldn't even bulge. The
cats disappeared - they were
routed"
Mrs. McCauley determined then
to get paid exterminators to work
in earnest, and the rat problem
finally was licked.
"Out in Georgetown even to-
day." she explained with a nervous
laugh. I'VE don't like to mention
rats"
Mrs. McCauley and several other

approval of such rides came only
after involved procedure.
At hearings before a Senate

February, just made public, M. A
Stephens, FSA budget officer, pre-.
sented a study in the agency, in
dicating that the cost per passen.
ger trip in a Government-owned
chauffeur driven car was $3.50.
The average cost of a taxicat
for the same trip would have beer
so cents, it showed.
A subsequent study in the Public
Health Service alone, it was re-
ported. indicated the cost per trir
in a Government car was 1921
as compared with go cents for g
taxicab. Both studies were made
before the recent pay increase, il
was noted.
It was pointed out that a Fed
eral Security official could make a
trip to the Budget Bureau for 4C
cents in a taxicab, but it would
cost about 1920 if he went in an
