As regards rehabilitation and hos pitalization of {he disabled veteran, always of first consideration In the Le gion’s legislative program, President Coolldge pointed out In his message: “With the authorization for general hospitalization of ti)e veterans of all wars, provided during the present year, the care and treatment of those who have served their country in time of peril and the attitude of the gov ernment toward them is not now so much one of needed legislation as one of careful, generous and humane ad ministration. It will ever be recognized that their welfare is of the first con cern and always entitled to the most solicitous consideration on the part of their fellow-citizens.” During the past year the Legion urged and secured the passage of the World war veterans’ act, the most comprehensive legislation yet passed for the benefit of the disabled veteran. President Coolldge summed up his ap proval of the Legion’s program for this session by recommending: “With many of the proposals I Join In hearty approval and commend them all to the sympathetic Investigation and consid eration of the congress.’’ Bodenhamer /s Slated for Chairmanehip Job O. L. Bodenhamer, former com mander of the Arkansas department of the American Legion, Is slated for national chairman of the Ameri can Legion legislature committee, one of the most important committees in the national organization. Announce ment of the tentative appointments, pending final approval of the national executive committee, has been made by National Commander James A. Drain. Mr. -Bodenhumer's appoint ment is a distinct compliment to his leadership ability. He served as a inpmber of the national, legislative committee last year, and was national chairman of resolutions at the St. * Paul convention. ’ He served as chair man of the ex service men and wom en delegates at the national Demo cratic convention.

Among the more important meas ures that will be proposed by the Le gion and pressed for passage during the present short session of congress are: Universal service act for conscrip tion of men, money and materials in case of war; technical amendments to the adjusted compensation hill which would make it possible for benefici aries to allot compensation to patr^_ c . wor( , placed in the mail by otic organizations chartered by con 600,000 TO RECEIVE CHECKS $750,CCO,0:i !N CONUS WAILED TO ' EX-SERVICE MEN T<) START ~ NEW YEA’i.

Promptly as the new year began more than 250 sacks of mail were moved from the bureau to the railroad station. Under the law the certificates were not to be issued before January 1. By arrangement with the post off eo department, a postal branch was established at the bureau and as each certificate was comph ted it was ad dressed, stamped and Ut ■ stamp can- dressed, stamped and the stamp cun'Y celled ready for the train. The 30,000 checks for amounts of $50 or less, representing the cash payment for soldiers who served only a short period, have been prepared at the bureau, hut (best* under the law are not to he mailed out until March 1. In mailing the insurance certificates, the only preference made was to those veterans who have died since apply ing for the bonus. These total not more than 700 and beneficiaries of these soldiers may receive payment immediately. The t ertificates, properly indorsed, together with proof of death of the soldier, must be returned to the veterans bureau before payment is made. Payments on any other cer tificates are not to Jae made before March 1’ To date the war department has re ceived 2.01:0,000 application:; for ad justed service certificates, with an average of 12 000.000 applications for adjusted service certificates with an average of 12,00) arriving daily. More than -lOO.OOO applications were return ed to veteran; because they lacke 1 signatures, finger prints or other ne cessary data.

Mr. CooJidgc has not studied any | draft of Senator Borah's proposed reso- 1 ution directing the President to call an economic and armament conference j but on the lias's of preliminary descrip tion of the resolution is inclined to re gard it as too broad in scope to be j practical. The host results from a Conference 1 to limit further competitive arma-1 moot, the President hold, would arise j from a conference of limited scope.) The question of economic conditions j s too broad in its general application! to be ."ue.cfssfully considered at an in-j teroational meeting, the President be hoves and therefore any meeting to discuss matters of an economic nature WORLD’S COTTON SUPPLY LARGEST IN NINE YEARS. ! Washington.—The world's cotton supply tWs year is probably the largest in nine years, totalling ap proximately 23,300,000 bales of 4i9 pounds each, estimates received by the department of agriculture show. The estimates are from countries wdvieii produce about 05 per cent o f the world crop and which last year produced 19,300,000 bales. The five year average for the pre-war per iod was 23,580,000 bales. The American supply, based on of ficial production figures and trade estimates of carry over cotton, is placed at 16,000,000 bales. Consumption in the United States for the four months ending Novem ber 30 was 1.818,000 running bales of lint cotton, c ompared with 2,- 054000 for_the^&ame period in 1923. The decrease, however, is more than offset, the department said, by increased exports. NEW OUST SIX POSTAL OFFICIALS EIGHT PERSONS LOSE JOBS FOR ALLEGED EFFORTS TO IN FLUENCE CONGRESS.
