Communist Threat
i Is Political
!Not Military
(By Don Whilohoad)
WASHINGTON, (/P) —James P.
P. Warburg, former New York
banker and writer on internation
al affairs, said at the Senate’s At
lantic pact hearings yesterday that
the real threat from Russia is po
llitical and not military.
“There* has been and is a very
definite Soviet threat to peace,” he
said. “But this Soviet threat has
been and still is primarily a threat
of communist penetration, of sub
version and only secondarily a
threat of military conquest.”
The foreign relations commit
tee heard Warburg as the first
witness on a speed-up schedule
leaders have mapped out with the
aim of getting Senate approval by
July 1 of both the pact and a
$1,300,000,000 arms - for - Europe
program.
This stepped up schedule was
arranged after a conference by
secretary of state Acheson with
Senators Connally (D.-Tex.) and
Vandenberg (R.-Mich.)
The pact would pledge the
United States, Canada and 10
Western European nations to mu
tual aid in opposing aggression.
I Signed here . April 4, it will be
come binding on the United States
only when approved by a two
thirds Senate vote.
DAV Cautions
War I Disabled
World War I disabled veterans
were urged by the Disabled Amer
ican Veterans to proceed with cau
tion before reopening their Veter
ans Administration claims cases
because the rating schedule now
in effect will in most cases lower
the veteran’s rating.
The DAV advised veterans to
consult the nearest DAV National
Service Officer for advice and as
sistance.
Many World War I veterans
who have established a claim for
i disability often wish to submit ad
ditional evidence or reopen their
cases for higher ratings.
However, World War I veterans,
the DAV points out, are rated for
disabilities under the 1925 rating
schedule which is based on the
impairment to the individual
claimant in relation to his prewar !
occupation.
For example under the 1925
schedule a professional athlete j
who lost a foot in combat receives
a higher disability rating than an
artist who suffered the same in
jury.
If a World War I veteran re
opens his case the 1945 rating
schedul^ will be applied. The new
est schedule is figured on the basis
of average impairment of men en
gaged in all occupations.
A World War I veteran receiv
ing disability compensation under
the 1925 schedule is protected
from any reduction of that rating
unless his case is reopened.

Cashier Steals
Over 20*Yr. Period
SEATTLE, (/P) — A 56-year-old
bank cashier with a fondness for
horse racing and trap shooting
confessed last night, the federal
bureau of investigation said, to
misappropriating $34,994.65.
J. B. Wilcox, FBI special agent
in charge, reported Ross Ells
worth Worley of Bothell admitted
taking the money over a 20-year
period from the Bothell State
bank.
Worley was charged with viola
tion of the federal reserve act,
specifically for making false en
tries in the accounts of the bank.
Arraigned before U. S. commis
sioner John Burns, he was re
leased on $2,000 cash bond.
After his arrest, Worley told
FBI investigators:
“This has been praying on my
mind for years, I am certainly re
lieved now that it’s all over.”
Wilcox said Worley took small
sums of money after deposits were
madq by patrons of the independ
ent bank. Then, Wilcox said, he
juggled bank accounts in accord
ance with the loss. He kept a com
plete record of the money he took,
the agent said.
Worley said he spent the money
on horse racing and to further his
interest in trap shooting.
A. Dean Worthington, bank
president, said the loss was dis
covered Monday morning by the
federal deposit insurance corpora
tion while investigating the banks’
books.
i He said the loss was covered by
insurance and that full payment
was made yesterday to the bank.
Florence Chauncey, well known
Eskimo artist from Gambell on
St. Lawrence Island arrived here
from Bethel where she has been
hospitalized for the past three
months. She is now en route home
again to St. Lawrence Island.
Nearly all the quinine for
American G.I.’s in World War II
was produced by Latin America.
i Committee OK’s
' Huge Pension Bill
! WASHINGTON, (A*)—A dissen
j tion-split House veterans commit
! tee today approved a modified
i pension bill adding about ten bil- i
j lion dollars to existing veterans
j benefits over the next 50 years.
The new bill in effect liberal
izes and writes into law regula
tions of the veterans administra
| tion already in force for disabled
and needy veterans. It is a follow
up to a hundred-billion dollar
measure which failed to pass.
The final committee product
contained an amendment by Rep.
Teague (D.-Tex.) barring pensions
for veterans able to work more
than half time.
The unemployability require
! ment was hotly opposed by chair
! man Rankin (D.-Miss.>. He voted
against it in committee and threat
ened to carry his fight against his
own committee’s bill onto the
floor of the House.
Emerging from, the committee
room, where members drew up a
final draft behind closed doors,
Rankin told reporters:
“The Teague amendment cuts
out six-sevenths of the World War
I veterans aged 65 or over. It is
the worst blow they have received
to date since the economy act olV
1933.”
The economy act reduced vet
erans pensions.
MUST SELL SOAP
TO KEEP OUT OF JAIL
ELLENSBURG, Wash. (/P) —
Raymond F. Young’s situation
seemed to boil down to this today:
either sell bars or cell bars.
The 32-year-old soap salesman
was placed on probation yesterday
for five years after pleading guil
ty to theft of $500 from the Fred
Gilmour Grocery Store in Kittitas.
In deferring sentence, Judge
Jay A. Whitfield ordered Young to
repay $4,800 raised by Mrs.
Young’s relatives as partial res
titution and to repay, within one
year, an additional $769.12, plus
court costs.
Young admitted 18 thefts.
