Council Expects to Find Dishonesty in Vets’ Affairs Major General O’Ryan Blames Incompetence of Under paid Employes for Ad verse Criticism. Washington, April 11.—Disclosure of "dishonesty on a pretty big scale here and there” In the past handling of veterans’ bureau affairs was pre dicted by MaJ. Oen. John F. O’Ryan, special counsel of the senate inves tigating committee, who said he based his statement on a preliminary sur vey. However, he declared, he was im pressed with the conscientious ef forts made in many directions to car ry out the purpose for which the bu reau was created. Many of tho diffi culties encountered which brought about adverse criticism, he said, prob ably will be traced to incompetence of underpaid employes entrusted with the expenditure of the vast sums of money. General O'Ryan expects the com mittee to begin hearings next week. Many Graft Charges. Complaints reaching the committee counsel cover most activities of the bureau, but the principal ones, Gen eral O'Ryan said, are those charging "graft in the purchase of hospital sites, and those from former service men who either have not received compensation from the bureau or who are receiving some but think they are not getting a square deal.” Wherever a clear case of injustice is shown General O'Ryan, he for wards the complaint to Director Hines for action, and in this way many faults are being corrected. Complaints from .individuals, the committee attorney said, have been divided into three groups: Those of complaints having no case; "ordinary” cases resulting from an honest difference of medical opinion, and those cases where the beneficiary lives in a remote locality, papers have been lost, compensation checks have gone astray or maladministra tion is apparent. Receives Co-Operation. To aid him in the sifting and in vestigating process. General O'Ryan 1 said he had asked and was receiving | the co-operation of the bar associa I tions in every state, lawyers are be ing designated by these organiza tions who have no connections that would inject politics in the investiga tion. If acceptable to the committee's counsel, they are then charged with running down complaints in their re spective localities. In this way. General O'Ryan said, he is able to comb the entire country. All papers, especially those relating to complaints of “graft,” he added, are turned over to local investigators with the assurance that the truth would be developed and there will be no “ax to grind.” Neither he nor the senate commit tee, General O'Ryan Raid, will at tempt to correct mistakes of injus tices. These are being called to the atten tion of tho veterans' bureau and their correction will be left to Director Hines. If anything of a criminal na ture is developed, he added, it will be called to the attention of the De partment of Justice.

Washington, April 11.—Available names for appointment as the third republican member of the federal farm loan board were discussed in a confer ence between President Harding, Farm Loan Commissioner Lobdel! and Elmer Landes, a member of the farm loan board, but whether a decision was reached was not disclosed. It was learned, however, that the name of W. G. Jamieson of Colo rado had been presented to the presi dent by Senator Phipps of that state, and indications were that Mr. Jamie son was being given serious con sideration for the place. Former Senator McCumber of North Dakota and former Representative A. P. Nel son of Wisconsin hive been sug gested for the appointment, which will complete the board’s quota of three republicans nnd three demo crats. Announcement of s decision as to the loan board vacancy may come within a few days and the president has let it be known that he expecis to name the “dirt fanner" member of the reserve board before the end of the. week. There has been no dearth of names presented for the latter place and about the only guide line thrown out at the White House as to the appointment has been that it will not come from the south. The president was said to have felt he had fulfilled the obligation to that section in the appointment of James G. McNary, Texas-New Mexico banker, whose nomination to be comptroller of the. currency failed of confirmation in the senate. It was understood also that after the presi dent had offered Mr. McNary a recess appointment a* comptroller and the latter had declined, the executive sug gested naming him to the farm lonn board, a place Mr. McNary also re fused.

Women Can Dress to Look Slimmer Miss Hansen to Show How by Living Models at Better Homes Exposition. Xo more interesting event will take place at the Better Homes Exposition to be held from April 30 to May 5 than the lecture and demonstration "Reducing by Means of Dress," which will be delivered by Miss Evelyn Han-j sen, a noted lecturere and authority on women's and children's dress. "The pink striped lined dress was replaced by simple green organdie, with sheer collar and cuffs—the little black turban was replaced by a wide brimmed graceful hat, banded with a wreath of flowers, and the model was transformed from a robust, plump creature Into one of slender graceful lines—and the costume, oh! la la— one glance and you would wager it was created by a most exclusive Fifth avenue designer.” That is the way the Chicago Daily Xews fashion expert described one of the demonstrations by Miss Evelyn Hansen, whose life work is the edu cation of women in better taste in dress. "Women should know their own type,” says Miss Hansen. "Dress ought to emphasize a woman's per sonality; it ought to be her mental picture of herself.” In Miss Hansen's lecture demon stration at the Better Homes Exposi tion, she uses living models of every type of woman and gives a vivid demonstration of the difference it makes In a woman's appearance when she wears the colors that belong to her type, and that bring out her in dividual personality. The Better Homes Exposition will be conducted by the American Homes bureau, who are holding 100 similar expositions at various points through out the country. The holding of the exposition here has been arranged and made possible by the active support of The Omaha Bee and local retail dealers.
