Mead Called
To Testify by
May Defense
"WASHINGTON. June 12 -VP)
The defense today obtained a
court order requiring former Sen
ator James M. Mead (D-N.Y.)
to testify next Tuesday at the
May-Garsson war fraud trial on
whether he "withheld evidence."
Federal Court Justice Henry A.
Schweinhaut ruled ' that Mead
jcould be asked only about a de
fense contention that the former
chairman of the senate-war inves
tigating committee held back
documents which would help
dear the three trial defendants.
:'' Andrew J. May, wartime chair
man of the house military com
mittee, and Munitions Makers
Henry and Murray Garsson are
charged at the trial with bribe
conspiracy, involving $55,000 May
allegedly took from the Garssons
favors to their $7,000,000 muni
tions combine.
. Mead's committee investigated
the wartime relations between
May and the Garssons.
Charles J. Margiotti, chief de
fense counsel, argued in asking
the court's permission to have
Mead testify, that his senate com
mittee took private papers from
May and the Garssons which ihey
now need, in their defense.

CHICAGO, June 12 (P)- The

which government spokesmen
said might mean payment 01 n if 1 - TT?1 "1

. decision, the court XllTeai WOWS
neia uuu a veterans administra
tion regulation regarding pay
ments to beneficiaries over 30
was in error and that it "dis
torted" congressional language
and was an "usurpation of "legis
lative power."
William M. Ly tie, special as
sistant U. S. district attorney,
said that under the decision the
government might .pay the face
value of some policies as much
as five times or, more. He said
he would recommend an immed
iate appeal to the supreme court.
The court held that the V. A.
erred in passing regulations which
because based on life expect
ancy tables in some cases would
make the usual 120 monthly
payments total, less than the face
value of the policy.
The V. A. regulation, the ruling
said, would figure the payments,
for beneficiaries 30. years old or
over, as equalized monthly pay
ments for 120 months based on
the life expectancy of the bene
ficiary according to standard in
surance mortality tables.
z. The court ruled that payments
to such beneficiaries should be
made on a basis of the full face
value of the policy, plus 3 per
cent interest, in 120 equal month
ly installments. '
If the beneficiary- lived past
this 120 month period, the deci
sion said, he should continue to
receive the monthly installments
for life.

announced here Thursday.
The basic school fund was ap
proved by Oregon voters at the
last general election and machln
cry for Its administration was set
up at the last legislative session.

First distribution will be made
September IS; Putnam said, when
one-half of each school districts
allocation will be mailed out by
the secretary of state. Second
payment will be made next
March. The allocations will be
made on the basis of $13,250,000,
with $350,000 earmarked for the
care of handicapped children. Ad
mlrustratlve costs of $100,000
were allowed by the 1947 legiala
ture but the amount was reduced
to $S4.000 by the stste board of
education.
Elections will be held through
out the rural areas of the state
next Monday to choose county
school director who after Janu
ary 1. 1948, will review the bud
gets of all rural school within
the county. Officials predicted
that these rural school districts
would face a difficult situation
because they also must formulate
policies.
Mar Have EtertUas
Under the rural school act con
solidated budgets will be prepar
ed for all schools under Jurisdic
tion of the directors and if the
budget is in excess of the 6 per
cent limitation the budget must
be approved by the voters. Should
the voters reject the budget the
directors then will ask each dist
rict to place its own budget be
fore its school patrons for consideration.
If sufficient schools consolidate
to make up 1.000 or more pupil
attendance, the district automati
cally becomes a first class dist
rict and is removed from the
rural school category, Putnam
averred.
