Roosevelt Rejects New Principle in War Time Claims
The President dismissed a proposed scheme to divide profits from a Pennsylvania tract sold in 1927 among seven former owners as utterly indefensible. He also rejected 34318 paid to a Georgia firm for losses on an army undershirt contract, noting many similar cases lack justification. A 5000 monthly widow pension for a Montana forest fire worker’s kin was deemed invalid since the worker’s employer was private, not the government.
