War Risk Suits May Be Thrown Out Of Court
Eighteen veterans insurance suits filed and hundreds more pending before the veterans bureau may be dismissed if motions by the U S attorney's office in Albuquerque prevail. The government argues the economy act repealed laws allowing suits, barring the government from being sued without permission.

Public Works Industry Bell Reports On Recovery Bill
Washington May 24 AP The national industry recovery bill is deemed a boon to employment and business by the House Ways and Means Committee. A formal report to be released says expected benefits from new employment outweigh the inconvenient tax burden to finance the 3.3 billion dollar measure. The committee unanimously approved the report except for a 220 million dollar tax plan objected to by Republicans who pushed for a sales tax. The tax package raises income and gasoline taxes and taxes stock dividends, described as temporary in character. Leaders plan a House vote Thursday or Friday despite rules committee resistance to amendments.
