                  submitted the following

                           REPORT

                   [To accompany H.R. 6189]

The Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred the bill (H.R.
6189) granting an increase of pension to Eli Potts, have examined
the same and report:

The report of the Committee on Pensions of the House of Repre-
sentatives, hereto appended, is adopted and the passage of the bill
is recommended.

The House report is as follows:

Eli Potts, of Waverly, Pike County, Ohio, was a private in Company
K, Fourteenth Regiment U.S. Infantry, and served from August 30,
1847, to July 25, 1848, in the war with Mexico, and he is now
receiving the $12 per month allowed by law to the totally disabled
and destitute survivors of said war.

Testimony accompanying the bill shows that claimant has locomotor
ataxia and can walk only with the aid of crutches. This condition
has existed for several years, and he is now so nearly helpless
from this cause and blindness as to require a constant attendant.
It is further shown that claimant is 77 years of age and in a very
needy condition.

In view of the facts stated above the passage of the bill is 
recommended.
