 NOT CORRECT
Row Participated Before Committee as to Just
 What Veterans Ask

WASHINGTON, March 3.-A row occurred yesterday at the hearing Of the House committee on Ways and Means which is consid- ering the relief measure advocated for the benefit of veterans.
 Edward H. Hale, representing the veterans of foreign wars, told the committee that the statements made to the committee by President Dol fer. commander of the American Le- zion. were erroneous and should be contradicted.
 A storm of protest arose when Chairman Bicknet ruled that wit. nesses should not criticise other or ganizations.
 Hale urged that it was the duty of Congress to pay the men at the rate of thirty dollars per month for tre time they were in the govern ment service, with a bonus of one hundred dollars to the men who served overseas. He said he be- lieved the money could be raised by taxing the big income of the men whc had made fortunes from war contracts
