Killed in Senate

An amendment to the Army
appropriation bill inserted by the
House to prohibit the issuance Of
any uniform to Civil War veterans
other than the old Army blue, was
defeated in the Senate yesterday,
after the question had turned upon
whether old soldiers have an over
whelming sentiment for the par
ticular uniform cloth In which
they campaigned.
Supporting the amendment, Sem
ator Willis, Republican, Ohio, de-
clared the veterans insisted upon
the familiar garments rather than
the new olive drab furnished from
Government surplus. Chairman
Wadsworth of the Senate military
committee insisted that if such
was the case 'it has not been
brought to the attention of the
board of governors of the homes
