POCKET VETO KILLS
RETIREMENT BILL
Coolidge Lets Measure Die
on His Last Day in
Office.

Hopes of thousands Of Federal en-
ployes for hberslized civil service retire.
ment conditions were killed today when
President Coolidge, at the last moment,
permitted the Dale-Lehlbach bill, in
creasing retirement pay, to die a pocket
veto.
The President had the bill before him
at the White House this morning before
coming to the Capital without having
signed 1t. After his arrival at the Capt.
tai the measure again was before him,
but he did not sign it with the few re-
naming others that became law Just
before the expiration of the SEVENTEEN
Congress.
Up to the last hour adherents of the
bill were still in hopes that the Presi-
dent would recognize the urgency of
liberalizing the retirement conditions in
the civil service and these hopes were
boosted by earlier indications at the
White House that even though Mr..
Coolidge did not believe features of
the bill harmonized with his recon-
mendations on this legislation, never
theleSs the judgment of Congress in
this matter would have considerable
weight with him.
The Dale-Lehlbach bill. which passed
the Senate last Wednesday, one year
after similar action in the House, would
have increased retirement pay Of Fed
eral employees from $1,000 to $1,000.
With the failure of the President to
sign 1t today the whole legislation must
go through the periods of re-enactment
during the special or next regular SeS-
sion of the next incoming Congress.

VETERANS PAY HONOR
TO UNKNOWN SOLDIER

Harlan Wood, commander of the Dis
trict department American Legion, yes
terday led 500 of bis comrades to the
tomb of the Unknown Soldier In Airing
ton National Cemetery. where, after q
brief program, he laid q wreath on the
tomb
The arrival of the Legion representa-
tives quickly drew a crowd Of several
thousand inaugural visitors, who stood
with barred heads during the ceremony.
AL IA Washington posts Of the Amer
lean Legion were represented, as was
also the Sharon Post OF Sharon, Pa. A
member Of the latter post also placed
wreath on the tomb.
Wood, in brief address, said he
thought 1t fitting that the American
Legion, on the eve Of an inauguration.
should pay homage to one who had
helped to insure such events through
the loss of his life on the battlefield
to preserve American freedom.
To say that when we resume the
citizen we do not lay aside the soldier
is equally as true as to say, when
we assume the soldier we do not law
aside the citizenship Wood declared.
The exercises were closed by the Re-
publican Glee Club with patriotic songs

sole function is to fight in obedience to
command. They have no voice, like
other Americans, in the councils which
determine war or peace They have
no representation in the. Government
which requires them to fight, to bleed
and perhaps to die.
National representation is q distinc-
tive. basic right OF the American citizen
lin Government Of the people, BY
the people, for the people--in a Govern
ment which roots its justice in consent
OF the governed-in a representative
Government which inseparably couples
taxation and arms-bearing as a soldier
with representation.
Since the half million Americans of
the District pay national taxes, obey
national laws and 60 to war in the
Nations defense, they are entitled on

taxes them, which makes all laws for
them and which sends them to war.
Congress Would Retain Power.
The constitutional amendment which
we urge empowers Congress to correct
this inequity without disturbing in the
slightest national control of the Capital
or the present form of municipal
Government. Congress retains every
power In these respects that 1t now
possesses. All that happens will be
that the District becomes a small frac-
tional part of that Congress, and politi-
cally an integral part of the Nation
which that Congress represents.
National representation will clothe
the Washingtonian with vital Ameri-
can privilege, to which he is undeniably
in equity entitled: will cleanse him OF
the stigma and stain Of un-American-
ism, and, curing his political impotency,
will arm him with a certain power.
1T will relieve the Nation of the
shame. of un-Americanism at It's heart
and of impotency to cure this evil.
1T will inflict no injury or hardship
upon either Nation or Capital to coun-
teract these BENEFITS.
Consistency and justice; national
pride and self-respect: the will to efface
shameful blot from the national
escutcheon: the spirit of true Ameri-
canism and righteous hatred of autoc-
racy In any guise; the patric 10 impulse
| toward full preparedness of the Nation
as champion of democracy and rep
| resentstive government everywhere in
the world-all combine to make rresist-
ible at this very moment our appeal for
the adoption Of this amendment"
