HOOVER SUPPORTS
MEMORIAL DRIVE
President Feels Campaign Is
Deserving of Aid From
All in Capital.

President Hoover feels that the Dis
trict of Columbia World War Memorial
deserves support of all residents of the
National Capital.
The Chief Executive has expressed
his approval of the project, for which
a campaign by organized labor now is
under way, to raise the remaining $20,-
900 needed. In letter to Frank B.
Noyes, chairman of the District of Co.
lumbia Memorial Commission, Presi-
dent Hoover said:
'The proposed memorial in Potomac
Park to the members of the military
and naval forces from the District OF
Columbia who served in the World
War deserves the support Of all resi-
dents of the District.
1T not only will express in beautiful
form the public gratitude for great
service, but also will be a continuing
source of pride to the community"
The campaign now being conducted
by the Central Labor Union is to in
crease the memorial fund from $135 OOC
to the necessary $155. 900, for erection
of the beautiful white Doric temple
which is to be in a grove of trees be-
tween the Lincoln Memorial pool and
the Tidal Basin.
Several phases of the labor campaign
are we'll under way, in charge of an
executive committee of which Frank
w. Lee is chairman and r. A. Dickson
secretary.
Among the latest developments of
the campaign is Dollar Club, organ
lied under direction of Mr.. Dickson,
who reported today that it was meet
ing with much response. He expects
to realize at least $1,000, perhaps more,
for the memorial fund through the
Dollar Club.
Several meetings of labor organiza-
tions are scheduled for the next few
days and it is expected the memorial
project will be considered by these ses-
sions. Fred S. Walker, Typographical
Temple, is treasurer of the labor cam
paign fund.

shell on the stairway near the spot
where the brother and sister had quar-
relied. He also noticed a quantity OF
unwashed dishes in the kitchen.
DR.. Howard Parker of Sibley Hospital
told Of pronouncing the boy dead. DR..
A. NJ. Macdonald, an assistant coroner,
explained he had performed an autopsy
on the body and found that the bullet
had passed through the brain.
No member of the immediate family
was asked to testify, although Hilda,
her mother and father were present.
Hilda was prostrated at her home, 914
Irving street, this morning, after having
sobbed part of the story of the shooting
at the Irving street address to John
Fleharty. headquarters detective, at the
District Receiving Home last night
She told the detective she asked David
to help her wash the dishes and that
he refused, stating that it was a girls
work and that he was going out to play
with his comrades
Hilda said a quarrel ensued and that
she slapped her brother several times.
The boy broke loose from her and ran
to the telephone to call his father.
Hilda said she snatched the phone from
him and that her brother ran upstairs.
A few minutes later she said, he ap-
peared at the head of the stairway,
brandishing his fathers automatic re-
volver. At the bottom of the steps,
Hilda said, she attempted to wrest the
weapon from him.
we wrestled for the gun awhile, y
sobbed the girl, and I finally got II
away from him.
"I don't know what happened-an
remember is pointing the gun at him
ana hearing 1t go off,
The shot penetrated the boys fore
head and tore through the back OF his
head. Hilda called neighbors.
II have shot my brother" she
screamed.
Neighbors found the lad unconscious
at the foot of the steps. They carried
him to Sibley Hospital, where he died
a short time later. Hilda was taken
to the District Receiving Home, where,
after her mothers frantic pleas to send
her home, she was released.
This morning the family was over

said as loud applause broke out in the
galleries, that Andrew W. Mellon has
never ben right regarding any pre-
diction of a deficit made at time when
measure was pending he did not
like.
He opposed the soldiers bonus be-
cause he said 1t would create a deficit
of 5000, ,O0o, 900, yet within 90 days we

Reed was alone in opposing The COM
mittee bill on the floor, but, sensing the
sentiment of the Senate, he did not
press for a vote on his substitute.
He contended the bill would take
care Of only 100000 or about one-third
of the total veterans who could not
trace their disabilities to service origin.
His substitute would have provided q
disability allowance or pension of from
$12 to $40 a month depending on the
degree of disability.
Call Reed Plan Inadequate.
Opponents of the Reed plan con-
tended it was inadequate and expressed
surprise that it should have oeen
brought in just before the final vote
after the finance committee had first
tentatively approved and then rejected
a Democratic plan based on the same
principle after Republican leaders had
consulted Mr.. Hoover.
Reed also lost in an attempt to elm
mate from the bill provision to COM
pensate as well as hospitaliZe veterans
who contracted venereal diseases while
serving in the war.
Those voting for the bill were:
Republicans--Allen. Blaine, Borah,
Capper, Couzens, Cutting. Dale, Deneen,

to the bill for improvements at Colum-
bia Hospital, $2,440.80 for treatment of
contagious diseases at Garfield Me-
mortal Hospital and $4,598 for con-
tagious disease work at Providence Hos
pital.
An increase of $62,812 for the en-
largement and relocation of the Botanic
Garden was allowed by the Senate COM
mittee, together with $4,000 more for
the Library of Congress for the index
ing of Federal statutes.
Under the heading of public schools
the Senate committee wrote in clause
continuing for another year $116,500 of
the unexpended balances of appropria-
tions already made for buildings and
sites. The Senate committee approved
without change all of the other items
for the District government allowed by
the House, including the $18,500 for
installing radio station for the Police
Department In connection with crime
detection.
CramtOn Denies d. C. Burden.
Reading from the late edition of The
Star last night regarding the action
Of the Senate in striking from the Sec
ond deficiency apropriatoin bill the ST.
100000 item for park development un-
der the Cramton bill authorizing the
George washington Memorial Parkway,
Representative Cramton in the House
today declared that the retention of
this 81 100000 item would not mean
any additional financial burden on the
District.
II am bound to assume that no seri-
Gus legislative body would knock out
this $l,000,000 fund for parl. develop
ment because I happen to be the au-
thor both of the park bill and of the
100000 lump sum plan of fiscal re-
lations between the Federal and District
governments.
This $1,000,000 item would not be
left out because of the limit on the
lump sum, because it does not add one
penny to the financial obligations of
the District" said Representative Cram
ton. but it does relieve the District
considerably. The District will not have
to contribute under the Cramton park
bill one penny for parks outside of the
District, although they will afford ex-
tensive recreational facilities for the
people here"

SIMON REPORT HIT
BY NATIVES IN INDIA
London Press, However, Sees
Proposed Federation as
Basis of Discussion.


BOMBAY, June 24.-Leaders Of the
civil disobedience campaign, by which
Indian Nationalists are striving to gain
independence, declared today that the
recommendations of the Simon COM
mission on statutory and constitutional
reform would stiffen their movement
They consider that it meets none of the
Swarajist, or home-rule, demands.
AS part of their boycott of the Simon
commission from its inception, Nation
alist leaders of1cially ignored the re-
port, but actually they considered its
recommendations in the most minute
details. Even the Mahatma Gandhi, in
prison at Poona, was presented with a
copy of the recommendations by the
government, according to newspaper ac-
counts.
Resistance to Increase.
AS part of the plan to ignore the
Simon commission the leaders said that
there would be no professions of pro-
test nor mass meetings anywhere, but
that there would be a gradual increase
in the Swarajist, or Nationalist, re-
sistance movement in all centers where
passive resistance is now being car
ried on.
I'VE are not in the least disappointed
as we never expected anything in our
favor" v. j. Patel, former speaker of
the Indian Legislative Assembly, who
~ gV,1 Af o{,
resistance movement, said to the Asso-
ciated Press.
I'VE expected long fight in the first
place. he said, and it is now clear
that we will struggle for months, per-
hapS for years." And then with a
smile, "Of course, am supposed to ig-
more the recommendations, but as a
matter of fact have been poring over
the details for the last two hours.
Sees Boycott INDICATED.
"There is absolutely nothing in them
which would start to satisfy most In
dians, no matter to what party they
belong Our boycott of the Simon COM
mission is now fully vindicated. No
member of the All-India National Con-
gress will care to consider the recon-
mendations for moment. There Is no
suggestion of an immediate grant of
freedom anywhere.
I'm fact the recommendations will
Stiffen our attitude throughout the
country and nothing will satisfy us now
except complete independence. Some
would have been satisfied with dominion
status, but their attitude has stifTened
too and now they will fall in line with
the majority" g..
The Bombay Chronicle labeled its
comment IAN atrCciouS document. "
1T will go down in history as the
outstanding example of melancholy
meanness in one nations treatment of
another" the paper declared.
The Times of India, British owned,
said 1.-THE recommendations naturally
won't satisfy every Indian political
mind, but it will be wise to consider
some of them good deal before at
tempting anything like final Judgment
on them"

I'VE know you Representatives don't
care what the people think about you
except at election time. You are just
like base ball players We only care
about what the people think about us

1T is nice to pick up the newspapers

resentative Hatton Summers, Democrat,

some of the congressional seeds that
never came up
Down ,in his little town Of italy, he
said, his parents used to make him
plant the garden seed.
Senator Tom Connally, Democrat

and told him that If his parents hao
not insisted upon him working in The
garden with the congressional seeds that
never came up he would probably have
been an anemic soda squirt in a corner
drug store.

seeds work in wonderful ways,
Senator Connally said. They got you
out in the pure ozone and helped to de.
velop your muscles. Swinging a hoe
made you strong so that you clout the
ball in the big league"
Representative Summers smilingly
said that he would like to make an OBJ
servation relative to Shires' remarks.
Young man, you haven't the proper
appreciation of the value of those
worthless seeds to you. If it had not
been for your getting tired of culti-
waiting those seeds. you would be wear
