BY PAUL C. WOLMAN,
Commander in Chief, Veterans OF ForeiEn
Wars of the United States.

Commander in Chief, Veterans OF FOREIGN
Wars of the United States.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, August 2s
(N.A.NA) The Veterans OF Foreign
Wars of the United States is an organi-
zation composed of American citizens
who have seen service under the Amer
lean flag in some war campaign OF
expedition on foreign soil or on hostile
waters, for which the Government
awarded to them campaign badge.
The primary purpose Of this organl-
zation is comradeship and the welfare
of our comrades. their dependent fam
lilies, orphans and widows.
Contrary to the ballyhoo OF politi-
cally-minded mountebanks and their
toadies, our organization has no de-
sire to rob" our Government. We dc
not intend to burden the taxpayers, but
we do think the Government owes US
a debt that cannot be paid with Oily
words of praise. Our legislative pro-
gram has been and always shall be
fair, and our demands just.
Cites Disability Pensions.
We fought for and finally obtained
a disability pension system for World
War veterans. who have been unable
to produce the necessary and intricate
details proving their disability to be
the result of service during the World
War.
We advocated and helped to obtain
an amendment to the adjusted COM
pensation act increasing the loan value
upon the adjusted compensation GER
tiflcates from 22l2 per cent to so per
cent and reducing the interest to AZ
per cent. When Congress reconvenes
we shall fight for the fun payment OF
Hnl
Of those certificates.
Realizing that only per cent OF the
widows and dependent minors OF World
War veterans are able to obtain COM
pensation from the Government, we feel
it is our duty TO help the orphans and
widows of veterans who had been re-
ceiving disability allowances but who
died of causes other than those tech
nically seryice-connected.
1t is not our intention, nor do be-
lieve il to be the intention of any other
service organization, to dictate to our
Government. However, we do try TO
show our Senators and Representatives
that a large percentage Of our comrades
are in need Of help. And We do fire.
quently call to the attention Of our
Senators and Representatives the fact
that the statements of Andrew w. Mel
lon and others regarding veterans leg
islation are usually out Of gear.
Adequate Hospitals Wanted.
We are going to use every reasonable
means within our power to have suf-
ficient number Of veterans hospitals
and homes provided for the necessary
attention Of those seeking admission.
We are not at all connected with any
political party, but as an organization
we propose to stand behind any law
maker who helps to better the condition
Of the veteran, and we shall do our ut
most TO defeat at the polls any ONCE
seeker who opposes legislation for the
alienation of the disabled service man
and his dependents or ignores their
needs

PUT IT AT 5,9OO

Democratic Town Chairman John H. Crary den. onstrated in Tuesdays election his ability to fig ure closely on the majority of the party's candidate for mayor. That MT Crary has a very unusual way of figuring majorities in advance of the general voting, has always been conceded by his party workers. But in Tuesdays election he eclipsed all past performances of this kind.
 Several of the democratic lead CTS prior to Tuesday got together and informally filed figures, estim- ating the majority Mayor Hayes would win by. MT Crary figured. close to $500 for Mayor Hayes. Needless to say, there were others who believed his estimate to be very exaggerated.
 But the 6,059 majority obtained by MT Hayes on Tuesday showed MT Crary to have come the closest Of all those giving prediction pre- dictionS. a
