talk VETERANS AID
Legion May Seek Extension
of Insurance Payments.
Ey United Press

Ey Cnited Press
CHICAGO, June 29.-Further fl
nancial aid for World war veterans
may be sought in the next Con-
gress through extension Of the gov
eminent fiYe-year convertible term
life insurance, Ralph T. ONeil, ma
tional commander of the American
egion, said in an address todaoy.
1T seems advisable that legisla-
ton should be enacted liberalizing
the flve-year term policy, so that
the veteran who has been carrying
the policy of this type should have
an additional three to five years in
which to convert it into another
type of government insurance"
O'Neil said.
This is suggested because the
financial condition of the average
veteran during the last few years Of
financial stringency has not i'm
proved and it is only fair that the
right to convert such policy be
extended until the veteran is
financially rehabilitated."

By United Press
LOS ANGELES, June 90. - A
plea for women to become leaders
was made by Mrs. Emily Newell
Blair, prominent feminist, author
and lecturer. at the National Edu-
cation Association convention Sun
day night.
In today's world, there is no in
stitution that bears the imprint of
women" Mrs. Blair said. There
is nothing that is done, except the
bearing of children, that men can
not DO and that men do not man
age.
Men still dominate this world.
Women work under instructions
from men. In the business world
today, women play the part of
servants, not equals. The positions
that decide politics are for the
most part still held by men"

viii Hays Replies Holly to
Critical Report of
Church Council.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, June 29-"What is
to be said in favor of those who
betray their religious constituencies
by demanding and receiving COM
pensation for lecture tours on the
subject Of exposing the movies, 4"
demanded viii H. Hays, movie car,
in replying today to pointed crit
icism Of the movie industry by the
Federal Council Of Churches in
America.
Hays quoted from a letter said
to have been written by the Rev.
George Reid Andrews in his
capacity as chairman of the
federal council on religious drama,
in which Andrews demands" 10
per cent of the gross receipts on
the motion pictures, King OF
Kings" for the treasury of the
Church and Drama Association, of
which he was executive secretary.
SIaps at Survey
Hays charges came in reply to
voluminous survey of the movies
made by the federal councils re-
search department, which, accord
ing to Hayes, contains not a single
practical proposal to its credit for
the betterment of the movies"
Phase Of the report dealing with
the payment of honoraria to in
dividuals of the federal council for
lectures and other services, already
has resulted in the resignation of
Carl E. Millikan, former Maine Gov
ernor and executive secretary of
the Motion Picture Producers and
Distributors, Inc, from the federal
church council.
Payments Suspicious
Payment of honoraria, the church
report inferred, places the Hays
organization under suspicion.
Celebrating on his charges
against Andrews, Hays asserted
the minister has conducted a cam
paign of charges and statements
against the organized motion pic
ture industry "since he has been
made to realize that the industry
will not accede to demands for con-
tributions."
Andrews today replied to the
Hays broadside by declaring the
motion picture car is trying to
draw a red herring across the trail
of revelations"
Charges Secret Payroll
The Hays organization has fifty
two members and three executives
Of the Church and Drama Associa-
ton, which Andrews heads, on a
secret payroll, the minister charges.
Hays stands revealed by his own
tactics" said Andrews. mo amount
of attacks on me or any other in
dividual can obscure the principles
at issue. If the movies can silence
criticism and direct public opinion
by buying their way into the
church, what guarantees have we
that we shall be able to preserve
intact our institutions and prevent
their complete control by those who
profit from appeal to the baser
appetites?"

The fight is scheduled for 10

full route. The young Californian
should put stop to things in the
sixth round or thereabouts. Baer
has everything but experience.
Heeney, has little more than a stout
heart that keeps him moving for

The betting boys have made this

Sharing headline honors with
Baer and Heeney will be none
other than Jack Dempsey. who

ably the main one.
