LEGION BONUS STAND
Points to Action at Boston Conven-
ton in Letter to Patman,
Texas.

BY the Associated Press.
Ralph T. O'Neil, national commander
of the American Legion, has written
Representative Patman of Texas the
opinion that in view of the action Of its
Boston convention the Legion should
not initiate or sponsor any legislation"
for cash payment of compensation GER
tiflcates.
Patman, o Democrat, attempting to
force consideration of proposals to con-
vert the veterans certificates, made the
letter public yesterday.
In q formal statement the Texan as
serted at is now incumbent upon the
rank and file of the American Legion
and the individual posts of the Ameri-
can Legion to let their members of Con-
gress know that this legislation Is
needed and expected"
The Legion commander said 10 de-
partments believe the national organi-
zation should sponsor conversion legis-
lation, while 20 others heard from in a
survey believe the organization should
not join actively in the movement
The organizations national judge ad-
vocate has declared the Boston conven-
ton gave direct mandate" O'Neil
said, adding this could not be ignored.
The commander observed. however,
that he did not interpret the conven-
TONS action as mandate Of opposition.

FAILURE OF ENFORCEMENT
Breakdown of City Governments Will
Lead to Nation, Says Youngsto u
Executive.

one police ohicial to another, with tenn
porary SUCCESS each time, but with fall
ure in the end. He repeatedly has
been threatened with violence, but has
refused to be intimidated.
Hits sloppy Hypocrisy"
Now, however, Mayor Heffernan has
come to the conclusion that law en-
forcement will never be a reality until
the American people cease Their sloppy
hypocrisy. am sick and disguised
with the futility Of trying to make po-
ncemen enforce laws to govern people
who refuse to obey their own laws"
Recently the problem has been COM
plicated by a municipal financial deficit.
With characteristic decisiveness, when
faced with the necessity, the mayor
ordered all policemen and firemen to
work half time only. Six fire stations
were closed and turmoil in general
reigned.
After u hours the county repre-
sentatives in the Legislature promised
the means to remedy the situation and
regular police and FIRE department
routine was restored.
Regarding the difficulties Of law en-
forcement, Mayor Heffernan believes
the American people do not realize the
seriousness of the situation. I'VE now
think we can ride along in our Welter
Of lawlessnesS and not pay the conse-
quences. Well, we can't.
Cause and effect are still an i'm
mutable law. We are going to pay. and
pay dearly for our sins. The breakdown
Of government will spread"
From corrupt and cynical cities"
grows our national ideal, the executive
said. Governmental collapse in the
cities will lead to the Nation. That
effect is so clearly foreshadowed that
it Is hardly necessary to call attention
to It, Still the people drift on the
turgid stream of 1awlessnesS and cor
ruption with their eyes closed TO the
rapids ahead"
To change the situation, Mayor Hef-
fernan holds, we must go ahead to new
ethical standards or to the basis of old
time religious ideals To-day we are
dominated by naterialism. The only
criterion of success is wealth"

YOUNGSTOWN Ohio, January TO-
Turmoil and trouble accompanying re-
peated failures of his spectacular ef-
forts for law enforcement have con-
WINGED one American mayor that law
enforcement in cities Is hopeless, and
brought from him the prediction today
that governmental collapse in the
cities will lead to the Nation"
Mayor Joseph L. Heffernan OF
Youngstown, author of the prediction,
entered ONCE three years ago "a happy
optimist and ardent idealist," but today
admitted problems of law enforcement
have made him "a converted pessimtst
and Q convinced cynic."
Dismissals Of two police chiefs, three
vice squad leaders and innumerable
civilian raiders mark the path Travelled
by Mayor Heffernan in his three-year
effort to make youngstown walk the
straight and narrow" His life has
BEEN threatened repeatedly. Once a
bomb was discovered near his home.
Recall petitions have been threatened
many times, but he always has
weathered the storm.
Regime Of Ups and Downs.
The youngstown mayors regime has
been as filled with ups and downs as
probably any municipal executive IN
the country. He has been very much
in the public eye, not only in his own
city, but in the State and Nation.
Expanding his prediction Of govern
mental collapse, Heffernan said: I
see nothing but futility to municipal
government and q cynicism on the
part of the people which presages a
gloomy future. To me the handwriting
q on the wall, and unless the American
people jerk themselves up shortly, we
are going down in any abyss such as
yawned before great nations at other
periods Of world history"
Attempts to enforce the prohibition
laws have been one OF Mayor Heffer-
mans greatest sources Of discourage
ment. Time after time he has swept
the bootleggers out, but always they
have come back.s

States in influencing the result of cleo
tons"
without mentioning the States by
name, Senator Nye referred caustically
TO the results Of his committees inquiry
into the campaigns in Nebraska and IL
linois, especially as to the activities
in Nebraska Of Robert H. Lucas, execu-
tive director Of the Republican National
Committee. Referring to Lucas he said
that his committee had found "a man
entrusted with the dictatorship Of the
affairs of q great national party, enter
ing propaganda into the campaign in
such q manner as to conceal who was
truly responsible for tile vicious and
unwarTanted kind of literature dis
.tributed."
Refers to Grocer Case.
Testimony before the Nye committee
was that Lucas circulated literature
against Senator Norris, Republican indie
to place George w. Norris, Broken Bow
grocer, on the primary ticket to oppose
Senator George w. Norris.
"All Of these things-the deceit, the
conniving and the shameful work-done
because money was available to defeat
a candidate who hadn't pleased would
be Bosses" he added.
Discussing the Illinois Republican
primary, in which Ruth. Hanna McCor-
mick won over Senator Deneen, Mr.
Nye said that this was the case of
man defeated before a ballot was
dropped in the box, defeated because in
the public mind he couldn't hope 10
compete In the matter Of expenditures
Of money; a very clear example of how
near we are to that day when it must
be concluded that a man without means
is a plain waSter to entertain even the
ambition to represent the people of his
State in the United States Senate"
Sees FavOrs Bought
Contending that campaign contribu-
tionS buy political favors, Senator Nye
cited as IAN example" the 1924 cleo
lions, when, he said, John D. Rookie
teller, Andrew w. Mellon, Payne Whit
ney, the Marshall Field estate, George
F. Baker, ST.: George F. Baker, jr.;
Vincent Aston, j. B. Duke, Julius
Fleischmann, Cyrus Curtis and Joseph
e. Widener, Ito name only few men"
mace contributions to party campaign
funds ranging from 5000 to s25, 600.
In 1926" he asserted, the parties
TO which they contributed became spon-
sors of a tax-reduction bill which was
whipped through Congress by party
leaders and which saved TO these men
each and every year sums ranging from
5000, 900 TO nearly $4,000, 000"

the bullet in Miss Limerick's head. At
that time they found an exploded shell
in Miss Limerick'S room.

neither the second shell nor bullet. It
was explained, however that the floor
was dirty and the bullet hole which
Langdon reported showed only q minute

Says Body Not Disturbed.
Mrs. Limerick corroberated previous
testimony by a daughter, Mrs. Julia
Bywaters, to the effect that, 50 far as
was known, no one of the dead girls
family or acquaintance disturbed her
body between the time she was pro-
nounced dead and the arrival Of the
undertakers several hours later.
In addition both women insisted that
Miss Limerick's head rested on sofa pill
lows and that there were no clean sheets
on her bed.
Green, in his testimony Friday, was
equally as positive that the body APP
peared to have been laid out" on i'm

see the creases where they had come out
from under an iron.
Two rs caliber automatics taken from

one Of them turned his gun on himself,
will be subjected to ballistic tests to
determine If either could have exploded
the shells found in the home at 10
Nineteenth street southeast, where Miss
Limerick was discovered dying on the
morning of New Years eve. Police ad-
mitted, however, that they have no
information to connect either bandit
with the Limerick death, and merely
would make the tests because both
guns were Of the caliber which fired
the fatal slug.
Fowler to Make Tests.
Capt Edward j. Kelly, assistant chief
of detectives. said last night the two
guns would be turned over to the de-
partment's firearms expert-Lieut. John
Fowler of No. 10 precinct, who made
tests Of guns owned by Langdon, and of
two bullets and two exploded cartridges
held as evidence in the case.
Fowler found the death bullet re-
moved from Miss Limerick'S brain too
battered to be identified by ballistic
tests. Beyond the fact that 1t was steel
jacketed and came from a rs auto
matte, the slug defled identification.
