 Hushka and Carlson were shot down last Thursday by policemen who. were trying to clear bonus n,archers out of their Pennsylvania avenue biliets. Police Superintend- Ant Glassford, who witnessed the clash. said a group of veterans at- lacked the police with clubs. It was shortly after this clash that troops drove the entire bonus army out of the camps. under orders rom the president.
 Hushka's body lay this morning in a ag-draped casket in a fun- eral parlor, watched over by his lo- year-old daughter, Loretta; his d. yorced wife, Mrs Frances kriven- ko: and a guard of honor from front line post of the Veterans or Foreign Wars. Foreign Wars post and two posts of the American Legion were di- rcctcd to attend the services at lo Il. m. preceding the burial in Ar linyton.
 The funeral cortege was to pass the White House and be met at the Arlington gates by drum corps or the veterans organization.

 Mrs Krivenko and Loretta went to the funeral parlor shortly after their arrival from Chicago last evening. Loretta, wearing a bright yellow dress, walked timidly to- ward the casket, pushing a mass or golden curls back from her face.
 The little girl slipped alteringly to her knees, made the sign of the cross, and mumbled prayer = .tjust a little prayer for dad,' she said later.
 Mrs krivenko's eyes were red from weeping and she wore deep mourning for the husband she di- vorcsd three years ago. She too kneeled at the coffin, made the sign of the cross, and prayed.
 In the next room Mrs Cecll Mann of Monessen, Pa, kept a vi- gil over the tiny casket of her two montls-old, daughter, enshrouded by tiny flag. The child was born Mothers day while her parents were enroute here to join the bonus army. She died yesterday of dl- gestive ailment, and was to be bur fed this afternoon in cemetery lot provided by private charity. The infant was the third bonus army babe to die here.
 The Manns, with one worn dime to their name and four older chill dren to feed. have been taken in temporarily by Washington fam- fly.

pagln chambers of commerce have reported that taxpayers associa. tions are now active in five cities. taxation committees or research bureaus are active in sixteen com munities, and meetings to initiate action are scheduled soon in sixteen other municipalities.
 A letter to chambers of com merce from Chairman Tinsley initi- ated the campaign.

 The New England Council is re- celying commcndation for it's tax control campaign from many busi- ness organizations.

 In addition, the council fur
 nished every community organiza- ton with a bibliography for tax
 research. The action followed the intense interest in taxation prob Iems created when the council dee
 voted the entire Community Devel- opment session of the Seventh New

 In keeping with the Councils campaign, the New England Asso- citation of Commercial Executives,
 com prising in it's membership the

 to taxation problms.
 The councils campaign was strengthened when both Governors
 Ely of ssachusetts and Case Of
 Rhode Island urged upon their re- spective legislatures policies of re- trcnchment and state supervision
 of municipal borrowing. The finan-
 cial relationship Of the municipal ities to the state Is becoming an in-
 creasingly large factor in the New
 England situation. Governor Ely's
 proposal to lend the states credit
 to municipalities which are in dIf- ficultics is meeting with strong oo- boston. Tn Rhode Island the state is already lending to towns and

 Half the women chose narcis- sus-scented hose as the best, while all of the remainder. except nine. chose one or the other two scented pairs.

 Although the hose used were as identical as machines can make them" Dr Laird said, "tbe housewives usually gave some ap- parent phj .hcal reason for pick ing the best pair. The most com mon reasons were texture, finer weave, sheerness and feel.
 'Jt was amusing to see them give an apparently profound req son for selecting the one pair when it was the scent which ac- tually made them select It."
