LEGION PUBLICITY
HIT BY M'GAHAN
Representative johnson Up
held in Accepting Con-
gress Pay in War.

Declaring the facts have been known
for many years and to bring them out
again at this time brings disrepute
upon the American Legion, Paul ]. Nc
Gahan, past department commander of
the Legion today scored Victory Post
for calling attention to the fact that
Representative Royal C. Johnson of
South Dakota received congressional
pay for his service as an enlisted man
and officer in the World War.
Mr. McGahan pointed out that SIM
liar pay was granted by Congress to
other members of Congress who served
in the war, namely: Representative
Albert johnson of Washington, Senator
Tom Connally of Texas, Senator Carl
Hayden of New Mexico. Representative
Fiorello H. La Guardia Of New York
and Representative Victor Heintz OF
Ohio.
ut is a matter of cold fact" Mr.
McGahan today wrote The Star, that
the so-called revelation of the Victory
Post concerns facts which have been
known for many years, and which con-
stituted an action on the part of the
Congress of the United States. can
not possibly see how they reflect any
discredit upon Mr.. Johnson or other
members of Congress concerned.
"I am constrained to observe that 1t
is publicity of this character that has
tendency to lessen the good repute in
which the Legion Is generally held"

D. A. v. DENOUNCES
GRANT BURROUGHS
Claims Disabled Veterans Have
Less Chance to Find Work Than
Non Disabled Guards.

Protest against the plan Of Lieut.
Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, to furlough serv-
disabled veterans for pc
riods in excess of the furlough taken by
non-disabled personnel. was registered
today by the Department Executive
Committee of the Disabled American
Veterans of the World War.
The committee pointed out that Col.
Grant always has granted preference
to veterans in the appointment of
building guards in Washington, but
that In his execution of administrative
furloughs for these guards, some dis
abled guards have been furloughed for
a longer time than non-disabled guards.
1t is argued in the resolution that
able bodied guards have better chance
of getting temporary employment while
on furlough than their disabled CO.
workers.

TENSION RELIEVED
IN FARM BLOCKADE
Pickets Stay, but Agreement
at Sioux City Ends Milk
Price War.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, August 81
Peace settled on the Council Bluffs
and Sioux City sectors of the farmers
war for higher prices today.
Picketing continued on three Of the
four main highways leading into Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Sheriff P. A. Lainson re-
ported, but was without violence Of any
kind. He expressed the opinion that
the strike movement was fading out"
A settlement of the milk price war
at Sioux City last night served to re-
leve the tension of the situation. An
agreement was signed to give pro-
ducers $180 per hundredweight for
their product. The previous top was
S1.40. Immediately afterward the pro-
ducers agreed to lift their attempted
blockade of the city.
VIII Use Radio Instead.
Threats of picketing at Shenandoah,
about so miles southeast of here, van
ished when holiday leaders agreed with
business men and produce dealers to use
radio in persuasion campaign for the
movement. Pickets were withdrawn and
three holiday leaders left the city to
broadcast daily on three f1ve-minute
periods over the local stations, KMA
and KFNF.
In Nebraska pickets were maintained
at Blair on the pricipal roads leading
into Omaha from the northeast part of
the State. They permitted truckers to
go through yesterday, with a warning
that this is the last time"
The blockade was lifted at the Ne
braska end of the interstate bridge
leading into Yankton, S. D.
The movement met with little sue
cess in two other Nebraska cities. At
Pender, c. ]. Schultz, Plymouth County,
Iowa, farmer, addressed 500 business
men and farmers but said the farmers
gave little encouragement toward
picketing. At Norfolk farmers agreed
to make no effort toward picketing un-
til after September 3.
Des Moines Threatened.
There was, however, an attempt to
spread the movement toward the Vicin-
ity of Des Moines, where 1000 pickets
were ready for action. Sheriff C. F.
Keeling at Des Moines, said he would
use every available resource to keep the
highways open.
South Dakota Holiday supporters
agreed to start a non-selling campaign
September S if other State organizations
agreed. At Huron, they decided it was
inadVsable to start the movement un-
less it was general. Gov. Warren E.
Green said he would consider calling
a conference Of mid-Wetern governors
to arrange plans and a date for the
anti-marketing campaign

up the target. The work of Battery A
was commended by the Regular Army

the battery. The plane for the night

GIL M. S. PINAFORE" sailed
LIZ across the stage of the
Sylvan Theater last evening before
an audience which covered the
graceful hillside to the South Of the
Washington Monument and num-
bered we'll over 10000. The sea
was far from ''choppy," for the per-
formance went off as smoothly as
though the entire cast were expert
enced professionals, and there were
no long waits, once the performance
got under way. The tuneful melo-
dies which still appeal were greatly
enhanced last evening by the well
nigh perfect enunciation of the
principals and those in the chorus,
so that every word could be under-
stood distinctly. The costumes were
fresh and new, following traditions
established in this country Tor the
merry and clever light operas OF
Gilbert and Sullivan. The voices
of soloists and chorus were fresh
and uniformly good.
To Estelle Wentworth belongs the
giant share of praise for her direct
ing, training and staging OF the
performance. She was at the piano
throughout the opera, playing the
accompaniment as well as directing.
She has gathered together an excel
lent company of singers, with wen
balanced choruses, singing with
crisp, clear phrases, good tone and
shading. 1t was a real achievement
