NEW YORK, April Maurice
SLENDER, New York state adjutant
of the American Legion, said today
that Willard Straight post will be
subject to severe censure and pos
sible suspension Of its charter, be-
cause of its statement opposing the
bonus bill and attacking the Lee
gions Washington representation.
THE statement was out of order,
unnecessary, and erroneous" Stem
Der said. willard Straight post al
ways has been out of step with
county, state and national organiza-
ton. To my knowledge it never has
participated in any activities of the
legion.
THE post is without sympathy or
knowledge of the needs of disabled
veterans, their dependents, and
widows and orphans of diseased
veterans, because it never has con-
tributed anything in any shape or
form toward their relief or welfare. :"

BONUS BENEFIT
TO U. s., CLAIM
OF CHAMPIONS
Billions Put in Circulation
Will Spur Prosperity,
Advocates Say.
OPPOSED IN WALL ST.
Bill Would Cheaper Money,
View of Bankers in
New York.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Advo-
Gates of full payment of the soldier
bonus are baSing their fight on the
argument that it would have a
sound and beneficial effect on the
whole nation.
They claim that the $2,0OO,000, 900
of new money the bonus would put
into circulation would restore COM
modify prices and revive a degree
of prosperity.
Senator Thomas dem, Okla0
who has bill in the senate similar
to the Patr1an measure in the
house, has returned from visit to
New York, where he discussed bonus
legislation with leading bankers.
Il early discovered that economic
legislation was not written in
Washington" Thomas said. 1T is
written in Wall Street, and if the
leaders there approve it, congress
puts it's rubber stamp on it. So I
went TO New York.
More Money Needed
Governor Harrison of the federal
reserve bank agreed that the coun-
try needed more money in circula-
ton, but claimed that the federal
reserve board was putting it in cir
culation by building government
bonds. 1 showed him that it was
not putting it in circulation fast
enough.
"Other bankers, recognized as the
brains of Wall Street, think the bill
will cheaper money. Others think
it will interfere with their control
over the money market.
IF we can raise commodity prices
I am for the bill-and they all admit
it will raise them
Benefit, Says Patman
Representative Patman Dem,
Tex, house leader of the bonus
advocates, is convinced that "all we
have to do is show the people that
the payment of the bonus will bene-
fit the country
He questioned the accuracy of
statements by National Commander
Henry L. Stevens of the American
Legion that only twenty three le-
gion posts are for the bill.
Literally hundreds are for it
and the rank and file of the legion
are for it," he said.

farmers the quiet spoken boss"

Therefore, economic recovery is
retarded every time wages are

 The measure, the fourth of the great annual supply bills, carried total of $31,421.520.57 as conn pared with a budget estimate of S43,7O6, 7O8.e9. Funds would be used to meet urgent deficiencies in current funds.
 If approved in it's present form, passage of the deficiency bill will bring total savings effected by the house this year to more than $437,. 000,0 900. Similar economies are predicted by democratic leaders for tho seven major appropriation bills as yet unreported.
 By far the bulk of the funds carried in the deficiency bill must be used for payment of internal revenue tax refunds. A total of $2S,O00, ,000 is allotted for this purpose.

Little Theater to Present Philip Barry's First
 Play

"Richard c. Herndon presents H. E. Warner In the Harvard prize play You and r by Philip Barry at the Belmont theater." It must have been with somewhat of a thrill that young MT Barry, still 8 student at Professor George Pierce Bakers, 47 Workshop at Harvard. read this announcement on Feb ruary 19, 1923 his first play to be produced on Broadway. It must have been with eagerness that he and his friends rushed for the papers the next morning to see what the critics had to say. And he cannot have been disappointed. Almost without exception they hailed him as new luminary in the theatrical world-a young man who would go far. The press agents had no need to cull the few en- couraging adjectives from de- pressing review for their advertise ments, as there were whole para graphs ready for their. use. John Corbin in the New York Times was particularly enthusiastic. He ac- claimed You and r. as q surpris- ing and delightful exception to the ordinary run of callow and arti- ficial prize plays. He described 1t as Q comedy which is technically good by professional standards and which has, besides. D genuine spirit of youth and a genuine cleverness, a facile abundance of quips and an unfailing felicity in the comedy of character" "The situation" he said. was one of unusual fresh- ness and human purport; the story was handled in satisfactorily worllmanlike manner and the char acters were depicted with genuine sentiment and charm MT Carl Garner noted that these characters furthermore, were real people, not stage props, and represented group of American society which could be differentiated and distin- guished and that MT Barry put into their mouths with astonishing facility and truth words that such Americans really speak.
 The central problem of You and I" is one which has vexed many a young man of today as well as sundry contemporary phil osophers and psychologists. In world that calls always for more and moro highly trained special ists. 1t becomes increasingly diffi- cult for these specialists to marry and have children when they arc still young. A man is torn between following career which may be ultimately the most satisfactory for him and making compromises with his ideals for the sake of the immediate good of U happy mnr- riage. MT Barry presents tho prob. lem in terms of concrete living. You may see how his characters work out the problem If you come to the Little Theater's production of this play next Wednesday and Thursday nights, January 4th and 9th at the Waterbury Women's

 Kimball, in contrast to Rauten- strauch's picture of increasing technical efficiency, sketched a mechanical civilization which ai- ready had passed the point or greatest efficiency and maximum results. He disagreed with critics who told that the machine had im- paired tho security of the masses.
 q can find no evidence" Kim ball said, 'that the life of tho com mon worker has become worse through machine methods. How ever, unemployment must be checked" He recommended tho following measures to achieve that result:
 0The working week should be x1ortened. A Foreign markets must be devel- oped to take surplus products ana to provide materials that are not produced domestically.
 Manufacturing must be freed from the incubus of speculation.
 There should be a balancing or production and consumption through mutual agreement or pro- ducing and marketing groups.
 The overhauling of banking ana financial methods which prevent industry from finding itself is ur- gently necessary.
 Advancement must provide great CT security for workers against un- employment. poverty and old age.

 That leaves it to the fish to de- termine how long MT Hoover re- mains!
 The president had expert guid- ance today. He went to sea in the fishing sloop Orca, command ed by Captain Herman Gray, a veteran fisherman. In another sloOp, the Miss Sally, were Mrs Hoover and toher women guests of the party.
 Capt Gray, before leaving, was almost certain that Mir Hoover would catch fish. He has tried on two previous occasions on this cruise, but both times the fish were not biting.
 He's a good fisherman" Capt Gray said. He took the president fishing when he came to Florida three years ago. "If they're bit- ing he ought to hook few" The president was late in ar- irving at Palm Beach last night, due to slow progress of the Sequoia
