DETRo1T. April -. = Baby
- Lindbergh, born to the purple
Of American aristocracy, may be
the kidnapped prize Of Detroit's
dread terrorist mob. the Purple
Gang. That's the word passing
through gang circles here.
Since the Lindbergh baby van
ished, police throughout the coun-
try have been hunting for Harry
Fleisher, one of the leaders of the
gang that had been poisoning De-
troit's night life for decade and
a half. The search has been vain.
Harry Fleisher was one Of the
big shots" of a band that has
grown from a frowsy coterie of
kids. They started with stealing
groceries. They have grown into
an organization of killers, kid
napers, hijackers, liquor runners,
alcohol statesmen, extortionists,
bombers, thieves, swindlers and So
called muscle men.
I'VE were not born to the pur-
pie" one of the gang chieftains
once said, but we will get there
just the same"
That the Lindbergh kidnapping
may have been the purple dream
Of these crime graduated alley
rats has been one of the theories
of the police since the baby-and
Harry Fleisher-disappeared.

Il thing is what racketeer-
wise Detroiters are, saying. I'VE
don't know how they are in it, but
we know they are. It's Just the
kind of a yellow dog trick the
Purple Gang would go for"
Police and newspapers often
have heralded the doom of the
mob. But always it has turned
up again, stronger and holder
than before.
When Detroit was appalled, by
its first wholesale machine gun
murder, the Purple boys were
found to be responsible. When

NEW YORK, April 14.-Heroes
who died and men who lived to be
called towards during night and
day of horror twenty years ago,
when the Titanic was cracked by
deadly, unseen iceberg and went
down with 1913 passengers, were
recalled today by survivors.
They planned services Friday in
honor of those who persisted during
that dramatic, hopeless night while
the Cunarder Carpathia speeded
toward the scene, eventually pick
ing up I'll survivors.
The White Star liner. at that
time the greatest ocean-going vessel
ever built, struck the iceberg on her
first voyage across the Atlantic. Most
of the victims were men who gave
women and children first call on
places in the Ydeboats.

Tax Justice Group Head Points to

Voluntary acceptance OF salary

there is a way of cutting expenses
despite mandatory salary laws. The

AS a matter Of fact, dis
ability allowance is a plain
service pension given to in
dividuals who have been
damaged permanently to some
degree in civil life long after
the war.
They may have been run over by
automobiles, hurt in factories, gone
insane, or suffered some disability
due to tuberculosis or other dis
ease.
Little Qualification Needed
The only qualifications connected
with this law are: That the vet
eran must have been in the service
ninety days during the World war,
and that he is ineligible if he paid
federal income taxes prior to the
year in which he claims the pen
sionS.
A 25 per cent permanent disabil-
ity nets $12 monthly; a so per cent
disability brings $18 month; 70
per cent disability, $24, and a total
permanent disability, $40.
Since other laws give this class
of men free disqualification, these
allowances, in many cases, simply
mean an additional gratuity to a
group who are purely casuals OF
civil life.
Hundreds of these veterans re-
ceive more than mothers or widows
or children who lost their only
support in the actual fighting.
There now are 353,744 individuals
getting this pension. The number
is mounting at the rate of almost
$4,000 month.
Many Given Allowance
On June 80 last--the end of the
governments fiscal year-229, 1868
has received disability allowance. A
study of the awards shows that, just
as in other World war benefits, the
greater number is receiving the
smallest award. Sixty-one per cent
are getting $12 a month, "a per cent
$1S, per cent $24, and 8 per cent
$40.
More than half of the men on the
disability allowance pay roll had
been importuning the government
for money before 1880, with claims
that their troubles were due to
their war service. Despite the very
liberal construction congress has
put upon service-c connected disabil-
tiles, these ex-soldierS we're unable
to prove their cases and compen-
sation was denied. Then congress
obligingly legislated them on to the
federal pay roll.
An additional Is per cent of those
receiving awards had at some time
or other been getting money from
| the rest of the taxpayers on the
ground of service connected dis
ability.
Back on Compensation Rolls
In most cases it was discovered
subsequently that their disabilities
had been less than 10 per cent and
they were removed from the COM
pensation rolls. The new legisla-
ton put them back on.
More than two-thirds of the APP
plications for this type of benefit
were from veterans who never be-
fore had made claim for any dis
ability compensation. Seventeen per
cent of the applicants we're turned
down because they were discovered
trying to get on two pay rolls at
once. That is, they already were
in receipt of service connected COM
pensation.
Sixty per cent of those who ap-
piled, and whose claims were dis
allowed, had less than the required
Is per cent permanent disability.
Only Q per cent Of the claims were
rejected because it was discovered
the veteran had paid an income
| tax.
Estimates of just how much the
disability allowance pension is go
ing to cost are well nigh impossible,
| but within another year the expen-
