suspected of having participated In
the attack on Mrs. Massie, the &C.
cused naval officer came through a
soaring cross-examination and finish

Kahahawai which he said he had OBJ
tanned from the other defendants,
Mrs. Fortescue, E. j. Lord and Albert

titled he had no direct remembrance
of the tragedy.
The witness said he had stood daz-

La Guardia, himself a veteran,
made known his views as he took the
witness stand as the first to put his
opposition to full payment of the
bonus before the house ways and
means committee.
Advocates Of the payment through
a two billion-d dollar currency initiation,

Shortly before the days hearings
opened, Representative Mapes (Rep.,
Micho, announced his opposition to
full payment of the bonus on the
ground the treasury was in no shape
to pay 1t now and the money infla-
ton plan Is unsound.
La Guardia said the committee
should consider whether the Amer
lean people through congress have
properly provided for the veterans"
"On the whole, believe that con-
gress has responded since 1919 to
every demand and every request Of the
World war veterans" he said.
La Guardia said the number of
veterans who took advantage of the
SO per cent loan value authorized last
year "far exceeded all estimates"
LAS read the history of the treat

he said, Il am just as certain as I am
standing here this morning that leg

interest charges on these loans.
Sponsors of this plan frankly adj
NIT the object is initiation. I submit,
it is hardly fair to use the veterans
for the purpose of initiating the cur
rency. That Is deflate the dollar. We
promised to pay them in good. whole
some. American dollars and we should
pay them in that"
