VETERANS Of GRAY
PARADE IN CAPITAL
Remnant of Confederate
Forces Carried Up Ave-
nue. in Automobiles.

Falling into line behind group Of
mounted survivors of Forests Cavalry,
famed Civil War brigade, a feeble rem
nant of the once magnificent armies of
the Confederacy, moved from the Plaza
of Union Station this morning to pass
in review down the ceremonial avenues
Of the Capital.
Climaxing the forty-seccnd annual
reunion of the United Confederate Vet
Grams, which ended yesterday in the
familiar surroundings of Richmond, the
city which they defended, the parade
today was joined by other veteran or
ganizations, headed by the Sons of
Confederate Veterans, acting as hosts
to the visitors
1t included, too, patriotic, fraternal
and civic groups, and service units
from the branches of the Government S
military establishment, gay with the
panoply of war and the festoons OF
peace, marching again as escort to the
survivors OF the Army of the Confed-
eraCy.
Automobiles Provided.
The men in gray, however, were not
destined to tramp the length of historic
pennsylvania avenue to the strains of
martial music. For them were provided
a caravan of automobiles, draped with
tattered and torn battle flags. The
banners of the Confederacy were flying,
not in defiance, but in proud kinShip
to the Stars and Stripes under whose
folds sons and grandsons of Confeder-
ate veterans fought and died in the sub
sequent conflicts of 1898 and 1917.
Riding IN the van were Gen. Homer
I. Atkinson, new commander in chief
of the United Confederate Veterans. and
Gen. C. A. De Saussure, his predecessor
together with Gen. william NICK
Evans, commander of the Army OF
Northern Virginia. Maj. Robert S
Hudgins rode as grand marshal of the
parade.
Assembling at B street, the parade
moved westward to First street and
thence south toward Pennsylvania ave-
nue. entering that broad thoroughfare
In the shadow of the Peace Monument
| dedicated TO the memory of men who
died in defense of their country in the
selfsame conflict of which these aging
veterans are survivors. AS they passed
the gray-clad figures proudly lifted their
heads in tribute to the memory of their
departed comrades
Led by Cavalrymen.
The procession moved westward
toward the White House, while throngs
turned out on the sidewalks to watch
the colorful parade. The survivors OF
the commands of Fitzhugh Lee, Stuart
Longstreet and Early were numbered In
the column. The mounted few who
represented Forests Cavalry may never
again lead such a formation.
In a reviewing stand on Constitution
avenue a group OF nota5les awaited the
arrival OF the marching units and as
the fiashily attired men of the United
States Army Band hove into view heads
were barred and hands went up in salute
Those to view the parade officially in

IN $4,000 SHORTAGE
Culver City Former Treasurer Ac-
cused of Using Funds in Stcck

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, June 25.--Volul-
tarily surrendering to authorities and
explaining a shortage of about $4,000
in his accounts, CsSs z. Ecker, Culver
City treasurer for four years preceding
last April, was held in the county Jan
on charges of embezzlement.
After statement was taken at the
district attorneys office here yesterday,

bonds placed with the city by banks for
deposits Of city funds.
Ecker's attorney, Lawrence Scherb OF
Culver City, said the money was used
by Ecker in attempting to replace $500
he had loaned a friend. A declining
market caused Ecker to use more bonds
in an attempt to recoup. Scherb said.
Ecker. a, came to Culver City in 1922
from Minnesota. He resigned his COM

tain in 1920. He is married and has

BLAINE ASKS FOOD
FOR BONUS ARMY
BicentenniaI ASsaiIed in Plea
for Bill in Senate-Jones
Joins Attack.

Senator Blaine, Republican, of Wis
consin. appealed to the Senate Appro-
priatiors Committee today to prepare
a bill providing public funds for food
shelter and transportation for the
bonus expeditionary forces in Wash
ington
The plea followed a bitter attack by
Blaine on an item in the independent
Offices appropriation bill carrying $780,
900 for the George Washington Bicon-
tennial Commission.
Blaine declared that nobody ever
goes to see the parades staged by the
commission" and Ae thought it was
foolish" to waste public money on
celebrations commemorating the BIZ
centennial of the birth of Washington
while hundreds of unemployed hungry
former service men are in Washington
seeking relief.
Attacked BY Jones.
Senator Jones, Republican, of Wash
ington also condemned the Bicenten-
NAL celebration, saying he believed that
most of the events staged thus far have
been almost farce"
IF George Washington could walk
the streets today" Blaine declared, "he
would say: Feed these hungry men
George Washington doesn't need
these parades to commemorate his
memory or his work. 1t is a terrible
exhibition of extravaganza and ingrati-
tude and not worthy of the Congress
of thte United States which appropri-
ated funds for the celebration. 1t Is
a sad spectacle to see bands, uniforms
and horses in all their glory on one
hand, and, on the other had, to see
these men who went overseas in all
their misery right here in the Nations
CAPITAL"
The discussion over the appropria-
ton for the Bicentennial Commission
was opened by Senator Norris, Repub-
lican, of Nebraska, who declared that
"a great deal of money already has been
spent by the commission"
Even the people in Washington" he
said, don't know the celebrations are
going on. Congress knows it only when
it is asked for money"
Senator Blaine then said there was a
parade in Washington today, but he
didn't know it until he was forced to
break his way through veritable army
of policemen TO reach the Capitol.
No Visitors In City.
There were no visitors here for that
parade" he said, land nobody was on
the streets 1t is a foolish waste of
money to put on these demonstrations
which mean very little so far as the
public good Is concerned"
Senator Jones explained to Blaine
that the Appropriations Committee of
which he is chairman could not initiate
a bill to provide funds for the Bonus
Expeditionary Forces and that such
proposed legislation should originate in
the District Committee If the District
Committee recommends the legislation,
Jones said he felt Congress might ap-
prove it,
Senator Blaine incidentally paid a
high tribute to Brig. Gen. Pelham D.
Glassford. declaring that the police
superintendent had been very faith
full" under existing circumstances in
looking after the welfare of the war
veterans.

FRANCE STUDIES PROPOSAL.
HerriOt Says Hoover Plan OverlOoks
Possibilities OF Coalitions.

Possibilities OF Coalitions.
PARIS, June 25 GP.-President
HooverS proposal for a one-third cut In
the worlds armamentS will be consider
ed lin the most serious spirit by the
nations conferring at Geneva, Premier
Herriot said today after a meeting Of
the cabinet
Anything which comes from Presi-
dent Hoover has a claim to thorough
consideration" he said, have read and
reread this message of his and l will
read it many times again.
In 1t there are certain clauses which
were inserted out OF regard for France,
notably a passage concerning fortiflca-
tions. Perhaps the strength of 100, 900
men which the President attributed to
the German Army is not exact but the
figure may have been a cable error"
The premier criticized the Presidents
omission OF any provision for possible
coalition of forces.
The message attributes certain ef-
fectives to nations A, B and C. but
what would happen If A and B should
join against C? You see, 1t is not
enough TO attribute a given force to
each nation we must forestall addi-
tions to these forces"
He said he did not regard the Hoo
yer proposals as hostile to France.
THE United States has made great
effort to understand the French view
point" he said, adding that one thing
that pleased him was that the Presi-
dent set no limit on defensive organiza-
tions.
However, as the thing stands now it
Is too simple. 1t does not take into
account the war potentialities of GER
tain nations Give me a choice be-
tween one company of infantry and a
munitions factory, and I'll take the fac
tory.
my feeling is that we have got to
establish an international organization
OF security"

BY GEN. JOHN ]. PERSHING.
PARIS, June Is (NANA).-The
proposal which has been presented
by President Hoover for the reduc-
ton of armaments affords con-
crete and statesmanlike plan which
should receive the immediate ap-
proval of all nations that sincerely
wish to promote peace and end the
wcrld depression.
Such a solution would be fair and
just to all concerned. Its adoption
would go far toward the removal of
jealousy and suspicion. 1t would
open TIE way fcr a better under
standing amcng nations and it would
undoubtedly lead to the peaceful
settlement of many difficult inter-
national questions.
1t will be approved by all fair
minded people.

What do announcers do when
they're not announcing? Anyone
who attempts to answer this
with a general statement would
be an optimist. But so far as
WMAL is concerned it is like
this:
Warren Sweeney practices by
the hour on the piano. In be-
tween times he listens to the
pianists on the network for
pointers.
Leonard Davis rehearses his
continuity over and over again to
himself. When he gets tired of
reciting it in the ordinary man.

Frank Young spends most of
his time playing over phonograph

with himself on the studio piano
at the same time.

Here and There
In the Realm Of
Broadcastins
r. By STANLEY BIGELoW

There's likely to be bit OF a
change in the commercial bal
lyhoo when the big advertisers
come back to radio in the fall.
Programs during the past year
have lost much of their pulling
power through the atrocious plug
ging of commodities. Sponsors
used to say they tried radio ad-
vertising simply to stir up that
elusive quantity. good will" To
the mind of this writer there can
be little good will if the public
is nauseated with blatant blurbs.
Now this fact is beginning to
permeate the elephantine cpider-
mis- of radio and sponSorial execu-
tives, with the result that much
time is being spent this summer
planning for new fall programs
that will have the maximum Of
entertainment and the minimum
of ballyhoo.
1t may be that advertisers re-
turning to the air in the autumn
will be willing to let the enter
tainment alone speak for the prod
uct. We shall see.

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. (U.Po =
Edward F.. Atwell, chief of staff of
the bonus expenditionary forces, ap-
pealed today to veterans to stay out
of Washington when congress con-
venes next month, and "give Mr..
Roosevelt chance"
He asked veterans to cooperate
in giving President-elect Roosevelt
"the whole hearted support of every
American in his endeavors to bring
back prosperity"
There is march starting on
Washington, November H. Atwell
said, land national headquarters of
the b. E. F. advise and request
all veterans not to participate. The
people of the United States by an
overwhelming vote have given our
new commander i'm chief, President
elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, their
assurance he is the man who will
solve Americas difficulties. It is now
up to the people to be good sports
and stand by that vote of conf
dence and give Mr.. Roosevelt a
chance.
Bearing in mind the, fact that
Mr.. Hoover is still President of these
United States, we do not wish to
say anything that might be con-
strued as disrespectful, but we can
not help but think that Mr.. Hoover

The last reference was to Pelham
D. Glassford, former police superin-
tendent, who resigned recently.
