LAUDS
PEACE HEROES

Heroic acts of Navy and Marine
personnel in times of peace re-
quire more bravery than those per-
formed under the stress of war,
Commander Louis J. Gulliver,
skipper of the United States frigate
Constitution, declared today.
Commander Gulliver was the
principal speaker at Memorial Day
exercises of the Admiral Robert
E. Peary ship, No. 427, Veterans of
Foreign Wars, aboard the historic
vessel at the Navy Yard.
Lieut.. Comdr. Henry Hartley
pointed out the men who went
down in the submarine S-4 as the
bravest peace-time heroes of those
he knew.
He said they we're in constant
communication with those seeking
to raise the submarine and knew
that death was only matter of
time. He said:
"They never once complained
or asked us to save them. Yet
they could feel the water rising
and the air becoming foul and
knew that death was certain"
The Washington times., 1932-05-30

Tributes to the memory of
the nations dead are being
paid today in the national
cemeteries and at other patri-
otic shrines near Washington.
A three-day observance of Me-
mortal Day came to it's climax to-
day with a parade here of vet
erans' organizations, led by the
rapidly dwindling ranks of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
The parade formed at Seventh
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue
Northwest, and its route led along
the Avenue to Seventeenth Street,
thence to E Street to disband.
Many Groups in Line
Organizations represented in the
parade included the United Span
ish War Veterans, Veterans of
Foreign Wars, American Legion,
Disabled American Veterans of the
World War, Veterans of Indian
Wars and American Veterans of
Hellenic Descent.
Meanwhile, memorial services
were being held at the Soldiers
Home under auspices of the United
Spanish War Veterans, and on
board the famous frigate Consti-
tuition, also by a Spanish War Vet
erans' post. At Catholic Univer-
sity exercises were held in connec-
tion with the George washington
Bicentennial.
This afternoon, Arlington Gene

Loss of Left Leg Less
Serious Than Right,
War Records Show

War veterans who have lost
one leg live longer if the miss
ing limb is the left one, &C
cording to the records of the
Pension Bureau.
The four oldest Civil War
veterans in national soldiers
homes have lost their left leg,
which Colonel Wadsworth, di-
rector of the bureau, attributes
to the strange fact that vet
erans who suffer the loss of the
right leg die much earlier than
those who lose their left"
The pension records also
show that Government has
spent $4,000 supporting a col
ored man who lost a leg in the
Memphis campaign. The man
has lived in an Ohio soldiers
home for IS years.

QUINTET STOLE
GAS, ELUDED
PURSUIT
Safe Dial Believed Thrown
From Auto, Found at Jeffer-
son and Canal SITS. N. W.

Police today were searching
for four men and a woman fol-
lowing a series of hold-ups last
night in various sections of the
city.
Elmer Jones. colored, of 212 D
st. N. W., told police the quintet
held him up at Second and D
Streets Northwest and robbed
him of 81. He said the two
bandits were riding in a small
car with a man and woman in
the rumble seat. After robbing
him, he said, they warned him
not to move and drove away.
Eludes Police Car
A cal answering the same
description entered a gasoline
station at Sixth and K Streets
Northwe.t, a short time later.
The driver ordered the tank to be
filled with gasoline, according to
Charles Applegate, manager of
the station. When the latter
went to the driver for payment,
he narrowly escaped being struck
with heavy wrench. At this
point a police radio car drove
by and as the bandits sped down
the street the policemen gave
chase. The bandit car, however,
eluded them after pursuit of sew
eral blocks.
About an hour later, police went
to Jefferson and Canal Streets
Southwest, where the machine
had been reported seen. But the
car had gone.
Safe Dial Found
Nearby was found the dial of
safe, leading police to believe that
the bandits had a safe in the car
and were trying to open it.
Benjamin Richards, 3579
Warder st. N. w., told police he
was held up and robbed of $3.50
by two colored men who hired his
taxi at Fourteenth and Church
Streets Northwest.
Claude Saunders, 80, of $40
Lyons Pl. N. w., reported to po-
lice he was also held up and
robbed of $40 at New Hampshire
Avenue and Riggs Pl. N. w., by
two coloredd men who hired his
taxi near Fifteenth and U Streets
Northwest.
Two men are being held for in

THREATEN
To DESERT
{. D. P.
Leaders Demand Party Reject
Any and All Appeal Plans;
Vets File Counter Threat

National dry organizations
today threatened to desert the
Republican fold unless it con-
tinues unequivocally arid, while
from the other side of the pro-
hibition fence came demands
for an outright repeal plank in
the party's presidential plat
form.
AS prohibition leaders gathered
here for their meeting which be-
gins tomorrow it was hinted that
the dryS may withdraw support
from the Republican party which
they so earnestly upheld in 1928
if a resubmission plank is nailed
on to the presidential platform.
Women Are Active
The dry meeting is sponsored
by the National Prohibition
Board of Strategy, the Aati-Sa-
loon League and 38 affiliated or
ganizationS.
Both parties will be subjected
to demands for dry planks by
the woman's national commit
tee for law enforcement, accord
ing to Mrs. Henry w. Peabody,
chairman.
A national convention Of
women will be held in Chicago
June 13 to protest any suggested
alteration of the national pro-
bition laws.
G. O. p. Is WHrned
Meanwhile Henry w. Curran,
president of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amend
ment, warned Republican leaders
that they would "elect a Demo
crat" unless they inserted a plat
form plank that would not fall
short of outright repeal of re-
submission.
