CAPT T.CH|SOLM
WOULD HIRE
JOBLESS
Parks Director Estimates That
B. E. F. Damage Reaches
Total of $4,000

The B. f. F., while living on
public reservations here, did
damage to those areas amount
ing to $4,000, Capt. f. N.
Chisolm, jr., assistant director
Of public buildings and grounds,
estimated today.
Although he did not name
this sum, as previously re-
ported, in appealing to the
District Commissioners, he to-
day asked Chairman Luther
H. Reichclderfer to make avail
able to the office of public
buildings and parks a part of
the $35O,00O appropriated by
Congress for unemployment
relief.
Captain Chisolm's request for
money, which he will use, he
says, to hire unemployed men
to clear up, plow and reseed
Camp Marks, Camp Meigs and
Seaton Park, where thousands of
veterans lived, is the second ap-
peal made by public building
and park officials for unemploy-
ment funds.
Made Request Earlier
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant Sd, di
rector of that office, several
weeks ago requested that funds
be made available for widespread
employment of unskilled work
men in cleaning up park areas.
Regarding his letter, Captain
Chisolm said:
Il named no specific amount
in my request, but pointed out
that the land we loaned the
District for the veterans use
suffered greatly at their hands.
We have no money available
under our own appropriation
and. in view of the fact that
we will be employing persons
otherwise unemployed, it ap-
pears a logical way of prOvid-
ing relief and at the same time
of restoring those areas dam
aged by the B. E. F."
Action Must Wait
George S. Wilson. director of
IL
that if the District would agree
to rehabilitate the camps. that
action would be deferred until
District projects h a d been
handled.
Attempts will first be made, he
said, to give employment to
needy persons on District prof.
ects. Mr.. Wilson had not been
informed of Captain Chisolm's
recommendation.

FACES
DISCIPLINE

Characterizing language used
by Attorney Jesse C. Duke in
his application for bail for four
persons convicted in a rum ring
conspiracy as "Scandalous, i'm
pertinent and defamatory," Chief
Justice George E. Martin, of the
Court of Appeals, yesterday or
dered the offensive phrases
stricken from the records.
Duke had charged Justice F.
Dickinson Let's, of District
Supreme Court, and the office of
the United States attorney with
falsifying records in the case.
The appellate court justice
said further action of dis
ciplinary nature against Duke
may be taken and to this end
ordered United States Attorney
Leo A. Rover to file with the
clerk of the Court of Appeals a
complete stenographic transcript
of testimony taken at the trial.

HOLDUPS YIELD
BANDITS S35

An armed bandit pair held up
the managers of two filling sta
tions last night.
Their first effort netted them
nothing. On tnat job they held
up John Murphy, 1904 Tenth st
N. W.. manager of filling sta
ton at Twenty-seventh and @
Streets Northwest. Before they
could search Murphy, an auto
mobile drove up to the station
and the men jumped into an
automobile and drove off without
getting any money.
The second holdup occurred at
the gas station at Cincinnati Ave
nue. and Ordway st. N. W., where
after covering the manager, Er-
nest Deahl, 44O3 New Hampshire
Ave. N. W., with pistols, they
robbed him of $35.
Two men entered the store of
George Myres, at 201 Eighth St.
S. E.. last night and, after cover
ing Miss Ethel Donaldson, the
clerk, with pistols, robbed the
cash register of $40. She said they
escaped in an automobile. Miss
Donaldson was alone in the store.

COLD To BORAH
DEBT PLANS
Politicians Watch With In
terest Idaho Senator's
Missionary Trip
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

Senator William E. Borah s
missionary trip through the
West preaching the doctrine
of American debt cancellation
in exchange for European dis
armament is being followed
closely by politicians of both
parties.
Borah is taking his magnani-
nous proposal into the very part
of the country which always has
been strongest in opposition to
debt cancellation; and because
the issue figures to some extent
in the current campaign, and
probably will figure in future
campaigns, Borah's progress be-
yond the Mississippi is being
watched with real interest.
BOrah's Proposition
Stripped of it's nebulous fea.
lures, Borahs proposition Contem-
plates tossing the $11,000,O00,000
that Europe owes the United
States on to the table at Lau-
same or Geneva and saying 20
Americas debtors, in effect:
There you are; it is yours
if you disarm."
A similar proposal advanced
more than a year ago was char
acterized by Ex-President Calvin
Coolidge as "unthinkable and
indefensible." He naively in
quired why the American tax
payer should brlbe Europe to dis
arm.
Although the Idaho Senator has
long nursed his project it has
found but comparatively little
support in Congress. The pres
ent SeVenty-second Congress was
so averse to either reduction or
cancellation of the debts that
it ignored completely President
Hoover's recommendation that the
debt funding commission be re-
created to consider adjustments.
Democrats Opposed
Since that time the Democratic
national platform has been writ

qualified plank against cancella-

TWO GIRLS HIKE
HERE ON S1.19

Clad in khaki breeches and
high boots, Margaret Fredricy, 10,
of Los Angeles, and Elmira Fred
ricy, 18, of Gary, Ind, are in
Washington after an eventful
hitch-hike which cost them $119.
Margaret had come from her
home in Los Angeles by herself.
She crossed the desert in a box
car, spent nights in police cars
and stations. After a 13-day trip
she arrived in Gary, where she
was joined by her niece, Elmira.
People, who picked them up
along the road, gave them food
and the money spent was for
trinkets. The only luggage that
Margaret and Elmira carried was
a Slicker and there seemed to be
no necessity for it.
The two girls plan to return to
California in the same manner.

ONLY 500BONUS
MEN NOT VETS,
SAYS HINES
Statement ContradiCtS Figures
Issued by Hoover, Hurley
And Macarthur

Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines,
head of the Veterans Admin
istration, estimated today that
there were about 5000 mem
bers of the Bonus Expedition
ary Force here, at the peak,
and that of these only about
500 were not bonafide World
War veterans.
This estimate differed greatly
from those made by President
Hoover. Secretary of War Hurley
and Maj. Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur, chief of staff.
President Hoover. in a message
to legion post in Boston. said
that of those who remained after
the evacuation through the aid Of
the Veterans Administration.
cnly about so per cent we're vet
Grams. Secretary Hurley, in his
statement yesterday, estimated
that about one-third of the total
were not veterans.
General Hines said the police
had registered the first $500 ar
rivals, and that 800 of these could
not be identified as veterans. He
believed, however. that this was
due largely to mistakes in initials,
addresses or military units, and
that most of them had served III
the war.
Many were too young to have
served in the army at war time,
he said. Others probably were in
the Navy or Marine Corps, and
still others probably served in
some military outfit after the
armiStice.
approximately $500 veterans
and about 500 women and chill

The cost of transportation was
$4,000, which eventually will be
paid by the veterans themselves
out of their adjusted compensa-

100000 for the purpose.
Veterans were given train
checks for transportation and
got their tickets from conductors.

JOBLESS SEEM
 TO BE FORGOTTEN

Chicago, Juno 15.-(UP)-- President Hoover's hand picked platform makers battled in a tra- ditionally smoked filled" room to- day over the phrasing of prohibi- ton plank while the farmer. the unemployed, and depressed busi- ness and industry demanded atten- ton.
 The prohibition plank destined to emerge from the committee session later to-day met charges of "straddling" by declaring there is no constitutional procedure for resubn,ission, that n modification proposal or substitute amendment would be required, and that in cf- feet would repeal the 18th amendment.
 Adoption of the plank appeared assured earlier in the all-night ses- sion when repealists such as Sem ator Hiram Bingham of Connecti- cut were "steam rollered off the drafting committee, other repeal ists were elected from the commit. | tee room, and more threats of 1 "wet" third party headed by Alfred E. Smith were voiced.
 There were many among the delegates who disnpproved the long involved debate over prohibition. particularly over phrasing which they indicated were merely an cf- fort to call tho rose by any other name.
