Legion Stands Pat
 Against The Bonus
Nat Commander Henry L. Stevens Reiterates Mandate
 of Convention at Detroit Last September

Indianapolis, Ind.--- Henry l.. Stevens, Jr, national commander of the American Legion, Thursday issued the following signed state ment:
 During the past week the press of the country has carried varying news articles purporting to give the attitude of the national com mander and the American Legion on the immediate payment of the adjusted service certificates issued to veterans of the World war Having made g. statement which defined the position of the Legion find that my statement has been, in some instances. amplified. and has been made the basis of im- proper conjecture or assumptions. To clarify the situation, I believe a further statement f the position of the American Legion on the subject should be made. Z
 The attitude of the American Legion on this subpect was deter mined by the action of the ,na- tional convention in Detroit last September. A resolution endors- ing the principle of immediate cash retirement upon application of the adjusted service certifices' was presented to this convention, and, after lengthy debate, during which those favoring the resolu- ton and those opposed were given full opportunity to presetn their views, the resolution was defeated on a roll call vote of 902 to 507.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-20

"Following this act, t,ion, a reso1u. ton submitted as a majority re. port of the convention committed on legislation was adopted. The resolving clause of this resolution is as follows:
 Therefore, be it resolved, that the American Legion in full possession of its limitless faith in the destiny of the nation we fought to preserve, calls upon the able-bodied men of America, rich and poor, veteran, civilian and statesman, to refrain from placing n n n e c essary financial burdens upon national, state or municipal government s and to unite their efforts as they all did in 1917 to the end that the war against depression be victorious ly concluded, prosperity and hap piness restored
 'The above action constitutes the mandate given me by our high est legislative authority, and the American Legion is bound by it.
 This mandate is clear cut and unmistakable. It authorizes no action, but clearly restraints the American Legion from asking for the immediate payment of the adjusted service certificates.
 "All my statements to the press or otherwise have been in accord with the above.
 HENRY L. STEVENS, JR.
 National Commander"

z The sudden stimulating of inter- sest in planting gardens in honor of yGeorge Washington in this year of sBicentennial celebration, brings to
 mind certain facts in the history or floral culture in this country.
 ( According to the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission, history shows that Wherever men came to set foot on sthe shores of the new world, It Is Nnotable that fragrance met them; land over all the beauties and won- Sders to which the earliest writers abear witness, each in his own way. wfhey encountered sweet odors, per- sfume of flowers and fragrant gums eand spices. Gardens of the red men were already old, when the white Smen came. Indians raised fruits, enaelons. walnutS, cucumberS, skourds, peas and divers roots and fruits. It is obvious that until both Wilderness and savage had been subdued, little thought could be Eiven to the cultivation of any plant that had no definite economic value. Here and there a single flower, undoubtedly brought across the sea, was nurtured for it's sen- timental value, not for any lack of snatura1 flowers.
 The precious seeds of well-loved favorites were committed to the strange soil, and our own gardens proudly show many handsome blooms which are the direct de- scendants of these early ancestors which bravely reared heads in new surroundings under strange skies. Among those were: gillif1owers, carnations, sweet Williams, sweet Johns, Hollyhocks.
 The Dutch colonists were mas ters of gardening. When Hudson's Dutch sailors and the Cavaliers first landed the first thing they brought off to the ship was as

BOTH COURAGEOUS,
L|KEABLE YOUTHS
Pete, Night Watchman's Son,
Roberts Pater Wealthy.
Nichols Dies Hard.
BY EARL RUBY.

bI EANL nSD1.
T OUISVILLE, KY, July 23.-
Two boys by the name OF
l. Miller, both just old enough
to vote, one the son of a
wealthy real estate man in Chi
cago and the other the son OF a
night watchman in shipyard in
Jacksonville, are fighting it out
today for the public links golf
championship of the United
States in the final round at the
Shawnee Golf Club in this city.
The Windy City Miller, whose first
name Is Pete and whose last was MilllaS
when his dad came to this country
from Greece many years ago defeated
Talbot Boyer, 2l-ycar-old city cham
picn of Portland, Greg, by and 2 in
the semi-fnals.
The Southerner, whose given name is
Robert. but who is known to all as
"R. L." conquered Al "Scotty' Camp
bell, 18-year- -old high school titlist OF
Seattle, Wash. by the same margin his
finals opponent earned over Boyer. The
noisy and unruly crowd of more than
1900 persons, which followed Pete, re-
manned around the sixteenth green to
see the finish of R. LIS quest.
DETE earned the right to compete in
I the semi-finals by eliminating Joe
Nichols. the medalist from Long
Beach, by l up in the quarter-fi finals.
Robert eliminated Oliver Sloppy, also
from Long Beach, by and 2. Camp
bell drew the privilege of playing Rob-
ert by conquering Curtis Bryan of Jack
sonville. and 3, and Boyer advanced
to his match with Robert by crushing
Ade Fordham Of st. Paul, the public
links champion of Minneapolis, 6 and 5.
Pete is short. stocky, dark, with
straight coal black hair, and a smile
that never says. He was city cham
pion of Chicago in 1928 and lost to
Nichols in the fifth round of the same
joust this season. He has no worries,
unless it might be the fear of putting
on weight.
DOBERT also is short. but lean and
X sandy haired His personality
jumps right out at you and shakes
your hand. as does Pete's. He worked
as an assistant pro in Jacksonville in
1929, but was reinstated as an amateur
the following season by Gansom De-
pew, chairman of the Public Links Sec
ton Committee Of the U. S. G. A. Sew
eral months ago he got a job in
bakery, but lost 20 pounds in II weeks
and was forced to quit. He says he still
has two notches to go in his belt be-
fore he reaches normal weight again.
Both lads displayed splendid courage,
great skill and youthful cockiness.
Neither entertained a thought Of miss
ing wood, an iron or putt, and
neither missed often.

Condensed, the whole situation re-

The club decided a year ago that a
performer, once defeated, was out OF
that particular tournament and no
longer merited the bounty of the club.
The players, on the other hand, held
that they rightfillly were guests Of the

Straight Off Tee

Al HOUGHTON of Kenwood is a
n happy lad today. The former
amateur, who now holds down the
professional berth at the KenWood Club,
has succeeded at last in shat.ering the
old course record for his home layout,
after nearly year of effort. And when
he busted that record of &c, first made
by Walter w. Cunningham, he did a
good job, smacking the record for a
loop and lowering the mark by three
sho;s. Houghton played the Kenwood
course yesterday in 63 strokes, nine
better than par. and five strokes better
than the official record made by Tom
my Armour in the National Capital
open last Fall.
He was playing with c. Powell Grady,
manager of the club, DR.. Selden M.
Ely. M. E. Irwin and John Shorey.
Houghton's first nine was spectacular.
He secured no fewer than six brides
to get out in 80, six strokes better than
par.
Here Is his card, with par for the
