DETROIT, November %. - For the
first time in his SO years, Henry Ford
was hospital patient today, recovering
from an operation for relief from
strangulated femoral hernia and for re-
moval Of his appendix.
A series of bulletins from the sick
room in the hospital that bears his
nsme gave reiterated assurance that
the motor magnate was making Salts
factory progress.
From unofficial but professional
sources. however, came word that the
crisis" following such operations usual
ly occurs about 48 hours later.
In the case Of Mr.. Ford that would
be late today, for the operation was
performed about pm. Saturday. In
his favor we're his previous good health,
for it was his boast that "I have never
been sick a day in my life," and the
fact that a new type of anaesthetic
used in the operation imposed min
imum Of strain upon his heart
The bulletins were terse but opti-
mistic The latest, at IL pm, said the
patient bad good day and his con-
dition Is satisfactory" A 4:3O pm.

100 and his pulse as TO- In the present
case no news is construed as good news,

Cured
That the concern for Mr.. Fords re-
covery is world wide was proved by the
flood Of messages. No list was made
public Of prominent well wishers, but
person close to the family said that
messages had been received from Pres
ident Hoover, George v, King Of Eng
land; Mussolini and many others.

LEGION TO FIGHT
| FOR new BENEFITS
Announces Program to Fore
stall Threatened Reduc-
ti0ns in Allowances,
1y the Associated-Press

1y the Associated Press.
To forestall threatened reductions ir
allowances to former soldiers of al
wars, the American Legion is under
taking counterattack to gain new
benefits for new World War veterans in
the coming Congress
The plan as described today at Legion
headquarters, involves four major points
including the bonus-which would
cost upward of s2,50o,0oo,0oo in 10
years.
The Legion. said officials, is proceed
ing on the theory that the justice OF
the things they think are needed should
decide the fate of legislation rather
than any need for economy.
Program Outlined.
AS outlined, the program calls for:
Immediate cash payment of the ad-
5usted compensation certificates, requir-
ing around $4,000 900, 900.
Pensions for widows and orphans OF
World War veterans, which the Veter-
ans Administration estimates would
cost $13,531 900 the first year and $454,-
060,0 the first 10 years.
Amendment Of existing law to per-
init the presumption that veterans
ASKING for disqualification or other ben
efits for some constitutional diseases
contracted those ailments while in the
service This would cost near S12,-
100000 the first 10 years, it is esti-
mated.
Establishment of q special Senate
committee to handle veterans legisla-
tion only.
Bonus Not Immediate.
The bonus, Legion officials say, "can
wait a while" But, proposing to push
the other legislation for immediate
action, they say that justice demands
payment Of the compensation certifl-
Gates, too. When that comes along,
they claim, 1T is not our problem to
say how the money can be raised"
They point out, though, that every re-
cent issue Of Government securities has
been oversubscribed five or six to one.
So far, the Legion's campaign has
been limited to educational work back
home" sending to various posts in
formation to support the proposed laws
Soon congressional aid will be sought.
Meanwhile, the Legion is using sim
1lar backbone" methods to counter
act the drives of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce and the National
Economy League for reduction in vet
Grams allowances. The principal argu-
ment is that adoption of the changes
proposed by these two organizations
would simply take the burden off the,
Federal Government and shift it to the
States.
