would be "ruinous" to all.

a magnificent opportunity to aid the
employment situation.
Before long President Roosevelt will
suggest to Congress a program to i'm

New Faces in Congress

MATCHING rats for 10 cents per

chicken ranch, catching salmon and

receiving 10 cents an hour, four years In
a logging camp-thoSe are some Of the
things that Representative Marion A.
Zioncheck, from the first congressional
district Of Washington, has turned mis-
hand to as jack of all trades.
He was born 81 years ago In Kety,
then part Of Austria and now in Po-
land. His father operated q tannery.
The family moved to this country when
Marion was years old. The father
went to work In the Chicago stockyards
and later In packing houses on the Pa.
cific Coast while his cultured mother
took in boarders. During the long
nights on ranch young Zioncheck read
the tales Of Horatio Alger.
During the World War, too young for
the Army. he became a joiner's appren-
tice in the Olympia Shipyards, holding
card in the joiners' union.
During his four years in logging
camps he worked as whistle punk, /"
at rigging, scaling, falling tim
Der and time-keeping. He listened wide
eyed at night around the bunk houses
to wild tales of the far-famed Paul
Bunyan. It was while in the heart of
the big timber that he decided to make
the practice of law his life job. The
stories of three men particularly influ-
enced his decision-Clarence Darow,
Rufus Choate and Thomas Martin.
Then he made the big jump from
the hardy timber lands to the college
campus. He was handicapped in the
social whirl and among the pampered
co-eds by lack Of polish-besides most
OF the students were younger. He be-
came leader In campus politics among
those who were working their way
through. He went out for the crew in
his freshman year. but the former tim
ber workers reach was too short for
crew work. although the coach praised
his Craftsmanship and spirit. He soon

Demand Expected to Be Made

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. September 19.-Demands
for equitable disability compensation
and for action to curb the spread OF
communism have been drafted for
almost certain adoption by the Ameri-

State departments.
organization consider its adoption a
foregone conclusion in the national
convention October 2-5, when a quar-
ter million Legionnaires are expected
to gather in the World Fair city.
Election of Hayes Expected.
So favorable has been the reaction
to the program that its author, Ed
Hayes of Decatur, ILL.,, has come to
be considered virtually assured of elec-
ton as national commander.
One of the provisions of the four
point program calls for restoration OF
the 25 per cent reduction in compensa-
ton payments made in the economy
drive of last March.
1t also provides that compensation
to a veteran may be lowered only on
proof of improvement in his condition
that a serviceincurred disability rating
may be removed only upon proof OF
fraud, that any war veteran Is en-
titled to free Government hospitaliza-
ton if he is unable to pay and that
payments to widows and orphans OF
dependents cannot be lowered
Thousands of veterans and their de-
pendents have been reduced to suffer-
ing because of unwarranted reductions
In compensation, in some cases entire
Withdrawal of the payments" Hayes
said in making public the plans.
Biggest Convention.
'Veterans in urgent need have had
as many as half a dozen conflicting
rulings on whether their disabilities
were service incurred. We must arrive
at an equitable system of compensa-
ton
Demands for immediate payment of
the bonus-a point of dissention the
last two years-may be brought to the
floor of the convention, but only by a
minority group, convention leaders
said.
Under the heading of combating
subVerSlve influences in Government,
the Legion is expected to draft pro-
gram for opposing communism. Sug-
gestions will be obtained from Amer
icanism commissions of the Legion
which have been established in many
States.

Loop hotels to the Civic Opera Build

vious Legion conventions will be dou-
bled by the anticipated record attend

in Last Congress.

A bill to supervise and regulate the
sale Of securities in the District was
introduced yesterday by Representative
Harlan. Democrat, of Ohio.
In substance, the measure Is similar
to the proposed blue sky law, which
failed of enactment in the last Con-
gress. Harlan, however, made several
changes in the new bill, the most i'm
portant Of which includes a provision
for supervision of the sale Of securities
by banks as well as all other authorized
dealers
The bill provides for the registration
of all dealers in securities and specifi-
cally forbids sale by deception, sup
preston, fraud, false pretense or false
promise" A penalty Of a maximum
fine Of 5000 or two years imprison-
ment or both is prescribed for any
violation.
Registration Of security dealers or
statesmen would be placed in the de-
partment Of insurance Of the District.
The department also would have con-
troll over the nature Of all securities
