Aid Limited to Delegates.
The statement that only duly accred-
tied delegates to the National Veterans
Liaison Committee convention" and no
others will be fed and housed at Gov
ernment expense during the coming six
days was sharply stressed in radio
speeches delivered last night under the
auspices Of the committee on Nation

chains
Representative Connery of Massachu-
setts, himself an advocate Of cash pay
ment of the bonus, urged veterans in
stead Of coming here to educate" their
friends and neighbors on the bonus
question
George D. Brady, chairman OF the
committee stressed the necessity for
sending only duly accredited delegates
to the convention. who should be elected
at mass meetings of honorably dis
charged eX-service men, on the basis
of 20 from each congressional district.
Senator Elmer Thomas, Democrat, OF
Oklahoma. speaking on the same pro-
gram. said any program adopted at the
convention would receive the careful
and sympathetic consideration OF the
President and Congress.
Confers on Bonus.

w. Douglas. director of the budget,
began a conference with Democratic
members of the House Ways and
Means Committee over the question
of bonus payment. The budget chief,
who was instrumental in drafting regu-
lations to slash some 100000 900 from
veterans benefits, sought to gauge
sentiment in the House toward pay
ment OF bonus certificates.
1t also developed that President
Roosevelt himself has discussed the
question with Democratic leaders in
Congress, but no conclusion was reached
in either conference. One argument
which has been advanced by bonus
payment advocates in Congress has
been that this method should be one
used In spreading new currency which
might be issued under the imitation
bill
There was no indication, however.
that the administration has changed
its opposition to payment of the bonus
at this time, and the conferences were
regarded as simply survey of the
situation. preparatory possibly to moves
by the President for heading off any
concerted movement in Congress to
raise the issue.

SURE To BREAK
RECORD, SAYS
CAMPBELL
Auto Speed Limit Is Not Yet
In Sight, Racer Thinks;
Off for Florida

NEW YORK, Feb. l G.NSJ
Sir Malcolm Campbell, en- route
today to Daytona Beach, Fla, for
an attempt to break his speed
record of 1896 miles an hour
with his rebuilt racer, Blue Bird.
forsees the day when that speed
will be far outstripped.
Asked whether there was any
limit, within reason, to the speed
of a human being in racing
automobile, the British sports,
man replied:
std say no. We must take
improved tires and equipment
into consideration. Although
present-day tires won't stand
the strain at more than $50
miles per hour, they are being
improved annually. The new
est tires are cooler at 300 miles
an hour than they were at $50
last year."
The king of racing drivers
pointed out great strides had
been made in the last seven
years. He said:
I'm 1881 the record was 246
miles per hour. In 1926 it was
only 2O6.9, which shows how
equipment is cOmins on"
Discussing a controversial point,
that a mans mind reacts faster
as he grows older, Sir Malcolm
declared he was improving, as a
driver along with his car.
He plans to make his attempt
on February 10. Weather pros
poets for that date, when the
moon will be full, are good.
"In the old Blue Bird 1 did
267 miles an hour with the
wind, using a motor with 1,5OO
horsepower. The rebuilt car
has $500 horsepower"
Sir Malcolm still is ill and a
bit shaky from an influenza at
tack, but hopes to be in good
shape by February 10. He said:
I'll have to be. 1t seems
like an eternity going down
that measured mile. Actually
that eternity. is being reached
at the rate of 13O yards per
second, or approximately be-
tween 13 and IA seconds alto
gether. It's an eternity last
ing IA seconds"

STATE SENATOR
FACING LONG
JAIL TERM
Brief Attacks Judge and the
Members of Jury That
! Convicted Him

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. Reversal
Of the conviction OF State Sena-
ator Emory L. Coblentz on the
charge of accepting deposits in
one of the banks which he
headed, when he knew the inSti-
tuition to be inSolvent, is being
sought in the court of appeals
today.
Coblentz was indicted by a
Howard county grand jury last
year for accepting a $316.50 de-
posit in the Washington Trust
Company of Ellicott City on the
eve of its closing it's doors. The
case was heard in the Allegany
county circuit court where Cob
lentz was found guilty and SEN
fenced to 18 months in the house
Of correction.
In the brief filed by counsel
for Coblentz it is asserted that
the banker-politician believed
that the bank could meet its OBJ
legations, as it had always done
throughout its 20 years of busi-
ness life"
He was indicted, the plea
claims "by a grand jury, in
structed by an admittedly un-
qualified judge and having among
its members persons pecuniarily
interested. as we'll as prejudiced
in the matter on which it had
to pass. He was convicted of
the acceptance of a deposit of
which he had no knowledge"
Coblentz, the plea claims, put
his personal wealth of about
$1,000,000 as we'll as the re-
sources of his family, behind the
bank.

RED SOX MAY PROVE E.
. FLAG THREAT IN "a.
Boston Team Bracing Under
Collins SWay-Ex-Yank
Pitchers Producing.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

n 1EW YORK, July 26.-The
M Boston Red Sox are not
l \ bothered by pennant as
pirations, but it must be
observed that the team has shown
much improvement in the last
few weeks It's latest feat in set
ting back the Chicago White Sox
in five straight games has sent
some of the Boston graybeards
scurrying to the record books to
find out when a Red SoX team
ever acted like this before.
Four weeks ago the Red Sox took a
decided brace by trouncing the Ath-
letics in double header Then they
ran along getting $3.50 break, during
which they lost one game of 13 innings
and another of ID innings. Some Of the
clubs that opposed the once recumbent
Red Sox found they had their hands
full.
All told, since the Fourth of July the
Red Sox have won two more games
than they lost-and if that isn't bet
ter record than last years Boston team
made, then Eddie Collins doesn't know
base ball from mumbley-peg.
