Acceptance of this proposal, char
acterized as a compromise between
veterans demands and taxpayers
ability to pay, is considered assured.
Already it has been approved by
more than two dozen state legion
conventions.
With the worlds fair as an extra
attraction, about 100000 legion
naires and their families are ex-
pected for the -in-one" Chi
cage conclave-the other branches
being the legion auxiliary, the 40
and 8" (hommes ct chevaux) and
its auxiliary, the facetiously- named
IS and 40 femmes ct chapeauD.
Roosevelt May Speak
An address by President Roose-
welt will be the high-point of the
four-day program of the convention
proper-if the chief executive is
able to make the trip here.
Authorship of the compromise
compensation plan is expected to
make election of Ed Hayes OF Deca-
tur, H.. to the national command
ership a mere formality, says Phil
Collins, executive vice president OF
the national convention committee.
Hayes had been Gin line" for the
post even before he drafted the
plan which has met with Vide
spread favor among legion posts.
TIE points of the Hayes plan
are:
|. That a man disabled in actual
service and awarded compensation
shall not have it reduced below
the figure that prevailed prior TO
the economy act of last March
unless decided improvement in his
condition so warrants.
2. That when mans disability
has once been declared to be SER
vice connected, his case may not be
subject to review except in case
of palpable error or fraud.
3. That a veteran of any Uni
ted States war be entitled to hos
pitalization for any disability, SER
vice connected or otherwise, II he
is unable to pay for it. CThis to
provide governmental instead OF
charitable care for those who have
served their country in war.

The case of Henry Ford furn-
ishes a prime illustration of how
the incidental enmities within in
dustries, as well as the traditional
and overshadowing enmity between
industry and labor, have been rails
ed to white heat in the great
melting pot of the MIRA.
Like steel, coal, oil, and all OF
the other great pillars of American
commerce, the automobile industry
is passing through a test from
which it may never emerge the
same.
Ford has been looked upon as the
worlds leading personification OF
rugged individualism in business.
He has eyed his business rivals
from a far distance, never aspir-
ing to be zone of the boys al
ways managing to be different.
Trough his Lincoln motor com
pany, he does hold nominal mem
bership in the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, the trade
association which drafted the auto
mobile code, but he has no repre-
sentation among the chambers
officers and takes no part in its
conduct.
Some years ago he went SO lar
as to attend one of the chambers
annual banquets in New York-to
all other motor manufacturers the
great event of the year. He was
welcomed with trumpets, and made
the lion of the evening. He did not
appear to like 1t, and he never
went again.
So with his employees. whom he
views as individuals rather than as
class. And everybody knows how
he broke with the bankers a doz-
en- years ago, and set up Ford
treasure chest in Detroit, to fin
ance his operations in a manner
all his own.

Official quarters remained silent con-

General approval of the Roosevelt
message has been expressed by Giornale

rejecting the views of the Fascist

After noisy an-day session. in which
a group o: 200 to 800 staged a walkout,
the convention closed its Washington
sessions yesterday and moved back to
Fort Hunt.
The noise throughout the sessions
was deafening. The speakers were
using electrical apparatus to magnify
their voices, and at one stage of the
game the screaming had been so loud
that the tubes blew out Twice during
the day the committee had to order
the playing Of the national anthem to
still the hubbub. The men all re-
sponded, as in their Army days. by
standing at attention in perfect silence,
but as soon as the last strains died
away the uproar began all over.
Radical Papers Torn Up.
To add to the confusion. newsboy
appeared offering copies of the Daily
Worker. the official organ OF the Com
munist party Of America. A group Of
enraged delegates hustled him out of
the hall and tore his papers to shreds.
The convention voted to adjourn
after breakfast Monday. accepting the
extension Of the hospitality of the Gov
ernment offered them by the White
House. After that. the Fort Hunt site
will be used as a conditioning camp
for the Civilian Conservation Corps.
The newspaper men covering the con-
vention were flabbergasted when the
convention roared its unanimous ap-
proval of vote of thanks offered for
their impartial and fair work in pre-
senting the facts Of the convention.
This came shortly after motion to
boycott a press association and all of
its clients had been shouted down.
Previous to the passage of the vote Of
thanks, the newspaper men had been
somewhat doubtful about their popu-
larity with the delegates.
Although Thomas and his 200 or
so followers walked out of the con-
