other half were gathered in a big
field over in Maryland, 7 miles from
the mud fats. This they used as a
sort of evacuation depot. and by late
the next afternoon even this was
virtually deserted.
Most of the marchers joined the
mass of bonus seekers who trekked
to Johnstown, Pa, where Mayor Eddie
McCloSkey had unthinkingly offered
refuge. But this JohnStoWn mobiliza-
tion lasted but single, hectic week
The combined lack of facilities for any
sort of colonization and the Shrill
hysterical appeal of the chubby little
mayor for them to move on" after
few days set the ragged travellers
in motion again. They scattered to
the four corners of the land
In all its aspects, taking the good
with the bad, the bonus army was
ineScapably a little splendid. There
was much about the vagabond pill
grimage which smacked of a crusade
| There was in it a hysteria recalling
martyrs and fervor touching that
of religious fanaticism. The bonus
soldiers had a cause-no matter
whether it was a Just or an unjust
one. And they rose out of destitu-
tion from the villages and cities and
farms Of the land to march to Wash
ington and present it.
This army in rags which gathered
in the Capital came as remnant of
that glorious band which Is years
earlier fought and bled in France.
| Consequently, its pathetic and de-
spairing campaign constituted a
poignant, dramatic argument which
| the forces of economic logic found
hard to overcome.
Those men who, on July %, ran
cursing before soldiers directed to
drive them from their pitifully rude
shacks were, in part at least, the
same men who once climbed over
parapetS into open country singing
| with leaden death. Some of them
bore all too obvious signs of that
earlier campaign, when they were
told to fight for God and for coun-
try" and were idolized as heroes. This
time-aS some Of them saw it, at
lleaSt-they were fighting for economic
being and self-respect.
1t was inevitable that there should
be injected into the war for a bonus
not too pleasant comparisons Of the
manner in which the men were
treated on the two occasions, more
than a decade apart.
The bonus movement grew out of
a malcontent sharply outlined against
a national tapestry of tumbling
prices, crashing credits and quaking
industry The march began with a
handful of discontentS, but picked up
recruits like rolling snow ball, and
swept into the National Capital up

place months before the an
nouncements are sent out.
However, as I say, it's a ques-
ton of choice. And if your
heart is set on sending out the
formal announcements, there Is
no social rule against it.
But remember that if you do
send out these formal an
nouncements. they must state
the date and year of the mar
riage, and the place in which it
was performed. The fact that
it was performed out of town
makes no difference in this
rule.
The usual way Of making such
a tardy announcement of a mar
riage is the informal way. for
the bride and groom to tell their
relatives and close friends, tell
ing those who live near enough
for a personal call, and writing
to those who live far away.
Whichever way you choose.

of announcing, it would be bet
ter form to send the invitations
to the reception after the an

Secret Marriage

SCCLCb Wal mage
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have been married secretly
since last September I wish to
announce it now, but am in
doubt as to how to go about it.
1 would like to send out regular
marriage announcements. Is it
necessary to state where the
marriage took place as it was
out Of town.
I would like to have a recep-
ton for my relatives. Do I en-
close a card with the announce
ment saying there will be re-
ception, or just how do I invite
them? The reception will be at
my parents home where I now
live. After the reception we will
leave for a short trip. Will this
be all quite proper?
T.
The choice as to how an an
nouncement of a marriage that
has taken place so long ago will
be made, rests entirely with the
bride and her parents. I can
never be very enthusiastic about
sending out formal announce
ments Of such an unconven-

By BYRAN PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, WashingtOn.)

No substantial basis appears for the report that Gen. Hugh s. Johnson soon is to leave MIRA.
 The organization he built is in the midst of an important transi- tion, and those who believe they know the mind of the President are convinced the General Nsll stay in the saddle until the uiore per- msrent aspects of MIRA have been worked out.
 It would cause no surprise If an adn- inistrator of a somewhat diff ferent type should succeed Johnson once the transitory period is over. That would be months hence.
 Johnson at first intended to get out as soon as the tempo '3ry set- Up was complete, and -,1e bigger industries had been codisiec. He fixed January l, last, as a prob ahie date for his retirement NRA got into serious controversy about that time, however, and he pre- ferred not to quit under fire.
 More recently the story has been passed around that he would step out after the adjournment Of Con- gress, which will about coincide with the first birthday of MIRA. That story never was supported either at NRA or the White House,

and recent indications tend more and more to forecast the contrary. SELF-GOvERNMENT STRESSED


 SELF-GOvERNMENT STRESSED
 A significant hint as to the fu- ture character of MIRA was given by MT. Roosevelt when he ordered that the service" industries be relieved of trade practice regula- tions under the codes.
 Other steps in the same direction are in prospect. The new idea is to give industry all along the line more self government with respect to such things as production and methods of competition.
 That does not include any relax ation of MIRA control over relations between industry and labor. The wages and hours clauses of the codes will stand
 One possibility is that in its fi- nal form MIRA will find it's chief function in spreading employment, maintaining wage scales and en- forcing new capital-labor rela- tionship-leaving to the Federal Trade Commission the task of keep ing competition within legal limits
 That conception of the supreme mission of MIRA would seem to be in keeping with the present en- phasis on legislation to broaden the powers of the MIRA Labor Board,

LOCAL HALIbUT
 FISHERMEN ARE
 FACING CLOSING
Closure ot Area Two in August Is Predicted
 Protest Is Voiced

Cessation of fishing for all local halibut fishermen, unless they own and operate large schooners, with in two months was indicated here today with the receipt of advices by local halibuters from Seattle that area number two, comprising waters of Southeast Alaska to Cape Spencer, probably will have to close down in August.
 This means, it was pointed out, that 90 per cent of the Southeast Alaska halibut fishermen will be out of employment then. Their vessels are not large enough to risk trips to the western banks which lie in exposed waters.
 Plan Longer Layup
 A telegram received lately from the Fishing Vessels Owners Asso- ciation, of Seattle, by local inter- ests revealed the imminence of the closing of fishing in the sheltered waters. It predicted that steps would be taken by the Interna- tional Fisheries Commission in Au- gust, and that area three would be closed in October The Seattle or ganization said it was suggesting 15-day layup for western ves- sels after June 15, with a provis- ion that all area two vessels, in- tending to fish in western waters when the local area closed, should also take a 15lday layup. Boats not going to the western area would continue to operate as at present, but if later they changed their plans and do go to the west after area two closes, they would be re- quired to make up the curtailment passed before being permitted to leave for area three.
 The curtailment plan, declared local fishermen, as it has operated during the current season has not assisted them in any way. More intensive operations by the larger vessels from the south has prevent ed any saving in the aggregate catch with the result that the take to date this year, although the

CRACKING DOWN" BARRED

It probably will be found that if any codes actually are pre- scribed" by MIRA, over the objec- tions of the industries affected, they will be confined to wages and hours
 Of course. there are some excep- tions to this general tendency, where codes already in operation are shown to promote monopoly and permit unreasonable price-fix- ing. some way out will have to be found. The Darrow report may lead in the end, to several revisions.
 On the whole, however, General Johnson is not going out looking for new trouble. The plain expla- ton is that the government is con- vinced general sentiment will not support a cracking down" process that makes Washington absolute arbiter of business relationships.
 Evidence of that is seen in the fact that the drastic licensing pro- vision never was used, and now is to be permitted to lapse.
 In all it's aspects, the present phase of transition is perhaps the most interesting of the many through which this remarkable ag- ency has passed. In spite of all competition, MIRA still holds the center of the Washington stage.

WASHINGTON, June 12. = The Washington Post says that the sec bnd report of the Darrow Recovery Review Board assails the practice pf surreptitiously altering MIRA eodes as unfair, unreasonable, ar bitrary and autocratic."
 ! The report said that serious Changes were made in the boot and Shoe retail trades codes between the time the industries approved them and the time Roosevelt pro mulgated them. It also said that certain practices are casting the MIRA experiment. into the hands of an irresponsible dictatorship
 The board, headed by Clarence Darrow, condemned provisions in the lumber code and it's admins trators.
 Recommends Removal
 The Washington Post says that the report recommended the re- moval of the Executive Secretary of the Lumber Code Authority, the removal of the Western Pine Asso- ciation as code authority in the Western Division, and the transfer of the Assistant Deputy Adminis- trator for Lumber to other duties. i, The Post said that there were Indications that the Assistant De- putty Administrator has not suffi- cient training or experience.
