SENATOR REED CREDITED
WITH VETERAN MEASURES
Associated Press Corrects Report
of January That He Fought
Bonus Proposals.
By the Associated Pres,

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Reed, Republican, of Penn
sylvania, who introduced the American
Legion's legislative program yesterday,
was described at his Office as one who
had sponsored more legislation for the
benefit of the World War veteran than
any other member of Congress"
The Associated Press said January 8
that Senator Reed had fought bonus
proposals and voted consistently against
most compensation legislation"
Among legislation credited to him
was the World War veterans act of
1924. the disability pension act of July
3, 1890 which extended pension pay
ments to veterans suffering disabilities
not incurred in the war, or in which
service connection could be proved.
Senator Reed commanded battalion
OF the 311th Infantry, 10th Division
overseas.
The Associated Press gladly makes
this correction.

defended his committee with spirit
against what he claimed were unjust

the depravity Of the Louisiana political

1T is system that breeds corrup-

he said, and added that though he was
not very cOgnizant Of city political Or

When Senator Overton inadvertently
referred to Senator Connally as "the

Senator Cverton apologized, but sug-

a compliment to any man. Whereupon
Senator Connally rose and acknowl-

Citizens Forum Of Columbia
Heights Says Present Bill
Endangers Temperance.

The dispensary system for control OF
liquor in the District was favored in q
resolution adopted by the Citizens

The resolution was presented by Charles

Legislation Committee.
The forum expressed the view that
the bill passed by the House and now
being considered by the Senate will not
II enacted, be conducive to temperance
Another resolution was adopted by the
group opposing the sale of liquor in Co.

William F. Dismer. who contended 1t
was not the use but the abuse of liquA

Board for the District should be of a

List Objections.
The following are reasons set forth by
the organization why the bill now before
Congress should not be adopted
1t will permit many of the evils which
accompanied the old saloon: it will en-
courage people to drink while they eat
and dance: it will force those who op-
pose drinking to see others drink: il
gives no protection to school children
or churches, since man may be IL
censed to sell liquor adjacent to a
church or school provided his place OF
business was established prior to April
|, last. and because the $l.l0 a gallon
sales tax on alcohol provided for in the
bill added to the 81 a gallon Federal
tax will only serve to encourage boot
Logging
Under the resolution proposed for
adoption, the forum favored: No sale
to habitual drinkers Or a person intoxi-
Gated no sale to minors: the creation
of dispensaries at least 600 feet from
schools and churches; the operation
Of the dispensary by bipartisan con-
troll board appointed by the District
Commissioners; that all rooms engaged
in the retail sale of liquor be on the
ground floor and visible from the side
walk; and that there should be no sales
tax on liquors sold by the dispensaries
Copies Of the resolution were ordered

speedy and full report he worked him
self up into a magnificent frenzy IN tne
defense of his senior Senator.
1t was nip and tuck during the f1rSt
hour whether he would align himself
personally with Long. He began by
claiming he was exonerated and read
sections from the findings In which
various Senators on the Investigating
Committee had said there was nothing
against his fitness for office. He dis
claimed any solicitation in the support
of either the Long faction or the New
Orleans faction that backed him or Ia
Dor organizations. He said that had
he not been given the support of the
Long faction. this investigation OF his
campaign would never have taken place.
Senators Leave Floor.
Just about this time. the Senate floor
began to empty and the galleries be-
came so crowded that in some there
was standing room only. The drys who
had gathered to hear Senator Sheppard
deliver his annual speech on the ami
versary of the ratification Of the eight
eenth amendment drifted out and in
their place came hordes who follow the
doings Of the Kingfish. In the Senate
gallery sat Mrs. Hilda Phelps Ham,
mond, fervent crusader against the
Long faction. She sat very still. only
her yellow pencil travelling furiously
across a pad.
Interrupted occasionally by Senator
Connally, Mr.. Overton began to flare
out and give hint of the fire that
was coming He said all this investi-
CATION was just an excuse to pile all

down his papers on the desk and then
lifting both hands into the air and
shaking them. he lashed into the peo-
pie that had tried TO browbeat the COM
mittee into giving an adverse decision

avail Senator Connally to remind him
that this committee could only ascer-
tain whether the expenditures OF his
senatorial campaign had been excessive
and fraudulently obtained.
