VETERANS CALLED
IN BONUS FIGHT.
v. +. W. Invites Legion to
Join Forces to Present
Solid Front.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October ga call for
all veterans favoring the bonus to
rally behind one bill which both the
American Legion and Veterans of
Foreign Wars can support was sound
ed today by the high command of the
latter group.
Its National Council of Administra-
ton, opening a two-day session,
adopted a resolution inviting the Le-
gion to send representatives to a con-
ference in Washington within 80 days
which would unite both organizations
in one proposal for immediate cash
payment.
Permits Solid Front.
Acceptance by the Legion Of this
plan." said the Foreign War Veterans
executive group, would mean that
veterans could present a solid front
at the next session of Congress for
the first time in the history of the bo-
nus fight"
The statement added that differ
ences between the two groups of vet
Grams over rival bills brought about
defeat of the bonus proposal at the
last session of Congress.
The Foreign War Veterans then
supported the measure of Representa-
tive Wright Patman of Texas, a So
called currency imitation measure.
The American Legion backed the bill
of Representative Fred M. Vnson of
Kentucky, which he termed a sound
money" measure.
Because of the "lack Of co-ordina-
ton and unity among the veteran Or
ganizations," the resolution of the
Foreign War Veterans Council said,
President Roosevelt's veto Of the Pat
man bill was sustained by a margin
Of seven votes in the Senate.
Plans Joint Meeting.
James E. Van Zandt of Altoona,
Pa, national commander in chief Of
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars, said
his organization was willing to sacri-
flee what recognition we deserve"
for being leaders in this fight for i'm
mediate cash payment" during the
past several years in the interest OF
veterans welfare"
Under the resolution, the Washing
ton conference of both bodies would
selecting a steering committee 20
handle the fight for the bonus IN the
next Congress. The National Coun-
ellis action gave the Foreign Wars
Veterans legislative representatives
authority to meet with the Legion
group, If the latter receives similar
authority.

War on Crime Forum Topic

Attorney General Homer Cum
mings, Just back from a study OF
law enforcement methods in Eng
land, France and Belgium, will
outline to the Nation his plans for
a further strengthening Of lines
in Americas war on crime tomor-
row night at 10:30 O'Clock when he
will speak in the National Radio
Forum, arranged by The Washing
ton Star and broadcast over q
coast-to-coast network of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co.
Having gained wider perspec-
tive of the crime problem by rea-
son of his survey OF England's
Scotland Yard, the French Surete
Generate and the Belgian National
Institute Of Criminology, Cum
mings is expected to compare po-
lice problems of those countries
with those here.
From this comparison, it Is
understood, he will point to the
desirability of certain reforms in
the United States-especially the
need for speedier prosecution of
criminals, changes in the bail sys-
TEN and improved coordination
of law enforcement activities. He
is known to have been deeply i'm
pressed by the celerity with which
prisoners in England are brought to
trial and by the crime-deterrent
effect of the no-bail policy in
France.
Plans of the Department of JUS
tice for extending cooperation to
State and municipal police through
the new Police Training School of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
probably will be emphasized.

FIVE HERE LUCKY
IN SWEEPSTAKES
Each Ticket Holder to Get
$1,825-MiIIion Shared
by 536 in U. S.

Five WaShingtonians shared in yes
terday's take from the big green drum
at Dublin, which spun a million dol
lars for 536 American ticket holders
in the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes.
To the Washington winners, each
of whom will get at least S1,825 al
current exchange rates, good luck
meant dancing career for a loved
one, a new house, an investment In
Government bonds.
The Associated Press reported 43
per cent of the prizes in the first
round of the drawing from the huge
gayly decorated drum in Mansion
House went to Americans. The sum
eventually coming to this country
will be boosted in all probability when
the race which decides the grand
prizes-the Cambrigeshire-is run at
New Market Wednesday.
None Here Drew Favorites.
None of the local ticket holders drew
favorite in the race. The drawing
was based on 81 horses, of which
only about Is or 80 will run, but
ticket holders will receive the mini
mum of Sl,825 even if their horses
do not go to the post.
Each holder of a ticket on the horse
winning the race will get S147,300
while seconds will be S73,65O and
thirds s49,100. The draw will be re-
sumed tomorrow with 10 residual
prizes at $l0,792 each and 1900 con-
ISOLATION prizes at s491 to come out
of the drum.
That dancing career for her only
child seemed a step nearer yesterday
when Mrs. Marion e. Berg, 1918 Six
teenth street, was informed she held
lucky ticket.
my only child, Edith, wants tc
dance" Mrs. Berg. division head al
the Patent Office, told reporter, "anc
now maybe she can learn from the
finest instructors"
Mrs. Berg's horse, Volta, probably
will run In the race.
Air Pilot Holds Ticket.
]. B. Franklin, 5814 Sherrier place
pilot for the Central Airlines. was or
his daily flight to Detroit when the
cable announcing his lucky ticket
reached Mrs. Franklin. She wired him
and he returned at o'clock yester.
day afternoon.
I'VE are going to build q home!'
Mrs. Franklin exclaimed.
"Uh, huh," confirmed the aviator
The money, it seemed, will go into the
bank meanwhile.
P. j. Boiseau, 1854 Taylor street
wasn't especially thrilled outwardly
He didn't want any publicity. A guar
antee of $l,825 couldn't raise any ex-
citement for him.
To Mrs. Boiseau, however. it meant
another investment, this time in Gov
ernment bonds"
Miss Anna R. Rowan, 1880 K street,
also a Government worker, is afraid
her horse. Romney II. may not start.
IT don't know whether I have won
anything. I got the cablegram all
right. But what is $1,000 toward a
home? I can't see that it's much"
The fifth Washington ticket was
held in the Navy Building by per-
son who used the name Unborn
Child" He or she holds Romney II
also.
Americans won seven tickets on the
favorite, Pegasus. OF these, two live

INQUIRY TO BARE
COTTON RIVALRY
Private Traders to Argue
Against Co.operativeS at
Quiz Tomorrow.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, october 26.-The
bitter rivalry between the private cot
ton trade and the cotton co-opera-
tives will be aired at senatorial in
quiry beginning here Monday.
Senator McKellar, Democrat, OF
Tennessee, was the author of the res
olution authorizing him and two col
leagues to delve into the records con-
cerning financial operations between
the Federal Farm Board and the CO.
operatives in 1929-30 and 1S30-31.
Private cotton traders, advised by
Senator McKellar that any one with
information can appear as witness,
have indicated they will take the op-
portunity to present their arguments
egainst the co-operatives on the
grounds of unfair competition,
through continued use of Federal
funds.
Senators to Have No Counsel.
Senator McKellar and Senator
Bankhead, Democrat, of Alabama, will
open the inquiry without counsel or
Investigators The other committee
man, Senator Townsend. Republican,
Of Delaware, will join them later in
the week.
Charles G.. Henry, general manager
Of the Mid-South Cotton Growers
Association, a subsidiary of the Amer
lean Cotton Cooperative Association,
referring to the operations between
the old Farm Board and the cooper
atives, said today:
Charges are continually being made
by the cotton trade of losses sus-
tanned by the Government to the CO.
operatives. when really the losses were
the result Of the Stabilization opera
tons Of the Government.
Co-operatives Held Penalized.
1.-THE co-operatives were merely the
machinery for carrying out the oper-
ations. When settlements were made
and the cotton taken over by the
Government, the co-operativeS were
penalized to the full extent of their
assets, which we're then around
S4000,0o0, before the Government be-
gan to take any of the losses. All cot
ton producers benefited by the stabil-
ization plans, yet the cooperative or
ganization stood this loss"
The cotton trade, to be headed by
Caffey Robertson, president Of the
Memphis Cotton Exchange, charges
that the co-operatives are buying cot
ton from other than members of their
associations. They claim they would
not object to the operation Of the CO.
operatives if they did not use Govern
.ment money, and charge that the
Government stands the losses, a
charge denied by the co-operatives.
Henry claims the latter keep the
price of the cotton up as high as pos
slble for the benefit of the grower and
have cut down the margin of profit
so low that the cotton trade cannot
exist and, of course, they do not
like it
Chance for Accounting Seen.
E. F. Creekmore, general manager
of the American Cotton Cooperative
Association, will be the first witness
at the inquiry.
The investigation was termed "ar
opportunity for the co-operatives tc
give an accounting of their steward
ship by N. C. Williamson, president
of the association, at his home In
Lake Providence, La, today.
Williamson, with Creekmore, Sam
