SEES
CHAMPION IN
HIGH TRIBUNAL
Thinks Tribunal Will Sus-
tain NRA 100 Percent
On Appeals

PROVIDENCE. r. l., March s.
UP)-General Hugh S. Johnson,
former NRA administrator, told
the Rhode Island bar association
here last night that there has
been a favorable reaction to that
part of his Monday night speech
in which he attacked the Rev.
Charles f. Coughlin, the radio
priest.
In a question period after he
had addressed the approximately
500 Rhode Island barristers on
legal aspects of the NRA, John
son adhered almost 100 per cent
to his plans not to renew his con-
troyersv with Father Coughlin
and Senator Huey p. Long.
But when one of the lawyers
put to him the ingenius question:
General Johnson, has the clergy
any right to discuss social prob
lems," he laughed and replied:
81 very reluctantly referred 20
Father COughlin in my speech
the other night, but Judging from
the kilograms and letters which
| have received. apparently there
has been a favorable reaction
Getting back to the point of
the question. Johnson said that
his attack on Father Cough'n
was not an attack on the clergy
as such or or any religion, for
he respected all religions. But
he added:
"In my opinion, the clergy
have a right to discuss social
problems, but that is different
than forming a political organi-
cation, heading it. using religion
and appeals to emotion, rather
than by exposition of a point Of
view"

SENATE VOTES 40
PCT. INCREASE in
ARMY STRENGTH

WASHINGTON, March 8 (UP)
The senate voted yesterday to
increase the strength Of the
army 30 per cent.
The vote was Sc to 26. Action
was taken over the protest OF
several members who ridiculcd
the idea of foreign aggression
here.
One of these was Sen. Bennett
Champ Clark, d., Mo-, whose
motion to strike from the $375,
100000 war department appro-
priation bill a provision for the
increase precipitated the vote.
The proposal was to add $4,000
to the enlisted strength of 49,
$50, giving a standing army of
10000.
"The only effect of this in
crease" Clark said, "would be
to souander millions of taxpay-
ers money
Two others who belittled the
possibility of attack on Amerl-
can shores were Sen. William j..
Borah, and Sen. Carter Glass,
D. Va.
The vote was incidental to
consideration Of the war depart
ment bill, which was held over
until today. It's consideration
held up the S8O,000,000 works
relief measure.
The senate post office com,
mittee considered his proposed
investigation of Postmaster ten,
eral James A. Farley without
acting.
Meanwhile Attorney General
Homer S. Cummings appointed
former Governor Dan Moody OF
Texas, as special assistant at,or-
ney general to prosecute income
tax cases in Longs own bail,
wick. One of the cases he VIII
handle is that against Abe Shu-
shan. New Orleans dock com
missioner and Long henchman.
Asked what effect Moody's APP

that Mrs. Elva Statler Davidson

three months ago he was respon-
sible for the barring of Worlds
Champion Jim Londos from Cali
fornia and in the opinion of the
powers that be is the ace wrestler
of this state today.
His opponent. Szabo, has ap-
peared here a number of weeks and
has proven his ability and is we'll
liked and it is understood from re-
liable sources that Szabo is out to
take the Indian by fair means or
foul in order to eliminate him as
championship threat. John A.
Contos, local promoter, is greatly
peeved at the Wolf for having
stood in the way of Londos
match here this week and has op-
enly expressed himself in favor of
Szabo Whether Szabo can do any,
thing TO the Indian remains to be
seen Friday night.
The semi-final bout between
Vincent Lopez and Ted Christy
should be a WOW. Local fans know
the proclivities of both of these
men and there will be black eyes
and bloody noses before it is over
in the opinion of many.
The preliminary should be of
special interest as it brings to the
Ell Centre ring, for the first time,

Considered the most spectacular
wrestler today, he even outshines

mand and is understood to have
outdrawn Londos, Man Mountain

HOUSE OVERRIDEs BONUS VETO
DESPITE PLEA BY PRESIDENT

urged for all veterans regardless OF
need or age.
The nation S credit is safe today
the President assured congress. He
conceded that mere addition OF
S2.200.000,000 to the national de-
fieit would not in itself bankrupt
the United States. But he warned
! that even the credit of America
could not survive a policy which
permitted government to yield to
special groups.
Finally Mr.. Roosevelt contin-
ued, Z invite your attention TO the
fact that solely from the point of
view of the good credit of the Unit
ed States, the complete failure of
the congress to provide additional
taxes for an additional expenditure
of this magnitude would in itself
and by itself alone warrant disap-
proVal of this measure. y
Uncontrolled prices = initiation =
and destruction of savings are in
eScapable. Mr.. Roosevelt argued, if
a printing press money precedent is
established.
THE first person injured by
Skyrocketing prices he continued,
is the man on fixed income. Ey-
cry disabled veteran on pension or
allowance is on fixed income. This
bill favors the able bodied veteran
at the expense of the disabled vet
teran.
Every country that has at
tempted the form of meeting its
obligations which is here provided
has suffered disastrous consequence
es.
In the majority of cases printing
press money has not been retired
through taxation. Because of in
creased costs, caused by inflated
prices, new issue has followed new
issue, ending in the ultimate Wiping
out of the currency of the afflicted
country.
In few cases, like our own in
the period of the Civil war, the
printing of treasury notes to cover
an emergency has fortunately not
resulted in actual disaster and COL
lapse but has nevertheless caused
this nation untold troubles, econ
omic and political, for a whole gen.
eration.p
Pledges Care of Disabled
Mr.. Roosevelt reiterated h is
pledge of care of disabled veterans.
But for the able-bodied former
soldier he insisted that there should
be only equality of privilege with
all other citizens-"no less and no
more.''
To argue that the Patman bill
is relief measure, he said, is a
fallacy. And he said the statement
in the preamble of the bill that
spending for the bonus would be
Imperial Valley press., 1935-05-22

the immediate payment oil the
1e45 value of the certificates Mr..
Roosevelt continued. 1T means
paving $1,000 100000 more than the
present value of the certificates. It
requires an expenditure of more
than 100000 in cash for TINS
purpose.
TT directs payment to the vet
Grams of a much larger sum than
was contemplated in the 1924 set
tlement. It is nothing less than a
complete abandonment OF that set
tlement. It is a new straight gra-
tuity or bounty to The amount oi
81 $1,600,O00,000.
1T destroys the insurance pro
lection for the dependents OF the
veterans provided in the original
plan. For the remaining period OF
10 years they will have lost TINS
insurance.
This proposal, I submit, violates
the entire principle of the veterans
benefits so carefully formulated at
the time of the war and also the
entire principle of the adjusted Ger
tificate of settlement of 1924.

ing recovery us SO ill-considered
that little comment is necessary" i"
Senate bulwarks are stronger.
New Deal" congressional leaders
repeated today their confidence
that the upper house would stop
the bonus bill.
Mr.. Roosevelt met with a brief
paragraph the challenge of consti-
tutionality raised against his ap-
pearance today. He asserted the
right and propriety of the PreSi-
dent in addressing congress in per-
son.
"I should like" he added, ito
continue from time to time to act
as my own messenger"
Mr.. Roosevelt reviewed benefits
accorded American World war vet
Grams. He said the 1924 adjusted
compensation act for payment in
1945 had been accepted by the
country as fair. He cited the war
risk program established during
the World war to avoid the unfor-
tunate results that came from lack
of a veerans' policy after the Civil
war"
THE President and congress- he
continued, have fully recognized
that those who served in uniform
deserved certain benefits to which
other citizens of the republic were
not entitled, and in which they
could not participate

The nation has been generous
and liberal. Mr.. Roosevelt argued

abled.

compensation, 100000 men and
women have benefited"
Veterans, he said, have been CIV
en- federal and state preferences in
employment and many states have
voted bonuses to their citi2en-sol-
diers. Unemployed veterans have
benefited most, the argument ran,
from the 1898 PWA appropriation
and Mr.. Roosevelt expects the 1895
work relief act to provide job for
virtually every veteran now on the
dole.
Up to last June 80, the President
said, more than $7,80O000,00O had
been spent on veterans benefits
and for their relief.
1T seems safe to predict that by
the year l945 we will have ex-
pended $13,500,000, 900. This sum is
equal to more than three-fourths
of the entire cost of our participa-
ton in the World war, and 10 years
from now the veterans of that war
will be barely past the half CEN
tury mark
Mr.. Roosevelt explained that the
compensation certificates which
congressional majorities would cash
are not due. The certificates will
represent two-and-one-half times
the original grant when their 1945
maturity date arrives. To cite an
example, Mr.. Roosevelt said that a
veteran whose $400 claim for ad-
justed compensation was acknow-
ledged by the government in 1924
actually would receive $1,000 on
payday. 1915. The total acknow-
ledged obligation of $1,4O0, 100000
as of 1924 would produce matur-
ity value of $3.500,00O,000.
