Remember The Defenders
OF The Nation

To the Editor Of The Times:
We, the organized disabled Of
the regular military and naval
services greatly appreciate the
plan Of the President for a strong
national defense. However, we be.
lieve that he should give immedi-
ate and prompt consideration to
the plight Of the men who have
been manned in such national de-
Tense who he reduced so very
sharply in their pensions acting
under authority granted to him
by the Economy Act.
The situation Is most horrible
Men who were blinded in line Of
duty were reduced more than 80
per cent. Men who were manned
by loss Of limbs have been re-
duced to the extent Of more
than rs per cent. The reduction
in our average disability pen.
Sions was about one third, and
when 1t is considered that, with
some exceptions, our pensions in
1888 were according to the rates
Of 1888, the full effects can be
understood.
The Veterans Bureau will prob
ably dispute our claim, but we
stand ready to prove it by the
production of the actual cases,
hundreds and hundreds Of them,

COUNTY
LAWCHANGES
PROPOSED

SILVER SPRING, Md, Jan. IA.
A seven.point program advocating
several changes in Montgomery
county'S liquor laws has been
drafted by the liquor control board
for presentation to the coming
special session Of the Maryland
legislature. It will be presented
to the county board of commits
sioners today for its approval.
Two suggested changes are de-
signed to enable county diSpen-
Saries better to compete with
Washington liquor and beer deal
ers. They call for a reduction in
the State tax on distilled spirits
from $1.10 to so cents per gallon
and q change in on-sale hours Tor
beer from 6 a. m. until midnight,
rs at present, to 8 a. m. until z
Q. m. On Saturday night the mid
night closing hour would continue
to be observed.
Other changes advocated are:
An amendment to permit brew
erS and distributors to sell directly
to the retailers, thus eliminating
bookkeeping necessary under the
present setup.
An amendment to provide ex-
emption of the receipts of the dis
pensaries from the State gross
sales tax.
An am e n d m e mt to permit
licensed retailers to change the
type Of their licenses without ad-
vertising and holding public hear
ings.
An amendment to permit hold
ers Of wine licenses to sell wine
with an alcoholic content up to
81 per cent, instead of the present
Il per cent.
An amendment to permit all
gross receipts of the diSpenSarieS
to be deposited to the credit Of the
liquor board and the profits for
warded to the county treasurer
each month after all bills are paid.
Gross receipts now must be turned
over to the county treasurer, who
then pays the bills.

Failure to Pay Bonus
A Stain On y. S.


To the Editor Of The Times:
The socalled bonus should never
have been passed in its present
form. It was the most inhuman
LEGISLATION ever enacted into law
by q republic, and it should have
been paid in full long ago to re-
move the Stacker stain from the
Government, and in order that
the disgrace and mental cruelty
Of it might in some measure be
forgotten.
IF q starving dog was kept tied
Just out of reach from meat great
indignation would be aroused at
such cruelty, yet the Government
has been doing just this to not
one but thousands of needy vet.
Grams in the present emergency,
and when we do what we can
about it they call us names.
Veterans are not less patriotic
Americans when they do what
they can to have their Govern
ment atone for q shameful act,
and they should not be inSulted
by those who are afraid they will
have to pay a few cents more for
the comfort of veterans depend
ents, and to aid in creating new
prosperity.
Those who haggle over the in
terest are in the same class with
the mean father who offered to
pay his child for every meal the
child did not eat When the child
refrained from eating to get the
money, the father promptly
charged her the same amount for
the next meal, claiming that she
would eat more than usual.
Why cannot they forget the in
terest, and help to make payment
in full unanimous so that veter'
ans and veteran Sympathizers
may regain some Of their last IL
lusions and learn again 20 respect

His review and Interpretation
of the news has never been ex-

Very few commentators have
the ability to stick to the basic
background in reporting the days

flustered, or shows bias. Like a
good many others am a partisan
concerning the great political
questions; but no partisan could
take any exceptions to the able

there be a more severe test?

Risdon Plans Two Factory Additions Increases Wages
Naugatuck To Lose
 Chinese Chef At Y
John ChomonyO, Recently Converted to Catholic
 Faith, to Work in Middebury Church RectOry

Naugatuck, Nov. 24.-Naugatuck will lose one of its most interest ing and well-known residents, 1t was learned today when announcement was made that John Chomonyo, Chinese chef at the local Y. M. C.. A. cafeteria for the past seven years will move to Middlebury to work in the rectory of Rev. Raymond Kennedy there.
 John, with his pleasant manner and cheerful smile, has made hun. dreds Of friends here and he will be missed. He recently was converted to Catholicism and was devout practitioner of this faith.
 He has had @ colorful career and a short biography would include the following facts:
 Fifty-six years ago Chomonyo was born near Shanghai of very poor parents. His father was a rice and potato farmer who eked out 8 very bare subsistence for his family of five sons and two daugh. ters.
 John ran away from this life at the age of 10 and went to Shang- hal which was an overnight trip on q Chinese junk. His first night in the big city was spent in a public rooming house. When he awolss in the morning hts only pair of shoes were stolen, and he was forced to walk on snow and ice until he found @ job.
 Cabin Boy on Boat
 He got work as a cabin boy on Japanese boat, and for the next seventeen years Japan was his home between voyages.
 Only once did he return to his old home. At the age of 2l he went back to marry his family's choice of wife. After one short year this wife died, and John, broken hearted, returned to Japan and the sea.
 At the outset of the World war, John was cook on Japanese passenger ship. In February, l9l6, a German submarine sank this ship off the coast of Scotland, fifteen of the l75 on board being lost. John and two companions were left by the life boats, floating on Q hatch cvoer, in a cold and icy sea. Each of the two companions gradually weakened and fell off leaving John, ali1sot dead from exposure and ex- haustion, alone on Q raft on the ocean. He was rescued after 18 hours by British 'warship, and sent to Q hospital in Glasgow, Scot land, to recuperatc.
 Tn British Navy
 Tho next phase in Johns life was his enrolment as cook in the Bri- tish navy, where he remained for the duration of the war. He came to the United States in 1920, after serving as Q cook Oil Standard oil and Gulf oil steamers.
 On his first day in New York, John likes to recall, he went to @ clothing store on the lower east side to buy an oyercoat. After two and one.half hours of dickering he eni- erged with 6 S60 coat for which he paid $l2. After wearing 1t for two winters, he sold the coat for 425. This shrewd gentleman was c dif- ferent Chomonyo than the one who lost his only pair of shoes 24 years before.
 After spending two years in priv ate homes in New York and Long Island, John went to the Chase mill in Watervillc as chef. Later he
