Aroused by protests from the An
sonia chapter and from number OF
the veterans in the fifth COMPRESSION
al district who received the award
on account Of wounds received IN
action, Congressman Smith stated
today that 1t was the intention OF
the military affairs committee, OF
which he Is member, to summon
officials Of the War Department to
be questioned concerning recent
departmental order authorizing
military personnel with the CCC to
qualify for the award.
In addition, Smith said, a bill will
be prepared In committee and re-
ported to the House, to specifically
prohibit the granting of the Order
of the Purple Heart except to vet
Grams who were wounded in combat
with the enemy or performed ex-
ceptionally meritorious war service.
Vets Ueeved
Frank j. Cushner, adjutant OF the
Ansonia chapter, in a communica-
ton TO Congressman Smith, de-
scribes the War Department order
as "a direct slap in the face Tor
those men who had been honored
with distinction for faithful services
rendered to their country in time OF
war. Also 1t Is contrary to the in
tention OF George Washington. who
founded the order" Mr.. Cushner
points out that the Purple Heart
was "a medal instituted by Wash
ington and revived during his BIZ
centennial"
War Department Circular No. 5,
1887, which announces the intention
of extending the use Of the Purple
Heart decoration, states that 1.-THE
Purple Heart will be considered as
junior Distinguished Service Medal,
and will be awarded for outstand-
ing distinguished service in time OF
peace or war. Thus military person.
mel who have served or are now
serving with the Civilian Conserva-
ton corps are eligible for this
award"
Charter
Congressman Smiths interest in
the Military Order of the Purple
Heart was noted in the last session
OF Congress, when bill introduced
by him, providing for the issuance
Of q national charter to the organ
ization, passed both the House and
Senate, but was vetoed by the Pres
ident on recommendation OF the
War Department.

Bill Passage.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 5-The
New York Department Of the Dis
abled American Veterans of the World
War presented to the national con-
vention here last night resolution
asking Endorsement OF bill before
Congress to extend Home Owners
Loan Corp. loans from Is to 30 years
by moratorium at low interest rate
The veterans intensified campaign
ing for the post of national command
er, to be decided Friday. Candidates
included John Rainey Of Pittsburgh,
Clifford P. Doherty OF Revere, Mass.
Maple T. Harle of Denver, Colo; John
T. Wins Of Brooklyn, N. Y; Mrs.
Julia M. Hammill McGinty of HaW-
ley, Pa; Joe Ashi of Washington, and
Thomas A. Furlong of Georgia.
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, Fed
eral administrator of veterans af-
fairs, told the convention that there
was noticeable improvement in
employment among veterans, with
fewer than 100000 jobless veterans
registered with the United States En-
ployment Service.
He also reported material advance

the same thing over again.
Corporation executives, as individ-
uals, may make contributions to the
campaign fund either by buying books
or by direct gifts. But it is q violation
of the statute to solicit any campaign
contribution from corporation. IN
the case of the Democratic register
the purpose to which the funds are
to be put, namely, to obtain our cam
paign fund.- is plainly confessed on
its face.
Representative Smell, Republican
leader, has received copies Of the new
solicitation letter, but since the Dem
ocrats have squelched committee ac-
ton on his resolution OF inquiry
with respect to the 1896 campaign
book put out by the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, he is not expect
ing any attention will be paid by
Democratic congressional leaders to
this new enterprise. AS matter OF
fact, it isn't subject for congress
sional inquiry at all, but for United
States attorneys, who represent the
law enforcement branch Of the Gov
ernment of the United States and
whose duty it is to prosecute all
offenders, rich or poor, Democrats or
Republicans, who violate the laws of
the land.
