The incident created an under

versation, spoken aloud or whis-

Frankly, there was considerable
bitterness, but it was not drawn on

He was lieutenant, and he said

Appeal by Roosevelt
For Aid 10 Veterans
Finds Quick Response
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt,s request for
early enactment of legislation to
provide mustering-out pay, unem-
ployment compensation and other
benefits for the veterans Of this war
struck a responsive chord in
Congress today.
Senators Wagner of New York and
George Of Georgia. Democrats, an
nounced they would introduce this
week bills embodying the Presidents S
requests, and Chairman May said he
would call the House Military AZ
fairs Committee together soon to
work out "a comprehensive and
thorough program"
Among the bills already before Mr.,
Mays committee are measures to
broaden the Soldiers and Sailors
Civil Relief Act and to provide for
long term Government financed
loans to service personnel.
1--WE want to have program
worked out and ready to operate
when these men start coming home
and not make them wait for months
or maybe years before we help
them," Mr.. May told reporters
They were taken out of civilian life
quickly by the Government and the
least the Government can do Is to
help them quickly get back into their
normal way Of living upon their re-
turn"
Representative Sparkman, Demo-
crat. OF Alabama, one of the authors
Of the Soldiers and Sailors' Civil Re-
lief Act, declared changes to be
made in that law would depend on
the length OF the war.
Many of these men will have a
terrific burden upon them when
they are discharged, in the form OF
obligations that have been allowed
to pile up under the Civil Relief
Act" Mr.. Sparkman said. For
many OF them 1t will be unfair, If
not impossible, to expect them to
catch up on their back debts and at
the same time readjust themselves
to civilian life in a short period of
time"
Both Mr.. May and Mr.. Sparkman
cautioned against a program that
might be too altruistic.
We must be careful not to make
things so attractive some of the vet
erans would benefit by never re-
turning to work." Mr.. Sparkman
said. Help In the form of unem-
ployment benefits. continued de-
