Swift Bonus
Action Sought
Pre-Peoce Guarantee
Seen Advisable

WASHINGTON, Dec. l7-(P)
Two of the three major war
veterans organizations I h rev
their support today behind a
movement for pre-peace enact
ment of oldiers' bonus legisla-
ton as part of a mustering-out
pay bill.
The third, the American
Legion, declared through its
legislative agent, Francis NJ.
Sullivan, that it was mot a par
ty TO any groups representing
the veterans whose insistence on
further hearings on an adjusted
compensation bill has been
blamed for delay in enactment
Of discharge pay legislation.
Willard w. Rice, legislative
representative of the Disabled
American Veterans, disclosed
that a bonus bill introduced
this week by Rep. Brooks Cd
La, a member of the military
m m t I e, represented the
views of his organization.
Omar B. Ketchum, spokesman
for the Veterans of Foreign Wars
said his organization was in
sympathy with the principles
of the Brooks measure and be-
lieved pay readjustment legisla-
ton should be tied in with the
mastering out bill.
The Brooks bill provides for
maximum benefits of 81, 500 TO
discharged service men and
women, the amount being based
on length and place of service,
with increased benefits for men
wounded in combat. The rate of
pay would be 81 for each day of
domestic service and Sl25 for
foreign duty in combat, with an
additional 500 (but not to ex-
coed $4,000 for each wound.

WASHINGTON -- There was
something that smacked of the
old barn raisings and threshing
bees, something so neighborly
and typically American in an
anniversary celebration held in
this village recently.
The guest of honor was not a
leading local banker, president
of the civic club, or a local boy
who made good in a distant city
and arrived here in chauffeur
driven limousine.
None OF these.
The central figure in this cele-
bration, for which the whole
town showed up in their Sunday
best. was a humble craftsman
a harness maker and shoe re-
pairer - who oVercame terrific
handicaps TO successfully con-
duct his business here for 30
years.
STORY WELL KNOWN
The story, more or less fami-
liar to the 100 toWnsfolk who
/ gathered at the Methodist church
last Thursday, is one first of
courage which withstood ex-
trcme physical handicaps, and
| secondly of honesty and fair
dealing.
Herman Herfert is a cripple,
the victim of a North Dakota
tornado in 1902. AT the bounti-
full dinner and neighborly pro-
gram accorded him. a repast
prepared with special pride by
/ ladies Of the Women's Society
Of Christian Service, Herman S
story was re-told by speakers to
persons who had known it for
years-but they thrilled to hear
il again. The businessmen also
presented Herman with "a warm
overcoat."
The fri n d ~ Washington
lcatherman was born in East
Prussia, Germany, and came
with his parents TO America at
the age of seven, settling near
/ Armada.
STAKES OUT CLAIM
AS young man, Herman mi
grated TO the west and took up
a government claim in North
Dakota when that state was
largely wilderness. He was re-
qIired TO homestead his 100
acre prairie claim for three years
before receiving title to the land.
He worked six months on an
eastern Dakota farm each year,
and with his savings eked out a
bare existence on the homestead,
that is, until the storm came.
One summer night in 1902

which swept the area. He was
buried in the debris in an UNI

Trussed up in a HON, made
cot slung in the box of a farm
wagon, Herman was transported
over 80 miles Of bumpy, debris

returned to North Dakota and
succeeded in receiving a special
government adjustment where
by he received a deed to the
land After selling the property

Detroit.
His first stop in Nccomb

Later Herman favored a To-
c~tion in the Mrs. G. rye Brabb
Lee property. which stood where

located. After two years he was
able to purchase his own store,
which has faithfully served the
district for 80 years.
Despite his affliction. Herbert

prospered, so tina. he has been
able to assert the Amt lean in

when he refused to let North
