Gen. Coxey Returns
To Capital 50 Years
After Historic March
Backs Drive to Reduce
Burden of War Cost
On Next Generation

Campaigning for establishment of
world currency to relieve the next
generation Of interest payments on
the costs of the war, "Gen." Jacob g.
Coxey, leader Of the historic march
|of the jobless to Washington in the
Cleveland administration, arrived In
Washington today from his home in
Massillon, Ohio.
1t was just so years ago this week
that almost 1000 men marched from
Massillon in 35 days to ask the Gov
|ernment to do something about un-
employment.
Before leaving Massillon, he said
he again might attempt to speak on
the Capitol steps, recalling his 20
day jail term here in 1894 after
being arrested for treading on the
grass.
81 never get tired" said the gen.
eral, who 10 days ago observed his
Goth birthday anniversary. He had
spent the night on a day coach.
Gen. gCoxey was disappointed that
jeff Davis, King of the Hoboes,' u
who met him, had failed to arrange
appointments with Vice President
Wallace and Speaker Rayburn. The
general will attend a hoboes con-
vention here next week.
He told how the idea of the orig
inal march occurred to him. He
was the prosperous owner of a
quarry producing silica sand for
open-hearth furnaces. His business
was good. But there were soup lines
all over the country. The roads
were in bad shape. He conceived
the idea that if the States, counties,
cities and tax districts deposited
noninterest- bearing bonds and the
Government issued currency on
them that taxes on the resulting
improvements could ultimately re-
deem the bonds.
The general no longer is a we'll
to-do man, but he still owns house
in Massillon, where he lives with his
second wife, to whom he has been
married 54 years. The hobo organ
ization, of which he is a trustee,
raised his fare to Washington.
I'VE are being enslaved by debt
into the worst bondage man has
known" the general said, and
picked up his heavy bag and walked
off to get the leaders of Govern
ment to do something about it.

Pan-American unity"

Dr. Hozen, Surveying Life on 97st Birthday,
Recalls Capital Poqeonty Under ID Presidents

Seventy-two years ago DR.. w. M.
G. Hazen moved into a house at 5l1
East Capitol street that was to be
his home and Office and watched
his professional sign being lettered
in gold on the glass sunburst above
the front door.
DR.. Hazen is 81 years old today
and can look out from the bay WIN
dow of that home and in his minds
eye see a pageant of history. The
man with a black hat and q black
beard rolling by unattended in an
open carriage is President Grant.
The surging crowds pressing in the
streets below are from the inaugu-
rails of IA Presidents.
And now?
washington is still in the en-
bryonic stage" DR.. Hazen says. "You
only have to think of what has
happened to realize what is to come"
It's like him to express the op-
timism of the real estate man in
the language of the physician. Like
many professional men of the old
days, he was active in business pro-
motions. He was president of the
company that built the Congress
Hotel and helped start the National
Capital Bank.
"But made go calls a day." he
said-this with the horse and
buggy-and he got out his old jour-
nails to prove 1t.
DR.. Hazen, who weighed 290
pounds in his prime, suffered rup-
tured vein in his foot two years ago
and has spent almost all his time
sitting at this window since, writing
letters and history of Washington
He is attended by Miss Margaret
Field, his nurse-secretary for the
past As years. His Oldest daughter
lives in the house, and three great
grandchildren-two little boys and a
girl-live next door.
There were lilacs on the window
sill, a picture of President Chester
A. Arthur on the wall and birthday
cards on the little table which had
belonged to President Mckinley.
do you want to know who was
my favorite President?" he asked.
Grover Cleveland. I used to GO
down to Cobb Island with him. He
had good whisky"
DR.. Hazen fixed his blue eyes on
the interviewer.
II haven't had drink for five
years." he said. That's a long
time, isn't it?"
Memories tlImbled over one an
other: The spirited team of bays

OF century and she announced her

She will remain in the United
States while the Prime Minister goes

Herb Sachs, Del Rio proprietor
testified last night he had issued q
ration check totaling 5000 meat

The testimony was in answer to a
charge by District OPA that Mr.

Mr.. Sachs testified the ration
check was issued in October, wner
he agreed to purchase a quantity OF

restaurant owner said, We'll accepted

Bitter Dispute Stirred.
Bitter controversy resulted at the
hearing last night when opposing

bags of different types claimed to be

AS if that wasn't enough, the
company is up against a problem in
its vehicles equipped with nongrind

until the operator checks out for

been dropped in the box and then

stances. Because of the urgency OF
seizing and occupying Guadalcanal
planning was not up to the usual
thorough standards. Certain COM
muication failures made a bad situ-
alton worse. Fatigue was a con-
tributing factor in the degree OF
alertneSs maintained. Generally
speaking, however, we were surprised
because we lacked experience. Need
lss to say, the lessons learned were
fully taken into account.
The immediate consequence of this
cruiser battle was the retirement OF
the enemy force, without any attack
being made on our transports un-
loading men and supplies on the
beaches of Guadalcanal. The loss
of the four cruisers, however, and
the subsequent loss of two aircraft
carriers left us inferior in strength
for several months. The japanese
did not take advantage of this op-
portunity to engage in a feet bat
tie with the balance of power on
their side, probably because they
did not know-and we did not let
them know-how severe our losses
were.
After. the battle of Savo Island,
the Japanese began bombing ma
rine positions and making the ad-
jacent waters almost untenable dur
ing the daylight hours. The Japa-
nese, however, were unable to bring
up reserve ground forces from the
Western Solomons.
Meanwhile, the enemy was con-
centrating his forces in the Rabaul
area. BY August %, it was appar-
ent that a major action was i'm
minent. -
Eastern S0l0mons.
In anticipation of an enemy
move, in force, Vice Admiral
Ghormley had concentrated two
task forces southeast of the island
of Guadalcanal. These were built
around the carriers Saratoga and
Enterprise, and included the battle
ship North Carolina, the cruisers
Minneapolis. Portland, New Orleans
and Atlanta, and IL destroyers. On
the morning of August %, trans
port group was sighted by a search
plane about $50 miles north of the
island.
During the night our combined
force moved north and contact was
made the next morning. In the
afternoon of the Oath, planes from
the Saratoga bombed an aircraft
carrier and in addition damaged a
cruiser and destroyer. While these
attacks were in progress, a flight of
about rs planes attacked the En-
terprise and her escort vessels and
inflicted moderately severe damage
on the Enterprise, in spite OF the
intense antiaircraft fire from es-
corting ships, particularly the North
Carolina. That night, marine air
attack groups from Guadalcanal at
tackled and damaged two more
enemy destroyers, and the next
morning destroyed a transport. In
addition to the foregoing attacks,
Army planes believed they scored a
hit on cruiser, planes from the
Saratoga reported hits on a battle
ship and two cruisers, and marine
pilots reported damage to still an
other cruiser AS a result of the
action, the Japanese were all but
stripped of carrier support and
broke off the fight although their
powerful surface forces were still
largely intact.
