tributed in excess of $500, 900 to the Legion
in the early months, the Legion leadership has
always been extremely sensitive about this
early financing and has consistently refused
to divulge the names of those who gave or
loaned the money
Obtaining financial aid from big business
has not been limited to the Legion's early
days. In 1913, for instance, the Legion
leaders accepted an offer from representa-
tives of the NAM - the New York Times
called it "a proposal from business sources
to finance the Legion's Americanism program
program with $40 million fund
According to the Times, the $40 million
offer was made by R. H. Barnard then the
executive vice president of the Owens-Illinois
Glass Company, who presented the idea to
the Legions national leadership with the as
surance that funds would be readily available
The idea for this $40 million campaign,
Barnard explained, originated at a gathering
of persons interested in the future of free
enterprise and American initiative" who
were brought to Washington, DC, in Jan
uary, 1913, by T. Spencer Shore of. the Gen
eral Tire Company and W. E. Lewis, chair
man of the board of Owens-Illinois Glass
both heavy contributors to the NAM.
Barnard was quite frank in explaining
why the NAM itself did not publicly spon-
the campaign. cit might be misunder-
stood" the Times quoted him as saying
AS result study made of all the
available organizations which might be
able to handle campaign of such proper
tions and sponsor the education of the
public through all channels of opinion"
The American Legion got the nod.

editorial, "Any half way measures will mean failure

Parole Board Ruling
Awaited on Retailing
-Four Capone Mobsters
BY the kssocioied Press

| An imminent ruling by the Fed
eral Parole Board was awaited to-
day by the congressional commit
tee which recommended tossing back
into prison four one-time members
of the "Capone mob"
| A spokesman for the House Elk
penditures Committee said no
further congressional action is con-
| templated "at this time"
! The committee said in formal
report late yesterday that Louis
Campagna, Charles Gioe, Philip
D,Andrea and Paul Delucia, alias
Ricca, should resume serving their
l0-year sentences for violating anti
racketeering laws.
The four were paroled last August
after having served three and one
half years. They were convicted In
New York in 1914 of conspiracy to
extort 100000 from the movie
industry by threats OF labor strife
and violence.
Picked Up in Chicago.
Delucia, known also as "the
Waiter" was picked up yesterday in
Chicago for parole violation on
warrant issued by the Federal Parole
Board. The Government said he
failed to make full, and truthful
written reports" to the parole super
visor.
Several hours after his arrest De-
lucia was released on $4,000 bail on
habeas corpus writ pending
hearing July s. One of the charges
that led to his arrest was a Gov
ernment claim that he had failed
to report a $4,000 expenditure, in
Guiding $4,000 for champagne, for
his daughters wedding reception
last January,
Last week the Expenditures Com
mittee, headed by Representative
Hoffman, Republican, of Michigan,
was promised by the Federal Parole
Board that 1t would decide not later
than this Saturday whether to re-
woke the paroles of all four men.
In its report based on hearings
conducted by Mr.. Hoffman here and
in Chicago, the committee said the
paroles were "improvidently grant,
ed and ought to be revoked be-
cause of fraudulent concealment
of the facts"
Large Sums of Money Paid"
Large sums of money were paid
to obtain the granting Of these pa
roles the committee said 1t added
it has been unable to find out where
the money came from, but there
is no evidence that any portion of

the money used was paid to any
Official as a bribe."
The committee said Attorneys
Paul Dillon of st. Louis and Maury
Hughes OF Dallas, who represented
the quartet after they were jailed,
were "in a position to exert influ-
ence with those in authority"
Mr.. Hughes is personal friend
of Attorney General Clark and Mr.
Dillon a personal friend of Presi-
dent Truman. the report said, but
added:
The committee has adduced no
evidence to indicate that President
Truman had any knowledge of the
matter"
Commenting that the Federal
Parole Board had taken no action
on the four men since the COM
mittee began its investigation seven
months ago, the report asked:
Can it be that the same influ-
ences which caused the paroles to
be granted in the first place are
still operating?"

Increased

That gains can be made In
state labor legislation, even when
the foes of labor are seeking
and winning regressive laws, is
keown by the fact that legisla-

creased amounts Which must be
paid to workers in compensation
for on-the-job injuries.
The Council of State Govern
ments points out that Is states
now pay up to $25 a week com

mum of $50 a week is paid for
temporary disability. Six states
passed laws in 1947 providing
improved medical care, while
death benefits for dependents of
those killed in occupational ac-
cidents were increased in 20
states.
In addition, six states enacted
laws giving protection against
loss of health from occupational
diseases, bringing the total of
states with such legislation to
80. Laws creating funds to COM
pensate for second injuries were
passed in 6 states, bringing the
