as the terminal leave bill. The esti-
mated cost Of this bill was between
/ y and BIZ billions of dollars 1t was
in addition to all other veteran COM
pensation and there was no real ex-
cuse for it-eXcept that terminal
leave pay had been voted officers and
the move to extend it to enlisted men
was hard to oppose. In the House
only one man-James w. Wadsworth,
of New York-failed to vote for it
and in the Senate only one Senator
Robert A. Taft, of Ohio-denounced
it as wrong and was recorded as OPP
posed.
Mr.. Truman signed the bill in Au-
gust. The estimates of its cost were
not exaggerated 1t added more than
$4,000, 100000 to the cost of the
Government. Now, another veteran
bill is on its way which, in the matter
of cost, makes the terminal leave pay
bill look trivial indeed. This is the bill
passed by the House-365 to 27-on
June ,. 1t would give pensions to all
veterans of World Wars | and H. re-
gardless Of whether disability, if any,
resulted from service in the war and
regardless of "employability." In
brief, it would give a pension to every
living veteran and to the widows of
the dead ones. The carefully esti-
mated cost is put at $65,0OO 100000,
over the next so years. This would
impose a crushing financial burden on
future generations and certainly add
to the dangers of a collapse of the
whole Federal fiscal structure. at is, /"
editorially says the New York Times,
"a crude handout which discredits
the veterans organizations that
lobbied for it so effectively and the
House members who voted for it so
irresponsibly."
The question is now whether the
Senate will have the courage to re
iect this appalling proposal, or will
it, as. with the terminal pay bill,
cravenly pass it without a roll call

1t seems incredible that under exist
ing conditions it could become law.
Yet, who can tell? In amy event, those
81 House members who voted mo"
at least ought to be widely known. 1t
is too bad there was no Maryland
name among them. Here they are:
Republicans Gamble, Swim, Hale,
Hall (N.Y), Byincs (WisJ, Case

(Wis.), Eaton, Elston, Heselton,
Kean, Kilburn, Morton, Rich, Tabor,

Harrison Jacobs, holland, Smith

(Texas) -. In addition there were
paired against the bill: Democrats
Hobbs, Mccormack, Sims and Nor
toni; Republicans-M acy, Judd,
and Wadsworth-3 There were 226
Democrats and 1873 Republicans vot-
ing for the bill; Democrats and
Republican paired as favoring.
Considering the activity and power
of the veterans lobby and the huge
majority for the bill, it tool, con
siderable courage for the p mem
bers who voted against and the seven
who were paired against to go on
record. They should have full credit
everywhere as men who, faced with
threats from powerful organized
groups, were unafraid to stand by
their convictions. In the Senate, there
being no veterans pension committee,
this $65OOO,OOO,O handout proposal
has gone to the Finance Committee,
of which Senator George is chair
man, and Senator Byrd and Senator
Taft are members. 1t is not likely to
be killed in this committee but neither
is it likely to come out with favor

There is nothing new in the House
Of Representatives passing an un-
sound bin by am overwhelming vote in
the confident hope that it will be
chokcd to death in a Senate COM
mittee. That is long-established,
though not especially admirable,
method by which House members,
who must run for recollection every
two years, proptate special groups
of voters without disastrous effect
upon the country.
Usually, the senator's, who have to
run only once every six years re-
spond as desired and expected But,
occasionally. the urge to demagogue
and the pressure Of the Hobbies is too
strong for them. In such cases, they
put through the House bin by a viva
voce vote, thus passing the buck to
the President. Sometimes that exalted
official stands up like a man and
vctocs the bill; sometimes he, too,
tunks the test, either signs the bill
or lets it become a law without his
signature. And then the national in
tcrcsts suffer and the blood of the
taxpayers flows more copiously.
Usually, these bills have to do with
pensions or bonuses for the veterans
of recent or remote wars and it is

that the government is preparing in

After holding first place for the
first month of the 1949 season, the
Sea Hawks were knocked off the
top perch in mid-June and suDse-
quently dropped down into the
lower bracket of the standings.
During the stretch drive the sea
Hawks, the Cambridge Md Dodg-
ers, and the Seaford (Del) Eagles
became involved in three-corner-
ed tussle for possession OF fourth
place, with final decision resting on
tie outcome of games played the
final day of the regular seasonal
Dor Day. After the smoke of battle
cleared Labor Day evening, the
Sea Hawks were in fourth place,
but only by a margin of one-half
game over fifth-place Seaford, and
one full game over sixth-place
Cambridge.
Iii semi-finals play, the Sea
Hawks got off to good start with
clean sweep of two-game SER
les with Salisbury, but did not fare
quite as we'll in similar series with
the fredericksburg Feds and Easton
Yankees, resulting in Easton and
Rehoboth being tied for second
place in semi-finals standings and
making necessary one-game play
off to decide which team, the Yam.
KEGS or Sea Hawks, should meet the
Feds in the final series. However
the Sea Hawks were equal to tht

so honored. Last week he received
word of his appointment as depart

of Arizona's American Legion for
the year 1949-1950.
Rev. Johnson was chaplain in

Department Adjuant James T..

"Dear Comrade:

Being selected for the position of
Department Chaplain is indeed a
very high honor and we here at
Department Headquarters are very
happy that you have been selected.
We are also confident that you will
bring prestige and outstanding
service to the Department"
This is considered to be very
outstanding honor to anyone. Be-
