Full regular Army retirement pay and privileges would be available for war- time officers with disabilities of 30 per cent or more under a substitute bill re- ported favorable vesterday by the Senate military committee. Such officers would retaln their rank permanently and re- ceive three-fourths of active service pay for life. In case of disabilities of less than 30 per cent and more than 10 per cent they would retain their rank designations, but Senate misleading that in justice to the en- terprise which is now under way, through the efforts of a Virginia cor- poration, of which I have the honor to be president, that I beg permission make most emphatic the fact that the park about which your article evidently writes will not be a govern- ment park, nor will the United States ontribute any part of the needed funds. Impatient of the indifference which the government has all these years axhibited toward a battlefleld park on the fields of Manassas or Bull Run. of which your article accurately speaks., the corporation of which I speak and which your article clearly has in mind has obtained an option on a large tract of the famous fields, has it of record, and with this corporation as an agent the south, the southern people, the southern states, are build- ing a Confederate park. The park will be dedicated to the hrave soldiérs of both armies who were there killed or wounded, but pre-eminently it will be a memorial by the southern people to the Confed- erate soldiers of that war and to the women of the south during that time. but for whom the Confederate soldier would not have been the splendid hero he was. In the initial of the movement it is important, therefore, that a correct understanding of the status, purpose and source of this park should be had by the public. This importance is em- | phasized by the fact that when your paper _containing this interesting ar- ticle_had been off the press only a few hours three persons had phoned to me, and this is the substance of what each said, “If the government is to bulld that park why ask me for a contribution?" The park, therefore, let it be under- stond, which the corporation which your article mentions will create will be achieved by private donations and E. W. R.

President Harding was charged with interfering with the legislative duties of Congress on the floor of the"Senate vesterday by Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi. Senator Harrison criticised the President particularly because of his inteference with the soldiers’ . bonus bill, the unfinished business of the Senatée, which the President has urged be postponed. Senator Harrison called attention to CHEVROLET “For Economical Transportation - IN price, in quality and in cconomy of operation the Chevrolet Model “Four- Ninety” is in a class alone. an address delivered by the President in the Senate chamber in which the Pesident had asserted that the legis- lative branch and executive branch | each have their separate functions in | the government, and that there should be no encroachment of one upon the other.
