Jchnson, national commander of the American Legion, in an address here tcnight, in which he urged con- tinuation of veterans' appropriations. spoke of Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd as “unwittingly and unintentionally” the “stalking horse for the one person out of 3,000 cf our population who is against the veterans of America.” Speaking at a public meeting, Comdr Johnson described the Legion as “a spontancous thing, born with the sound of battle ringing in our ears,” and said | “the first love, the first obligation end | duty of the American Legion is re- habilitaticn.” ! He spoke of “an organized crowd of clever opponents who are not disinter- ested in relieving themselves of the re- sponsibility of taxation,” and charged that they “misrepresent facts deliberate- 1y, they are inciting class against class.” Facts and Figures Offered. Facts and figures were cited to show that Federal tax burdens are not soj heavy and have not increased in the manner as State and local taxes. }“I ARTICULATE MASSES” SPEAK | THEIR MINDS ABOUT DEPRESSION CONTINUED FUNDS !Butc}xer, Baker and EDITOR'S NOTE—What is the mass o7 American people thinking about today in these times of stress and depression?

U. S. RELEASES SHIP BUILT FOR DIAMOND| Bonds of $10,000 Are Posted to Cover Claims Against “Mys- tery” Vessel. By the Associated Press GLOUCESTER, Mass,, November 26. —The “mystery ship,” reputedly Wmilt for the late Jack “Legs” Diamond, which has been tied up at a Gloucester wharf just two years, was released to- day by Federal officials after bonds of more than $10,000 had been posted to cover numerous claims against her which were pending in Federal Court. An ocean-going tug was en route| from Halifax, presumably to tow her out of American waters. Wednesday night a report that an attempt would be made to take the vessel away surrep- titiously caused a deputy United States marshal to rush a guard from Boston. The vessel has never borne an official name. She has been known here as the Lois B, but insurance agents say she was called Pat when attempts were made to_insure her. Her hull was built in a Connecticut shipyard and she was then taken to a New Bedford yard for additional work. She arrived in Gloucester at the end of a tow rope, after the company which installed her twin engines declined to “hook them up.” The craft was built ostensibly as a fisherman, but after Pederal officials e | scrutinized her high-speed engines and double bottom, both features uncommon to fishermen, no attempt was made to send her “fishing” under American registry. Claims against the vessel include one of $7,000 brought by the engine com- pany and another of $3,000 brought by lew Bedford boller works. The ves- sel, although not as yet equipped with spars, is of wooden construction and about the size of the average Banks fisherman.

Just why Costa Rica should be the spearhead of such a movement, which obviously would affect the case of El Salvador, is not clear to observers here. State Department officials attributed failure of Manuel Quesada to gain the | presidency by revolution after the clec- tion of the present president, Ricardo | Jimenez, several months ago in part | to the Salvadorean example of the working of this recognition policy. ‘The temporarily successful Diaz and Chamorro revolutions in Nicaragua eventually failed, it is said, because of this treaty, which will be 10 years old in February. | The State Department has not com- | mitted itself upon the new movement. Theoretically, the independent repub- lics of Central America alone are in- volved in any contemplated change in the treaty.
