By the Associated Press. MIAMI, Fla, March 28.—A five- point legislative program to be present- ed to the American Legion at its next convention, calling for reversal of the Legion's action last year in seeking immediate cash payment of the bonus, was made public here yesterday by Col. Henry Lindsley, first national com- mander of the body. Col. Lindsley said he expected to pre- sent the plan first to the National Ex- ccutive Committee, prior to having it brought before the national convention. | Following are the reccmmendations embedied in the program: 1. Indorse and support the President of the United States in his national economy program, including the pay- ments he will determine as just and fair after July 1, 1933, to World War veterans and their dependents. 2. Reverse the action of the Port- land ccnvention demanding the imme- 1 face value in'1945 and put the Legion on record as expecting from the Gov- ernment only that payment of adjusted compensation or insurance certificates agreed to by the Government and the veteran when the act of 1924 was passed by Congress and reafirmed by each veteran when he has received his cer- ficate. Request the Congress, if and when ustifies, to pay all veterens of the World War on de- mand, in cash, the value of thelr certi- ficotes at time of payment, such value to be the amount of the grant in 1924, plus: (A) 1-20 of 25 (eight-tenths of dates of the certificates to the dates of payments, and (B) interest at the rate ! of 4 per cent per annum, compounded annually, from the dates of the certifi- cates to the dates when they may be paid: thus making no addition to the obligation of the Government, nor to the burden of the taxpayer, but enabling the veteran to receive the accumulated value of his certificate at any time he may desire the cash, providing the Gov- ernment can anticipate these payments without endangering the national credit. 4. Determine the fixed legislative principle of the Legion to be Govern- ment assistance shall be requested solely for (A) the dependents of thos® who die as direct result of war, and (B) vho become inc: ganizations at Washinaton, consolidat- ing 2l legislative k at national hcadguarters of the Legion.

I'LL SPEAK TO THEE IN SILENCE—SHAKESPEARE. e v diate cash payment of the bonus at its| ™ Legend, Goes Poetic. BY JAMES H. STREET. By the Associated Press. MOSS POINT, Miss, March 28— The Pascagoula River is chanting its|wa! Spring litany again—a song no man understands. Its origin is a mystery, its meaning is an enigma. The stream—moody songster of the South’s river clan—really chants a wild, eerie rhythm at certain seasons. Some say the ghastly music is the croak of a fish. Others say it's the whine of the rifer and wind as they play around the cypress trees. And others who are more romantic than accurate say the chant is the requiem of the Pascagoula Indians—a lost tribe whose legends tell that the Indians joined hands and marched into the river, singing a song of hate of white m°n and white men’s ways. Be what it may, the chant is distinct sufficiently to attract travelers who come for miles and miles to marvel at the river's strange behavior. The Pascagoula is a fickle stream that rises in Southeast Mississippi and | gushes into the Gulf. It twists and bends like a constrictor in agony. few hardwood mills flank its banks. Sullen alligators float on its dark ters. Just before it swells its chest and pours into the Gulf, the river eddles through cypress swamps—dark, musty grottoes. And there at night the chant is heard. ‘The moon rises with a jerk over the Pascagoula, and hanging like a yellow lantern over the gaunt cypress trees, casts crazy shadows across the stream. A damp wind, heavy with the burdens of its Spring mission, rocks the trees, and then the river sings. A whine first—like the cry of a colt lost from its mother. Then an eerie, low-pitched shriek. And next a moan— a sign that might be the murmur of the east wind through the cypress swamps. ‘The moon sets and the dawn scatters the river mist over the Gulf before the song is ended. And the Pascagoula by day is just another river, a harbor for the bustling little city that bears its name.
