B.EF WL HONGR THOSLANINRITS Rift Temporarily Forgotten Today as 2,500 Plan Ar- lington Visit. Differences between the so-called left | and right wings of the bonus army will be temporarily forgotten today while the approximately 2,500 veterans en-| camped at Fort Hunt unite in | morial services at the graves of Hushka | and Carlson, the two B. E. F. members | killed in the bonus rots of last Sum- | mer. | Under plans agreed upon last night, the veterans will join delegations of Gold Star Mothers, American War Mothers and Veterans of Foreign Wars Ppost commanders in Arlington National | Cemetery about 1 p.m ‘ If the bonus marchers can raise the | necessary funds, it was decided at the | session, wreaths will be purchased by | the committee in charge and placed | on the ‘graves of the two B. E. F. mem- | bers and at the Tomb of the Unknown | Soldier. A campaign to raise the price | of the wreaths was begun by Ralph Voight. Tommy Tomlinson and John ! L. Sullivan. right wing members of | the committee. Plan Trip in Busses. | The arrangements agreed upon call for the veterans to start leaving Fort Hunt at 9 am. in busses to be provided by the Veterans' Administration. On the Men Highway they are sched- uled to meet tI Gold Star Mothers here from Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey—and proceed to the ceme- . picking up the other delegations g the v | Voight, Tomlinson and Sullivan, all | Folders of Distinguished Service Crosses, will be at the head of the parade. A | bugler to be chosen by Mike Thomas, | leader of the rizht-wing faction, will | blow taps over the graves. | Efforts were being made last night to | obtain the services of the band of Vic- | tory Post, American Legion. | xamination of the records following | the session disclosed that the Thomas | group, which had comprised less than 200 men when it entered the camp | after several days and nights spent on Washington - lots, had grown to about | 2,000. The other faction, on the other | hand, had shrunk from more than 1,000 to less than 500. Training Will Start. Tomorrow the fort will become a training camp for Citizens' Conserva- tion Corps recruits, with more than 2,000 veterans' signatures on enlist- ment cards for work in the forests. Those who do not sign up for service in President Roosevelt's reforestation army by the time the deadline arrives will not be permitted to remain in the camp. Thomas, who, after a conference with the President, induced the veterans to join the conservation corps, still was undecided last night as to his own plans. He said he was considering remaining out of the reforestation army and de- voting all his time to building up a strong organization to carry on the fight for payment of the bon While the veterans were executing an about-face from their previous attitude of disapproval of the President’s offer to take them into the conservation corpe, the Government was preparing to hold out fatter pay envelopes as an | incentive for harder work by members | of the reforestation army. Effective Next Week. me- within the Conservation Corps wil something more than the regulation $1 a day already has been approved by President Roosevelt and will be- come effective next week. In each of the 1,350 camps which will | be created to take care of the 270,000 | o5¢ leaders will be selected and their pay | raised to $45 a month. In addition, 16! assistants will be chosen and their en- velopes filled with $36 each month. | To date a total of 118 work camps | have been established on Federal and State timber lands to 70,000 men en- listed. Eighty-one were occupied dur- ing the last week. The increase in enrollment an- nounced yesterday is attributed di- rectly to President Roosevelt’s order of May 13 directing that 275,000 men should be placed in forest work camps by July 1. To obtain this objective it will be necessary to send men to the Army conditioning camps at the rate of 8540 men per day until June 7, when the last of the men to be selected for forestry work would be enrolled ac- cording to present plans, It was explained at the conservation headquarters that this rate of enroll- ment is greater than the average for the United States during the World | War for both Army and Navy com- bined. The Army's part is to enroll the men to build the camps and move the men into the forest camps.

C, MAY 21, W'LEOD T0 BACK HIS OWN SALES TAX Michigan Republican Says Proposal Will Cost U. S. Family $2 Annually. Representative McLeod, Republican, of Michigan, announced yesterday he would appear before the House Ways and Means Committee to support his rage American family only $2 a year. Compared with the more than $20 country’s more than 24.000,000 automo- bile owners, McLeod said, the tax would | be negligible, and yet, at the same time, | imported goods, it would provide additional revenue to- ward financing the proposed $3,300,000,~ 000 public works program. “The need for additional revenue to finance the public works program,” he declared, “has placed additional empha- sis on the inadequacy of existing tax legislation, as well as the necessity for prompt revision to remove many of the unjust and discriminatory features of the excise taxes included in the revenue act of 1932. “Not only are the special excise taxes levied on a few industries extremely burdensome, but they are unfair and inequitable, The alarming decline in registration of motor vehicles at the rate of 200,000 a month is ample proof of the great harm being inflicted upon the automotive industry by the present special levies. “The value of the sales tax has been proven by the completely satisfactory | results obtained by each of the ap- proximately 30 nations that have adopt- |ed it in one form or another. It has can be relied upon to produce the nec- | essary revenue to carry on the func- | tions of government in times of stress and economic emergenc; McLe nted out that his bill pro- vides a of 2, per cent on the | wholesale value of manufactured and with exemption on foods, clothing less than $25‘in whole- sale value, tools, farm and garden prod- u‘cumlnd & long list of other necessities of life. Because of these exemptions, he said, the average tax to be paid by families with incomes as high as $2,500 a year would be approximately $2. ‘This tax, he declared, would provide the $220,000,000 required annually to finance the public works bond issue and repeal the present discriminatory ex- cise taxes “that are seriously aggravat- ing the evil effects of the depression.” FOOD LECTURER DEAD Kate Brew Vaughn Widely Funown as Culinary Expert.
