LEGION HEADS 10 PUSH BONUS Called to Indianapolis Tues- day for Discussion on Vinson Bill Plans. By the Associated Press. The National Executive Committee of the American Legion has been called to meet Tuesday in Indianap- olis, ostensibly to give a fresh push to the Vinson soldiers’ bonus bill providing for cash payment, but leav- ing to the Treasury how the money is to be raised. Beaten in the House, which ap- proved the Patman measure calling for payment in $2,200,000,000 of new currency, Legion officlals said they believed the Vinson plan had a bet- ter chance of Senate approval. They also thought this bill would be more acceptable to the White House. Leaders See Veto. Senate leaders, however, continued to claim neither of these bills would be approved by the President and clung to their prediction a veto could be sustained in their branch. Whether or not the 1938 elections have any- thing to do with it, they are hope- Members of Girl Scout Troop No. 23 who appeared in a play, “Lords and Ladies From Sir Richard’s Court,” last week at the Hillcrest Children's Village.

Negotiations to this end thus far have failed to make much headway. No plans have been made for con- sideration of the House bill by the Senate Finance Committee, the ques- tion having been delayed until Presi- dent Roosevelt returns from his Southern cruise. There is a possibility that the N. R. A. extension bill, if it requires much more of the committee’s time, might be sidetracked temporarily un- til disposal of the bonus. Chairman Harrison has announced only brief bonus' hearings would be held on the latter. No one knows how the Senate would line up on the bonus in the first in- stance since all votes on the question in recent years have been taken on riders to other bills and no straight- out test has been provided. Bonus Main Question. The bonus is only one of several topics that will engage the attention of the Legion Committee next week, but officials here said it would be the main one. The group, headed by Frank N. Belgrano, jr., national commander, is expected to survey the progress of its four-point program adopted at the Miami convention—cash payment of the bonus with cancellation of inter- est on bonus loans and refunding of interest already paid; adequate na- tional defense, universal service and| widows’ and orphans’ aid. Legion leaders were described as “happy” over the final passage of the War Department appropriation | bill calling for an increase of 46,250 in the Army’s enlisted strength. They also were said to be anxious that the Senate Munitions Committee | would evolve a program for universal draft and limiting war profits such as the Legion advocated at its last meeting. INSURANCE HEAD DIES BALTIMORE. March 30 (A —F.] Highland Burns, 61, chairman of the board of Directors of the Maryland Casualty Co., died suddenly tonight. Born in Baltimore, Burns was edu- cated at Episcopal High School, Rich- mond, Va., and at Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology, Boston. Community Ches The Community Chest reports that its affiliated organizations aid, in some manner, more than one=- Jourth of the entire population of Washington during the year. This is one of a series of stories appear= ing in The Star each Sunday show- ing typical ezamples of the aid given. I most people such homes are popularly supposed to take only children whose parents are no longer able to support them and to keep these children over periods of years. An entirely different picture is painted by Miss L. Elizabeth Thomas, superintendent of the Washington Home for Foundlings, who points out that this institution is constantly ready to come to the assistance of & family even if it involves keeping the children for only a few days or for several weeks. Such an instance she pointed out in the case of one young- ster who left the home recently. Seeking a new environmasst, & young | couple came to Washington in the latter part of 1933. They had saved a little money for their new venture and shortly after they and their 3- month-old baby were ensconced in a little apartment ,the father found work. For a year everything went fine. The man worked daily, the baby was growing and the couple were en- abled to add a small sum to their savings. | Then misfortune struck. The father | lost his job. | Couple Fight on Bravely. EW people think of a children’s home as an emergency haven for children. In the minds’of Still cheerful, the young couple kept | up the battle, the mother finding a little work at times and the family living on their meager savings in the meantime. | Food became scarce. They could no longer pay rent for the little apart- ment. They were forced to move to one room. Still they persevered. Then the mother, overworked, be- came ill. An instructive visiting nurse, called to the home, decided that the mother must go to the hospital for a period of several weeks at least. The couple had no relatives in Washington. There was no one to care for the baby. The one-room | residence precluded the bringing in of | any one to look after the little one. even if there had been funds to pay | i# for such help. There were no such funds. | g The mother refused to go to the|f hospital. Lying at home growing weaker, she still insisted that she § would not leave her baby. The father, still out of work, could do nothing. Foundlings Home Suggested. | | Then the nurse suggested that t.hei § ‘Washington Home for Foundlings is SPURT WILL CLOSE | Oliver Strunk and G.

Following reports of widespread in- terest in the National Symphony Orchestra’s drive for a $100,000 sus- taining fund, committee chairmen | and volunteer workers will adopt a | vigorous policy of solicitation in the last three days of the campaign, scheduled to close Tuesday. At a luncheon meeting at cam- paign headquarters in the Carlton Hotel yesterday, Mrs. Tracy Dows and Dr. George McClellan, chairman of the General Sustaining Committee, expressed themselves as more than pleased with the progress of the drive, especially with contributions received from unexpected quarters. Reports were heard from the Met- ropolitan Comittee, headed by Mrs. Walter Bruce Howe and Leland Har- rison; the Suburban Committee, headed by Mrs. Edwin B. Parker; the Business Committee, headed by Mrs. lop; the Army Committee, headed H. Woodring; the Government Com- mittee, headed by Mrs. Ernest Gruen- ing and Marriner S. Eccles; the As- sociations Committee, headed by Mrs. Reeve Lewis and Harold N. Marsh; the National Committee, headed by | Mrs. Alice Longworth and John D. Kennedy, and the Educational Com-\ mittee, headed by Miss Grace Dun- | ham Guest and Dean Henry Grattan Doyle. The fund will enable the musicians of the National Symphony to be paid a living wage, and make possible an enlarged program of Summer con- certs and additional Winter and stu- dents’ concerts. Dollars in Action supported by public contributions through the Community Chest for just such emergencies as this. The nurse | agreed to go to the home and arrange for the care of the youngster. Of course, she was told the home would be glad to take care of the baby, now starting into his second year, and the transfer was quickly effected. Still doubtful, the young mother in- there she saw the careful, efficient care given other babies. She was instantly convinced and made ready to go to the hospital. That was three months age. A few days ago the young couple came to the Washington Home for PFoundlings and announced that they were ready to take the baby home with them. The father has found a job and the mother is fully recovered from the illness which sent her to the hospital. The baby was turned back to its parents and they are once more estab- lished in a little -partment, and as the man told Miss Thomas, “If the Community Chest provides for a baby home like this, the solicitor won't have any trouble getting whatever I can give when the next campaign comes around.” Let us share the shore with you CHALFONTE HADDON HALL Now’s & prime time.

CLEVELAND, March 30.—A “lie de- | tector” said Frank and Albert Basey | are innocent of the crimes charged against them, but it failed to convince | a Criminal Court judge today.
