The warning that taxes would have 10 be imposed to pay the bonus will not. make much of an impression on Capitol Hill nor on vhe veterans. The reason is that, while tha billions were asked for other purposes. no mention was made of extra taxes. and it is not considered that the administra- tion will reopen the tax question and atir up all the troubies ensuing there- from just because a bonus bill has been passed In other words. if there were fo be any attention paid to methods of meeting the big expenses being in- eurred, the administration would have revealed iis solicitude on this point long before this. Veto Needed for Curremcy. The truth is promise plan does not provide for any large annual outlay. compared to the Patman or Vinson bills, but the ad- ministration would be in a weak posi- | tion if it approved the Harrison bill at this time. Mr. Roosevelt evidently would rather see the Harrison com- promise adopted. if any measure does become law. but. to be consistent with his previous position, he will veto it on principle. This means that there will be & greater chance of passing the Harri- #on bill over a presidential veto than either of the other measures. There ix also the probability that, when the bonus measure gets to the Senate, it will be modified considerably. In any event. the presidential straiegy today it not 1o approve any bill but to crvstallize as much opposition as pos- #ible in the Senate, so that th amount. actually called for by any measure that passes over a veto will be less than the legislation which passed the House of Representatives.

A full house at the National Press Club Auditorium marked the first Joint meeting of the Advertising Clubs of Washington and Baltimore last night. Guest of honor for the eve- ning was Arthur Brisbane. author and columnist Based on his journalistic and ad- vertising experience, Brisbane out- lined five simple measurements for good advertising. as follows: “You must make people see it." “You must make people read it.” “You must make people under- stand it.” *“You must make people want it.” “You must make people believe it.” Norman C.

Fears for Press Freedom. A warning that attacks on the free- dom of the press in the United States re being made from many sources and in many ways” was given by the A. N. P. A president. Howard Davis of the New York Herald Tribune. in | his opening address to the organiza- tion. “You are all acquainted with the attempt in Louisiana to curtail the freedom of the press through taxa- tion.” he said. “The newspapers of Louisiana ook the case into the Fed- eral Court and obtained an order re- straining the collection of the tax." “There have been bills introduced into Legislatures during the past year which would restrict press freedom.” he pointed out. adding that the bill appearing in the New York Legislature had been stopped before it reached the floor of either House. The bill now before the House of Representatives providing for @ grad- uated tax on pay rolls for the purpese of creating an unemployment and so- cial msurance fund was opposed in the report of the Commitiee on Fed- eral Laws on the ground that it would be unfair to publishers, The report asserted that because newspaper pay rolls must be main- tained even in times of depression the burden on publishers would be “ex- tremely great” unlese the bill was so amended that the varfous industries locked after their own employes. Denies Loss of Money. The Postal Committee asserted in iis report that the Post Office Department | was not losing monev in its handling | of newspapers, and further reported a | steadily decreasing use of the mails in the last few vears because, with the general improvement in roads, papers could be delivered 1o readers more quickly and cheaply by truck. The Postal Committee also pointed out that the plan for delivering un- addressed matter in the malls by carriers had been ordered rescinded by Postmaster General Farley after protests that it was unfair had been made by the A. N. P. A. and other | newspaper organizations. The report of the Paper Commit- tee advocated the buying of news print from American mills as a means of protection against the efforts of the government of the Province of Quebec to force Canadian manufacturers to sell at higher prices than the 193¢ rate. FREE PRESS NEW YORK, April 24 () —The American Civil Liberties Union, at | its annual meeting today, unanimously adopted resolutions opposing certain “gag” measures now before some of ihe Legislatures. “We reaffirm our position in favor of unrestricted freedom of speech and press.” the Liberties Union resolved, “chellenged today by interests fear- ful of change. Specifically, we op- pose the program of legislation spon- sored by the United States Chamber of Commerce, by the American Le- gion, the Daughters of the American Revolution, by the Order of the Elks, and by the Hearst and McFadden press. “All the bills proposed by these reactionary and misguided patriots are un-American in principle and danger- ous in effect.

MIAMI, Fla, April 24.—Testimony that certain authorities, private de- tectives and defense counsel were to divide among themselves & $15,000 reward for the return of $185000 worth of jewelry stolen from Mrs. Margaret Bell, former “Follies” dancer, was introduced today at the trial of two Brooklyn suspects, charged with the hold-up. The testimony was given by Eugene Bryant, Miami Beach detective chief, who said he was instrumental in the return of the jewelry after Nicholas Montone and Charles Cali. the sus- pects, allegedly entered Mrs. Bell's suite, took her jewels and robbed her companion, Harry Content. New York broker, of a watch and approximately $100 in cash. Bryant, who has told two versions of how the jewelry was returned, tes- tified that under the alleged agree- ment to split the $15.000 reward he was to receive $3,500. Another $2,000. Bryant said. was to be given to Benjamin Cohen. attor- ney, as his fee for defending Montone and Cali, and that additional sums were to be paid to other officials who had been involved in the case. He did not mentior any other names. Bryant testified that on the after- noon of March 18 Jack Kehoe, sistant to Fred Pine, county solicitor, told him in a telephone conversation that “I'll have to have $500 more for the fat man.” ‘The term “fat man.” police officers told newspaper men, commonly is used by racketeers to designate the head man of a racket. “Did you say anything to Kehoe over the telephone about his getting a share?” asked Special Prosecutor George Worley. “I told Kehoe,” Bryant said. “he was to get 3500, and he said, ‘When & vacati | vacation.” ” I think wel all need a —=8tar Staft Photo.

SPOKANE, Wash, April 24—The Spokane Central Labor Council an- | nounced vesterday Senators Homer T. Bone and Lewis Schwellenbach of ' Washington, said they would demand & War Department investigation of re- marks reflecting on labor made by Col. Frederick B. Knabenshue, com- mandant of Fort George Wright here. Col. Knabenshue. in an Army day address here, said he believed the American Federation of Labor, through insistence upon enforcement of section 7-A of the national indus- | trial recovery act, was “driving us into | civil war.” Immediately :he Spokane Labor Council demanded that Col. Knabenshue be reprimanded by ‘proper authorities.” ‘The Labor Council received a letter addressed to Secretarv of War Dern signed by Senators Bone and Schwell- | enbach today. In it the Senators were quoted as saying “It is our belief that this statement. if made by the colonel. was. to say the least. unseemly, for the following Teasons | “First. we do not believe that offi- | cers of the United States Army should indulge in exaggerations to the degree exhibited by the colonel “Second. we do not believe Army officers should state in public addresses that the regularly adopted laws of the country. passed by the Congress and signed by the President, will lead to civil war “Third, we think it most unseemly | | that the colonel should see fit to at- | tack an organization such as the American Pederation of Labor. which has done so much to improve the | living standards within the United States “We respectfully request. first. that vou ascertain whether the colonel was | correctly quoted. and. second, that you state whether, if correctly quoted, the sentiments expressed by the colonel reflect the sentiment of the War De- partment.” Col.

Senators from silver-producing States were jubilant over the rising price for that metal Senator Adams, Democrat, of Col- orado predicted doilar silver soon, be- cause “the demand is in excess of the floating supply.” Senator Wheeler, Democrat. of Montana for the same reason thought the rise would not stop short of $129. the figure which | the statute books say is coinage value " of the metal. ilies of the young men.
