LEGION INFLUENGE HAILED BY RANKIN Mississippi Representative | Declares Veterans Pre- vented Revolution in U.S. ‘ Washingtonians were treated last| night to the biggest parade since the | Shriners’ Convention. Ten thousand | looked on as nearly 3,000 paraders marched from John Marshall place | to the Mayflower Hotel, where the‘ District department, American Legion, opened its annual convention. | After stepping a couple of miles to the music of 20 bands, Legion | members were urged at the Mayflower to step some more. | “Step on the faces of politicians in | and out of the Legion who would | make the Legion a political tool,” the convention was exhorted by James | A. Drain, past national commander of the Legion and present national treasurer and judge advocate. Drain praised District Legion posts for securing the largest membership gains during the past year. Rankin Praises Legion. Representative Rankin of Missis- sippi, chairman of the House World | War Veterans' Legislation Committee, characterized the Legion as “the greatest stabilizing force in America,” and told the convention the United | States would have been plunged into | & “vicarious revolution if it had not been for the influence of the World ‘War veterans.” Rankin was cheered for his plea for more liberal veterans'| benefits. | In an address of welcome, Commis- sioner Melvin C. Hazen complimented the Legion for its stand against “isms.” James O'Connor Roberts, depa ment commander, told Commissioner Hazen the Legion would work with him to secure more playground facil- ities, a larger police force and & Na- tional Guard armory for the District. J. Ernest Isherwood, Pennsylvania Legion department commander, made & brief address on behalf of the five visiting department commanders from Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Del- aware and New Jersey. Col. Joyce Receives Cup. | A large silver cup was presented to | Col. Kenyon A. Joyce, commander of the 3d United States Cavalry, for the assistance given by himseif and his command at Fort Myer on occasions | of Legion celebrations. Col. Joyce was grand marshal of last night's parade, riding on horseback immediately be- hind Police Supt. Maj. Ernest W. Brown, who rode in a car at the head ©of the procession. The parade began shortly after 7 o'clock and followed an unusual route, | turning off Pennsylvania avenue at‘ Thirteenth street, moving north to | | | Upper: The opening of the American Legion Convention. at the Mayflower last night, showing principal speakers—J.

Maps New Hearings. Meanwhile, after declaring that ul- timately consumers of gas and elec- tricity must bear the cost of a $5,000,- 600 lobby against the utilities bill, Chairman Black of the Senate Lobby Committee mapped new hearings for the future. His prediction that the foes of the | bill eventually would be shown to have | spent $5,000,000 was made in a radio K street, west to Connecticut avenue | Speech last night over The Washing- | and north before the reviewing stand ton Evening Star Forum.

Assistant Secretary of War Woodring | witnessed the parade from the re- | viewing stand. 57 Cars In Parade. There were 57 automobiles in the parade and seven floats. World War mothers and a small number of Civil War veterans rode in cars. The float displays ranged from advertising stunts with pretty girls to a tableau of the Battle of Fort Stevens, with Lincoln standing at the ramparts. The awarding of prizes for bands had to be deferred because the judges be- lieved all about equal. Among the nine divisions of the parade were a group of Italian war '] veterans who gave the Fascist salute when passing the reviewing stand. Also there was a float from the Tank Corps Post, No. 10, from which sky- rockets and firecrackers flashed. The department tonight will nomi- nate its officers for the coming year and consider resolutions which in- clude demands for immediate cash payment of the bonus, increased hospitaliation facilities for District veterans, a more detailed veterans’ preference law and increased rank for naval warrant officers. Awards Announced. Maj. Paul J. McGahan, chairman of the convention’s Trophies and Awards Committee, announced an- nual awards of prizes for Legion dis- tinction as follows: The Watson B. Miller Trophy for *“unselfish service” to Comdr. John H. O’'Connell of the Vincent B. Costello Post, the Spafford Trophy to the permanent possession of the Sergt. | Jasper Post, which won it thrice; the Mrs. Kate K. Briggs Trophy for com- munity service, the J.

Davis, Democratic presidential nominee “in 1924; Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War in Wilson’s cabinet; Henry L. Stimson, President Hoover's Secretary of State, and James M. Beck, former Republican solicitor general and Representative from Pennsylvania. Committee members said they wanted to know how much power companies paid these men in fees and the exact nature of their activities and ascer- tain, if possible, the line of demarca- tion between legal practice and lob- bying. $1,500,000 Spending Uncovered, Already, Black said, his committee had uncovered expenditures of $1,500,- 000 in the drive against the utilities bill and its provision calling for man- datory abolition of “unnecessary” holding companies. In his speech last night he asserted that the “lobby has reached such a position of power that it threatens the Government itself.” Addressing himself to consumers, the Alabaman said: “The books of your local company will show these expenses as a part of the cost of delivering electricity to you.” Howard C. Hopson, dominant figure in Associated Gas & Electric, is still | eluding the would-be subpoena servers of the House Rules Committee, which also is investigating lobbying for and against the utilities bill. The investigators of the Senate com- mittee had given up the chase, ex- pecting that in good time Hopson would appear voluntarily. The sleuths of the House, however, were still busy running down various unproductive tips that he might be found in nearby localities. Testimony by Hurley.

One person was in- jured seriously. Shipyard workers also demonstrated at_Cherbourg. Informed sources said the disorders were certain to be discussed at Premier Laval's conference, since the prefects, or provincial governors, are in charge of the police forces in their regions. Laval in a statement promised busi- ness revival if the “nation’s discipline” responded to his decree laws. Twenty-three industrial import quotas were abolished by one of the 83 decree laws issued in preparation, Laval said, for economic recovery. Which quotas were abolished was not immediately announced. Gradual elimination of the quotas in an effort | to stimulate foreign trade and busi- | ness recovery had long been forecast.

By the Associated Press. Robert W. Lyons counsel for seve eral large chain store systems, con- tinued today to refuse to answer questions about anti-legislative opera- tions in various States and demanded that he be put under subpoena by a special House committee investigating “super-lobbies” and chain store prac- tices. Lyons, who said he represented 14 chains, including the Woolworth, Kress and Kresge variety store sys- tems, the Walgreen drug chain and J. C. Penny stores, interrupted the inquiry with a refusal, on advice of his counsel, to answer any more ques- tions without being subpoenaed. Promptly the papers were served on him, but he still declined to tell the committee who had represented him in Texas and New Mexico campaigns against State legislation affecting his clients. He told the committee he considered it entirely ethical to hire local at- torneys on a contingent basis and give them as much as $2,000 extra if they succeeded in bringing defeat of legislation discriminatory to chains. He asserted he never had employed a member of any State Legislature who was in office or spent any money for anything except counsel fees to defeat legislation. But, he said, he employed men for legal ability and “contacts.” While the older ‘“children” are in- trigued with the lovely carved pink | roses, yellow lemons, white sculptured | elephants or figures. | For sm Stamp Collectors Busy.- Samp collecting in England is hav- ing a record season.
