REQUESTS FOR AID TO EXCEED RELIEF FUNDS Money Made Available by Congress Likely to Be Gone by December. BY RUTH FINNEY Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, July 28.—Requests Tor twice as much money lor emergency hunger relief as congress made available will be filed with the Reconstruction Finance Corporation during the next few weeks, according to present indications. Thirteen states already have made known that they will ask for loans totaling $181,550,000. Thirty states have signified their intention of asking aid without making known in all cases the amounts of their requests. If all forty-eight states should ask help in proportionately the same amounts as the f.rs f thirteen the total requested womd be $670,339,000. Won't Last Until December Congress hoped that the $300,000,000 provided for this purpose would be sufficient to tide the states over for two years. According to present Indications it will be exhausted long before congress meets in December. The reconstruction corporation in announcing its. $3,000,000 loan to Illinois Wednesday served notice that it would require proof that all of the avenues of raising money had been exhausted. The announcement said “in making funds available under the new act for the relief of destitution, the board desires to say that the corporation will expect all states to meet their nerds to the greatest extent possible from their public and private sources and call upon the corporation only as a last resort to supplement their own efforts.’’ Tile relief act contemplated that any state asking help in caring for its needy should be given the money, up to 15 per cent of the total fund, as soon as its Governor filed application in correct form. Loans May B> Delayed This form required that the Governor certify the state’s need of the money for which he asked, and also that resources of the state, including moneys available from political subdivisions and private contributions are inadequate to meet relief needs. This last clause may be used by the corporation as the basis of denying or reducing the amount of certain requests, in order to make the $300,000,000 provided go around. However, if it attempts to make a thorough survey of the resources of all states and communities, loans may be considerably delayed. The act specifically provides that tin application for a loan shall be denied because of constitutional inhibitions in any state against borrowing, or because the state already has borrowed to the full extent authorized by law.

THOUSANDS IN BONUS ARMY NEVER SAW SERVICE IN WORLD CONFLICT

BY TALCOTT POWELL Time* SUff Writer YXTASHINGTON, July 28. Congress has adjourned, but Washington still has its bonus army. Exercising the Immemorial right of citizens to petiton the government, these veterans descended on the capital almost two months ago. They have been there ever since. Their numbers have increased to something in the neighborhood of 18.000. Who are they? What do they actually hope to gain by their demonstration? Why do they stay on? Who are their leaders? No one can answer these questions completely, yet mixing with members of this strangely disci-

plined gathering and checking their records gives some hint to the replies. The veterans administration made a secret check of all available names of bonus marchers submitted to Washington police. This check indicated that about 20 per cent of the members of the bonus army had not been connected with the service during the World war. n u * THERE never has been any official release of this survey. The Veterans’ Administration felt that many of the bonus marchers had given false names when the police took a census of them and thus the result of the investigation

was withheld as statistically vulnerable. When the veterans began to march on the Capital their leaders made every effort to establish the fact they all had in fact served in the war. Any one who wanted to join up with the cause had to show an honorable discharge from the army or a bonus certificate. Many of the group led by Communist John Face, twice arrested, appear to be far too young to have served in the World war. A reporter approached several, who, judging by their appearance, must have been 8 or 10 years old when they were in the army, and questioned them about their service. They simply refused to be

Wheel Chair Now Rarely Is Used by Roosevelt

Governor Can Make Only Few Strides Without Aid of Cane or Helper. Democratic leaders claim that a “whispering campaign'’ has been started concerning the health of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, and they plan to combat it. The United Press presents a story of the Governor's health, and history of his paralysis case, as a factual objective news story in the light of public interest in the situation. BY PAUL H. KING United Press Staff Correspondent ALBANY, N. Y., July 28. Franklin D. Roosevelt's crippled legs, which he used to help steer a forty-foot yawl on a recent sixday sailing cruise, are gaining strength rapidly as he enters his campaign for the presidency. Although the limbs which bear his 200-pound body have been shrunken by infantile paralysis, and once were useless, Roosevelt feels sure they eventually will be restored to practical normalcy. The New York Governor can make only a few strides without the aid of a cane or a helper. He can make little headway with a cane over short distances. He summons assistance when climbing stairs. He leans on a supporter w'hen he talkes long walks. The paralysis was believed to have been contracted in Washington in 1921, although he was not actually stricken until later, while on a yacht trip off the coast of Maine. Roosevelt was cruising along the coast when he toppled out of a small boat while fishing, and caught cold. A few days later, after climbing from a swimming pool, he trotted some distance to a camp, and. without drying himself, sat in a draft.

pinned down, preferring to talk about the immediate payment of the bonus. Some members of the Robertson California contingent were equally evasive. One of the most pathetic figures in the never-ending march of the California group before tlje Capitol was a middleaged man wearing a tatered blouse of war-time vintage, an overseas cap and a huge bandage about his head He had to be assisted in his walk by two other men in the line. n a m HE joined feebly in the two bonus army songs, “President Hoover.

The cold grew worse, and he was taken to a New York hospital. “The same, night,’’ a friend said, “The Governor became ill." Roosevelt made his first strides toward recovery from the ailment in 1924 when he visited Warm Springs, Ga., to' bathe in the healing southern waters. Attaches of his household said, however, that his greatest gains have been made in Albany since he became Governor. The Democratic standard bearer usually walks about the executive mansion with a cane or a supporter, despite the fact a wheel chair is at his disposal. He rarely uses it. He wears iron braces when walking or standing. He releases them when not moving. Roosevelt stands erect, a cane propped against his side, when he delivers an address. He has been known to remain standing an hour or more. Occasionally, he stands without the cane for short periods. A robust body with strong arms, large neck and clubby hands top the crippled legs. He once was a good horseman. He still is an expert swimmer. He can drive an automobile, and does frequently. DRYS MAP CAMPAIGN Upshaw, Colvin Go to Chicago to Confer on Plans.

Compassionate spectators passed him cigarets, which he always accepted, but never smoked. “I’ll keep ’em for my buddies,” he would mutter. Finally, pitying newspaper men snatched him from the line of march, seated him on the running board of a police car. “What outfit were you with?” they inquired. “The Eighteenth infantry,” he replied. “Have you got a cigaret?” “That was the Second division?” someone inquired. The Eighteenth infantry did not serve with that division. “You bet.” he answered, “the Big Two, that was my outfit.
