DISABLED WAR VETERANS ASK ONLY JUSTICE Seek Compensation Solely for Those Suffering Injury in Service. Major development have taken place In the veterans' relief situation since Talrott Powell wrote a series of stories for The Times several months ago. They are expected to have Important, bearings on the government's future policy. Tu explain there developments and their probable effects. Powell has written a series of three more stories of which this is the last. BV TALCOTT POWELL Time* Slafl Writer The Disabled American Veterans of the World War, one of the most powerful and active of the veterans’ bodies maintaining regular representatives in Washington, will devote its efforts during the coming year exclusively to the interest of men actually disabled in their war service, Thomas Kirby, national legislative representative of the D. A. V., told Scrlpps-Howard newspapers. While this declared policy attacked no existing legislation, it means that when congress undertakes to reform the veterans’ relief program next December, the Disabled American Veterans will not attempt, to retain benefits for men with nonservice connected disabilities. Chief of these is the disability allowance by which 400.000 exsoldiers are drawing about SIOO,000,000 a year from the federal treasury for physical and mental troubles in no way connected with their war service. Legion Disowns Legislation The American Legion already has denied any part in bringing about this legislation and has declared that, the whole theory of it was not in keeping with Legion policy. The declaration of the D- A. V. has put another organization of ex-service men on record. With these two organizations committed to a policy of non-inter-ference, there is an excellent chance for the repeal, or radical modification, of the disability allowance act at the next session of congress. The policy of the D. A. V. also removes it from those that will fight to retain free hospitalization for veterans with ailments not connected with their war service, pensions for widows and orphans whose husbands died as the result of nonservice connected disabilities. “It is realized fully that in the last few months there has developed broad agitation for reduced costs of th veterans’ administration,’’ said Kirby. “Mindful of this situation, the D. A. V., did not condemn any particular feature of existing law, but did. unequivocally, vote to conserve the rights of and the solemn pledges made to the actually war disabled. Unite for Protection “Os course, we are not indifferent to the mass of veterans who escaped unscarred. Neither are w'e indifferent. to ihose who served, and since the war. developed ailments. “However, the very thought that gave birth to the D. A. V., more than a dozen years ago, was based on a realization that unless the war’s disabled were merged for their own protection, proper protection would not be forthcoming from ether quarters. “We never have felt tjat any man disabled for doing his part in the national emergency should be placed in a pauper classification. A veteran now handicapped because of his service has just as much right to look to his government for hospitalization and compensation as has a wage earner to receive his salary chock on pay day.’’ Only men actually disabled in war service are eligible for membership in the D. A. V. PLA NS BONUS RIO f QUIZ JYlcKellar Will Endeavor to Fix Blame for Evictions. B'J Scripps-Hotcard Sews paper Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—Senatorial investigation of the calling out of the United States army to evict the bonus marchers from Washington will be sought by Senator McKellar iDem., Tenn.i, as soon as congress reopens in December. He will offer a resolution, he said today, so that "the blame can be placed uio those responsible for the miserable fiasco.’’ Only by such inquiry, in McKella’r's opinion, can the truth be obtained in regard to the origin of the order to summon the troops, the conditions which induced President Hoover to take such extreme measures and the decision to proceed against the Anacostia camp, far from the scene of downtown disturbance.

VOODOOISM IS THE THEME IN NEW FILM

‘White Zombie’ Gets Under Way at the Palace Friday, With Bela Lugosi as the Cruel Witch Doctor. VOODOOISM is the theme of the picture, “White Zombie,” opening Friday at Loew s Palace. More weird than "Dracula,” more haunting than “Frankenstein,” this production produced by Edward Halperin and directed by Victor Halperin in the native haunts of voodooism, Haiti, is supposed to be a sensation. The general Impression has been that the incidents depicted in "White Zombie” could not occur, that the Zombie of the Black Republic is nothing more than the ghost of English-speaking countries, were-wolf of the old countries, demon, fire-hag or vampire known the world over in tradition and story—in short, a myth.

The “walking dead men” of Haiti are best explained by suspended animation. which is the temporary cessation of the outward form of life, and of the functions of life. People in a state of suspended animation, or catalepsy, have fallen into apparent unconsciousness, and remain in a condition of rigidity for several days. This condition can be forced upon a person by the administration of certain drugs, such as the poisonous and deadly leaves of the machineel tree of Haiti. This poison, a product of the island's witch doctor, can be administered either to kill or to cause a state of suspended animation. Just a pinch and the victim goes into a state of death-like rigidity. In the production “White Zombie,” Bela Lugosi, who vaulted to screen fame as the vampire in

Inferior Feeling Blamed for Thefts by Children

Judge Warns That Improper Criticism Is Harmful to Boys and Girls. “Inferiority complexes, created by parental scoldings and abuses, often lead boys and girls to steal and commit other crimes.” With this warning. Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler Tuesday ordered a father to “treat his son as a spn should be treated.” Geckler explained that children begin to steal to cover up a growing feeling of inferiority, thinking it is smart. “This covers the inferior feeling that has its roots in improper criticism of the child,” he said. Finding Samuel Sexton, 473 South Webster avenue, guilty of mistreating his 13-year-old son, Geckler advised him to "quit thinking you can own the boy.” “Many parents act as if they own their children, instead of being, as they should, the trustees of their childhood.” the judge declared. This theory that “parents but hold their children's lives in trust for the future' 1 is followed by Geckler in his rulings in child neglect and delinquency cases. “The parent needs to be a good example, a good model for the child,” Sexton was told; “this is true especially of the parent of the same sex of the child.” Geckler says he finds that children, where authority of parents is too powerful and arbitrary, become sullen and insolent. He declares that juvenile delinquency, in most instances, is "traceable to home influences, more particularly to actions of the parents.” Judgment in Sexton’s case was withheld, Sexton promising to obey the court's advice.

SEIZE BOOZEJN RAID Double Attack Is Staged by Liquor Squad. Double raid on a double house netted double results Tuesday, according to Sergeant John Eisenhut and squad, who reposed seizure of liquor at 1613 and 1615 North Capitol avenue, and arrest of Earl Chappell of the former address, who is awaiting grand jury action on an assault and battery with intent to kill charge.

SENATE KEEPS WRIGHT REPEAL MEASURE ALIVE Wpts Scurry Around in Effort to Round Up Four Votes. Senate wet leaders today were “beatiag the bushes’’ in an effort to scare up four votes for another attempt to pass the JVright bonedry law repeal measure. In three test votes on committee reports Tuesday they failed to muster more than twenty-two supporters. Twenty-six is the constitutional majority needed for passage. Although drys voted them down on the minority report for passage of the Weiss house bill, providing repeal, the measure was put on second reading by adoption of the majority report. That report was somewhat unusual in the history of the senate, in that instead of recommending indefinite postponement, it merely deferreed action until tax relief legislation Is passed. Wets Are Optimistic The bill can be called down for action any time the wets feel they have sufficient votes. Wet leaders are optimistic in their predictions of passage. Senator C. Oliver Holmes (Rep.). Gary, a senate dry leader, today discounted that optimism. “We just kept the bill alive to make the wets believe that they are going to get some place,” he said. “We have sufficient votes to kill it whenever we choose.” “It is of no use for the wets to get the jitters over passage of this bill,” Holmes said. “We should be in no hurry to convert drug stores into near booze joints. We do not need revenue that badly.” Nejdl Fights for Repeal Another Lake county Republican. Senator James J. Nejdl, Whiting, led off the debate for repeal. He announced he never had cast a dry vote in his life nor did he ever expect to do so. “Democrats in the house lived up to their party platform pledge and voted for repeal,” he pointed out. “It is now up to the Republic-

an majority in this senate to live up to their platform declarations and vote for this repeal bill. “If you fail to do so, look out this fall.” Applause greeted the veteran .senator’s remarks, but LieutenantGovernor Edgar D. Bush quickly gaveled down the galleries. Previously, when his pet tax measures were under discussion, he permitted applause by Hoosier Taxpayers’ Union members and farmers to go unrestrained. Senator Jesse E. Wade (Dem.’i, Mt. Vernon, who with Senator Addison Drake (Dem.), Fairbanks, signed the minority morals committee report for passage of repeal, delivered a harrangue against the Wright law in particular and prohibition. generally. He urged passage of the bill as a revenue measure, on the grounds that all medicinaLwhisky sales would be taxed. “Repeal this Wright law and keep Indiana from being the laughing stock of the -nation,” Wade urged. "We are the only state in the union which forbids doctors perscribing whisky. “This whole prohibition business should be repealed. We have ruined one generation with it and now we are going to start on another unless the change is made. “Prohibition is not a ‘noble experiment’. It is nothing but a damnable curse.” PREDICTS LARGE VOTE Coin Harvey Returns to Arkansas After Liberty Party Parley Here. Forecasting a large vote for the Liberty party in November. William H.
