STORM BREWING ON PULASKI DAY VETOMESSAGE President’s Action Is ‘Major Political Blunder,’ Cries Rep. Pettingill. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Tlmn BtR Writ*r WASHINGTON, April 19.—Mischief U brewing for President Roosevelt because of his veto of a congressional resolution authorizing the President to proclaim Oct. 11 of each year Gen. Pulaski Memorial Day. Gen. Casimir Pulaski was a young Polish aristocrat who fought and d;cd in the American Revolution. A movement is afoot in the House to pass the resolution over the veto. Eeventy-flve members with Polish - American constituents are as disturbed at the veto as though the President had shorn them of their postmaster patronage. Mast vocal of the lot is Rep. Samuel B. Pettengill <D., Ind.), whose j district includes a large Polish- ' American settlement at South Bend, j When he learned the veto message was on the way he called the White House in an effort to delay action, but found that it had already been read in the Senate.

Major Political Blunder! "It may sound like exaggeration, but that is a major political blunder for Mr. Roosevelt,” Mr. Pettengill stormed. ‘‘l am ready to Join with the dozen or more who introduced similar resolutions in an effort to vote down the veto. "By his action. President Roosevelt has insulted and alienated 5.000,000 Polish-American citizens, 80 to 95 per cent of whom have always voted the Democratic ticket. "Would it hurt any one to have a presidential message to read at such a celebration as was held last year at Soldiers' Field in Chicago with 45,000 Poles attending? "Not only should there be a Pulaski Day, but proclamations for other groups, such as the French and German leaders in the American Revolutionary War. It makes for better Americanism.” Letters Deluge Capitol He pointed out that President HWer had proclaimed Pulaski Day and that President Roosevelt did likewise last year. Both housss passed the resolution without dissent this session. As drawn this year, it would have made the presidential proclamation an annual affair. President Roosevelt closed his veto message: "For our own leader of the American revolution, the greatest of Americans, and for him alone, have we as a people set apart one day each year.”

By WALTER D. HICKMAN RECORDS of men who have stamped themselves upon the life of the nation sometimes are confusing when reviewed years afterwards. . Reading "Glory-Hunter, a Life of Gen. Custer,” by Frederic F. Van de Water, one finds that the author has removed a lot of the confusion existing about the remarkable: Custer. a man of contradictory qualities. Gen. Custer is best remembered as a great Indian hunter who met his death with his men on the Little Bighorn. The defeat made his name famous and the very event made him the object of severe criticism. His memory was championed by his widow and others close to him who could see no fault in him. Mr. Van de Water has government records, letters Mrs. Custer re--1 ceived from her husband, as well 1 as statements of men who fought with Gen. Custer in the Civil War and on the Western plains. These and other sources result, in the author drawing a portrait of a EIGHT STATE CITicS ON ‘GOOD WILL’ TOUR G. A. R. Delegation Will Start Trip on April 25. Eight Indiana cities will be visited in the Grand Army of the Republic Good Will tour, scheduled to start April 25. The tour members will be Commander Edward McClellan and assistant Adj. Gen.

CHORUS FESTIVAL TO BE HELD HERE MAY 1 Second Annual Event to Be Staged at Roberts Park Church. The second annual all-Indiana male chorus festival will be held at 8 p. m., May 1, in the Roberts Park Methodist Episcopal Church. As in the preceding year, the festival is sponsored by the In-and-About Indianapolis Music Club, t-n organization of music educators.

Birge of Indiana University is chairman of the festival committee. Ralph W. Wright, Indianapolis public schools music director, is president of the club.

! man who sought glory, loved his wife devotedly, loved headlines, got himself in trouble even when in training at West Point, faced courtmartial and was suspended, and at one time made himself a willing witness in a congressional inquiry I in Indian affairs and was revealed as a vindictive witness who did not have the evidence. a a b YET with aH of these contradictions, Gen. Custer is revealed as a great Indian fighter and whose own egotism and failure to accept advice from his scouts made his own grave at Little Bighorn. That, at least, is the opinion and the verdict that Mr. Van de Water arrives at in his 394-page book. (Bobbs-Merrill; $3.75.) The author maintains and proves to his own satisfaction at least, that death made Custer immortal. The nrst half of the book is devoted to Custer’s early life, his none-too-handsome record at West Point and his services during the Civil War with the Union army. The author has done a magnificent job of showing actual conditions, the successes and the blunders of officers on both sides during the conflict. The author paints lifelike pictures of Gen. Grant and Gen. Lee and many others. Although "Glory-Hunter” Is adult reading, it is a splendid book for the young man who Is honestly seeking right values of men and events in great periods in American history’. It is not dry reading for it is has as much suspense as if it were a novel instead of strictly critical biography of men and events.
