EIGHTY-THIRD YEAR
FAIR PLAY FOR
VETS, PLEA OF
LOUIS JOHNSON
Tax-Exempt Securities one
Bar to Equality Says
Chief of Legion
15 per Cent Limitation was
Hope but Action Friday
Prevented, States
If the United States govern
ment is to economize in veterans'
relief costs, let it first call in its
tax-exempt securities so that the
rich man shall be taxed pro rata
with the dollars of the poor man
and let it eliminate services that
are not needed, Louis A. Johnson,
national commander of the Amer
ican legion, declared here last
night. A crowd that virtually fill
ed the armory floor and balconies
heard the commander deliver his
official Oregon address.
"To me," he said, "the greatest j
crime of the "World war was the
Issuance by our federal govern
ment of tax-exempt securities. . .
almost half the wealth of this
country is invested in tax-exempt
securities. Let our government
call in these tax-exempt securities
so that the rich man Bhall be tax
ed pro rata with the poor man,
even the income taxes which the
New York bankers don't pay, to
carry on this government of
ours."
Garner Prevents
limit on Reduction f
When the United States senate
Friday considered limiting the
size of cuts in disability compen
sation and pensions, senators
friendly to veterans Intended to
defeat the 25 per cent limitation
so that they could effect 15 per
cent restriction on reductions hut
Vice-President Garner swung the
vote against them, Johnson aver
red. Pointing out that the president
has ordered a careful .review of
veterans' affairs, Commander
Johnson said he had faith and
hope that the truly disabled men
of America would "receive the
consideration to which they are
entitled."
The national commander said
the legion is opposed to "gold
brlckers" on the veterans' list
and that the legion stands dedi
cated to keep them off so that
when the new regulations are set
up the truly disabled men will be
respected by the people of Amer
ica. "These 'goldbrlckers' are con
tinually being paraded to the det
riment of the truly disabled," he
asserted.
Veterans Should
Tnite Against Graft
"Wherever there is corruption
or graft or fraud and extrava
gance in America, let ns in the
name of our disabled men clean
it out and do a good Job," Com
mander Johnson pleaded.
Thousands of unnecessary pam
phlets are printed and mailed at
government expense, the speaker
declared. "A fair sample of one of
those pamphlets is one on the love
111$ of a bull-frog." Loud applause
greeted Commander Johnson
when he added:
"If we are going to have econ
omy in America at the expense of
the veteran, then we want to hear
nothing, more about the sex- life
of bull-frogs."
Aside from veterans' relief mat
ters, Commander Johnson repeat
ed his organization's stand on na
tional defense and asserted the
legion had been instrumental in
preventing drastic reductions in
army appropriations and is now
working to forestall a 1144,000,
000 cut due July 1.
Navy of V. S. Should
Be Second to None
And "the navjy of Uncle Sam
must be second to no other navy
In the world," Commander John
son demanded. The United States
would have to construct 135
ships to bring Its navy up to treaty
strength whereas Japan needs but
six more ships, he asserted.
Referring to the legion's Amer
icanization program, the speaker
said his organization was fighting
communism and had broken a
threatened communfstio uprising
in Salt Lake City. He decried rec
ognition of Soviet Russia because
of its alleged propagandistic ac
tivities. "To ns the sanctity of our gov
ernment is worth a damn sight
more than a few dollars in trade
with the Soviet government."
Calling for public faith in the
American legion, the national
commander said in conclusion:
"The American legion is going
right down the middle of the
broad highway that is America,
with but two guideposts, those
fixed by the preamble to the con
stitution of the American legion,
God on the one hand and Coun-
try 4n the other."

BILL PAST SENATE
WASHINGTON, June 3. (AP)
Amid cries of "bad faith" and
"repudiation," the senate today
gave final congressional approval
to the administration's resolution
permitting payment of all con
tracts in legal tender money.
An overwhelming coalition of
democrats and western republi
cans drove through a vote of 48
to 20 the measure requested by
the administration, eliminating
the gold payment requirement
from all contracts, public and pri
vate, either present or future.
This means that. war debts,
mortgages and liberty bonds, as
well as all other governmental and
private obligations, may be settled
in legal tender money, obviating
the requirement that gold shall be
used.
The resolution had already pass
ed the house and needs only the
signatures of Vice-President Gar
ner and Speaker Rainey before go
ing to the White House.
