Hayes was elected national
commander by acclamation today
at the close of the Legion's 15th
annual convention. The first duty
assigned him was to work for
fulfillment of the Legion's four
point program for veterans' re

An about face from the bonus
demands of other years, the pro

were Injured or contracted dls

dependents of those who uied.
A request that they be given
free federal hospitalization if on

dealing with veterans beset by
ailments or economic troubles
since the end of the war. The
bonus, although favored In six
state conventions recently, was
not mentioned.

used by the convention, attended
by a quarter million veterans, was

CHICAGO, Oct. B, (AP) Dis-
QUalified In the American Legion
drum corps contest because the
Judges found its marching time
too long, the Salem, Ore., corps
today protested the decision and
indicated It -would seek a new
ruling from the national conven
tion delegates.
Tom Hill, manager of the corps,
which won the contest last . year,
said . the Salem outfit had been
stricken from the competition be
cause of a five-second lapse be
tween its ten minutes of drill and
ts 15 minutes of playing.
Hill appealed to the legion's
national Judge advocate, Remster
A. Bingham, who ruled the corps
contest was entirely within the
urlsdictlon of the convention's
contest committee.
Miami, Fla., and Seattle, Wash.,
corps were disquaunea oy tne
same rule. At contest headquar
ters, Frank Galllvan, chairman,
explained that the losing corps
'stood too long."
The Sa.em corps, one of the
smallest In competition, was given
second ranking in the contest
until It was ruled out.
"If the Judges had cut down
our score because of the timing
mistake, we wouldn't have object
ed," Hill said. "Their ruling
threw us out of the contest en
tirely." Plans, to greet the Salem drum
corps were being delayed, last
night pending receipt of word as
to the time of its arrival here
from California via the Southern
Pacific-. It was expected the main
party would return here some
time between Monday and Thurs
day next week. At least a dozen
of the 41 men who went to Chi
cago aboard the American Legion
special train will make stops with
friends and relatives enroute
home.
Suggestions were being made
that the corps at least parade
downtown from the depot to give
Salem folk a view of the new

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5. (AP)
An order to withdraw all county
welfare workers from ; Griffith
park - until adequate fire safe
guards are provided were issued
tonight by the park commission
and Fire Chief Ralph Scott as. an
aftermath of the disastrous fire
Tuesday which claimed the lives
of at least 27 men and injured
scores.
The order, coming soon after
an investigation disclosed an ap
parent lack of protection against
sudden emergency, will become ef
fective tomorrow. It affects sev
eral thousand men who were giv
en employment by the county wel
fare organizations at 40 cents an
hour.
Testimony today before the
park commission revealed that a
few seconds before the wave of
flame swept up the blind canyon
in the park, backfires were set
near the course of the sudden out
burst. But whether it was these
fires or the main blaze that a
shifting wind caught and sent
whirling along the hillside was
still disputed as men told what
they had seen in those frenzied
minutes.
F. F. George, a county worker,
frankly and voluntarily admitted
that he had set one backfire
but declared with equal emphasis
that to the best of his knowledge
It was the main blaze farther up
the hill that was caught by the
wind and sent Into the canyon.
A crew boss. Charles Chandler.
testified he saw Frank Thompson,
a ' foreman whom be knew and
recognized, setting a backfire
which was caught by the wind af
ter he left it. Thompson previ
ously denied he had set any fires.

The battle against P. VJ t.
tags was taken to Governor Merer
yesterday afternoon when
Oregon Truck Owners and. the
Truck Owners and Farmers tre-
tectire associations meeting joint
ly hero-' voted unanimously jo .
send the governor a telegram de
manding that he "order the state
police to cease making arretas .
under the P. U. C. law until con
stitutionality Is determined ,ly
the supreme court next wefek." ;
The telegram, which asked an
immediate reply, was unanswer
ed when the meeting adjourned
at 11 o'clock last night.
The remainder of the telegram
read:
"We represent thousands of H-
tizens vitally interested in the or
eration of the hundreds of trndti
now stranded by the roadside
throughout the state by the state;
police and' are also vitally Uter
es ted in the welfare of the track
drivers now facing the possibil
ity or jau sentences. This ir ah
extreme situation and demakds
extreme measures either by you
or by the citizens themselves.''
Last night A. C. Andersttn,
president of the truck owners
and Farmers Protective associa
tion, of which the Oregon Track
Owners is a unit, voiced a plea
that "drastic reprisal efforts di
rected at Oregon state officials
held responsible for the present
premature enforcement of (the
law be withheld until Governor
Meier is given a chance to keen
his promise made to the truck
men in June."
Governor Promised
To Protect, Claim -j
For the first time. It was re
vealed, according to Anderson,
that the governor at a confer
ence last June with the state cxe- '
cutive committee of the truck as-
soclation had promised he would
Protect truck owners from en
forcement of the Jaw until it was
clarified in the courts. Among
the truck owners' representatives
at the conference were Mayor
Douglas McKay, Percy A. Cup
per and E. B. Gabriel of Salem
and IL G. Bunker of Corvallis.
As an alternative to no action
by the governor, the nearly toe
truckmen assembled and repre
senting about 18,000 truck oper
ators, voted to make a statewi8
appeal to continue to roll their
trucks to serve the public 1 bat
lying districts. To this end. He
members voted to face arrest It
necessary.
The association also went th
record that it would hold th
state and its police officers felly
responsible for condition M
equipment, condition of cargo
and loss of time to members
the association in instances where
trucks were held up and mem
bers placed under arrest petidli
outcome of the supremo- court
action. : T
Sentiment all through" tho
meeting was to hold, tight to .
tho, course of action already
started, rather than to put up
ball as trust fund in connection
with the many arrests beisg
made over the state for violation .
of theP. U. C. law. Efforts of
attorneys and two other speak
