the Park Commission would like to take

The guns of 'criticism brought into
action by Councilman Gaffney. who was
lender of tho old Vnrc-controlled Coun

a "poor loser."
'It is quite evident' nsscrtcd the
Mayor, "tthnt thn Gaffney-Varo .con

After reading the Miiyor's charges
and going into n lengthy Conference with
Charles R. Hull, nn allied Vare leader
In Council, Councilman Gaffney issued
a challenge to Mayor Moore to an opcu
debate on the financial position of the
city.
Gaffney uttered vociferous denials of
subservience to Senntor 'Vare and de
clared that he had co-operated with
Governor Sproul nnd wns willing tp co

believed he was criticizing the admin
istration he was really criticizing Gov
ernor Sproul.
"I can only say to such experienced
public officials ns Mr. Gaffney, who

should come In und make sure of their
facts before they go off ou n tangent.
"Mr. Gnffnoy probably did not In
tend to criticize Governor Sproul when
he made his essay in Council, yet that
is exnetly what he did. whether he knew
it or not, and probably the Governor
has not yet felt the full force of the

By tho Associated Press
Washington, Mnrch 3. Another row
occurred today at hearings on soldier
relief measures before the House waysj
and means committee. It came when.
Etlward II. Hnle, representing Veterans
of Foreign Wnrs, told the committee
that statements made yesterday by
Franklin D'OHer, commander of tho
American Legion, were "erroneous and
should be contradicted."
A storm of protest resulted, but
Chairman Fordney restored quiet by
warning that unless order could bt
maintnlned "wo will quit these 'hear
ings. "
Representative Tread way, of Massa
chusetts, said the committee should not
permit criticism of the American
Legion, adding that "evident rivalry
exists between various associations." .
"Criticisms must be permitted if wo
get anywhere," interjected Represen
tative Garner, of Texas.
After fivo 'minutes of wrangling'
nmong members, during which several
started to leave, Chairman Fordney
ruled that witnesses should not criticize
other organizations.
Hale urged passage of a bill author
izing relief to discharged service men
nt the rate of $30 for each month in
service, instead of $50. with nn addi
tional grunt of $100 to those who served
overseas. He nlso fnvored passage of
the Morgan bill giving service men tho
option of selecting homesteads.
Suggests Way to Get Money
"How could the money be raised for ,
this bonus?" nsked Representative
Kltchln, of North Carollnn. "There
is n public debt of $20,000,000,000
now." ilt,
"Our plan," snfd Hnle, "would bo
to tar all Incoqies above $50,000 at
the rate of 2 per cent, graduating that

"Some of the nlleged economies prnc- f
Heed by this Congress are n crime." t
the witness said, whereupon Mr.
Kltchin, who is a Democrat, remarked
that "the economies of this Republican.
Congress surely is a crime."
Hate said "lip npprcxiatiq,n,nndoUf

charged soldiers.
"These men," he declared, "bavc
been turned bnck to civilian life with
sixty pieces of silver, und they naVo
been brought fnee to face with the in
gratitude of the republic. Tho only
wonder is that they have stood so Ions
the apathetic uttitude of Congress."
Members of Congress received back
pay when they were dlscbnrgcd from the
army und returned to the House, ho
said, adding that others were equally as
deserving ns ex-soldier congressmen.
Denies Shortage of Labor
Assertion by the witness that mnnv
former service men were without work
brought from Representative Green, of
Iowa, the statement that many farms
iu the Middle West could not be culti
vated because of lubor shortage.
Hale replied that the most unemploy
ment would be found in cities, explain

association plan, he added, would pro
vide both financial relief and privilege
of takitig homesteads.

severe burdens on the nvernge taxpayer
of the country und would raise living
