Its legislative committee flayed last summer's Bonus march to Washington, blamed "the insistent and excessive demands of World War veterans" for the G. A. R.'s failure to pass legislation upping Civil War widows' pensions. The committee then curiously added: "We assured him [President Hoover] the Grand Army, of all organizations, would not embarrass the President of the United States."

...Knapp). Presently occurs the party at which the chorus girl squabbles with a young admirer, endears herself to Mayor Kingston by comforting him when news about the investigation makes him morose. Unlike Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who last week did not interest himself in Mayor Walker's domestic behavior (see p. 10), the Governor in this picture shows a vaguely paternal disapproval for Mayor Kingston's extra-marital entanglements.
