"Regular Fellow"

If there is one person U. S. War Veterans should cordially dislike, it is Franklin D. Roosevelt, who twice vetoed their Bonus Bill. To persuade them that the President is still their best bet in the White House, National Democratic Chairman Farley last week patched together a Veterans Advisory Committee of Spanish War Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, et al. To head this committee he appointed fat, jovial Louis Arthur ("Louie") Johnson, onetime (1932-33) National Commander of the American Legion. Legionary Johnson is also an Elk, a Shriner, a Mason and an Odd Fellow, all of which sodalities consider him a "regular fellow," a potential vote-getter.

Having already received his Bonus along with 3,500,000 other veterans, West Virginia's Johnson last week trumpeted: "The Roosevelt Administration has been eminently fair to ex-soldiers. There has been more done on hospitalization for veterans in the past few years than in any comparable period. . . . The Bonus is not an issue."
