Washington, March 5. Hearings

mittee on soldiers' bonus legislation
degenerated Triday into an investi
gation of charges and counter
charges made by officials of rival
soldiers' organizations. When the
hearing adjourned for the day. Rep
resentative Fordney of Michigan,
chairman of the committee, re
marked that time had not been
wasted. ' . .
The two organizations involved
were the Private Soldiers' and
Sailors' Legion and the Rank and
File Veterans, Inc., affiliated with
the World War Veterans. Among
the witnesses who took turns on the
stand, making all manner of charges
against each, other, was Marvin G.
Sperry, national commander of the
Private Soldiers' and Sailors'
Legion, who by his own admission
was court-martialed four times dur-v
ing his army service. T
Denounces Witnesses.
Another of the' witnesses, S.
Lovenbein, chairman of the Rank
and File Veterans' association, who
was vehement in his denunciation of
Sperry and Martin. As a backfire
against Lovenbein the other crowd
put on George W. Boyce, a private
detective formerly with the naval in
telligence service, who testified that
he had been tinder investigation by
the" department of justice for dis
loyal speeches and by the postoffice
department for receiving subscrip
tions to a soldiers' paper after the
paper suspended oublication. -
Boyce said that he had in
vestigated Levenbein's organization
and never had been able to find but
four men who had any connection
with it.
All of the spicy testimony of the
day was brought out as a result of
the charges before the committee
earlier in the week by H. D. Haltwr,
formjr secretary of the Private Sol
diers' and Sailors' Legion, but now
an associate of Lovenbein, against
.Speery and Martin. Speery during
the day produced what he claimed
1 was proof that Halper had sought to
.deliver the Private Soldiers' and
Sailors Legion over to the com
munist party and that it was on
that. account he was ousted as secre
tary. '
