Bllnn, president of the borough council of Wild-wood Crest, and other notables, the governor visited the session. Approval by the Legion of veterans' bills, he told the delegates, insures such measures of favorable reception by the state Legislature at Trenton.

The list of speakers was an impressive one, each bringing a mes sage of interest, most of them referring to disabled veterans. They included Brig. Gen. Fred erick Gllkyson, adjutant general and service officer of New Jersey; Thomas J. McAvoy, regional manager, United States Veterans' Bureau; Senator Joseph G.

Wolber, Maj. Gen. P. C. Harris, American national director of education of war orphans, and others.

The threatened war of the Boardwalk over the election of a state com mander to succeed Richard Hartshorne turned out to be a dud, when Michael A. Viracola of Monmouth county, withdrew his name from competition, and Theodore R. Creighton of Hacken- aack was elected unanimously. Other officers elected unanimously were: C. Richard Allen, Camden county; Holgar G.

Holm, middlesex, and Fred erick II. Hudson, vice commanders Robert H. Gulliver, Mercer, finance officer; Carl N. Voecker, Atlantic, his torian; Rev. Michael J.

Corr, Sussex, chaplain; Allen B. Washington, Mef-cer, master at arms, and Roland F. Cowan, Mercer, department adjutant, Relief-Demanded The business session this afternoon was the most productive so far in the convention, with the delegates acting with dispatch to clear the decks or the vast amount of detail in order to prepare for the parades and competi tions tomorrow. Many ot tne resoiu tlons, all of which were adopted unanimously, dealt with additional relief for disabled veterans or the untangling of legal knots in which such relief is bound. By resolution, the department ex pressed Itself firmly against the proposed plan to have the new veterans' hospital about to be opened at Somerset Hills operate under dual authority, and unanimously favored a plan whereby it would be under the complete supervision of Thomas J.

McAvoy, regional manager, United States Veterans' Bureau. A resolution requesting Congress to increase the pay, both active and returned, of enlisted personnel and officers of the army, navy, marine corps, coast guard, coast and geodetic survey and public health service was passed without a dissenting vote. Memorial Tark The department also petitioned the state of New Jersey to acquire possession of the "Island Beach approximately 12 miles long, between Seaside Park and Barn'egat Inlet, and retain it In its natural state of sand dunes and picturesque beauty and dedicate the tract as a World War Memorial Park. No action was taken on a meeting place for next year. The convention was invited to return to Wildwood, and Atlantic City also extended an Invitation in which the department was invited to make its convention an active part of a revival of the Atlantic City beauty contest to pick Miss America.

Because of nature of the invitation, definite action was referred to the department executive committee.

Ship Takes Aid To Santo Domingo (Continued from Page One) Latest official estimates placed the aeaa at zuoo and wounded at 6000. The arrival of medical and other iud- plles on S. Marine planea from-Port Au Prince, Haiti, did much to strengthen the morale of the survivors, but they were only a small fraction of the- emergency materials needed to cope with' the situation. TIT Ships en Way Five ships and an overland automobile expedition from Haiti were understood io be on the way, but the havoc wrought by the storm Is slowing their progress. The ships are the S.

S. Greve from St. Thomas, the steamship uatnerme, a cable ship of the All-America Cables Company, the steamship Lykes and an unidentified British warship. The entrance to the harbor is barred by wreckage, however, and roads In the Interior are so strewn with debris that' the automobile crews can make no speed. Airplanes with physicians and more medical supplies, as well as tents and clothing, were expected today from Port Au Prince.

The marine officers said nurses had been advised to stay behind, having been warned by Dominican authorities that conditions were too bad at present to permit women io enter tne city. Bodies are Cremated, Tragedy lay on every side. Bodies were cremated by the hundred on pyres, while grief-stricken survivors raked the, shambles of their dwellings for others, always clinging to tha slim hope that their relatives might be found Injured and unconscious, rather than dead. Fathers and mothers walked, weeping, to the cemeteries bearing dead children in their arms. Now and a soldier would be heard firing a rifle shot Into the alr That meant another body had been found at the spot, and those within hearing distance would run toward him to If the.

victim was a missing father, brother or sister. Gruesome Sights Capt. Ford C. Rogers, of the marines, who. came here aboard one of "tfie planes, said he had "never seen anything comparable to the sight" this city presented.

"The stench of burning bodies reached my airplane at an altitude of 4000 feet, 40 miles from Santo Domingo," he said, referring to the funeral pyres on which the dead are being disposed of, "The cemetery was flooded with bodies long dead, floating above tne ground. The "village of Duarte, across the river from Santo Domingo, resembled a small village smeared to the ground with a steam roller. Survivors in the village are unable to communicate with the capital be cause the bridge over the River Ozama to Santo Domingo has been destroyed, It Is certain that th-ere are many dead in the village who have not been counted so far In the casualty esti mates. TWe only buildings to withstand the force of the hurricane were those built by Spanish settlers 400 years ago. All boats and dredges in the harbor are sunk and the docks washed away.

The Ozama is impassable and the city ap pears cut off from outside communlca. tion by water. Captain Rogers expressed doubt that the Haiti relief ship could get Into port for three or four days. Public Is Dazed "The entire populace seems dazed and unable to realize the extent of the disaster," he said. "I passed a truck driver hauling a load of bodies who waved his hand and shouted cheerfully, 'still more dead'." Capt.

Rogers Is from Waco, Texas, and a member of the Caterpillar Club, honorary order of fliers who have saved themselves by use of the parachute. The citv, first stunned by the sud denness of the trigedy and then made frantic by suffering and grief, has settled stoically to the task of recovery. What little supplies were spared by the storm are being rationed strictly by government officials. Tresldent Rafael Trujlllo issued a decree placing President of the Senate Mario Fermin Cabral In charge of cleaning fehe city and suburbs of the debris left in the hurricane's path. Cabral was given dictatory powers to carry out such measures as he deemed necessary.

He immediately organized a service of field kitchens to distribute food among the poorer classes. Civil and military authorities were ordered to co-operate with Cabral. The relief workers also struggled with' the im mense task of caring lor thousands whose homes were destroyed. Haiti (ilvea The Haitian gnvernment it was announced, has subscribed to be used in relief. The steamer Lykes is bringing provisions and the steamer Catherine food and clothing.

Since the rondition of the harbor made it impossible for rhe relief ships to enter port, it was expected that supplies would be landed in life boats on San Oeronimo beach, near the capital. Diplomatic representatives of other nations suffered heavily in the storm, although it was believed that no Americans or Europeans had been killed. The legations of the United States. Venezuela. Holland, Chile, Cuba, Norway, Colombia, Uruguay and Haiti were either destroyed or damaged.

The damage in the interior of the island, along the northwestern course of the storm, was still undetermined today and repeated efforts were made to re-establish communication. The only word received from the interior came from the town ol La Vega, 75 GRANDMOTHER, 36, HELD IN BEATING OF CHILD, 5 Bridgeton, Sept. 6. Charged with having beaten her 6-year-old grand- child, Mrs. May Maybee, 36, of 66 Pine street, was held in $1000 bail today for tha September Grand Jury when arraigned before Police Recorder Frank J.

Ltorfl here, on a charge of assault and battery. Th alleged victim, Frances May Hun tain ger, was treated at Bridgeton Hospital for cuts on her body. Called to the house Wednesday, by neighbors, the police found the child lying on the floor, her face covered with blood, screaming In pain. Mrs. Maybee, the police say, was standing nearby watching the child suffer.

Mrs. Maybee was taking care of the children while her daughter, Mrs. Frances May Hunt singer, 21, was working to support them. Mrs. Hunt-singer's husbaqd, Leon, left the family two years ago.
