UCLA members of the "Veterans of Future Wars," a satirical college group begun at Princeton. April 7, 1936.

Description:
Members of UCLA's "post" of the "Veterans of Future Wars," dressed in World War I-era military uniforms. The "Veterans of Future Wars" was a satirical organization begun by students at Princeton University. The group formed after the "Bonus Army" of World War I veterans, many of whom had become unemployed since the beginning of the Great Depression, successfully lobbied Congress to pay them the full value of their military bonuses, the sum total of which was $3.6 billion dollars, to be paid out in 1945. The Veterans of Future Wars claimed that they were likely to fight and perhaps die in the wars the United States would fight over the next 30 years, and as such should be paid their military bonuses while they were still alive to spend them. The organization became quite popular on college campuses in 1936, attracting conservative students who opposed the fiscal policies of FDR's administration, and leftist and pacifist students who saw the organization as a statement against war itself. By June of 1936, the group boasted 50,000 students on 584 campuses. The organization disbanded in April of 1937.Ironically, many of the students who belonged to the Veterans of Future Wars would serve in World War II, including all but one of its founding members at Princeton.

Image of French restaurant and unfair picketing banner in Downtown, Los Angeles, 1935

Description:
Exterior image of Rene & Jean, French Table d'Hote. Photograph focuses on the restaurant's window which has the business' name stenciled onto the glass. Also on the window is a banner that reads, "Unfair Picketing, We Pay Union Wages, We Work 8 Hours, We Will Not Sanction Forced Unionism." Another smaller sign on the glass reads, "Cocktails 25 [cents]." In the reflection it can be seen that there is an auto park, or parking lot across the street. Over the window hangs a ruffled canopy with the words, "French Table." To the left, a shoe repair shop can be seen next door. The sidewalk outside Rene & Jean's has colorful, geometric designs. Restaurant's entrance to the right not pictured. Rene & Jean's was a French restaurant located in Downtown Los Angeles on 639 South Olive Street. "Table d'hote" means "host's table," which implies the restaurant served French homecooked-style meals to its patrons. The restaurant no longer exists in its original location as there is now a parking lot there. The anti-picketing banner indicates the owners' stance on forced unionism, which was one of the most significant social issues at the time. Though they supported their restaurant's union, the owners were against it becoming a forced institutional practice everywhere. There is no one specific Los Angeles Times article associated with this image.
