GROUP OF VETERANS
ATTEMPTED ARRANGE
HERO BURIAL COMRADE
WASHINGTON. D. C., July 30, — j
A shabby little group of world war ;
veterans tried to arrange a hero
burial in Arlington Cemetery for i
a comrade of the Bonus Army kill- ;
ed by police in Washington riots, j
At the same time, the adminis
tration was maintaining that use
of troops to drive the ex-service'
men from the national capital was
in suppression of communistic ter
rorists embodying “threats against
the government and president.”
As bedraggled remnants of the
Bonus expeditionary forces were
hurried out of Washington, Feder
al troops conducted a “mopping up”
of the shambles once called camps.
Two hunderd men were driven
out when they sought to return to
Pennsylvania Avenue buildings.
Their camps were treated to new \
touches of fire. The troops found
nearly all places deserted.
Secretary Hurley then sent the
Federal troops back to their posts,
leaving the situation in the hands
of the police. Department of Jus
tice agents rounded up 67 radical
members of the bonus army on sus
picion of being alien communists.
The men were booked for investi- 1
gation. Many of the men arrested
were negroes, including James Wm.
Ford. 38. who said he was the com
munist party’s candidate for vice
president. i

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30, (JP)
—The administration sought to
speed carrying out the elaborate
rehabilitation program involving
some of the things the Democratic
spokesman insisted should have
been proposed in Congress earlier

the point in the proposal which in
cluded plans for replacement of
slum districts, expansion of credit
facilities, stimulation of railway
maintenance and repair work, the
broadening of livestock feed loans,
hasten the movement of agricul
tural goods, shorter working hours,
swift organization of a home loan

HOOVE!) ASSAILED FOR
HIS ACTION USIN6 THE
ARMY TO EVICT VETS
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30 —
Sharp criticism of President Hoov
er for the use of troops against
the bonus army came from two De
mocratic senators, Black of Ala
bama and Patman of Texas. A
third. Representative Crisp of Geor
gia, expressed the hope that
“every conciliatory method was
used before force was resorted to.”
Patman, a leader in efforts for
cash bonus legislation, issued a
statement at Texarkan, Texas, in
which he asked whether tthe Pres
ident has “adopted the policy of
using the army to drive the lobby
ists from Washington.”
“If he has,” Patman said, “I sug
gest he use the army to drive the
International banking lobby from
the capital city.”
Senator Black, in a statement,
said he regarded the President’s
action as wholly unneccessary and
“ill-timed” and “without jurisdic
tion, in fact, in theory, or law?”
“It was only after the President
took charge of the situation that
trouble began,” Black said.
Crisp, who is seeking the Demo
cratic senatorial nomination in
Georgia, told the Atlanta Post of
the American Legion; “that these
ex-service men had the same right
to go to Washington as I did. They
were conducting themselves in an
orderly way while I was there,” he
said. “I regret blood was shed.”

METED SOLDIEAS
COMPLETE EUIIII9N
VET BONUS SEEKERS
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30, —
An army of steel-helmeted federal
troops maintained ^ virtually mar
tial law in the national capital as
it completed the evacuation of
thousands of members of the Bo
nus expeditionary force from all
government property in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The evacuation casualties totaled
one dead and 20 injured and gas
sed. Calmness prevailed thru the
capital, although four great fire
scarred areas marked the spots
where thousands of bonus march
ers were encamped for several
months past. -
The veterans are fleeing the city
as from a pestilence, as the troops
drove them relentlessly with tear
gas bombs from one encampment
after another.
The bonus army, a beaten and
bewildered army without a coun
try, was still on the march Friday
evening and today. They still
marched for the Stars and Stripes.
However, they were driven from
the seat of the nation’s capitol and
also found their way barred in
Maryland and Pennsylvania.
The men are kept moving and all
attempts to converge in large num
bers, whi^h later might prove
troublesome, are being discourag
ed by the soldiers who are driving
their soldier forbears to their for
mer homes.
President Hoover, in a confer
ence with newspaper men, again
reiterated his stand that the men
ace of communism was being fought
and he stated a challenge to the
order of the United States had been
dealt with in swift order. How
ever, other sources said that every
man in the bonus army was a vet
eran and it was stated by these of
ficials that every man in the groups
which had caused trouble, were war
veterans and that their service re
cords and discharge papers had
been examined.
Senator King, of Utah, stated
the events at Washington were the
most deplorable happening in the
history of America.
Others described the president's
action of calling out the T)iited
States army as “high-handed and
heartless.” Still another said that
the “United States has been given
a ‘black-eye’ the world over be
cause of this evasion of bonus de
mands which in reality is a result
of the administration to meet the
present economic adversity.”
The American Red Cross has of
fered to provide free transportation
to the wives and children of the
bonus seekers who are at Washing
ton. They said they would also ex
tend these privilegs to the men
also, if they desired.
Waters, who has been in charge
of the army, accompanied by his
wife and children, is enroute to In
diana where he will stay with his
parents-in-law. He is undecided as
to what he intends to do next.
