BONUS ‘ARMY' IN CAPITAL TO PRESS CRUSADE Most of 300 Men Sleep on Hard Floors After Trip Across Country. i/t, l nitr4 Pm* WASHINGTON. May 30—Three hundred gaunt World war veterans rose today from hard floors, which were their beds on their first night in Washington, and prepared for the business that brought them across the continent from Portland. Ore.—impressing on congress their iemand for full payment of the oonus. The lean, hungry and weatherbeaten band from the far west rolled into the capital Sunday night in eighteen trucks provided by the itate of Maryland. Awaiting them was an advance uard of 225 western buddies, who had filtered in afoot, on freight rains and by automobile. Thousands more of bonus-seekers re reported cn route here from .nany parts of the country to camp on congress' doorstep. I’nmarred by Disorders Arrival of the 300 was unmarred by disorders of any kind. The veterans. some in overalls, some in old business suits or corduroys, called a friendly greeting to the citizenry as the trucks lumbered down fashionable Massachusetts avenue, and the residents waved back. An old, abandoned red-brick store building was converted into temporary barracks for the "bonus army.” There hot vegetable soup was ladled out and devoured. Police Superintendent Pelham Gla.ssford personally nought $l2O of food. Merchants and veterans' organizations donated more. Showdown on Cots Sren But bread and soup was the most substantial fare that could be provided for the hungry men. because rolling army kitchens promised bv the war department, failed to arrive. Bread and coffee was today's breakfast menu. GlaSvSford expected the kitchens to be on hand by noon. He also determined to seek a showdown with War Secretary Hurley on the question of the army providing cots. Few were available Sunday night and most of the* veterans slept on the hard and dusty floors of the old store building with only part of a blanket beneath them. Seeks to Send Them Home Glassford is making every effort"to send the bonus seekers on their way within a day or two. He is pointing out to them that some of the funds to care for them are being taken from badly depleted local relief budgets. He points to congressional and White House declarations that absolutely no cash bonus will be passed. But the present disposition of the veterans is stay right here until there is a vote in congress one way or another. Some of them declare they will stay, if necessary, until 1945, when the bonus automatically becomes payable under present law. Snake Agent's Pal Hi/ Unitrit {‘rent MORRISON, 111., May 30.-G. E.

UNUSUAL CASES UP IN SUPREME COURT

Alabama Negroes’ Hanging Appeal Ruling Is Due Tuesday. /ft/ Sri ifiiii.fhttraril ScwHiitiprr Uliana WASHINGTON. May 30. The supreme court in th: Anal session of its eight-month term Tuesday is due to rule on whether to hear two unusual cases, one of them hitherto unknown outside of Chicago, and the other a source of international agitation. The case with international repercussions is the appeal of seven Alabama Negroes doomed to hang late in June unless the court grants them a review and stays their execution. The Negroes, convicted of assault on two white girls, have been defended by the international labor defense, and their appeal has been hailed as a test of racial discrimination. The appeal charges that the trial jury was intimidated by implied threats—a contention supported by the dissenting opinion of the chief justice of the Alabama supreme court, the majority of which upheld the death sentences. The other case, hitherto unnoticed outside of Chicago, involves what is probably the most extreme construction ever made in enforcement of the Mann (so-called “white slave”) act—the conviction and prison sentence of a known gangster for traveling across state lines with a woman not his w’ife, after having lived with the woman for three years in Chicago. The appeal was brought by Jack Gebardi, said here to be a noted Capone gangster, sentenced to four years in prison, and the woman with

Saturday night told Democratic editors and party leaders at their banquet that the only remedy for the economic debacle facing the nation is reduction of governmental costs. Parasites upon the body politic, useless boards and commissions most be cut off. and worthiest employes must be eliminated,” LafToon declared. The Kentucky executive scored the Republican party for its donothing policy during the depression and declared that it can be held directly blameful for the present conditions. He did not touch upon the Roosevelt campaign for the presidential nomination in his address, although he is one of the New York executive's staunchest supporters. But discussion concerning the presidency occurred in several informal conferences during the afternoon. All candidates for state office nominations and organization leaders were introduced. R. Ear! Peters, state chairman, announced the names of the members of the platform advisory committee, of which Perry McCart of Paoli will be chairman.

RELIEF BONDS PLAN FLAILED BY JIM REED Thinks Party’s Program in Congress Would Retard Recovery. By Cnital Pm* WASHINGTON, May 30— Former Senator James A. Reed, Missouri's candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, believes unemployment relief proposals sponsored by his party in congress would retard rather than help business and employment improvement. Here to address today’s memorial exercises at Arlington cemetery, Reed showed himself still in command of the biting invective that he used to heap upon oppo-| nents in the senate, and he turned hi' fire on Democrats and Republicans alike. Regarding the public works bonds irsuo urged by both house and senate Democrats, he said: "You can't restore prosperity by building a lot of unnecessary public buildings or public works or by levying heavy taxes. What this does is to draw 1 money out of productive enterprises where labor is employed and sink it in nonproductive, inter-est-bearing enterprises.” Appropriations made by congress | for running the government during ! 1932 totaled $4,674,073,917.
