BONUS ARMY DEATH TOLL MOUNTS; THIRD VICTIM OF BLOODY THURSDAY DIES Frame- Up ‘Acuiiet Us Levin hi apd 17 Held On Hoover’s Orders Collapses LL.D. Forces Judge to Release All Held for Deportation; Pace Still Held CHICAGO, UL, Aug. 2.—The Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League is making preparations for a mass memorial meeting for William Hushka, veteran who was murdered by the Hoover police, to be held at the Coliseum Hall on Wabash Avenue, Saturday, August 6, at 8 p, m, * x * WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 2.—The third victim of Hoover’s bloody Thursday died today. Eric Carlson, 38, an Oakland, Cal., veteran who served 18 months in France and fell wounded when Washington police fired on the bonus marchers on Pennsylvania Ave. died a few hours before the government officials concluded the shame-? ful job of burying Wm. Hush- ka, the first victim of the gun fire, with “full honers,” includ- ing a salute from the same guns that were used against the marchers. All members of the bonus army, except W. W. Waters, were forbidden by police to attend the funeral of Hushka. Workers, angered over the kidnapping of Hushka’s body by the government, said that Hushka was doubly murdered by the Hoover gov- ernment. ' irst they murdered him with their guns, then they attempted to murder the revolutionary memory of Hushka by stealing his body and giving it a pompous military bur- jal.” A Washington worker said this. . pee The case of the 17 workers and veterans held by the government on deportation charges came into court teday for a hearing on a writ of habeus corpus. Judge Proctor, Dis- trict Supreme Court Judge, illegally postponed the hearing gntil Wednes- day. Demand Release David Levinson and Irving Schwab, International Labor Defense attor- neys, demanded that the judge go on with the hearing, pointing out that there were no legal grounds on which to hold the men. The lawyers manded the immediate release of thi prisoners. ‘The judge refused to listen to the @fsument, stating that the immigra- tiqn officials had asktd for a post- Ppojiement. Forced to Release Vets following a stiff argument put for- ward by the I: L. D. attorneys, all seventeen were released, including Levin against whom the brunt of the attack was directed. The vets were taken out of the city to the Mary- land border, under police guard in a truck and dumped out. In declaring the holding of the men illegal, I. L. D. attorneys y ° ted out that the writ stated specifically that if there were no charges against the ex-servicemen they shall be re- leased today. ‘The nine workers who were jailed in the police raid on the Communist Party headquarters were released to- day following a protest by the Inter- national Labor Defense. Pace, E’sher and several others are still held. An additional charge of assault was placed against Walter Eicher ‘today. Eicher, a war vet, secretary jot the Rank and File Committe of ;the bonus army, is held with John Pace and several others charged with parading without a permit, disorder- ly conduct and speaking without a permit. Two Babies Dying It was reported that two more Ababies from the bonus camp are dying as, the result of the Hoover gas attack. The first child to die from the gas was Gertrude Mann, two-year-old daughter of a. Mon- nesse®, Pa., vet. The Mann child died S.nday, The coroner's inquest, called to cover up the murder of Hushka, opened today. The District Com- mittee, which was reported to be in ‘disagreement with Hoover, stated to- iday that it was in thorough agrce- ‘ment with the Hoover murder policy. Metal Workers Support Vets. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Aug. 2—A mass meeting of metal workers, un- der the auspices of the Metal Work- ers’ Industrial League’ sent a special protest to*Hoover against the killing of a war vet. A resolution adopted at the meeting demanded a special session of Congress to pass the bonus bill for the ex-servicemen. JOHNSTOWN COPS ATTACK ANTI-WAR MEET; ARREST 8 Smash Relief Station; Spread Lie That ‘Reds’ Hijacked Food BULLETIN JOHNSTOWN, Pa., August 2.— Seeking to lay the basis for an- other attack upon the veterans, the government today sent a deputy U.8. marshall. and. four Washing- ton detectives inte the vet encamp- ment here with “writs of replevin” with orders to seize tents, cots and other camp equipment which they claim the ybonus marchers took with them after being driven from Washington. * JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Aug. 2.—Police, under the direction of Eddie Mc- Cluskey, mayor of Johnstown, vio- lently smashed an anti-war demon- stration of thousands of workers at Park Place here yesterday. The crowds of workers and veter- ans who ‘assembled for the demon- stration were: aroused to a high pitch over the activities of the police. After the police broke up the meet- ing, and arrested eight, masses of workers followed the police to the station and cheered the demonstra- tors. Organizer Jailed.

Vicious Move NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2.—An men from employment on the docks has been introduced in the Commis- sion Council by Mayor Walmsley, Democrat, of the Huey Long faction in Lousiana, The bill Would affect over 5,000 Negro longshoremen at present partially employed. The throwing of these workers on the streets to starve would be accom- plished through the prohibition of the employment of any but registered voters in the “loading or unloading on publicly owned and operated trucks, freight cars, ships, vessels or similar vehicles within the territor- ial limits of the city.” Because of the universal terror against the Ne- gro masses in the South, few New Orleans Negroes are registered voters. The Marine Workers’ Industrial Union is leading a stern fight against the attack on the Negro longshore- men, and has issued 10,000 leaflets for distribution among the white and Negro longshoremen, calling upon them to unite, build a strong fight- ing union and wage the struggle for unemployment relief and social in- surance at the expense of the bosses and their government. The union denounces the proposed bill as a vicious vote-catching move How Waters Worked With Enemies of Vets BONUS EXPEDITION RAK & FILE OF MEMORINDUM: SROM: TOs You are hereby directed to/ the evacuation of 11 buildings’ vonia Ave. Missouri Ave., 1952. camped at the above logatjons."

The strike committee meets tonight with the manufacturers to discuss settle- ment. These strikers have rejected the compromise scale accepted by the Bradley strike committee. They are holding out for the July 11 scale, which is no wage-cut and a slight increase for some workers. The National Textile Workers Un- ion issued a leaflet to the High Point workers calling on them to set up permanent mill committees repre- senting all the workers. The leaflet exposed the move of Goy. Gardner in the strike as a plan to pave the way for new wage-cuts. The entire state is in ferment. Washington; De Co, Suly' 21, 1952.
