Jarréll, on July 13, 1932, wrote to General Butler on stationery of the Kéy Mén of América, with whom Jarrell frankly said he was w ng in the B, E. F. Jarrell asked Butler “to actually diréct a movement which he and the Key Men of America were backing, and which they expétted “to sweép thé nation.” The Key Men of America is nothing but a “front” for an important group of open shop, labor-sp¥ employing industrialists. They include Harry A. Jung, finanoier of the Art Smith Khaki Shirts, friend of Father Coughlin, and leader in many anti-radical projects. Original Key Meh of Améfica were recruited thfough Fred R.

BUTLER MET WITH WATERS Jarrell succeeded in getting General Butler to come to Washington atid confer with him and with W. W. Waters, then Commander of the B.E.F. Waters last weék was appointed to a job in the War Départ- mént by Chief of Staff Douglas MéArthur, the officer in charge of the bayonéting, shooting and gassing of veterans on Anacostia Flats. What Biitiér said he did not know is that Jarrell declared, in a con- versation which was recorded, that he and his backers were working at that time toward organizing a “fascist movement” out of the ranks _ of the Bonus Marchers. Jatrell and Waters said flatly they and those who were “working with them,” wanted to use the bonus maréhers as @ nucleus for a new “veterans society.” They named, as one of their backers, Percy Crosbie, the wealthy red-Witing cartoonist. Jarrell re- ported that the Key Men, for whotn he was working to form a fascist movement, sent an agént to meet Waters and his Bonus Marchérs at East St. Louis and to “take Waters in hand.” This much évidéritly was accomplished. Waters coristantly conferred sécrétly with Jarrell and his associates in the Raleigh Hotel, on Pennsylvania Avénue in Washington, while his followérs were encamped on the Anacostia Flats, SéV6FAl Miles aWay. tions which were tu “foreignefs” ahd militant labor for sem HEARST AGENT ACTIVE Jarrell’s fascist niass movement plan fell through, but Robert 8.

R. B. Ellison, another man who was associated with Waters at the time, went with him to Omaha, Nebraska, soon after the Botitis March, to hold 4 convention of a fascist political party, the Amétican National- ists. Waters recently declared to a militant veteran's léadér in Wash- ington that former Congressman Louis MéFadden, the Nazi-conneéted Politician, paid their railroad faré to Omaha. Thé cofvention was a complete flop. It could not muster any followifig on its purély fa- tionalistic program. But again on Nov. 20, 1983, Ellison wrote to Gen- eral Butler, asking that Butler “give me your thoughts” on thé pos- sibility of furthering the same kind of a movement at that time. “We started oiit in Omaha, Nebraska,” Ellison squealed on the already thoroughly discredited Waters in stool-pigeon fashion, “but the | leadership was not the right type.
