HEADS Reasons for Taking Away Weapons at Capitol July 5. The District Commissioners received today from Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, superintendent of police, an official report explaining why he or- dered the disarming of members of the force detailed at the Capitol July 5 during a demonstration of nearly 5,000 bonus-seeking veterans. The report was requested by the Commissioners as a result of criticism said to have come from several mem- bers of Congress over Gen. Glassford's action in ordering his men to preserve the peace while outnumbered and un- armed. The officers, it was charged, had been relieved of nightsticks as revolvers, despite a long as well | tanding bers of the force to be armed at all times, either on or off duty. Gen. Glassford’s official explanation was not made public at the District Building. In response to queries by newspaper men, however, he admitted the Commissioners had called on him for a report, and that the request had been complied with. Gen. Giassford also declined to make public his official reply to the Commis- sioners, but explained he ordered dis- arming of the officers detailed at the Capitol for three specific reasons. “I took personal command of the officers on duty at the Capitol July 5.” said Gen. Glassford. “The detail was divided into two disivisons, a reserve group and an operating group.
