A—2 su4 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, CHARGE BY BORAH DRAWS CRUMP FIRE Tennessee Represéntative Denies Free Wheat Used for Getting Votes. By the Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn,, July 20.—Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, was sharply criticized today by Representa- tive E. H. Crump, Democrat, of Ten- nessee, for making public two letters he received from Memphis which clarged Crump's “political machin controls distributicn of Government flour for the needy and is swapping it for votes. In a letter to Senator Borah, Crump said it is “inconceivable” that he would permit himself to be used as a tool of irresponsible political scavengers b giving publicity. without the slighte investigation, to false, scurrilous and utterly absurd charges of political manipulation the American Red Cross and myself in connection with the distribution of Farm Board surplus flour to the needy of this community. he letters charged the flour. do- »d by the Federal Farm Board for tribution by the Red Cross, is given ly to those supporting the Crump “machine.” “The charge that I, or any officiai connected with the governments of Memphis or Shelby County have in the remotest way souzht to dictate or in- fluence the distrioution of food sup- plies to any man or woman as a Te- ward for political support” was de- nounced by Crump as manufactured “out of the whole cloth, and was so known o be by the persons who ad dressed such complaints to you.” Fact Held Ascertainable. Continuing. the Crump letter said “It would have been a simple matter for you to have ascertained that fact by communicating with the charitable agencies through which such distribu tion is being made.

Veterans Like District Departing Men Have Warm Spot in Their Hearts for Residents Here—Glassford Is Their Hero. Departing members of the Bonus Ex- peditionary Force are shaking the dust of Washington from their shoes—what- ever shces they have left—with pro- found good will toward the District of Columbia and an attitude approaching hero worship for Gen. Pelham D. Glass- ford The general attitude of the crowd assembled in front of the Veterans' Bu- reau this morning seemed to be that they had imposed long enough on the hospitality of Washington citizens, and that it would be futile to wait through the long Summer. Most of them had homes to go to or relatives whom they_believed able to take care of them. But they are bal- encing off their good will with dire pre- dictions as _to the future and intense hatred of officlals who have shown them lictle sympath: Some Express Views. Here are a few expressions of opinion from the departing veterans A man who claimed he had an auto- mobile agency in Kansas Citv and lost $20,000 in three years of depression “The people of Washington have cer- tainly been mighty geod to us—better than we had any right to expect. I've been given decent clothes to leave in Almost every night I've been to the home of some Washington family for supper, and Sunday a family picked me up and took me for an au ile ride for about 150 miles “I can't see why Congress did it. T'm getting before the bricks start When the reds and the unemployed come in here there's going to be trou- ble. and the President hed better get that Congress togther again mighty soon if xpects to keep this country all in one piece.

But no turned down they Had Square Deal From City. A Philadelphia veteran: “We've had a square deal here, from everybody but the Government. When the California crowd came in I saw this fellow Glass- ford reach down into his own pocket and pull out all the money he had. It was §18. and he gave them $15 of it I don't blame the District of Columbia for wanting to get rid of us.” An automobile salesman from Okla- homa City: “I don't see any need of staying here any longer. But the folks here have been so decent they ought to be tipped off about the fellows that are coming after us. My idea is that the veterans should get out and stay away. Let things take their course “I know something about these Reds. We had a lot of trouble with some of them on the train and handed them over to the police. A Red is anybody who doesn't want any government. If | they'd given us the bonus, it would | have stopped them because the boys wouldn't have stood for them in here.” Would Come Back Later. A Kenosha, Wis., painter: “My idea | is to leave and come back with Con- | gress. What's the use of loafing around | here all Summer. I worked for 12| years and saved $20,000.

The amendment does not pledge the Republi to the repeal of the eight- eenth amendment, but (o the submission of a revision of that amendment. That, it is expected far as Mr. Hoover will go in his spe epiance. “Gains” to Be Preserved. The Republican plank declares the gains” growing out of prohibition should be preserved. One of these gains is abolition of the legalized saloon it is held: and the control—or rather abolition of legalized liquor. The Re- publicans are proposing that there shall be no return of the saloon. On the other hand. they propose that there shall. if the people vote it. be a return of legalized liquor traffic but under a measure of control It is expected that President Hoover the point that the Republican | k offers a substitute for the present eighteenth amendment—not just flat repeal and a return to the same condi- tions and status of She liquor traffic that existed before the eighteenth amendment was written into the Con- stitution and the Volstead law was enacted by Congress Difference Pointed Out. The proposal of this substitute plan for dealing with the liquor traffic con- stitutes a difference, the Republicans point out. between the national piatform and that adopted by the Democrats, The Democratic plat- form, they say, declares for repeal and offers no substitute. So far as the saloon is concerned. the Democratic platform does not propose that there shall be a ban on the return of the saloon left in the Constitution itself. It merely pledges the Democrats to do what they can in the individual States to prevent the return of the saloon. but leaves that matter up to each State that goes “wet” to determine. When Senator Glass, Democrat. of Virginia. offered his resolution propos- ing the reepal of the eighteenth amend- | ment, which is the unfinished business | cf the Senate when that body meets | next December, he placed in his pro- posed amendment a ban on the saloon. Over that proposal the Democrats them- selves have fallen out. interpretation of the Democratic prohi- bition plank differs radically on this point with that of some of his col- leagues. The Glass proposal really con- forms to the Republican plank, except that it starts off with the definite statement that he eighteenth amend- | ment is hereby repealed. Regarded as Dry. Generally speaking President Hoover has been considered a supporter of the dry cause while his Democratic op- ponent, Gev. Roosevelt of New York, has been dubbed the candidate of the wets. Roosevelt, in his speech accept- ing the Democratic nomination de- livered in Chicago, declared himself for repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment. The Republican platform on prohibition is held by G. O. P. leaders to be constructive and the Democratic plank. merely_destructive. It was the faults of the liquor traffic rather than the liquor itself, which forced adoption of the eighteenth in the opinion of many Republican leaders. They do not in- tend to throw the ccuntry open to legalized liquor traffic again, without keeping a hand on the situation. That is the way they explain the Republican prohibition plank. To Discuss Economic Situation. The President’s address of acceptance, while it is expected to deal with the | prohibition question, will go ip still greater detail into the economic situa- tion, its problems and remedies. In the opinion of the President and his advisers, the need of providing work for the people is more important than the need of providing beer. The cam- paign will be waged over the issues growing out of the economic situation, rather than over the liquor issue, if Republican | Senator Glass' | IRADICAL BONUS | MARCHERS HALTED Leader.

Headley stopped Pace and about 50 of his men and told them they would be permitted to go no further, Pace resisted and started toward the White House. Inspector Headley push- ed him back and for a moment the situation was tense. The veterans ap- peared about to organize for a stampede, but Inspector Headley managed to hold | them back until reinforcements came Irom a block away. March Around Area. Shunted away from the Treasury, the men straggled north on Fifteenth street to H street, turned west and headed for Lafayette Park with Pace still at the head of the procession. At Madison place, the veterans made_ another at- | tempt to turn toward the White House. | but ‘were again turned away. and filed ‘past the Veterans' Administration | Building at Vermont avenue and H | street, shouting, “We want the bonus.” Again at Jackson place, the veterans tried to turn south toward the White House, and again the police drove them on. For the fourth time, the men made a futile effort to turn south on Seven- | teenth street, and then proceeded to Eighteenth street. going south to Penn- |sylvania avenue and coming back as far Ias Seventeenth street. The veterars retraced their steps and turned soutn on Eighteenth street. At each inter- & scuffie, but when Eighteenth and D streets was reached the men gave indi- cations of rushing the police lines. Leader Is Seized. Policeman E. W. Wright, at the direc- tion of Inspector L. I. H. Edwards, as- sistant superintendent of police, grabbed Pace as he resisted and shoved him into a waiting Police Department car. Other officers grabbed his two lieu- tenants, Beckworth E. Johnson, 39. of and pushed them into the machine with Pace. The three were taken to the third precinct station, where the charges were placed against them. They were then lodged in a cell. Bail was fixed at $125 each Four hours after the arrest of Pace and his two companions, a delegation of 14 veterans, headed by Lewis B | Smith. called at police headquarters | and demanded the release of the three m The delegation conferred with | Capt.

Meanwhile the vanishing food supply threatened the harmony that thus far has characterized relations between the He's not | of the bonus army. Walter W. Wa- ters, commander of the B. E. F.,'in an address before an assembly at Camp Marks this morning took vigorous ex- ception to Gen. Glassford’s order wing of the entrenched forces. Waters referred to an article he said appeared in an afternoon paper yester- day indicating police would “raid” the B. E. F. commissary to force food dis- tribution. He declared Gen. Glassford “hasn’t earned the right to dictate to the B. E. F. and he isn't going to.” Waters at the same time expressed his thanks to Glassford and the police, Pace Draws Rations. Waters’ order regarding food was issued yesterday morning and was lev- eled against ti.e contingents headed by Pace and Roy Robertson of Califor- nia. He sald they had organized as independent_outfits and were not en- titled to B. E. F. assistance. Glassford’s answer to that was that any food do- nated to a special outfit could go to it, but that supplies he himself purchased or were otherwise contributed to the general mess fund should be so used. It developed today that despite the dispute, Pace drew rations for his men last night and that food had been laid aside this morning from Roberson's associates. When the morning’s supplies were given out the larder was bare, except for some flour. The rations were only enough for today. Confidence was ex- pressed, however, that more would be forthcoming. Sends Message to Glassford. Later in the mornings Waters sent through his chief of staff, Doak Carter, a message to Gen.

His speech bristled with “hells" {and “damns.” | He referred to the bonus fight and the behavior of the veterans as “the | greatest demonstration of Americanism ! we've ever had." | “Every man who ever wore the uni- | form of this country is different from { other men.” Gen. Butler said, “and they | ought to stick together. It makes me so damn mad when people speak of | you as tramps. By God, they didn't in 1917 and 1918. There's not a better behaved group of citizens in the world than right here in this camp. Don't let any body put rings in your noses any more. Too many of us Americans (are going around with rings in our | noses.” | Came Back and Won. Referring to the fact that many veterans were leaving Washington, Butler said “George Washington's soldiers went home from Valley Forge, but they came back in the Spring and whipped the enemy. Remember that anybody who is not with you is against you and when you go to the polls lick hell out of him You've got as much right to lobby in Washington as the Steel Co:poration You've got the sympathy of the Amer- ican people. Don’t lose it. Keep on as you have and you'll keep the love and affection of the people. “This is the greatest demonstration of Americanism we've ever had—to b2 willing to take this beating as you've taken it.

But as soon as you pull down your camp flag here this whole movement will evaporate into thin air. Hang onto it. Remember that things don’t go by justice, but by the vote. You're in a beautiful position just now. Hang to it. Remember that George Washington had only 3,000 soldiers at Valley Forge. Two Classes of Citizens. “We have two classes of citizens.
