A group of nine socially prominent women who came to Washington from New York to protest against present plans for handling the hunger march- ers were denied an audience with Pres.dent Hoover and voiced passive indignation as a result. The delegation reached the Executive shortly after 12 o'clock and soon aiterward was ushered into the office i Sccretary Joslin, which adjoins that of the President. It was Mr. Joslin who informed the women they could not see the President because the nature of their business was one requiring the at- tention of the District Commissioners and not the President of the United jr., of ter of New York, as the group. said a petition for the President. wr culd like to present personal “I will receive it for him,” Joslin replied. *Is it not possible for us to see Presi- dent Hoover?” Mrs. Field askad. “It would be impossible for you to see him,” Joslin replied. “And whose decision is it that pre- vents us from seeing the President?” Mrs. Field asked. “It is my decision,” Joslin answered. s this the usual procedure for re- ceiving petiticns at the White House?” “Each case is judged on its merits.” Referred to D.

One of the women in the group re- minded Mr. Joslin that “when the bonus marchers were driven out of Washing- ton last Summer it was a Federal mat- ter and not a local matter.” Mrs. Fizld and Ler associates left the secretary's office and went to the.

"Every citizen has a right to petition his Government, but human relief is a local problem “It is wrong even to think of creating camps here for the permanent provision of march I propose to take steps to protect the residents of the District against the obvious hazard to health resulting from such proposals.” Senator Copeland cmphasized that the various States, counties and cities, | should take care of their local relief problems and predicted that his State would continue to provide for its own | needy. Woodhouse’s proposal involved the establishment outside the District ot three camps where hunger marchers could be housed. The coming of the hunger marchers inspired the Monarch Club to adopt a resolution urging legislation to prevent similar movements in the future. The resolution declared that the marchers now en route to Washington have been shown to be Communists, and that an investigation by Representative Fish of New York “has made cleat” that Com- munists “seek the destruction of the American Government by force and violence and by inciting class hatred.” Ore of the first requisites to the return of prosperity, the resolution further de- clared, is the restoration of public con- fidence, which is “undermined and de- stroved by the activities of such ele- ments as compose the proposed hunger march.” Order Suspended.
