NEPHEW OF AL SMITH ARRESTED AFTER CRASH Man Recently Cleared of Homicide Charge Accused of Attacking Policeman. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 5.—Vincent J. Glynn, jr. 29, nephew of former Gov. Alfred E. Smith and formerly a Brooklyn policeman, was arrested yes- terday, charged with disorderly conduct resulting from an automobile collision in Brooklyn. James Ennis, driver of a sedan, complained to police that Glynn's car | had smasbed into the rear of the sedan. Police sald Glynn refused to show | his license and punched Ennis in the face at the station house. Magistrate Frederick Hughes released Glynn in $500 bail pending examina- tion on December 14.

Herriot, in accepting the Lausanne Angio-French ~ confidence agreement, seems to have proposed that France and Great Britain should form a common front on the war debt issue. Ma Donald seems to have refused.

Britain Awalts U. S. Reply. CGreat Britain still seems to be walt- ing for even a verbal answer to its sec- ond note -to Wi n requesting a moratorium and a review of the war debt settlement as a whole. The French, however, late receved from Paul Claudel, their Am- bassador to Washington, a cablegram saying that he had talked with Henry L. Stimson, American Secretary of State, who had talked with President Hoover (who had intimated that he would decline to ask Congress for a suspension of Prance’s December pay- ment and hinted that any French de- fault would render any later readjust- ment of the French war debt almost irapossible). The fact that Great Britain seems not to have received a similar message suggests that President Hoover, per- haps, intends to ask for special treat- ment for Great Britain. British Favor Paying. Both the Prench and British govern- ments are rej to be divided as to what course they should take if their requests for suspension are definitely refused. Most British statesmen seem to favor paying, but differ as to the manner of payment. Some French leaders want to pay and at the same time make a statement that the payment thus made must be applied to the eventual new settlement. Others say that as the French Cham- ber of Deputies is virtually unanimous against payment and as both the Prench and American executives seem to be helpless in the matter, the best course is simply to let Congress and the French Chamber argue it out. Both the French and the British are shaking their heads, because, as they say, the “United States now has no real Government and will have none until next March.” (Copyright. 1932 ENGLAND SURE OF REPLY.

It was asserted Japan and Russia had not yet discussed frontier problems likely to arise if the Japanese should occupy Manchuli.

The Japanese headquarters here were still awaiting news today of the expect- ed occupation by Japanese forces of Hailar, some 85 miles from the City of Manchulia on the Soviet border. The latest bulletins, however, said the van- guard was still 37 miles east of Hailar, where air scouts reported that “smoke columns were rising.” This was unex- plained, Only one skirmish with insurgent Chinese troops was reported to have oc- curred during the passage of the Japanese troops through the Khingan Mountains.

It is not an indigenous but an im- ported radicalism, built on a philosophy of social justice. It is something these people have read about in books and newspapers or gathered from wild- haired orators in smelly, unventilated halls scattered through city slums. There is no solid framework of experi- ence about it. It is only a fetid froth of Communism. It has no reality, no| flesh-and-blood existence. Everything is imitated from Russia—the red color scheme, the white crosses on the arms of the hunger marchers’ “hospital corps,” the Soviet uniforms of their provest guard. It is not a philosophy born in suffering, as was that of many members of the B. E. F. ‘There is another striking difference— perhaps the most vital of all. It is a difference of years. The bonus march- ers were, in the very nature of things, verging on middle ege. They had been battered and molded by experience. They were tired and beaten. They had past the days of fighting for the animal joy of fighiting. They were near the ctage of life when men love peace and a chalr by the fire in the evening. These hunger marchers probably would average 10 years younger, perhaps more. There are plenty of middle-aged men and women scattered among them, but youth and the spirit of youth is deminant. Many are just boys and girls, probebly in their late “teens.” Consequently they are rather high- spirited. They like to sing, shout, march and' dance, March to Keep Warm. Whole troops 4f them marched up and down New York avenue last night in military formation brickly to keep warm, thumbing their noses at the police, singing the “Scarlet Banner” and shouting their yell: “We—Want - unem-Ployment - inSur- ance.” These boys and girls were about of the age of college sophomores and the characteristic ~ sophomoric behavior | doesn't vary much from the snake dance after a foot ball victory to the | “red” demonstration for overthrow of the Giovernment, or what you will. It is the same basic phenomenon, what- ever the clothes it wears. Those marchers last night were closer to snake | dances than anything else the general reader is likely to be familiar with. And this is the sort of phenomenon that was utterly foreign—shut off by | the uncrossable gulf of a decade of life | —from the behavior of the B. E. F. They could have given, at the sbes:, | only the most colorless, lifeless imita- tion of a snake dance. They didn't have the requisite surplus of animal spirits. : There is still anothér fundamental difference between the two groups | which, it may be, lies entangled in the | preceding ones. It is in the basic drives which send men and women on | crusades of this sort. The B. E. F. had | 2 misslon, a specific focus for their dif- | fuse, wordless thinking. It was a mis- | &fih could be rationalized— | , in fact, a very considerable | degree of public approval and a still | larger degree of public sympathy be- | hind it. It was invested with a sub- stantial sincerity. Lack Serious Mission. These hunger marchers, so far as can he gathered by observation and elicited by conscientious questioning, have no serious.mission at all. Even they are not fooled by the overt pur- poses of the movement. It is all chaotic. They want the Pederal Gov- emment to pay $50 this Winter to somebody—nobody seems to know just who is to receive the payment, but presumably every one that is unem- ployed. They want somebody—nobody knows just who—to provide hot dinners for the school children of the ‘“‘workers.” ‘The most tangible of their demands seems to be for ‘‘unemployment insur- ance,” but nobody offers the slightest information as to how this is to be brought about. They have nothing but catch-phrases, vague and disconnected. If they have specific, individual grievances, they do not voice them. Compared to the bonus marchers, they actually look prosper- ous. There is nobody without an over- coat and a good pair of shoes. Many | of the automobiles present a very cred- itable appearance. Nobody shows sings of hunger, except, of course, temporary | hunger due to the vicissitudes of the present march. They are not impelled by the physical drive of empty stom- achs. They are not driven by any Mes- sianic complex, such as was quite prom- inent’ among the bonus marchers. A Messianic complex does not arise from choatic platitudes. Just Exhibitionism. So the conclusion seems clear that the dominant drive among them is that of pure exhibitionism. They want to show off, to draw the attention of people, to be central figures in the na- tional picture. This one drive probably accounts for as much as 90 per cent of the movement. It was prominent, of course, among the bonus marchers— but not accounting for more than 50 per cent of the whole affair, It is prominent in all the organized activities of mankind. But hardly anywhere else is it more conspicuously the driving force—unless it be at a demonstration of college sophomores. For it is most conspicuously a drive of the early twenties. There is still another difference. The bonus marchers -were not very rigidly organized. Every man was more or less of a free agent. He talked as he pleased. There was no censorship on him. He could set up his own private soap box. It was a spontaneous movement. Y This appears to be an organized, rigidly disciplined movement. No man expresses himself. The provost guard stops him if he tries to. It is another touch to the un-Americanism of the whole picture. Americans are babblers. Only in an European pattern will men give up free speech and let a provost guard put clamps on their tongues. And the essential reason for this imposed silence, it seems, is that the men have nothing to say. They are here only to demonstrate. The leaders are not afraid of what their followers might say. They are afraid of their inability to say anything. aie gt s e Suicide Is Frustrated. NEW YORK, December 5 (#).—Miss 30, a violinist, at- terday by jumping ver. She was rescued deckhand.

He said Brown had told him it was a matter for decision by Traffic Director Van Duzer and it was the agreement of both the police and traffic chiefs that no permit should be issued unless Vice President Curtis and Speaker Garner agreed to allow the marchers on the plaza . After the conference, the hunger march lawyers went immediately back to their offices in the Columbian Build- ing, 416 PFifth street, to draw up the papers for presentation to District Su- preme Court. Cold and cramped from a night spent in their truckt and automobiles, the demonstrators grew sullen and restless and several times durikx the morning had brushes with the puiice.

On three sides, strong columns oi ! police have hemmed in the marchers since the vanguard treked across the | District line yesterda§™ Bfternoon and abruptly halted in their - entrance to | the city at the New York avenue gate- way. Here they remained throughout the night while their leaders frantically shelter. Four Taken to Hospital. ‘Their hardships were intensified by the lack of water and sanitary facilities, and four of them fell victims to influ- | enza and were removed to Casualty | Hospital for treatment. Fourteén oth- | ers are understood to be recovering from similar attacks en route to Washington, and drastic action is contemplated by the Health Department to prevent a serious outbreak of the disease at the camp. Only the women and the sick have been permitted to leave the camp. The women, about 140 in all, were quartered in the homes of sympathizers. All were under police surveillance. Reports that the marchers were plan- ning a surprise govement toward the Capitol brought two busloads of extra policemen to the camp shortly before noon. At about the same time, Dr. William C. Fowler, District health officer, visited the camp. After making a tour of inspection, he ordered the marchers to take measures to provide temporary sanitary facilities. Dr. Fowler said late today that he would assign two physicians from the Health Department to the ‘“hungar marchers” concertration point to ob- serve health conditions and be ready to take quick action in case of out- break of any disease. In the meantime, large squads of policemen gathered at the Capitol hours before the time for Congress to con- | ers to reach the House and Senate chambers. One hundred Metro- politan Policemen augmented the Capitol force. Within the Capitol, all corridors were watched closely. Admission to the gal- | lery floors was by ticket only and all except employes were denied entrance. | Sight-seeing _companies were told they could not show crowds through the Capitol as usual. Sight-seeing busses also were barred from the Capitol grounds and the big bronze doors at all the main entrances of the building were closed. The east plaza was kept clear of all traffic. y At the White House similar precauy tions were taken. A heavy guard of | police surrounded the Executive Man- sion. In addition to pairs of White House police at each entrance to the ‘White House grounds, Metropolitan and park officers patrolled sidewalks in the vicimty. Troops Stand By. Inside the White House, however, business went on as usual and no at- tention, apparently, was being paid to the fact that thousands of hunger marchers were bivouaced several miles e though the police force, augmented by all available firemen, had the march- ers under complete control, Federal troops continued to stand by at the various Army camps nearby, ready to step in cn a_moment's notice to aid the District in the event of a serious emer- gency. It also was revealed by Gen. 8. Gardner Waller, adjutant general of Virginia, that the State militia in Alex- andria, Winchester and Berryville had been ordered to be prepared for service. Sixty Virginia State police also are cen- tered in Arlington County and Alexan- dria under the personal direction of T. McCall_Prazier, director of the State Police Department. The demonstrators converged on Washington in three caravans yesterday and the dawn that broke through the heavy clouds this morning found them held virtual prisoners by the heavy police cordon. Stretching arms and cram) legs, the marchers complained bitterly of their treatment, but agreed they were helpless before the police strategy. Police were massed ahead, behind and through a patch of woods on one side. A bank leading sharply down the rail- road tracks was on the other side. Some of the groups under police surveillance had traveled hundreds of miles. The dome of their goal, the Capitol, was in sight, but it seemed unlikely they would reach it in mass formation. Many Grow Restless. As the morning wore on the marchers grew more restless, more belligerent and more threatening. Nonplussed at the police treatment, the diminutive Herbert counselled restraint and several times ordered back unruly groups that talked of a rush on police lines. In spite of efforts to quiet the march- ers an ear-shattering shout of boos and the “Internationale,” the hymn of Red Russia, answered Rev. Kiro 8. Nickoloff of the Greek Orthodpx Church as he sought vainly to preach to them. In clerical garb, with a brilliant silk cape bearing a golden cross on its back, Nickoloff tried for more than a half hour to address the marchers in their roafiway billets, and when they threat- ened an attack police moved him to safety. On another occasion, a milling crowd of 500 marchers shouting “Get that cop” was quieted with some effort after they had discovered what they thought to be a Government agent in their ranks. Pushing an unidentified man before them, the marchers advanced, shouting and jeeting close to the police lines. Plain clothes men stepped rapidly in their midst and saved the suspected man from possible harm. Number Put at 2,500, ‘The man was dressed in rough clothes and generally looked like one of the marchers. He refused to give his name, address or occupation. Although march leaders insist there are 3,000 men and women in the road- way camp, police claim that the num- ber does not exceed 2,500. Attempts now are being undertaken to make an accurate count. The hunger march army, however, is larger than the first that came to Washington last December. At that time, there were 1,642. The ranks of the marchers this year were swelled by recruits from the longshoremen and other marine workers’ organizations in New York and the Rank and File Vet- erans, an off-shoot of the radical left wing of the Bonus Expeditionary Force. Many Walk All Night. After a night spent in automobiles and trucks or curled up in the street, the marchers began to rise about 5 o'clock this morning, cold and hungry. Some of them did not try to sleep at all, but street t the le their trucks. ‘were overcoatless, some hatless, but fur coats of spats—were scat- e n, the dis- comforts of their trip and the “evils of W iy Fisers m“‘"m Jo i about ear! asleep long after 9. Virtually all of them, w! slee] or walking back and forth in memt,mewmpedin blankets. Big Force on Guard. A force of about 100 policemen stood by under the command of Capt. Rich- ard Mansfleld, ninth preginct, and Capt. Hugh Grove, fifth precinct, ready for any emergency. On a hill overlooking the long line of trucks and cars, the po- lice gas squad also kept watch. A stir was created shortly after 8 o'clock when the marchers formed in line and began tramping in the direc- tion of the downtown section. The po- lice braced their lines and stood ready for action as the marchers strode to- ward them, singing the “Internationale” and_shouting for unemployment insur- ance and other relief measures. As the column reached the line of police, how- ever, their leader suddenly gave a “squad left” order and the marchers swung around and headed back in the direction from which they had come. The parading was continued throughout the morning, except for a few brief pauses, during which the marchers took ime oui” to munch apples and, in some instances. sandwiches. Many in Ugly Mood. ‘The night in the open apparently had affected the marchers’ spirits, for most of them were in an ugly mood. They shouted epithets at newspaper men and other passers-by, and many of them seemed anxious to start argu- ments about capitalism and kindred | subjects. A crowd of butchers, pro- duce men and proprietors of other es- tablishments in Union Market, a couple of blocks from the marchers’ encamp- ment, gathered along New York ave- nue, just outside the police lines, at an early hour. A shout went up among the march- ers when, shortly before 10 o'clock, a truck load of food from the unem- ploy#d council’s commissary pulled in. The marchers were ordered into their automobiles and trucks and the food was distributed among them. Father Nickoloff, who said he came here from Tilton, Pa., explained his church had been unable to continue its activities and that he was without work and had followed the hunger army here in an attempt to assist them }n achieving their aims without vio- ence, Booed by Marchers. ‘The priest appeared at the camp in the long red and gold robe of his church and was greeted with a thun- derous chorus of boos from the assem- bled marchers. by Cries of “Chase him away!" an “Don’t listen to him!” arose from the crowd - of marchers. Several groups started singing the "mtemfimfl" In spite of the disordef, the little priest advanced into the street |con- fronting the threatening crowd jand, although he could not be heard &bove the shouting and singing, read t! a little printed pamphlet. “* In this pamphlet he attempted to show that labor and capital “are re- lated to each other because either one cannot do without the other.” He also | told the marchers that they should not close their ears to religion “because every human being has to have a belief of some kind.” “It is not true that the Lord’s servant is an agent of the capitalist to blind the public,” Father Nickoloff said. “I am one of the Lord's servants and I work for my living, labo in steel plents and gherdv:gk that I had when ‘was other » from dishwasher to bellhop.” Provost Guard Destroys Papers. As he concluded the reading of his paper, Father Nickoloff advanced boldly and alone into the crowd of his booing tormentors, scattering the papers among them. Immediately the provost guard of ithe hunger army, composed of an organized force dressed in uni- forms resembling those of the Russian lice, pushed back the marchers and P A spector O. T. Davis; i outbreak, came across the no man's land between the police and hunger armies and ordered Father Nickoloff out of the camp. Inspector Davis was loudly cheered by the marchers, who followed him and the priest to the po- ugmben;er;i ‘;‘lrtemuly booing the ! and giving mock salutes to the inspector.

As the newspaper boys made their way through the throng, however, many cries of “Why haven't you got the Daily Worker?” were heard. “Spy” Saved From Mob. A short time later a group of the marchers denounced the suspected po- lice spy and attempted to mob him, The man, who refused to make his identity known to police and newspaper men, was rescued from the hands of an infuriated mob by prompt action of both metropolitan police and the pro- vost guard and was passed through the police lines and turned free. The police gas squad also got ready for action, but ‘were not needed. The alleged police agent said he had been with the Western division of the hunger army since it left Cumberland, Md., and said he had been issued a card by leaders of that division. He spent the night with the army in New York avenue and was near the eastern end of the camp nearly a half mile from the organized metropolitan police staff at the head of the column when he was denounced and attacked. “I was eating a sandwich, the first food I had had in 20 hours,” the man said after his rescue, “when one of the subordinate leaders steppéd up in front of me and asked for my name.

The northern column, about 1,500 first to arrive.

There, hemmed in| by the Ivy City yards on the north, a deep woodland on the south and a phalanx of police on the east and west, the mrch.k rs settled down the northern column brought it to an abrupt halt on New York avenue within sight of the Capitol. Oarl Winter, secretary of the Unemployed Council of New York, who led this group in, quickly surveyed the surroundings and asked, “What's the delay?” | “There isn't any delay,” a police offi- | cer replied. “This is where you are “Well,” , “T su) u don’t want the people of Wplahtnz{gn to see us in this condition.” Winter than went into conference with representatives from -the Wash- ington office of the Unemployed Coun- cil and shortly afterward one of them walked up to Maj.

Nearly five hours after the arrival of the Northern delegation, another group from the West, e3timated at 1,000, crossed Key Bridge into Georgetown. Again the police swung swiftly into ac- | tion and headed the marchers to the spot where their comrades were biv- ouaced. The chosen route led far around the White House. Many Cars Disabled. The contingent that crossed Key Bridge was the remnant of the column of 1,500 that left Cumberland early in tiie morning, leaving a trail of disabled | cars and trucks strung over the moun- tain country between that city and ‘Winchester. Tweive hours this group had been on the road since a stop. It had faced the greatest concentration of police and National Guardsmen, armed with rifles, machine guns, riot guns and tear gas, ever assembled for the purpose of es- corting such a march. Only once, when a single Virginia State trooper was left to guard them on the Winchester-Washington Route No. 50, did the marchers show any signs of rebellion against the law. At that spot, about 4 miles outside” of Winchester, the marchers disregarded the trooper’s command to stay gr]ud on the road- side until other officers arrived. They drove their battered cars and trucks past him in a rush to Washington. The trooper, Pvt. R. E. Bayliss, shot his white roadster past the caravan to a narrow bridge over Buffalo Lick Run, 500 yards away, parked his car in the center of the bridge, and blocked the movement of the caravan until addi- tional officers arrived from Winchester.

Maryland authorities said they feared the decrepifi ttl;uckx tgguluttg; al n e noumtains between Gumberland and Hagerstown. After leaving Cumberland, which had them with machine guns, the marchers were met in West Vir- ginia with another display of arms, escorted through that State and into Virginia. There were no Virginia State officers at _the border line, but a call by a gasoline station proprietor’s wife brought 10 car loads of them to the scene. ‘Throughout the remainder of the trip to Washington, marchers were by detalls rang- ing between flm State troopers armed with shotguns. QUIZ ON GOMMUNISM IRRITATES EINSTEIN Scientist Indignant at Questioning by U. S. Consular Official for Visa. ) By the Associated Press. BERLIN, December 5.—Albert Ein- stein, Germany’s most famous professor, stood like & schoolboy today before an American consular official, who ques- tioned him concerning Communism, pacificism and arnarchism. . The professor took the questioning meekly for awhile and then declined to be put through what he considered a sort of third degree. The occasion was his application for | a visa for his impending trip to the United States. After the incident he declared that if he failed to receive the visa within 24 hours he would not go to America. The reason for the questioning this time was not explained, but recently the State Department at Washington for- warded a demand by the Woman Pa- troft Corporation that the famous sci- entist be barred from the United States on the ground that he is a Communist. The relativity expert, who prouldy re- calls he once received from Presi- dent Hoover a message of congratula- tion and that New York made him an honorary citizen, was considerably sur- prised last Saturday when he received a request to appear at the consulate.

With repeal of the econopy act as its principal objective the Executive Com- mittee of the National Federation of epo? Office (t:llgks went inuuulon here ay to outline a legislative program and consider organization Mmm{nnnn matters affecting postal employment. The committee represents 50,000 postal clerks over the country, and, it is explained, has authority to act for the membership between conventions. 1t is composed of the three permanent Washington officers, president, Leo E. George; secretary-treasurer, Thomas F. Flaherty, and assistant secrzt-rr{- ol- lowing nine vice presidents: Harry C. Weinstock, Philadelphia; John M. Torka, New York; J. H. Mitcham, !fi:‘ kane; K. L. Stimpson, Indianapolis; Carl T. Frisvold, San Francisco; Miles Ventress, Miami; Charles U. Sentilles, New Orleans; William H. J Mo, and G. Quimby, Manchester, N. H. Conferences have been arranged with m‘;“r?bers of Congress and postal offi- cials. According to Flaherty, the organiza- tion is seeking the early repeal of the economy law. “This law has failed of its purpose, not having effected sub- stantial economies and at the same time materially injuring the service morale,” he said. “It has impaired the mass pur- chasing power of the postal workers to the extent of $50,000,000 throughout the country, which in turn has been harm- ful to the small business man. We are firmly convinced that a continuation of this law will retard rather than help economic recovery. If the economy law is continued, it means notice to the country by Congress that there is little hope for an upward trend prior to July 1, 1934. This would be a note of de- a'p;ir, with unfortunate reactions every~ where.” MEXICO LIM.ITS PRIESTS New Religious Law Goes in Effect in Guanjuato.
