CHINA ASKS LEAGUE! 10 DENOUNCE TOKIO Yen Renews Plea for Action as Assembly Takes Up Lytton Report. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, December 6.—China called on the Assembly of the League of Na- tions today to denounce Japan as the averessor & Manchuria, and Japah re- plied that the military occupation of that vast province was an act of self- defense. Addressing the Assembly, which has constituted itself into the role of a prosecuting council, W. W. Yen spoke for China. He declared Japan had broken “every multilateral treaty that has application to the Manchurian ques- | tion, trampled upon the most sacred of the principles that govern international | relations, and flouted the authority of | the League.” | Yosuke M: ka, the special coun- | He challenged | Commission, | nchurian affairs | suoka prote. against the Chinese | boycott 2s a hindrance to the promotion | of international peace and co-operation. | 4 creates circumstances | 1 good understanding be- | tween ns,” Matsuoka said. He | went.back into the history of the last 10 years in an effort to show the Chi- n ave been provocative and hostile toward the Japanese and that disorders in China led to and justified the foreign rs sending military expeditions there. Prime Minister Ramsay MacDorald of Great Britain, Premier Herriot of France, Foreign Minister Konstantin von Neurath of Germany and Norman Davis of the United States were present %o hear the charge and counter charge. Dr. Yen pointed to the Lytton report, which was before the Assembly, and de- clared: “Japan deliberately and with- out provueation seized the three East- ern provinces (Manchuria) by both mil- jtary force and political intrigue, not | only in defiance of the authorify of the League, but also in violation of the | provisions of the covenant, the pact of | Paris, and the nine-power treaty of | Washington in the particular provisions | guaranteeing _territorial and admin- istrative integrity for China and en- joining the signatories to refrain from Tesorting to force for the settlement of ternational differences.’ Action Asked by China. ; Dr. Yen asserted that Japan's atti- tude toward the League's efforts at set- tlement is “to propose conciliation, if vou please, but to touch not Manchu- ?mc.“ The Chinese outlined what he considered the League’s judgment should be. First, he said, the Assembly should declare that Japan had violated the League covenant, the pact of Paris and the nine-power treaty; second, that the Assembly should call upon Japan to execute forthwith Council resolutions, so that all Japanese troops shall be with- dravn into the (South Manchuria) rail- way zone and that the so-called Man- chukuo government be dissolved and, third, that the Assembly, pending disso- lution of Manchukuo, pledge itself not 1o Tecognize any situation, treaty or agreement which may be brought about by means contrary to the covenant or the pact of Paris, and declare it will not recognize Manchukuo or enter into any - relations with it; that the Assembly make end publish hefore a definite date and within the she t possible time & report for final settlement of the dispute as prescribed in article 15, paragraph 4, of ‘the covenant. (Article 15 provides for arbitration of disputes.) Small Nations Back China, The most advanced position the League has yet taken on the issue was adopted by the Assembly itself last March, when it declared against recog- nition of the fruits of . It was the small nations which pushed through this declaration, and authori- ties looked to them again today. ‘While the representatives of the great powers, also gathered here for a_dis- cussion on disarmament, were on hand for the Assembly meeting, the small powers have a definite course. Osten Unden of Sweden planned to insist that the League employ all its resources to vindicate the covenant and to penalize what he considered an ag- ression. Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia and Spain are anxious for the League to demon- strate its efficacy against a strong power. Missed None of Arguments.

LONG BEACH, Calif., December 6.— Eight women and seven men, passen- gers or members of the crew of the 110- foot round-the-world yacht Carma, were booked at the Long Beach City Jail as “material witnesses” today in the mys- terious slaying of Capt. Walter Wan- derwell, globe trotter. Wanderwell was slain last night aboard the vessel after he was called from the dining salon by & man who appeared at a screened port hole and asked for the captain.

Only four of the passengers, the Smith sisters, Wills and Zeranski, were in this long dispute, | The real cause of the trouble in the | East, he said, is “a lack of cohesion be- | tween the realities in China and the | @spirations of the modern Chinese,” | and the cure for that is assistance to China by the League in her logical progress, particularly in the stebilization of her foreign relations. As for Manchukuo, the Japanese gov- emment cannot be held responsible for its independence, he said, declaring that “it is one thing to say that some offi- cials interested themselves in an au- tonomy movement and quite another to charge that the Japanese government is responsible for abetting the inde- Ppendence movement.” Before the Manchukuo declaration of | independence Japan had no plans in | that direction, he said. The first move e from the people and, “contrary to | port of the Lytton Commission, it | was definite and emphatic.” Japan Wants Peace. Japan recognized Manchukuo's inde- | e because “we saw in it the ad- | vent of a civil government composed of | onable men who understood the | i economic importance of | to Japan. We saw a peace. We wanted peace, did not and do not want Manchuria. We want only the preservation of our rights and interests there.” He urged that the League give time for the natural development of “sound | forces” in Manchuria, and declared that stion for settlement of the dis- | 1d be governed by these three e of 1. The terms must be such that they can be effectively put into operation and will accomplish and preserve peace in the Far East. 2. A solution must be found to end @isorder in China. 3. If the League evolves a plan of settlement the League must take upon itsell responsibility for execution of the plan. “Considering the actual conditions in China,” he warned “that execution is likely to be costly and the League should have both the will and the means to tnake necessary sacrifices. Is any mem- der of the League ready to participate with others in such an undertaking?” After he had finished the Assembly adjourned until later this afternoon when representatives of the smaller countries will speak.

Recognition of Soviet Russiagand es- tablishment of trade relations With that country were foremost among the de- mands made today upon the United States Shipping Board by & group of “hunger marchers,” describing 'them- selves as “unemployed seamen:’’ The group first attempted to see T. V. O'Connor, chairman of the board, but he was at lunch. His special as- sistant, Alfred 8. Morrison, saw the delegation. Later, Mr. Morrison said the petition and demands, which they left in his hands, would be submitted to the Shipping Board for any action it might wish to take, as well as the investigation of any complaints that }s | might have a reasonable basts. Mr, Morrison explained, after the delegation left, the board has very few ships left, that might be utilized, as the “hunger marchers” suggested, as quarters for those out of work. The special assistant to Chatrman O’Con- nor pointed out that whereas the board originally had 38 lines, it now has but five, and these are under the manage- ment of agents. He said the dele- gation was given a courteous hearin; and that their proposals which posse: merit will be given every consideration. Included in the demands made by the unemployed seamen were $1 a day for all unemployed seamen, regardless of nationality; unemployed seamen to be given the right to enter marine hos- pitals, regardless of length of service; recognition and trade relations with So- viet Russia and unemployment insur- ance. About 30 of the “hunger march- ers” who said they were unemployed seamen comprised the delegation, which was accompanied by a police escort.

BAGDAD, Irak, December 6.—Re- ports of serious lawlessness in the area surrounding e properties of the Anglo-Persian ‘Oil Co. are being brought here every day by travelers from South- ern Persia, They say that bandits are active in that region, but that more menacing criminals, including murderers, have been encountered on the roads. It is unsafe now, they report, to cross the mountains from Ispahan to Dizful, a distance of 185 miles, over a route which formerly was a main traffic artery from east to west.

"Away”..Abe Holzmann Star Spangled Banner,” A !GHIU] HOSPITAL'S WORK INCREASED Thomas B. Sweeney’s Report Shows 41,000 Treated During Past Year. A vast increase in the work of the Children’s Hospital for the past year is disclosed in the annual report of Thomas B. Sweeney, vice president of the board of directors, at the annual meeting of the board yesterday. Mr. Sweeney reported that more than 141,000 children passed through the dis- pensary during the year, 6,000 more than last year; more than 6,000 patients were treated in its various wards, an increase of 2,000, and the actual num- ber of hospital days for these patients was 46,000, an increase of 7,000. “Hos- pital days” is the technical term for “patients per 24 hours.” It was the busiest year in the history of the hospital, Mr. Sweeney reported, and was made possible only through the support of Washingtonians who have contributed funds that the institution might operate efficiently. Praises Two Officials. In his report Mr. Sweeney id tribute to the service of two faithful and long time officials, Cuno H. Rudolph, who had been a member of the board since 1909 and president since 1922, and L. N, Birchell, who had served without pay as treasurer for 22 years. Both men died during the past year. The speaker pointed out the crying need of the hospital at present is more space. Mr. Sweeney also praised the effici- ency of the superintendent, Miss Mattle Gibson, and acknowledged special gifts made by particular friends of the hos- pital, including some of the most mod- ern equipment known to medical science. Elwood Street, director of the Com- munity Chest, pointed to the hospital as a “100 per cent member of the Chest.” He declared Children’s Hos- pital is the kind of organization which the €hest is proud to welcome into membership and cited a number of in- stances of its co-operative activities in ccnnection with other Chest agencles. Reporting for the medical staff, Dr. Frank Leech, its chairman, stated 6,016 patients received 46,223 hospital days’ care this year, compared with 4,061 pa- tients receiving 39,315 days’ care last year, and 41,056 visits were paid to the dispensary, compared with 35,383 visits last year. Dr. heech cited these figures to show there has been a very marked increase in all departments and in the demands made upon those in charge. He paid tribute to the memory of Dr, Reginald R. Walker, a former member of the staff, who died during the past year, and also expressed appreciation for the co-operation extended by the Ladies’ Board, the Junior League Social Service Department, the Board of Di- rectors and the Child Welfare Board. Mrs. F. H. Brooke Reports. Mrs. Frederick H. Brooke, in her re- port as president of the Board of Lady Visitors, pointed out the gravity of the situation through which the community is passing and which has been shown at the hospital in the record of the longer convalescence of patients owing to the fact that poorly nourished chil- dren have not the recuperative powers necessary for speedy recovery. Mrs. Brooke also paid tribute to the social service department inaugurated by the Junior League over two years ago. She then cited instances of gen- | erous gifts from the Thrift Shop, the Ladies’ Board and other friends which have enabled her organization to pur- chase needed equipment and to finance extension of the kindergarten work | from the Gale fund so it was carried on in the homes. Mrs. Brooke also thanked the District Employment Committee for assigning workers to the hospital and said the result of this service is shown by the excellent physical condition of the plant. Miss Lucia Murchison, director of the Junior League social service department, reported an increase over last year's work. There were 451 cases referred to the department and 2,010 cases worked on during the year, some of which had to be carried many months. In addition the department made contacts with 1411 patients not counted as actual cases, as against 817 in 1931. The visits paid in behalf of the patients amounted to 3,409, compared with 3,064 in 1931. Miss Murchisen also outlined other activities of the Junior League in con- nection with the hospital work. Mrs. Frederick R. Solger, secretary of the Child Welfare Board, reported 745 new cases registered with the board during the year and a total of 13538 visits paid to the clinics. Nurres con- nected with this department made 5,321 home visits and the attendance at the nutrition classes and health talks con- ducted for mothers and children was 1853. The effects of the depressi she said, have b‘!’n very keenly felt the work. Tells of Work at Home. Mrs. Philip Owen Coffin, president of the Children's Country Hogxe. gave a report on the activities of that organi- zation _which works in close co-oper- ation #ith the Children's Hospital. She said that, with a maximum of 50 avail- lon, in as 48 children at one time during the Summer months and that, since Jan- uary, 1932, there have been admitted to the home 212 children, which is double the number of the same period in 1931. She told of improvements made at the home through the generosity of Mrs. Arthur O'Brien. Following the reports the annual glections were held, resulting as fol- ows: Directors for a term of five years, George W. Brown, Frederick deC. Faust, Dr. Edgar P. Copeland, Charles Drayton and Mrs. Stanley Rinehart. Directors for term expiring in 1936, Mark Lansburgh, Col. M. E. Locke, L. Corrin Strong and H. L. Rust, jr. The following new corporate mem- bers were elected: Dr. Malcolm Gibbs, Robert Swope, Frank Edmonds, Henry Brawner, Frederick McKenze, Dr. Loren B. T. Johnson, W. F. Ham, Wil- liam Montgomery, C. W. Pimper, W. B. Nairn. Woodson Houghton, Samuel H. Kauffmann, Phillip O. Coffin and Lloyd B. Wilson. ROULETTE MAKES GOLF AT SAN REMO POSSIBLE SAN REMO.—Thanks to the special decree that permitted roulette to be played in San Remo, the town was able to spend 10,000,000 lire in laying out an 18-hole golf course two years ago which is one of Europe's finest now. Though it was only opened last December it had a membership that Winter of more than 500 players and this number is ex- pected to be augmented this season. The course is situated in the beauti- ful Romolo Valley and its total length is 5,306 yards. An English architect designed the club house which cost, with its equipment of restaurant, lounge, American bar, bridge room, shower i.lhrgu and telephones, nearly 7,000,000 | . _The English membership has risen to | 156, of which number Col.

Levinson and Reynolds raised a protest and the in- spector shouted back: “Don’t argue with me, I won't argue with you.” After a few minutes’ delay a repre- sentative of Vice President Curtis came out and told the inspector a committee of 10 would be received. Another argu- ment ensued when the police officer advised Levinson and Reynolds to pick out 10 men for the audience. Both hunger march leaders protested that the Vice President was breaking his word and Inspector Headley had to shout them down before they would proceed with the selection of the com- mittee. Entering the Capitol, they were led by Capitol guides, two metropolitan police detectives, a number of other plain clothes men and a squad of Cap- itol police. They were taken through the ment entrance and led up a fiight of stairs which opened into the l%}by adjoining the Vice President’s office, Garner Receives Group. ‘The House delegation was received by Speaker Garner at 11:55 am. After listening attentively to Benjamin's out- line of the petition he was about to present, the Speaker sald he would take the matter *“under consideration, as we do with all such things.” Asked by Benjamin for an expression of opin- ion on unemployment insurance and cash rellef for the jobless, Garner said: “I think my views have been pretty well stated i the past, and all you need do is consult the Congressional Record.” The Speaker continued, however, with the explanation that he would like to see everybody in this country given employment and would make every ef- fort to achieve that end. “If you had gotten here at 10:30, as you said you would,” the Speaker said, “I might have had a long conversation with you. As it is, Congress is about to open in less than five minutes.” “What message can we take back to the unemployed?” Benjamin asked. “Are they to get unemployment insur- ance and the other relief measures for which we have been working?” ‘The Speaker replied that he could make no such promises, adding: “You control the 3,000 out there (meaning the hunger marchers), but I don't control the 435 in here (meaning the members of the House).” “We will carry that message back to the unemployed,” said Miss Burlak as she and Benjamin turned and led the delegation from the Speaker’s room. March to House Wing. The delegation of 22 led by Benjamin and Miss Burlak marched into the Capitol Plaza, where they were met by Sergt. C. C. Hubbel of the Park police. Hubbel led them across the Plaza, which was cleared of spectators, toward the House wing of the Capitol as the police gas squad and detachments of Metro- politan, Park, Capitol and a few Mary- land State police stood by.* At the entrance to the House wing, Hubbel ordered the delegation to halt until the arrival of Capt. Andrew Gnash, commander of the Capitol police. Capt. Gnash told Benjamin and Miss Burlak they could select eight others to accompany them into the office of Joseph Rogers, House sergeant at arms. After a brief conference, Benjamin and Miss Burlak selected the smaller dele- gation, which included a young white woman and two colored men. Led by Capt. Gnash the group march- ed into Rogers’ office, where they were given permission to climb the stairs to the Speaker’s room on the second floor. After outlining the hunger marchers’ demands to the Speaker, Benjamin handed a copy of the petition, which he pocketed. In perfect order, after their leaders had returned from the Capitol, the parade was resumed, turning from New Jersey avenue into Constitution avenue, and swinging along what will become in future years the great ceremonial street in the Capital. Chanting “we demand.unemployment relief,” those at the head of the column kept time with the drums and band which played the “Internationale.” ‘There was scattered clapping and meager crowd of the line of march. The police strategy to avert & pos- sible rush through their lines on Capitol Hill was to hold the marchers in a long column of fours, extending from Con- stitution avenue north on New Jersey avenue for some five blocks. The tear gas squad of the Metropolitan Police Dej t took up a vantage point above the marchers between the Capi- tol and the head of the column. The wind was at the backs of the gas squad, and they held their equipment in readi- ness should the marchers attempt to break through and stage a demonstra- tion at the doors of Col .. During the half-hour which the column waited it was broken at the in- tersecting streets along New Jersey ave- nue to allow traffic to be cleared, and to prevent the marchers from forming a large mass. Almost continuous lines of police and firemen were on either side of the column. The marchers oc- cupled the time by singing their propa- ganda songs and addressing the specta: tors along the curb. Curb and side: walk were with spectators, who filled every available vantage point along the line of *march, looking on from windows and from the roofs of buildings. Maj. Brown, at the request of Ben- jamin, detailed 10 policemen to escort 3 delegation of 20 seamen to the Ship- g rd to present a petition. This delegation left just as the parade re- sumed its route. Parade Without Disorder. The column swung on up Pennsyl- vania avenue with the sidewalks packed 8 and 10 deep on either side, and po- lice had difficulty in keeping the spec- tators back to the curbs. _ Swinging off of the Averiue, the col- umn was turned away from the White House and up Thirteenth street to M street, where the turn was made east again toward the camp. There was no disorder anywhere along the line as the marchers swung along gayly sing- ing the songs of Red Russia to the monotonous beat of & single drum. Small cheering sections kept up cheer- ing, but there was no attempt at any time to break out of the closely-held police lines. ‘The head of the column got a severe gasing from the exhausts of overheated motor cycles time after time. Benjamin complained to police that the fumes of the half-dozen motor cycles which cleared the way were making him and others of the marchers sick. At one time Benjamin was forced to halt and gasp for air between K and L streets on Thirteenth, and after that Maj. Brown ordered that the motor cycles stay well out in front of the marchers. Trudge Back to Camp. ‘Tired, /but apparently happy, the marchers trudged back to their New ‘York avenue camp about 1:30 p.m. Ap- proximately half a dozen of them were orced to drop out along the line be- cause of illness. They were assisted into first aid cars supplied by the ‘Workers International Relief, in which they were given restoratives. All de- clined to go to a hospital. Sidewalks were jammed all along the line of march and motor cycle police- men were forced to run back and forth in order to keep the crowds from form- ing into_the streets. during 4| has been made, he said, to and unless L TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1932. CURTIS THREATENS TO OUST GROUP OF MARCHERS, CHARGING “INSULT” jumps ahead of the marchers through- out the procession. The gas_ squad moved along in closed automobiles a block or so ahead of the procession, as a rule, but during the march through the downtown section dozen times to take up positions at points where it was thought the march- ers might try to make a break toward the White House. No such movement was made. Back st the camp, the flelds and woods besides New York avenue were thronged with spectators, who, barred by police prior to the parade, had taken edvantage of the opportunity to attain | points of vantage. Undecided on Course. Leaders of the marchers were unde- cided at lunch time just what further course they would take. Levinson said there would be a conference of all leaders to map out plans, while Ben- jamin announced the marchers would depart as soon as they had been fed. Truck loads of box lunches were un- loaded about an hour after the march- ers had reached their camp and dis- tributed. A field hospital was set up for those who felt the effects of the long parade. Police Supt. Brown announced that all members of the force who had been on duty since midnight last night, about two-thirds of the entire police personnel, were to report to their sta- tions for further orders and retained the remainder as a guard over the marchers, Levinson, with a small group that has been acting as his personal staff throughout the encampment, left the | marchers and drove into town as the food was being distributed. Singing Dies Away. Awed by the greatest massing of police strengih in the history of Wash- ington, the column arrived at Constitu- tlon and New Jersey avenues shortly before 11:30. Their singing, which had been boisterous along the route, died almost to a whisper as they were halted where New Jersey avenue joins Consti- tution avenue. A solid double line of policemen was stretched across the he of New Jer- sey avenue and flanking that avenue for several blocks, while motor cycles with side cars were parked hub-to-hub, two deep, just in front of the police blockade. Levinson led the marchers by several blocks and obtained assurance from Maj. Brown that the marchers would be allowed to present whatever petition they might see fit to Congress. As the head of the column reached the blockade, it was halted and Ben- jamin, who had been leading the parade all the way, went into a conference with Maj. Brown and other police Ofl"l?%by the police rintendent 3 suj enden that the entire group could not go into the Capitol grounds or make any onstration in front of the Capitol, Ben- jamin said: “I can see that you have a show of force here that it would be im) ible for us to overcome. We feel that we are not being given the opportunity to exercise our hts. We could not break away from any such force as you have concentrated here.” After a short further conference from which newspaper men were excluded, & was agreed between the police and hunger march leaders that two groups of about 20 should ‘gn;utnt petitions, one towl.he }gouu u:fiul othzrm to the Sen- ate, and. accor y, STOUps were picked by Benjamin and Levinson, and, escorted by heavy police guards, went into the Capitol. John Pace Returns. Inspector Brown revealed, a short time before the marchers arrived be- side the Capitol, that John Pace, who last Summer led groups ousted by the bonus marchers in demonstrations at the Capitol and White House, has re- g e mh large a group said that his men have found that large past 24 hours. No effort isolate these Communists some demon- stration is started, no effort will be He did say, however, that police have seized a quantity of literature presum- ably issued by Pace’s organization, call- ing for a mew bonus veterans concen- tration in Washington. hout the wait, while their rep- resentatives were presenting their pe- titlons to Congress, the main column of the hunger marchers stood in the street, singing and waving banners, but of violence any- Late in completing their formation, the marchers finally swung into action at 10:20 o'clock. Lined up four abreast, they set out with military step the haze- goal of their long trek—the Capitol. They appeared in good spirits, despite their chilly and uncomfortable 36-hour sojourn on the bleak paved stretch of pavement hard by the railroad yards. “Shock Troops” Massed. Outside the Senate Office Building police had massed a force of “shock troops,” under command of Inspector James .__This force consisted of approximately 75 bluecoats, stationed 2 and 3 deep at the corner of New Jersey and Constitution avenues, with about 30 more strung along New Jersey ave- nue. before the arrived at thfilm hundredsmhwn had gathered about the corner and had scattered over the entire Capitol plaza. Every street bore additional streams of curious citizens into the area. Inspector Beckett also had at his disposal about 30 firemen, pressed into service during the emergency, and hidden away within convenient cal distance was a force of reserves, the strength of which he would not reveal. At the head of the column of march- ers as the parade got under way was a small group of leaders of the demon- stration. Ahead of the marchers were half a dozen newsreel trucks and a squad of motor cycle policemen. Immediately behind the march leader came the 15-piece “Red Front” Band of New York, in the gray uniforms of the Soviet Union. ‘The column of marchers was grouped in geographical units which included only two trade divisions, those of the “‘unemployed seamen” and “un longshoremen.” Spectators Kept Back. Long before the marchers moved from their camp, hundreds of spectators as- sembled on the hill to the south and on building tops along the line of march. The visitors were kept back by a strong police guard concentrated at the west end of the camp. Here the uniformed police formed on either side of the avenue as the marchers passed ™ patrolmen, under direction of Supt. Brown, fell in on either side of the column to prevent and to reinforce the police guarding areas of the Capitol closed to the marchers. The campers were slow about arising this morning as there was no food on hand until long after daylight and the march was not scheduled until 9:30. Commissary trucks arrived about 9 o'clock from the downtown food depot they jumj several blocks ahead at least half a |Ri | unemployed insurance and other bene- fits.

The marchers were led by Herbert Benjamin and Ann Burlak. Motor cycle policemen ‘moved back and forth along the long line of march- ers, keeping traffic out of the way and preventing the spectators from surging into the streets. If there was any enthusiasm in the crowds that thronged the sidewalks it was kept secret. Along the entire route only one woman was seen to applaud and there were no cheers, En route they tramped along &uce- fully enough, apparently taking delight in singing their songs and chanting their demands. Now and then one or two of them attempted to fall out of line to greet some friend on the side- walk, but officers immediately ordered them back. In each instance they obeyed without a murmur. Benjamin Voices Objection. As the procession moved along New York avenue between North Capitol and Pirst streets northwest, Benjamin fell out of line to object to the gas from the exhausts of the motor cycles in the lead. He accused police of de- liberately trying “to smoke us out.” The ‘motor cycles moved farther ahead, how- ever, and he dropped back into the line of march. Strict orders were passed along to the patrolmen from their immediate su- periors directing them to tréat the miarchers courteously and to refrain from force unless it was necessary for the preservation of order. The marchers also were ordered by their leaders to pay close attention to police regulations and to avold incurring disci ac- tion on the part of local aut Some of the groups marched alon giving yells at the direction of a cheer leader.

Nearly 200 had left the trucks and gone to domiciles downtown as colder weather descended upon the city. Later permission was given for some 300 men to go to large buildings and private homes which had been opened to receive the visitors. After more than a hundred had de- parted and trucks and taxicabs were stang by to take others, it was found a half dozen of the vehicles were disabled by slashed tires. Police Vandalism Charged. lice vandalism, the marences “shobted. threats. acrees the deadline. The sternly guarded officers denied the accusation and charged the marchers, in return, with cutting the tires to excite sympathy. Long after dark, as this group of demonstrators indicated they would be gone within 36 hours, a new caravan began its entrance into the city. It was the first delegation of the Farmers’ National Relief movement, which is to hold a convention here this week. Sixty were in the group, repre senting eight Western States. ‘They had their own provisions and bedding and were permitted by police to find their own lodgings. ‘The demonstrators held their first lling | parade last night withine® the small arear in which the authorities have confined them since they arrived. Their audience consisted of some 450 blue- coats, reserves having been called when the demonstrators began to mass in a group. ‘The parade in the pavement stretch where they are held, began to the tune of the “Internationale.” As the group advanced toward a roped pelice line, the sirens of the reserves screamed thrm'-x:h the city, bringing re-inforce- ments.

Mrs. Charlotte Randall of 3707 Ingo- mar street, played the role of Good Samaritan for 500 policemen and fire- men on duty guarding the hunger marchers last night. Mrs, Randall, well known and beloved among the fire-ghting fraternity of Washington and Montgomery County for her untiring aid, both financial and spiritual, in their activities, drove to tl';; hunger marchers’ camp early last For an hour the police lined New York night. Passing through the blue-coated ranks, Mrs. Randall sought out a num- ber of her friends among Fire De- partment officials in the and overheard, during their conversation, & number of police standing nearby com- plaining of hunger. A hurried call to police headquarters was met with the official announce- ment that there would be no objectiop if Mrs. Randall took it upon herself to feed the hunger police. Orders Sandwiches and Coffee. Driving quickly across town to a Cone necticut avenue restaurant, Mrs. Ran- dall ordered 1,150 sandwiches and 30 gallons of coffee prepared immediately. In two trips to the camp Mrs, Randall distributed the food and beverage among the police and firemen, while many members of the press also “crashed the party.” “I felt the men were in need and someone ought to feed them,” she remarked to a police official. Mrs. Randall, it was learned, treated 21 members of No. 31 Engine Company who were on duty as policemen near her home at a dinner Sunday night, while it was said today that she plans to play host to the policemen and fire= men at the camp again tonight it officials do not make provisions for feeding the men. Named “Honorary Chief.” Mrs. Randall, widow of the president of a New York insurance firm, for sev- eral years has made liberal donations for various activities of the fire depart~ ments in Montgomery County and has also given many trophies and csh prizes for the parades and contests helg by the firemen both in that comm: and in the District of Columl She holds the position of “honoi chief” of the Chevy Chase Volun Fire Department. 20 DEPUTY SHERIFFS USE MACHINE GUNS ON FARM EXPULSION (Continued From Pirst Page) Cicshon, he said, refused to capitulaf He expressed determynation “to shoot out to show the farmer has some rights,” the sheriff said.

Indicative of the growing tension bes tween the demonstrators and the po= lice was a series of charges ad: by Benjamin against the police after the meeting last night. All of them were scoffed at by police as * ganda designed to discredit the force.” He claimed that police had slashed the auto tires and had declined to di- rect a car containing a sick demon= strator to the hospital. Replying specifically to the latter charge, police said that last night some 14 demonstrators had been sent by them to one of the larger Washington hospitals by ambulance the moment that physicians from the ambulance corps indicated they were ill. Astors Visit Camp. Among visitors at the camp yester day were Viscount and Lady Astor of England. Lady Astor, the former Nancy Langhorne of Virginia, talked to Miss Burlack and other demonstrators. Representative Swing, Republican, of California. also visited the demonstra- tors’ camp. His visit was followed by a report by one of tne men who talked with hini, and who identified himself only as a representative of the Civil Liberties Union, that Swing, Costigan and others planned to take up the ques= tion of their plight. Swing's only comment was that he was out looking the camp over. A half dozen automobile loads of ai ing demonstrators were taken out the group last night, the approximately 35 going to & concentration center for distribution among private homes, where they were to be taken care of. The sick were described as suffering from recurrence of previous ailments brought on by exposure. Approximately 200 women were tal out yesterday, some of them among sick, and quartered elsewhere.
