Denied as Camping Ground When
Men Come Here From
Allentown

eli Kirk Price vice chairman OF the
Park Commission. has refused permission W
the United States Army Ambulance Corps
stationed at Allentown, Pa 10 use Sny
part Of Fairmount Park as campins
ground when the men come to this city
Mr.. Price was asked yesterday by Lieu
tenant Colonel Clarence p Franklin ad-
jutant Of the Allentown camp, " Belmont
Plateau might be used by the men as
place 20 pitch their tents for two or three
DAYS, or until after the "Usaacs' football
game on Saturday with the marine corps

relatives in this city and the general public,
they we're to parade before the game.
"Fairmount Park has never been used
as a camping ground by large military
bodies and the Park Commissions policy is
against issuing permits for any camping
parties said Mr.. Price today.
Lieutenant Colonel Franklin was aston.
lshed when the permission was refused him
Yesterday He reminded Mr.. Price that
the Belmont Plateau had been given over
TO a Red Cross hospital corps camp some
months ago THAT was merely because
the request came from DIR. Edward Martin,
who is a personal friend of mine" Mr. Price
is quoted as replying. His request was
granted with the understanding that n
similar one would not be repeated"
Apparently Mr.. Price had no personal
friends" among the men of the United States

He defended his permission TO Doctor
Martin to use the Belmont plateau by say
ing that the Park Is frequently given over
to one-day drills and parades and other
demonstrations, but that to permit several
hundred men to camp there for several days
and nights was Il different proposition
