The Presidents attitude toward the

They gave bail for appearance 4 To-
lice Court tomorrow on charge Of
obstructing traffic. The leaders Of the
Women's party tonight indicated that
their defense would rest upon their
constitutional right to petition the
President for redress OF grievances.
The resumption of the picketing was
deliberately planned. The police were
ready for 1t. and handled 1t as sched-
uled. They made no objection to the
appearance of the banners. and per-
mitted the women to take their places
at tho White House gates. No one was
