DR.. Manning, who was chaplain of the
Eeventy seventh when 1t was at Camp
linton. was incensed at the prospect of
the parade being abandoned, particu-
larIy, he said, because the division be-
longs clearly to tho city, whereas the
Twenty-seventh Division, which was
permitted to parade, had comparatively
only a small number of troops from this
city. Only replacement troops ..in the
Seyenty-seyenth are men from outside
New York city. DR.. Manning said his
attitude was concurred In by Rabbi

This Isn't sufficient reason" Dr. Man
hing said. ito deprive New York of the
parade of Its own boys, drawn from the
city itself. Why shouldn't tho Seventy
seventh Division parade be held7 1t is
more New York's own than the Twenty
seventh. From my contact with families
and friends of the men i know what
their feeling Is on tho matter. They will
