be allowed to visit their homes. =
Officers in charge OF the men told
The Times today that most of the men
had planned going through Washing

Plans for a demonstration for tile
men. which Maj Gen. George Bar

abandoned temporarily with TIE
granting Of the thirty-day furloush.
These men, all members Of the Ia
nous Fifth and Sixth regiments OF

That these men will march in the
