The first step taken by police after
the troops had completed their task
was to rid the city of all radical
suspects who had connected themselves
with the Bonus Expeditionary Force.
Today 10 were being held in three
police precincts awaiting further in

immigration agents.
During the early hours, James w
Ford, colored candidate for Vice Presi-

fourth precinct station house was
Emanual Levin, the alleged leader Of
Communist activities among the vet

leaders, were merely tools in his hands
Inspector Davis said he was salts
fed that Levin and his radical party
promulgated the bonus march to Wash
newspaper men that the Communis
party was responsible for the move
