CHICAGO, Sept. 10. U.P) - The
United States government is in
vestigating the billion dollar insult

learned today.

learned, after the arrival of United
States District Attorney Dwight F.
Green, who has been in Washing
ton, D. c., presumably studying ex-
tradition treaties of the, United
States with France and Canada in
connection with the investigation.
The three possible courses of the
investigation are:
/. Inquiry into the use of the
mails by the insult companies.
O.. Whether there was any at
tempt to shield or conceal assets,
3. Inquiry through the internal
revenue department into the in
come tax on individuals connected
with the companies.
Samuel insult, once the head of
the vast utilities empire, at present
is in Paris on an $4,000 a year
pension and his brother, Martin
j. insult, head of one of the major
companies, is living in Canada.
States Attorney John A. Swan
son also pushed his phase of the
inquiry. A special auditor studied
the intricate records of the inter-
locking companies. The auditor
was empowered by Federal Judge
Walter G. Lindley to check the
findings Of the Arthur Anderson
company, auditors for the insult
receivers.

others who underwent the scrutiny
Of policemen.
General Glassford was criticized
yesterday by the Capitol Police
Board, was defended by Senators
Arthur Capper (RD of Kansas,
chairman Of the Senate District
Committee, and Smith w. Brook
hart .(R0 of Iowa.
Both declared Gen, Glassford
had used good judgement in hand
ling the bonus marchers and that
he should be commended instead
of condemned.
General Glassford, commenting
on the criticism by the Capitol
building staff, said:
"a situation has been created
ON the Capitol grounds such
that intolerance or a blunder
would quickly affect the situa-
ton in the entire District. The
responsibility for law and order
has been placed Squarely on my
shoulders.
"FOr this reason, it became
necessary in this emergency to
take from the group known as
the Capitol Police Board the
responsibility for maintaining
law and order in the Capitol
grounds and for enforcing such
regulations pertaining to these
grounds as would be possible
without inviting violence.
"The Vice President told me
in person that he did not de-
sire violence"
Asks ReinfOrCementS
Robertson, in commenting on
the possible adjournment of Con-
greSS today, sent out a call last
night for all veterans in the Dis
trict of Columbia to join him in
his picket. He said:
"If the House and Senate quit
without passing a cash bonus
bill, we will be on hand, thou
sands strong, to bid them good
by but not good luck"
Police received reports that
Communist members of the BONDS
army planned a window-Sn,ashing
demonstration during the day.
Little trouble from this source,
however, was expected. The Com
muniSts paraded yesterday, but
were curbed by police, and there
was no disorder.

want as long as I am in charge
of policing these grounds. But
after that, / don't know"


after that, don't know"
The Capitol officer, upon hav-
ing his command rescinded, apollo
gized to the photographers.
Shortly after noon, GlaSsford
said the situation was well in
hand. He explained that the
reason for his compromise with
Waters was because of his orders
that there must be no violence
and because Waters had guaran-
teed that there would be no vio-
lence on the part Of his men.
Plenty of Confidence
GlasSford said:
81 do not believe even . regi-
ment Of marines could have put
those boys off the Capitol Plaza
today without unnecessary
blOOdShed. still insist that I
am handling this situation as 1t
can be handled best"
The police chief explained fur.
ther that he had made it clear to
Waters that while his men could
congregate on the Senate steps
and before them, that they must
not block sidewalks or any exit
which a member of Congress
might desire to use.
Scores of Secret Service agents
and Department Of Justice oper-
atives augmented the Metropoli.
tan and Capitol police details.
Senator Ashurst CD of Ari-
IONA wandered about through the
group while the speech-making
was in progress. Several mem
berS of the House also circulated
in the group.
Wait To See Garner
Speaker Garner refused to see
Robertson, when the latter sought
audience with him with the an.
nounced determination to find
whether immediate action on
the bonus bill" will be taken.
Robertson and members Of the
committee Of his group waited
at the basement entrance to the
House side, while the Capitol po-
licemen were sent to petition the
Speaker.
Garner sent back word he had
already seen leaders Of the B. E.
F. at Representative Patman's re-
quest at IL o'clock.
Robertson objected that he
himself had not been seen and
that the leaders were the So-called
regular group of the Bonus Army.
At this juncture Captain GnaSh,
of Capitol police told Robertson:
''WeII, I'll give you the best
work / can. I'll send . request
to him to see you individually"
The Speaker again sent back
word that he had had all the con-
ferences he intended to have to-
day with the bonus leaders.
Senate Gates Closed
The big iron gates at the
Senate wing of the Capitol were
closed shortly after the Senate
convened.
Capitol policemen, from the
time the iron gates we were put
up, admitted only persons they
knew. Tourists who want to see
potential end Of Congress were
out of luck. They were turned
back by the scores and told:
"COme back later The Sem
ate entrances and galleries are
closed temporarily"
Under this emergency rule the
only persons that gained access
to the Senate wing Of the Capitol
were Senators. messengers with
