leaders Of the radical element among
the bonus force. Levin is now behind
bars in the fourth precinct station,
held without charges. while authorities
check his record as Communist agi-
tator in New York and Washington.
The President has laid the blame
for the disorders of Thursday on rad
tcals, and as result a concerted round
up OF all agitatorS has been started.
Already $50 have been deported from
the District and 10 others are being
held for investigation by immigration
authorities.
The American Civil Liberties Union.
however, has served notice of its in
tention to fight efforts to place the
blame for the riots on radicals. In a
statement announcing the appointment
of Jesse c. Duke, Washington attorney,
to defend the SO alleged radicals arrest
ed after a meeting Friday afternoon.
the union declared the attempt to
throw the responsibility for the dis
order and violence upon Communists
"sayors of many similar accusations of
red plots IN recent years which have
faded into thin air when put to the
test of honest investigation"
AssaiIs Luhring's Charge.
The organization also declared it stood
appaHed at the charge given the
grand jury by Justice Luhring of the
District Supreme Court, In which. the
statement said, "he expressed the hope
that the grand jurors would find that
the mob which attacked the police was
composed mainly Of Communists and
other disorderly elements and not Of
former soldiers"
Steps to defend IS others arrested by
the police were taken by David Levin
son, a Pennsylvania lawyer, who OBJ
tanned from Justice Luhring a writ OF
habeas corpus directing Gen. Glassford
and Secretary Doak to bring the pris-
oners before the court Tuesday. Lew
inson's petition alleged the men are be-
ing held Illegally, since no charge has
been preferred against them

Peace settled over Washington yes
terday Immediately sitter the retreat Of
the last remaining groups Of bonus
seekers, 800 Of whom were rounded up
in public parks between midnight and
dawn and driven out of the District
across the Maryland border. The last
of the veterans to leave, however, were
200 members of the Oregon delegation,
the first to arrive in Washington more
than two months ago.
Last night the once teeming bonus
marcher camps presented the sorry
spectacle of desertion, rubbish and
gaunt, charred timbers. Not soul was
to be found among the ruins OF what
short while ago we're the homes OF
some $4,000 men, women and children.
Guard Is Removed.
Camp Marks, in Anacostia, guarded
until yesterday afternoon by troops and
police. last night could not boast even
Of that, and only the ruins Of the ShackS
and tents, the discarded household ef-
fects. here and there child's toy, and
In other places piles Of rocks with which
the bonus marchers had prepared to de-
fend themselves, gave testimony that
the fats had ever been tenanted
Camp Bartlett was even more desc
late. All the tents had been taken down
and only rubbish heaps remained.
Not even loiterers stopped at the
Pennsylvania avenue camp where de-
mobilization of the bonus army was
started. The wreckers already had
gone to work completing the job done
by the troops, and only here and there
charred remains of the rude shelters
told the story Of the bonus army's occu-
patton.
Loiterers avoided the park between
Third and Fourth streets, Maine and
Missouri avenues as though it were
pestilent.
There was, however, activity at the
three headquarters of the bonus army,
one in the TOO block of Pennsylvania
avenue, whence the last of the organ
lied veterans departed yesterday morn
ing; at the North Capitol street head
quarters of Comdr Walter w. Waters,
where members of his staff were wind
ing up the affairs Of the army and
laying plans for permanent organiza-
ton of the Khaki Shirts" to press for
payment of the bonus, and at the
Eleventh street southeast headquarters,
where a few veterans remained, wind
ing up their affairs.
