EVICTION OF EX-sERV|CE
 MEN AT WASHINGTON
 UPHELD BY HOOVER

WASHINGTON, Sept, 12,-Presi- dent Hoover made public report that the evic Ii ion of the Bonus Army from the Capitol was an ab- solute necessity because it had prot to Washington at one time the largest aggregation of criminals in history.
 His report said that 1869 mem bers of the army were ex-convictS and that large proportion of the remainder were communists and reds" and that 879 had no military record.
 American Legion spokesmen an- swered by saying the report was another alibi of the administration which is endeavoring to get back into the good graces of the Ameri- can Legion on the eve of the or ganization's annual convention at Portland, Ore.
 The report, which was drafted by Attorney General Mitchell at the request of President Hoover, said the result of the Federal inveStiga- tion and eviction was no reflection upon the better element of the bonus seekers and he hoped the public would not misconStrue the facts and would give the report careful consideration.
 The better element lost control of the situation with the result that just about every law in the Capitol was violated, that house. wives and small business men were constantly threatened and almost every crime, from rape to arson. had been committed by members ot the Bonus Army.
 At Portland, where the American Legion Convention has convened success is generally conceded for immediate payment of the bonus at the forthcoming session of Con- greSS. The Legion delegates are having a wonderful time here play Ing around and enjoying them selves, as we'll as taking care of convention business.
 w. w. Walters, leader of the Bonus Army, wired from New York that he is unable to raise funds With which to attend the conven- tlon but wished the convention suc- cess. MacNider, recently resigned ambassador to Canada, turned back from the convention towards home because of the illness of one of his children.

THOUSAND MEN
 BATTLE FOREST FIRE

VENTURA, Calif., Sept, 12,- More than 1000 men continued to throw their strength against forest fires which are raging over a 35- mile front in this area which is covered with ashes and a thick pail of smoke.
 Indiscriminating recruiting of fighters has been resorted to bol- ster the present forces. The fire warden announced that heroic measures are needed to save the region over which flames have al- ready blackened 6O,OOO acres.
 The advancing flames, famed by a wind sweeping toward the Pacific ocean, are manacing a number of towns and virgin forests and resi- dents of the area are terror-strick- en. American Legion organizations as we'll as many others, have vol unteered their servicees.

DISASTER 0vERTAKEs
 FLYING HUTCHINSON
 FAMILY, GREENLAND

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Sept, 12,-Disaster, it is feared, has over taken the Flying Hutchinson Fam fly" who were enroute to Europe, via Greenland, on leisurely air plane flight. An emergency land ing was made, sos calls sent out but when nearby vessels rushed to the location, no trace of the big Sikorsky plane or it's inmates could be found.
 The emergency landing was made In the sea off the southern coast of Greenland; radio signals for help were intercepted but those suddenly ceased The British traw- Ter, Lord Talbert, which was only a few miles away from the designat- ed position of the plane, immedi- ately rushed to the spot, 30 miles off the coast, but not a sign of the plane could be seen.
 The family comprised MT. and Mrs. George Hutchinson and their two daughters, Janet Lee, aged six and Kathryn, eight; and a crew of four men.
 The flight to London from the United States began several days ago and until this time, the air cruise had proceeded without mis- hap. The family had been flying for four years, their most recent flight being a cruise around the United States, 21,OOO miles, requir- ing some seven months to complete. The present flight was the first time the children have been pas- sengers on transatlantic plane.
 A late dispatch from Greeland said further intensive search of the area where the plane is thought to have landed, proved futile.

RENT STRIKERS

Will Support Paper
That Helped Win

NEW YORK-The following reso-
luton was adopted Friday at a meet
ing of the tenants of 1903 Franklin
Ave, held on the occasion of the
victorious conclusion of their strug-
gle against evictions and for lower
rent:
Many of the capitalist papers gave
much news space to our struggle.
However they tried to serve the pur-
pose of discouraging the striking ten
ants, by publishing the news of what
the Landlords Association will do.
1T was the workers papers, the
Daily Worker and the Morning
Freiheit,' which sent its representa-
tives to give the clear and correct
facts of the struggle to the workers
in the neighborhood and city.
Therefore the tenants meeting ac-
knowledges the value of a workers
press and pledges its support to the
Daily Worker and the Morning
Freiheit.'

Of the union, who Unanswered the
members into a situation, where such
an award could be given them, are
trying to smooth matters over. They
prohibited the Times chapel from re-

vent forcing substitute printers to
wait around four hours of their own
time to get chance at days work.
Yesterday the officials called

and launched new and tricky Of
fensive against the membership.
The officials told the chairmen that
nothing could be done about the
award, but the members shouldn't
worry too much, because adjustments
might be made in the various shops.
This is dangerous, if the printers
are lulled into quiet by any such
scheme, it will result in plain sub
mission to the publishers. 1t will
mean that as soon as the Christmas
season rush is over, the staggered
shift plan and all the other bad fea-

enforced. The social life of the regu-

be abolished when the employers feel
