President Hoover for the brutal po-
lice and military attack on the first
bonus marchers last July %, and
other demands. Large numbers of
bonus marchers remained outside
while the petitions were being pre-
sented.
The delegations were composed Of
rs veterans each, elected at an open
hearing last night called by the Vet

mittee. Only five of each commit
tee, however, we're allowed in to see
Garner and Curtis. The Capitol
looked like an armed camp, guarded
by several hundred police, with ma
chine guns and tear gas bombs held
ready for action.
Curtis Abuses Delegation.
AS in the case of the hunger
marchers, Curtis abused the delega-
ton that came to see him and tried
to heckle them. When a member of
the committee refused to shake
hands with him, he told him to go to
the devil. The committee to Cur
tbs was headed by Samuel j. Sem
Der, chairman of the Greater New
York Veterans Rank and File Com
mittee. Stember began reading the
petition and when he came to the
passage about censuring Hoover,
Curtis stopped him and told him to
strike 1t out.
'.Are we to understand you approve
of this treatment of the veterans?"
Stember asked.
Curtis got red in the face and re-
piled angrily that he would not pre-
sent the petition with this demand
in it.
Ford Heads Other Delegation.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-Utilizing the
disabled veteran as a smokescreen,
the high command of the Ameri-

despicable strategy in an effort to
stifle the struggle for immediate cash

leaders of the American Legion will
be exposed at mass meeting of ex-
