were criticized yesterday by Capt. Hoke
Smith, national field commander in
charge Of personnel and organization

address here.
Will Seek President.
Smith said that a committee Of the
organization will attempt to get an
audience with President Hoover Thurs
day morning at which time they will
ask the Chief Executive to give their
organization official recognition and
insist that he recommend legislation
for immediate payment of the bonus.
Declaring that the B. E. F. is un-
equivocally opposed to President Hoover
Oh his bonus stand Smith condemned
the Mitchell report of the bonus army
evacuation, and added that Secretary
Hurley must have lied" when he said
in his American Legion speech at Port

tents were burned undtr Army orders.
Accuses Secretary.
II Attorney General Mitchell's state
ment in his report that there were q
good many criminals among those who
were in the Washington bonus camp
before the evacuation was negotiated is
true, Smith SAID, then Mitchell is guilty
of negligence OF duty because he didn't
have the criminals arrested.
Again. if Mitchell's statement regard
ing the criminals is true, Smith de-
clared, the carrying out of the proposal
that the Government furnish the funds
to transport any of the veterans so miles
out of Washington would have made
the Attorney General an accessory after
the facts. because it would have con-
Stituted the crime of aiding criminals
