when Mr.. Hoover persuaded the
big shots to accept a postpone
ment of payment on the full
bonus.
The rank and file didn't like
that agreement. They felt they
had been sold out. Times were
already too hard-millions of men
were even then unemployed.
And there was further disSatis-
faction over the arrangement by
which a SO per cent loan on the
bonus was granted. 1t is gen.
orally thought that all veterans
received that so per cent loan.
Such, it is now revealed, was
not the case.
In order to obtain that loan,
it was necessary for the men to
file within a certain time. Fail
ing to do that, the loan could
not be obtained for two years.
Didn't Get Loan
1t proved to be tricky clause.
Many of the men did not under
slant it. Many. for one reason
or another, failed to file in time.
AS consequence, thousands of
veterans, did not receive that
preliminary loan.
The chief criticism directed
against the B. E. F. is that they
have alreay had a stake from the
government and that further help
should now go to other unem-
ployed.
But the fact, is thousands now

the rest of the Nation.
If they were even any plain
effort to make good on those
promises, they would carry on.
Chain Letter Issued
But if the promises weren't
made good-within a year
Or if relief was given to the
wealthy and withheld from the
poor-then the word was to go
out in 1931-
And the march was to begin!
You know the record of last
year. They know the record,
too
Last fall the word went out.
1t went out by chain letter.
THE LETTER SAID. THE
TIME HAS COME. YOU
KNOW THE ARRANGE
MENT. GET READY. CALL
ALL THE MEN TOGETHER
WHOM YOU CAN REACH
AND GET GOING TO WASH
INGTON. MAKE THREE
COPIES OF THIS LETTER
AND SEND 1T ON"
Millions of copies of that
letter, and other notices similarly
worded, have been sent and are
still being sent throughout
America. And on every road, on
transcontinental highways, on
dusty country lanes, down noun
tain trails. along levees, the
soldiers of 1917 are on the
march.
Under Common Orders
Some of them do not belong
to any veteran organization.
Many of them belong to organ
izations outside the Legion. But
they all carry an honorable dis
charge from the A. F. F..
They are all bound together for
common purpose and are
marching under common orders
and the rank and file Of the
American Legion working through
their regular Legion posts, are
behind that purpose and are
issuing those orders.
Those posts are sending the
men out-sending the food af-
ter them-and feeding the wo-
men and children they leave
behind.
They have issued information
which every man understands
and orders which every man
obeyS.
The men have been told plain
ly that they may not receive
the bonus at this time. that
Congress may try ''to run out
on them. they have been told
that the House of Representa-.
tives is passing the bonus bill
with an apparent gesture of
friendliness but that it then must
go to the Senate. where it will,
in all probability, be KILLED in
committee" when Congress ad-
journs.
They have also been told that
even though the bill should pass
bOCAL 41OOOC dAIO
President will veto it.
Prepared for Worst
These facts have been ex-
planned to every man in terms
so simple that the most unedu-
Gated can understand them. The
men expect these things to hap
pen. They are prepared and
expect to endure hunger, sick
ness and the hardship of storms
without shelter.
And now comes the last order,
which should give every thinker
in America pause:
If the bonus is not granted at
this time, 100000 men are to
march to Washington by July 4.
And this in an effort, not only
to obtain the bonus, but to
rescue all the unemployed in
America from their tragic plight.
What is the B. E. F. in Wash
ington? What does it intend
to do?
There's the answer.
The Washington times., 1932-06-15

in camp at Washington, have
not vet received a cent of the
bonus. Many of them have been
without jobs for two years. The
pallor of protracted malnutrition
is on their gaunt cheeks and on
their blue lips.
Their joints are swelling and
their skin is broken with the pitt
full sores of starvation. Their
homes are gone. their jobs are
gone. They have only one means
of support in the world-the price
of the youth they lost in France
and the blood they gave for
America.
Drawn Up Secretly
So the trouble started in De-
troit. The big shots had made
their agreement. The rank and
file. foreseeing all that has come
to pass, began to make theirs. No
one knows-or. perhaps, no one
will tell-who the actual leaders
of the B. E. F. were or are. But
the plan was drawn up then in
secret and, as secretly, carried
home in the minds of the men.
This was the plan
They would wait and watch.
They would wait to see if the
promises we're made good. The
promises to give jobs and relief
if they would not press for the
bonus.
If the promises were made
good within a year they would
carry on-taking pot luck with

CHILDREN
UNDER GUARD

The kidnapping Of young Charles
Augustus Lindbergh, jr., has
struck terror in the hearts of
hundreds Of wealthy and promi-
nent families.
After the death of Calvin
Coolidge, jr.. President Coolidge,
threatened with danger to his
oldest son, John. surrounded the
young man with detectives. John,
then a student at college, was
guarded night and day by Col.
E. w. Startling. of the White
House secret service.
Several years ago the five "J's",
children of Senator and Mrs.
James j. Davis, were threatened
by kidnapers. Since then every
precaution has been taken by the
Davis family to protect them.
Probably next to the Lindbergh.
the most famous baby has been
Paulina Longworth, daughter of
the late Speaker of the House
and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and
gra n d-daughter of Theodore
Roosevelt.
Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean has
guarded her children since their
birth with a corps of private de-
tectives. John, Eddie and little

Four clerks were in the Lind

cially to handling the flood Of

the carrier delivered three sacks

for his entire route.

sympathy or present possible

fantastic, are sent in great num-
berS.

Many of the ransom notes and
threatening letters being received
ct the Lindbergh home were
taken over by Federal detectives
from the Treasury Department,
sent here to help at the instance
of President Hoover.
In all, about 1,100 persons
were questioned in the country
wide search for the kidnapers.
At least 800 were examined at
the scene of the kidnapping.
During the day, more than 500
persons in the vicinity were ques-

Johnson was reported to be un-
employed, but to have formerly
worked on the yacht Of Thomas
w. Lamont, financier and Morgan
partner.
At Newark airport, crowds
patiently waited through the
night hoping for a glimpse Of
Lindhergh, who, according to q
radio broadcast, was tu hop off
some time during the night.
The plane, which Lindbergh
borrowed OH the Pacific coast
to speed with his wife to the
Morrow home on his return from
the Orient on the occasion Of
Senator Dwight w. Morrow's
death, was held in readiness for
him.
However. Lindbergh had not
taken off this morning.
Lindbergh was awaiting def
mite advices from Hartford before
deciding on the flight, it was
learned today.
From his isolated white house
on top of Sourland Mountain
word was sent to John j. Toohey,
secretary to Governor Moore at
Trenton that the Lone Eagle"
would proceed to Hartford only
''if developments warranted it,"

here, informed him the colonel
planned to stay home for the pres
ent.

He declared States Attorney
Hugh M. Alcorn, Of Hartford
county, requested one man be sent
to Hartford to examine Johnson.
Schoeffel doubted that Inspector
Harry Walsh, of Jersey City, him.
self would go to Hartford.
The simple, affecting appeal
which the diStraught parents
made to the kidnapers of their
curly-haired, blue-eyed son still re-
mained unanswered today.
Lindbergh, who unflinchingly
braved the perils Of the air when
his own life only was at stake.
and Mrs. Lindbergh, whose in
domitable courage in the face Of
heartbreaking tragedy has en-
deared her to all, begged the kid
napers for their baby on any
terms"
But the dramatic plea, flashed
throughout the nation within a
few minutes after being issued,
failed to induce those who stole
the worlds most famous hahv tn
communicate with the Lind
berghs, even though promised
ransom and immunity.

In a brief interview, Johnson
showed no alarm or nervousness.
He was inclined to smile, even
agree to have his picture taken.
He later declined to pose for
cameramen.
Asked if he had been near the

OIL SALES TAX

eign oil imports, won a partial
victory today when the House
ways and Means Committee, en-
gagged in framing the new tax bill,
voted in favor of placing an excise
tax Of AZ cents a barrel on i'm
ported oil. Independent pro
ducers had been demanding "a
cents a barrel.
The committee also voted for
a tax of 35 cents a gallon on
malt and a lesser tax on wort,
both of which are used in the
home brew industry. A final de-
ciSion was yet to be made on
proposed tax on wine concen-
trates.

cent on first $4,000; 4 per cent
on next $4,000 and 6 per cent
on all over that amount. Indi-
vidual exemption 81 900 for single
persons and $4,000 for married
persons.

credit.
Gift tax ranging from 115 per
cent on $4,000 or less to 80 per
cent on gifts of $1,000.000 or
