Achieve Unity.
! Despite the disruption OF various
elements in the camp, unity has been
achieved between the regular con-
tingent and those who came to the
camp under Thomas and Foullrod.
Milton, one of the members of the
Convention Arrangements Committee
is, however, descriptive element who
participated in the December action
/ and has been known to cause con-
siderable trouble among the vets
ever since He came in with a reg
ular contingent from Cleveland. but
went over to the Thomas Foulkrod
group.
Although efforts have been made

job in order to prevent this. Amors
them was Woods, reputed to be q
world-war aid and soldier of fortune,

Stiffen Rules.
| This morning, after the diSruptiye
efforts of a few self seekers in the
camp had failed, the committee in
charge decided to use firm hand.
It decided:
| THAT all men coming into the
camp, must be registered, otherwise
they would not be admitted.
2.-That all men going to the CITY
would not be able to return unless
they had a registration card.
3.-That they would make the
greatest efforts possible to draw the
men into unity, so that everybody
would be registered and would be bill
leted along the street with the other
veterans.
It is reported that President Roo
sevelt's wife will visit the camp. I'm
doubtedly the government is inter-
ested in disunity of the veterans and
sees itself outmaneuvered and will
Use all methods in order to cause
disruption within.
Salznan, seIf-styIed leader of
Brooklyn, attempted a march on the
White House, not knowing that Pres
ident Roosevelt was not in the city.
Twenty seven men attempted to
march but were stopped by the po-
turned to Brooklyn, where he is mo-
bilizing more men to come to Wash
ington He is one of the disruptors,
who when he cannot succeed talks
of bringing another army to Wash
ington.
At the camp YESTERDAY. church SER
vices were held, at which Rabbi
Loge, a vicious enemy of the Soviet
Union, declared in his sermon that
