BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1932 M2 Miss Margaret L. Tracy of 7015 Ridge Court, who left the New Prospect Hotel, Shelter Island, Friday, is now making a visit In Boston, after which she will return to her home. Capital Tense For Reaction off the community like soldiers billeted in an enemy country. "It is appalling to think of the disorder and bloodshed that would have occurred if darkness had fallen on the city, with the police hopelessly overwhelmed at the scene of the disturbance and the balance of the community without prlice Political Pet Fails, In Strategic Post To Stop City Waste Mitchell Is pulling the chestnuts out of Hoover's fire. Just as Assistant Secretary of War Davison attempted to do in Brooklyn a few days ago.

Any one can see through the move. "Of course, no one man can say whether or not there were men In the Bonus Army with criminal records. And, anyway. Just what were they convicted of? A man receives a tag for parking too close to a fireplug. Thereafter he has a police record." 'Afraid to Tell Truth' Milton Haas, Sayville county official and vice-commander of the Suffolk County Legion: "Politics? Of course, it is poll-tics.

It has been politics from the very beginning." Expect Legion To Ask Bonus, Reversing Self 35 State Units Pledged to Cash Payment as Convention Is Opened Portland. Sept. 12 Reversal of its stand of a year ago against immediate payment of the soldiers' bonus was widely predicted as delegatees assembled here today for the of the annual national convention of the American best estimates ran from 6.000 to 8,000. It was only with respect to the first 3,656 to arrive that the investigators had complete data, he said, because when it was found that the Government had come into possession of the muster roll, registration of new rivals was suspended on June 12. The report concluded with these words: "The right peaceably to petition Congress for redress of alleged grievances does not include assemblage of disorderly thousands at the seat bf the Government for purposes of coercion." Local Reaction Reaction of Brooklyn and Long Island legionaires to the Mitchell report include the following: James M.

Goldlng, Kings County Vice Commander and post commander of Brooklyn Post of the legion: "Attorney General Mitchell's statement coming at this time Is an attempt to exert pressure on the legion to forestall any attempts at passing a resolution censuring President Hoover at the national convention which opens today in Portland. I think that this statement was ill-timely released. It will do nothing but provoke the purpose of the question the Washington administration sought to evade. It will add fuel to a fire already kindled." Called 'Polities' Noah Seedman, Judge Advocate and past commander of Brownsville Post, American Legion: "This is a nlain case of trvin? to Oppenheim.Qllins Fulton Street Brooklyn NO. 45 In the city budget appears the item "DIRECTOR OF THE BUDGET, $17,500." That little item could be the indication of a valuable service to the taxpayers.

Instead it has developed into just ANOTHER NICE POLITICAL JOB. (Mayor McKee has decreed it shall henceforth pay $13,000.) It is not the loss of the $17,500 salary that counts so much. The thing that hurts is the FAILURE OF THE MAN FILLING THE JOB TO MEASURE UP TO THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SERVICE THAT IT OFFERS. The right man in that job would not be hindered by the lack of legalistic powers assigned to the post. He COULD MARSHAL PUBLIC OPINION BEHIND HIM SO STRONGLY in conscientious efforts to PREVENT THE WASTE OF TAXPAYERS' MONEY that his dictates would carry all weight needed to FORCE ECONOMIES.

A "yes" man under the DOMINATION OF POLITICAL POTENTATES or too closely associated with minor political pets cannot measure up to the opportunities for service to the taxpayers which the job of Director -of the Budget offers. In the budget the appropriation for the salary of the Mayor and the Director of the Budget appears in a single bracket. Perhaps there was a suggestion of something or other in that. This Fur-Collared Suit. Hat to protection.

The prompt use of the military to outnumber and oveiawe the disturbers prevented a calra-Ity." Mr. Mitchell contended there was "no difference of opinion" about the necessity for calling out Federal troops as a preventive for further disorder ana woodshed. After the troops arrived, he asserted, there were no serious injuries to any one except the cut ear of a bonus marcher and stone bruises suffered by soldiers. "The published reports that an infant child of a bonus marcher named Myers died as a result of tear gas are false," said the report. "The records at the Gallinger Hospital show that the child died of intestinal trouble contracted and diagnosed before the riot.

There is no evidence whatever that any women or children were Injured or ill-treated." No Orders to Burn Camps' The troops had no orders to burn the camps, It was asserted, and the cause of the fires which did follow jvacuatlon "is not known," although soldiers may have helped to burn up "the remainder of the debris." The report devoted much space to the assertions of Communist activity. It declared the Communist central organ, the Daily Worker, urged delegations to go to Washington. It named among the Communist leaders who were here Emanuel Levin. John T. Pace, James W.

Ford, Clair Cowan, and Sylvester McKlnney. It declared that while the bonus marchers were in Washington, Communist u.eetings were held frequently. "The files of this department," the report said, "contain voluminous reports of these meetings, at many of which incendiary speeches and plans to stir the bonus army to violence and bloodshed were made. During the various disorders, Including the final riot, persons iden tified as radicals and Communists were observed among the disturb ers. There is irrefutable proof that a very large body of Communists and radicals, some ex-iervice men and some not, were in the city as part of the bonus army, circulating among them and working dlligentlv to incite them to disorder.

"Observe how the report was timed to appear Monday morning 1 at the same time the Legionaires i convention opens in Portland. It 1 Is politics pure and simple. "The Administration does not dare let the veterans censure Hoover at this time, so Attorney General QUICK AS LIGHTNING! To BJLFJBlast Continued from Page 1 had begun to forget what took place in wasnington." R.

B. Ellison, who said he was national organizer of the Khaki Shirts of America, and former contact officer of the bonus army, termed the Mitchell report "a po litical alibi." He said: "Last Desperate Bid' "One is first struck by the fact that its release to the press and the public is timed to coincide with the opening of the National Con ventlon of the American Legion, where President Hoover and his henchmen must make their last desperate bid to regain the self-respect of the ex-servicemen of the country." While the army contained "a very considerable number" of genuine war veterans, of good Intentions and clean records, the Attorney General said, there was definite proof that of the 4,723 who applied for trans portation home 1.069 had police rec ords and 829 of these had been con victed: that out of the first 3.656 named on the roster of the B. E. 877 could not be identified as ex service men. and that known Communists not only promoted the march on Washington but sought to Incite the marchers to disorder.

In a short statement making pub lie the Attorney General's report, President Hoover declared the findings would "correct many misstatements" but "should not be taken to reflect upon the many thousands of honest, law-abiding men who came to Washing ton with full right of presentation of their views to the Congress." Briefly summarized, the Attorney General's review of the dramatic career of the bonus army recounted: Leaders, Convicts and Reds' "The first contingents to reach Washington included groups lea by ex-convicts and Communists. Representatives of the better element arrived later, but most of them went away again when Congress ad journed. "Those remaining degenerated into a mob, insulting and levying tribute upon Washington residents and liv ing under filthy condition on Gov ernment property they had occupied without permission." Finally, on July 23, the Attorney General continued, police sent to clear the occupied area were twice attacked with bricks and rocks. Two bonus men were shot by police who had set upon and were in dan ger of their lives." The police officials notified the Federal Government the situation was out of hand, troops were ordered out, and with the use of practically no weapons except tear gas" the area was cleared. 'This experience demonstrates," said Attorney General Mitchell report, "that it is Intolerable that or ganized bodies of men having a grievance or demand upon the Gov ernment should be allowed to en camp In the city and attempt to live few weeks later and did not return to the United States until last June.

At least 35 State delegations have come instructed to demand Federal cash for the ex-soldiers and sentiment was crystallized at a recon vention caucus of bonus proponents led by Representative Wright Pat-man of Texas last night. One member of President Hoover's official family. Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley, Is attending the convention, but he announced he had not been Invited to make an address. He declined to say whether he would speak If Invited to do so.

Hanford Macnider, who recently resigned as United States Minister to Canada and who also Is a former national commander of the Legion, cam: here as a member of the Iowa delegation, but was forced to leave for home because of the illness of one of his children. Calls Rumors Unfounded Macnider declared unfounded rumors he and hurley had been dis patched by the Administration to combat bonus sentiment. He said he expected the Legion to oe "sens: but added that "some State departments are coming here with resolutions of approximately 12 words, which, If adopted, would ruin the finances of the country." Speeches by distinguished guests, Including Josephus Daniels, wartime Secretary of the Navy; greetings from State and city dignitaries and the annual report of Henry L. Stevens national commader, were to take up most of the first day's program. A memorial service, conducted by the Rev.

H. A. Darche, national chaplain, was listed for the morning session. The national commander's dinner will be held tonight. On Tuesday drill teams, outfitted In natty multi-colored uniforms and marching like machines; bugle and drum corps, department units with thousands of Legionaires in line, end floats and bands, will swarm through downtown streets, rain or shine.

busier than the main convention are the auxiliaries' meeting and the annual conclave of La So-iete des Quarante Hommes et H'Mt Chevaux (Forty and Eight), the Legion's fun-making organization. The Forty and Eight will have its parade tonight and the organization's official program was to begin this afternoon. Lobbies of downtown hotels were denuded of rugs and movable furniture, except plain board tables, and the more durable varieties of chair3 Laundry bags underwent major operations, rendering them unfit for holding water. At the 1931 convention in Detroit laundry bas filled with water were dropped from v.fi parade and pillows were slit open to waft their feathery iasides over the parading thousands.

At the same time Stevens requested department commanders to instruct their groups that heckling would be frowned upon and he voiced the hope that "distinguished guests," whom he did not name, would avoid controversial subjects. Mrs. Clare H. Tollner of 648 E. 19th St.

Three Men Detained Three men are being detained in connection with the shooting of Goldberg.

One of them, Abe Relis, who has a long police record and was released from custody only last Thursday, was arrested near the scene of the slaying as he was feigning Intoxication. The others who are being questioned by detectives of the Miller Ave. station are Jack Markowitz, 25, of 699 Sheffield and Walter Sage, 28, of 193 Sheffield Ave. Goldberg was shot from behind, four bullets entering the back of his head and shoulders. Persons living in tenement houses near the scene told the police they heard no shooting.

In view of the fact that the elevated section of the I. R. T. New Lots Ave. subway line runs through Livonia Ave.

Masseria, the police claim, was a grape racketeer and a leading figure In Union Sicllone, a Sicilian secret society.

He was lured from a card game In a Coney Island restaurant, operated by Scarpatl on April 15. 1931, and killed. Scarpatl was questioned by the police following this slaying, but was able to prove to their satisfaction that he knew nothing of it. However, he fled the country a I I szrr.
