HUSHKA MAY GET
ARLINGTON BURIAL
Veteran Slain by Police Is En
titled to Grave in National
Cemetery.
William J. Hushka. Ixjr.us marcher
elain in the clash with police at the
Fourth street and Pennsylvania avenue
billet Thursday, is entitled to burial in
the World War section of the Arlington
National Cemetery with full military
honors.
This Russian emigrant, his record on
file at the War Department reveals,
served his adopted country with an ex
cellent record during the World War
and left the service with an honorable
discharge. He enlisted at Chicago May
31, 1918, and was discharged February
14, 1919, at Camp Funston, Kans.. as a
first-class private in the 41st Infantry.
He did not serve overseas.
Inquest Monday.
While Hushka's body lay on a slab
at the District Morgue, awaiting the
inquest Monday morning, plans for his
funeral were undecided this morning.
Some decision will be arrived at later
in the day, it was stated at Bonus Ex
peditionary Force headquarters. There
is considerable sentiment for taking
full advantage of Hushka's status as an
honorably discharged World War vet
em and burying him with his old
"buddies" in the national cemetery.
However, a dispatch from Chicago
said his divorced wife had asked .that
the body be sent there.
Hushka is entitled to the regula
tion grave, gravestone and inscription
provided by the War Department at
Arlington. Under present regulations
very little deviation from the standard
is permitted for anybody. On the stone
is engraved the naine, organization ana
State of the veteran, together with a
cross at the top if he was a Christian
or other appropriate symbol if he
belonged to some other religious faith.
The long Interval between the Win
ter day in 1919 when Hushka walked
out of Camp Funston, a youth of 22,
and his fall from a policeman's bullet
on the Washington brick-pile remains
a blank. Deputy Coroner A. Magruder
Mac Don aid announced today that the ι
Inquest will be held at 11:30 a.m. Mon
day. ,
His Death Investigated.
Investigation of Hushka's death, at
the hands of Policeman George
Schinault, is being carried on by the
police homicide squad under command
of Sergt. H. K. Wilson, but police are
withholding any evidence that might
have been turned up bearing on the
bonus marcher's death pending the In
quest.
Statements cn the circumstances sur
rounding the shootirg have been made
by both Schinault, who reported the
shooting to his superintendent, Gen.
Glassford, a few minutes after it oc
curred, and by Gen. Glassford, who
witnessed it. Both are expected to ap
pear at the inquest.
DIVORCEE ASKS BODY.
Former Wife of Hushka Telegraphs
Washington.
CHICAGO, July 30 (j?3).—The divorced
wife of William Hushka, Chicago war
veteran slain in the Washington bonus
riot, yesterday said she hoped there
would be a "massive parade at the
funeral as a protest agamst the treat
ment of the veterans."
The woman, Mrs. Prances Krwenko,
telegraphed Washington authorities
asking that Hushka's oody be sent here {
for burial.
"William was one of the first to
volunteer for his country," the divorced
wife said. "The country retaliates by
«hooting and killing him."
LOYALTY LEAGUE HEAD

ization Congratulates President
in Ousting- Β. Ε. P.
By the Associated Press.
PORTSMOUTH, Ν. H., July 30 —
Porter Adams, chairman of the newly
organized Veterans' Loyalty League, last
night said he had sçnt a telegram to
President Hoover congratulating him
on his "courageous action" in connec
tion with the bonus trouble in Wash
ington.
Adams, a World War veteran and a
lieutenant commander in the Naval
Reserve, made public the following tele
gram:
"Both personally and as chairman of
the Veterans' Loyalty League, now or
ganized with the support and member
snip of veterans all over the country for
the purpose of supporting the Govern
ment, conserving public funds and com
bating selfish interests, may I con
gratulate you on your courageous action
in meeting a grave national peril and
assure you that you have the whole
hearted support of thousands of vet
erans who still stand for the best in
terest of the whole country and who
are proud to support you as their Com
mander in Chief."
More herrings were caught near Nor-1

reason.

EDITORIAL VIEWS j
OF Β. Ε. F. EVICTION
Comment From Typical Pub-'
lications Regarding Use of
Troops Is Summarized.
The following is editorial comment
on the Β. E. P. as summarized by the
Associated Press :
St. Louis. Globe - Democrat: "No
other course was possible for the Gov
ernment * * * to retain lis Eeli-respect."
Baltimore Sun: "A handful of for
lorn men * » · were the 'insurrection
ists' who were to endanger the Nation.
What bosh!"
Philadelphia Record: "An explana
tion whi:h really explains * * * Is a
lack of human sympathy on the pari
of the President."
Chicago Tribune: "Responsibility for
the B. E. F. and its doings lies chiefly
at the door of men in public life who
encouraged the making of unreason
able demanc's."
Chicago Herald and Examiner: ' For
sheer stupidity President Hoover's spec
tacular employment of the military In
evicting a mere handful of World War
derelicts is without parallel in Ameri
can annals."
Lincoln Nebr., Star: "The natural
fruit of a deliberate, long-continued
policy of politi-al expediencv in which
neither political partv is guiltless."
Sacramento. Calif., Vnion: "Any
blame * » · attaches to Congressmen
who led the men to believe their de
mands might be achieved by concerted
action. *
Lewiston, Me., Sun: "All the wrong
done by the bonus seekers is petty in
deed compared with the wrong in
flicted * * * by President Hoover and
the Democratic-Republican Congress."
Brownsville, Tex.. Herald: "Congress
men such as Wright Patman ot Texas
* * * should shudder as they realize
a human life has been placed on the
altar of their political ambitions."
Jacksonville, Fla., Journal: "Whether
official Washington handled the situa
tion with the best of tact is debatable."
Toledo, Ohio, News-Bee: "There can
be no victor in the clash. All are losers.
Basically the blame rests with vote
seeking politicians."
Portland. Me., Press-Herald: "If there
is any criticism * * * it is that measures
of the kind used on Thursday were not
employed sooner."
unio siaie journal (tuiumousi;
"President Hoover chose the course
that Lincoln chose, that Presidents
have always chosen."
St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "The con
stituted authorities must always be the
judges of how serious the threat of
disorder Is. We can only trust that
they were not mistaken."
Omaha, Nebr., World-Herald : "The
leaders who fomented the march have
much to answer for."
Toledo Blade—"Some (of the natlonr.
of the world) will say this new trouble
is one of many we acquired by getting
into a war that was not any of oui
business."
Augusta, Me., Kennebec Journal—
"Some are now blaming the President
for not sooner ordering the troops to
clean out the obstinate squatters. As
a matter of fact, he acted promptly
when the local authorities at the Na
tional Capital became unable to deal
effectively with the situation. He did
that which It was his official duty to
do—no more, no less."
Dallas Morning News—"When a
horde of hungry and penniless men are
set down in a city where government
has no authority to care for them and
private means cannot, disorder Is in
evitable. * * · Comdr. Waters admits
that his men got beyond control. Only
force could control them. It had to
be used."
Boston Post—"When President Hoo
ver declares that radical elements in
the bonus army had engaged in a cam
paign leading to possible violence
against the constituted authority of the
Nation his word must be accepted. The
further declaration by the Secretary of
War that fully one-third of the bonus
veterans were drawing disability pay
from the Veterans' Bureau shows that
a good number of them could not have
been in actual want. * * * It Is to be
hoped that the worst is over now. The
whole episode is a painful one."
Indianapolis News—"The effect of the
episode will be to warn the country
that the administration will tolerate no
challenge to the full exercise of execu
tive authority, and that any interference
with the freedom of the people and the
rights of property will b? suppressed."
Emporia ( Kans.) Gazette—"The prob
lems of this Nation cannot be solved
by collecting mobs in Washington.
There is no question of the patriotism
or the sincerity of the boys, but they
picked a bad way to urge what was at
best a dubious cause. The country is
relieved to know that there at the helm
of this Nation, in this year of crisis.
Is a hand which has been patient and
which can be firm "
The Salt Lake Telegram—"The march
of the columns on Washington has been
un-American from its first Inception.
It carried behind its apparent passive
ness the implication of force to obtain
its ends. The lack of actual violence
during the session of Congress was the
sole redeeming feature."
The Denver Post—"It is the duty of
the authorities to deal with the matter
as they would deal with any other
movement that challenges and defies
law and order. The agitators who are
keeping the stupid movement alive
should be shut up for a while."
Seattle Times—"After Congress ad
journed. whatever objective the vet
erans might have had In their 'march
to Washington' vanished. Most of them
recognized that fact and left the Na
tional Capital. Those who remained
* * * were a menace to health and
sanitation, and served no purpose other
than to offer vain hopes to the radical
groups that unendingly plot against the
American people and their Govern
Sacramento Bee.—"The responsibility
for the killing of one former soldier and
the wounding of a number of other
nerscns is not on the Government of
the United States, but on those who
first inspired the bonus march on
Washington, filling their dupes with
false hopes of payment of the bonus,
and. secondly, on the radical leadership
that prevailed on the former soldiers
to remain in the Capital after Con
gress had adjourned."
Cheyenne Tribune Leader—"It is re
grettable that loss of life and other
bloodshed resulted, but the ultimate ef-,
feet undoubtedly will be wholesome in I
public opinion throughout the Nation, |
aroused against toleration of such ill
advised movements as the so-called
bonus army's' march upon the Capitol."
Wichita (Kans.) Eagle—"When the
great majority of the young men who
made up the residue of the bonus army
in Washington and who faced, Thurs
day, the power of Government, mili
tarily expressed, have become old men,
every one of them will long have re
alized that resistance to Government,
outside orderly processes, is impossible."
Oakland (Calif.) Tribune—"There
was no other alternative in suppressing
a disgraceful affront to the Govern
ment and it is to be hoped the inci
dent will lead to the speedy termina
tion of a misguided movement."
Detroit Free Press: "Left undistract
ed by outside influences the veterans
would have made no trouble. The
veterans who became victims of red
lies are legitimate objects of sympathy;
the Communists who caused the trouble
should be gathered in and treated
without leniency. Police and soldiers
• · * showed a great deal of patience
* * * and aid the best they knew
how to do."
Daytona Beach News-Journal: "The
march on Washington by the bonus
army was a foolish and a deplorable
thing. It probably wa* organized by
men who were more ignorant of the
significance of what they were doing
than they were out and cut vicious.
"Some Communists may have joined
with them to make trouble. But the
probabilities are the unfortunate battle
grew automatically out of the situation.
"The President was perfectly justified
in calling out troops to preserve order.
It was the only possible action under
the circumstances."
Foreign Comment.
LONDON, July 30 ι A5).—The Man
chester Guardian today characterized
the expulsion of the bonus seekers from
Washington as "an extraordinary un
happy affair."
"But," it added, "in a country where
relief of destitution is not among the
function·: of government it is inevitable
that, the protests of the destitute should
be spectacular."
Calling in the troops, it said. ' was
perhaps the only thing that could bs
done to end an impossible situation,
but there is no evidence 8s yet thit the
demonstrators were getting out of
hand."
BERLIN. July 30 (/P).—The Com
munist Berlin am Morgen spoke today
about "civil war" in Washington.
"This is the way the American father
land shows its gratitude to those who
fought on European battlefields to pro
tect the loans of the allies," the paper
said.
"But President Hoover has other
troubles today than seeing veterans get
the bor.us. for the American economic
prodigy is bankrupt. It is only another
sign that internaticnal capitalism is
bankrupt."
MOSCOW, July 30 OP)—Moscow
newspapers published accounts of the
bonus-seekers riots at Washington
Thursday under headlines revealing
their clear sympathy with the evicted
ex-soldiers.
Pravda. organ of the Communist
party, said:
"The American bourgeoisie shocts the
war veterans, it Is announced. The
White House is spattered with blood.
Barbarous fight at Washington. Gas
and tanks against victims of imperial
istic butchery."
Commenting on the situation edi
torially, the Communist organ said:
"The Government showed its real
face to the veterans in an imperialistic
war. President Hoover carried through
Congress a decision to give the rail
road companies and banks billions of
dollars, but, of course, he did not find
means to cover the debt to the vet
erans.
"It is gold for the capitalists and lead
and gas for the toilers, even if they
were war veterans. These veterans
will become increasingly convinced
that their Interests are the same a*
those of the workers. With the work
ers, they have a common enemy and a !
common way of revolutionary escape ;
from the crisis."

OF BONUS FORCES
Retired Marine General De
nies Accepting Reported Of
fer From W. W. Waters.
By the Associated Press.
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa., July 30.
—Smedley D. Butler, retired Marine
general, last night told the Associated
Press that he had not accepted the
chairmanship of the bonus forces, as
reported by George Brady, one of the
Β. E. F. aides to W. W. Waters, leader
of one faction of the bonus army.
Butler said he did not recall the
name George Brady, but added: "I
know a lot of Bradys."
He explained that when he arrived
at his honie last night from the Capi
tal, he found a telegram, dated Thurs
day and coming from New York, re
questing him to head a Nation-wide
drive for funds for "the boys In Wash
ington" through the sale of stamps by
a house-to-house canvass.
The message was signed with the
name Waters and expressed a belief
that such a campaign would put the
finances of the bonus veterans in Wash
ington on an organized rather than
begging basis.
Gen. Butler pointed out that condi
tions in Washington have altered great
ly since the telegram was sent, and
there now are no longer any "boys in
Washington." He said he had no idea
where he might reach Waters to an
swer the telegram.
