BUND MARKS TIME
AFTEBFIS7FCKTS
Police Halt Free-for-All
- Started by Veterans in
Buffalo.
Br th* Associated Press.
BUFFALO. N. Y„ Feb. 14.—An or
ganization campaign of the German
American Bund marked time today,
at least temporarily stalemated by
the flying flats of American war vet
erans.
A 15-minute free-for-all that grew
aut of disputes with speakers broke
up a bund rally last night. Nearly a
score of police were called to quell the
disturbance.
G. Wilhelm Kunze, representative
eif the bund's national headquarters,
said he had "no immediate plans" for
continuing his speaking tour of New
York State. He had encountered
American veteran opposition last
Thursday in Syracuse, where a battle
of words followed his speech, and the
following day in Rochester, where a
hotel canceled a reservation for the
meeting.
Kegret Expressed.
An expression of regret for last
night's disturbance came from George
A. Mead. Erie County American Le
gion commander.
“We came to listen quietly and to
ask questions we thought were neces
sary,'1 he said. “It is the American
way to give a man a chance to speak.
The outburst that broke up the meet
ing was deplorable."
The meeting attracted 700 listeners
and by arrangement with bund of
ficials. representatives of Buffalo's war
veterans were on hand to ask Mr.
Kunze questions after his speech.
Several hundred other members of
service organizations also crowded into
the hall, their piped organization caps
mingling with the brown shirts and
Sam Browne belts of bund adherents.
Heckling began almost as soon as the
meeting opened. A bund spokesman,
flanked by standard bearers holding
an American flag and a swastika em
blem, was Interrupted as he prepared
to introduce Mr. Kunze.
“Take down that swastika 1” veterans
shouted.
as men in the rear of the hall
crowded forward, police rushed in to
close the aisles, and Mr. Mead pleaded
With the veterans to be quiet.
Mr. Kunze spoke against a steady
patter of heckling remarks, explain
ing the bund “is organized to fight
subversive influences in the United
States,” is not a Nazi organization,
and "we the German element of the
United States would be the last group
in the world to try to overthrow the
Government.”
Cry of "Coward.”
When Mr. Kunze yielded for ques
tions, former Assemblyman Frederick
Hammer, who said he was not speaking
for any particular group, asserted:
"My grandfather left Germany be
cause he couldn’t stand the military
regimentation.”
“Coward!” came a cry from the
audience.
As Mr. Hammer challenged the
speaker to “settle it outside," fist fights
flared throughout the hall.
, Mr. Kunze was escorted from the
speaker's platform by police, although
he protested at leaving.
The bluecoats broke up flght after
fight, throwing participants down a
stairway exit in the building, and re
atored order after a quarter hour.

Boy Who Left
Capital School
Bdck at Home
La Mar Cushion, 19, the Oklahoma
City boy who disappeared over a week
ago from Randles School, 1923 N
street N.W., returned to his home
last night after hitchhiking his way
across the country, according to the
Associated Press.
The youth had come to Washington
10 days before his disappearance to
prepare for entrance examinations to
the Naval Academy. He left shortly
after a geometry examination at the
preparatory school, which, he told his
parents, discouraged him.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Med
Cashlon, received their first word from
the boy last Wednesday. He wrote
them from Nashville, Tenn., that he
was all right and urged them “not to
worry.”
Mr. Cashion, a real estate dealer,
was in Tampa, Fla., searching for the
boy when La Mar returned to Okla
homa City.
Bertram Randle, owner of the
school where the boy was studying,
said today that the Naval Academy
appointment would be held open until
he receives further word from the
Cushions. La Mar received his acad
emy appointment from Representative
Gomer Smith of Oklahoma early in
January.

VIOLENCE IS FEARED
BY PECAN SHELLERS
C. I. 0. Requests Rangers Be Sent
to San Antonio in Strike
Disorders.
The Committee for Industrial Or
ganization headquarters here waited
today for news of expected violenoe
in San Antonio, Tex., in connection
with a strike there of 5.000 pecan
shellers who are members of the
United Cannery. Agricultural, Pack
ing and Allied Workers of America, a
C. I. O. affiliate.
The C. I. O. requested Oov. Allred
of Texas to send rangers to protect
the strikers. Word came this morn
ing that the Governor and Lt. Gov.
Woodul, as well as members of the
State Industrial Commission, have ar
I rived in San Antonio to investigate.
The C. I. O. here acted when it was
told of the death of a 5-month-old
child from a tear gas bomb allegedly
thrown by a policeman. Strike lead
ers said they feared another clash
with police today. The police have
denied that the child's death was
caused by tear gas.
Most of the 65 Mexican pecan shell
ers arrested during the-strike have
been released by police at the inter
cession of the State Department, the
Mexican Embassy announced.
According to the C. I. O., the strike
was called when employers threatened
a 20 per cent cut in the shellers'
wages, now ranging from $1.45 to
$2.02 a week.
