to alive.
The aiFfriorlties see what feeding
, them will lead to and officially cut off
: their rations several days ago but suf
ficient quantities of foodstuffs to meet
! requirements continue to materialize
| from some source or other —the truth
i being that the authorities still under
; bandedly furnish them fearing viol
ence otiherwisee.
The result is that the bonus forces
grow daily.
Their leaders say they will muster
150.600 veterans in and around th
city within three months, and it seems
Hkely.
Nor is that the worst of it.
The country’s miscellaneous unem
ployed. according to latest accounts,
are beginning to trend capita lward
from alt points of the compass. One
hundred and fifty thousand exservice
men would present an appalling prob
lem. but the unemployed In general
count into the millions. Moreover,
mang of the recently-arrived march
ers are accompanied by their wives
and children. .
Is rt, any wonder that the District
of Columbia commissioners have
broadcast an appea Uo the governors
of the 48 states sto keep their desti
tute at home? -hut the governors
have been appealed fro before, ana
Lheic yol response has been- to pass
the touriste on toward WashiQgtoo.
After all, they appear to think, the
emergency is national and ought to
be dealt with by the. federal govern
ment.
The veterans are giving new
comers, whether ex-service men or not
i cordial welcome.
As Tom Kelly of Camden, (N. J.),
the bonus crusaders' vice commander
expresses it, “We are the champions
of the common people"—not the ex- 1
service men alone, but all of the
'common people.”
A similar note was bounded by
Father James R. Cox of Pittsburgh,
who journeyed by plan e to Washing
ton to address the veterans. "Who
he queried, "owns this land of ours
—Herbert Hoover. Incorporated, or the
'common people’?”
Nevertheless, there is no denying
t'h e District of Columbia commission
ers’ anguished wail that the sum
mer’s outlook is terrifying.
A great majority (abotrt 5.000) of the
bonusseekers now her e are camped on
the municipal dump at the mouth of
the east branch rs the Potomac river
It is not a pretty spot but i is a con
siderable expense of open space, and
i is rich in deposits of discarded pack
ing cases, sheets of rusty tin, old bar
rel hoops and similar junk, which
does good service in the construction
of shelters —and old fruit and vege
table cans, which make good dishes.
The objection raised by District
Health Officer William C. Fowler to
the site (and he raises it with extra
ordinary vehemence) is its complete
lack of sanitation.
Its watr supply too. is Inadequate,
being limited to the flow ffrom two
fir© hos e nozzles, which so hope
lessly fail to meet the demands made
on the mby a community of 5.000 that
moat bathing and dish washing have
to be don e in the East Branch,, de
scribed by Dr. Fowler as an “open
sewer.” w
Deed Filed. —One deed was filed in
the office of register of deeds yester
day that being the sale of a house and
lot on the corner of Chestnut and a
new street, by W. S. Corbitt to R. J.
Corbitt, for 51000 and considerations,
ProgTeee is alow because it is the
work of djearners.

And Convention Dele>
gates To Be Named

election of delegates to the State con
vention in Asheville next month will
be matters of business before the

erican Legion next Monday evening.,
This is the regular monthly meeting

SENATORIAL DRIVE
ADDING MOMENTUM
(Continued from Page One.)
Democratic Convention was in session
the hotel corridors leading to the Mor
rison offices were packed and jam
med and it is estimated that Senator
Morrison made personal contact with
fully 1,000 of those who wehe here
at the convention and that the pledges
of support given him from all sec
tions of the State were decidedly en
couraging.
Senator Morrison is in Charlotte to
day and will return to Washington
tonight In.- a stay of several days. He
is expected to return to his head
quarters here for a day or two about
the middle of next week, providing
his duties in Washington permit it.
In the meantime. Colonel Scott and
his assistants here plan to go ahead
with their task of building up a strong
local organization for Morrison in
every county of the State. Many of
these county unit 3 have already been
completed and are at work, Colonel
Scott reports.
Reynolds has also oeen unusually
active during the past few days, de
spite the fact that his headquarters
organization here has not yet been,
perfected and probably will not be
ready to get down to business until
Monday, when he expects to transfer
all of his Asheville organization here.
It is also expected that John Bright
HHI. of Wilmington, who has been
selected by Reynolds to head his cam
paign organization, will also arrive
here then to take charge of the head
quarters and become chief engineer of
SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1982
the Reynold scampalgn machine.
So far, the headquarters which Rey
nolds has maintained here has been
largely a skeleton affair with first
one and then another In charge and
with very little outside work being
done, although Reynolds has beer,
here almost constantly for the pas<
three days. He did so much hand
shaking while the State convention
was in session here Thursday thai
his right hand became blistered and
required some medical attention yes
terday. He expects to have it bacV
in shape for additional shaking pur
poses by tomorrow, he said today.

Salvation Army Commander, There.
Formerly of This City, Left
Note to Hta Wife
Captain John Hall, corps commind
?r of the Salvation Army in Rocky
Mouwt, and formerly commander of

nysteriously missing from his home in
that city. The Rocky Mount Tele

“The whereabouts of Captain John

it a late hour today. Mrs. Hall said
iht did not know why Gilks had not

Hall left in his automobile without

had gone, Mrs. Hall said.
“The letter, she told reporters, mere
ly stated he was leaving town and
made no mention of where he could
be found. It said he would let b* r
