WASHINGTON, June 20 (P) Strip ped of an Immediate objective1 by tie- feat of tho bonus-payment bill, lead ers of the vaat veterans army camped here concentrated today on organiz ing ex-service men for election day action, making tentative overtures to the Democratic party.

Last night It voted to query all Democratic presidential possibilities on their views about tho bonus and other veterans' question, at the same time directing letters to all posts of the American Legion and other ex service men's organizations, Inform ing them that an effort "to place a bonus plank In the Republican plat form was laughed down and filed in the waste basket.
