Tho attitude oT'the New Y6rk con

leaders as indicative of sentiment
thot may be expected to prevail in
the national convention next month
at Portland. Ore. Both Major Gen

NEW YORK, Allg. 2T OT F. Trubec
Davison, assistant secretary - of war
and Republican gubernatorial aspir
ant, charged before the New York
state convention of the American
Legion in Brooklyn today the dis
charge papers presented by a large
percentage of bonus army members In
Washington were produced by "com
mtinlst-owned diploma mills."
"Nearly all of the real veterans
wont home after congress adjourn
ed." he said. "Less than 3000 re
mained for tho final curtain and
dovotalled In among them was a poly
glot mob of tramps and hoodlums,
plus a generous sprinkling of com
munist agitators from New York and
Philadelphia. I say what I say ad
visedly. I know what 1 am talking
about. I know the facts and have
the proof. -
"Let me tell you Just on thing
that will Interest you something
that has never been told before and
that Is that the army secret service
only last week discovered the source
of the flood of discharge certificates
that flooded Washington during the
bonus army occupation.
"That source was a 'printing press
which teas located In a large eastern
city and It was surrounded by rich
evidenco that It had been used for
printing fake credentials for syn
thetic service men. In other words,
the cdmmanders of the rarlous bonus
camps who Insisted that the veterans
must show their discharge papers
wero hoodwinked by fakers who
brought discredit on the uniform that
you men wore In 1917 and '18."
