While scores of veterans here
seeking the bonus were in line
today at the veterans administra

home, police reserves were rushed
to the White House two blocks
away to guard against a demon
stration.
A few minutes later a group of
about SO members of the left wing
of the bonus army was dispers
ed without disorder as they neared
the executive mansion.
Police were uncertain tonight
whether they had stopped a dem
onstration or delayed the noon
day meal of the group. The vet
erans vigorously denied any intent
to picket and insisted they were
merely 'going to sew quarters for
their lunch, . r .
Anyway, most of the gates to
the White House grounds were
shut and those that were not were
heavily guarded for the rest of the
-day. Police announced "There is
to be no demonstration or any
kind within two blocks of the exe
cutive mansion."

"Mr. zero," who was arrested in
connection with a demonstration
in front of the White House Satur
day night, delivered there a pe
tition asking for the reconvening
