OFTHEWORLDI
WASHINGTON (UPI) - When
Negro civil rights demonstrators
stage their planned mass rally in
Washington next month, an aging
band of World War I veterans
will be retelling the story of an
other march on the capital and
its tear gas, gunfire and death
climax.
The storytellers will be the
remnants of the soldiers' bonus
march, a Depression-spawned in
cident that rocked President Her
bert Hoover's administration in
the spring and summer of 1932.
Most of the civil rights dem
onstrators will arrive in tho capi
tal by chartered bus and train
on Aug. 28. Their leaders have
promised an orderly "controlled"
rally, in sharp contrast to what
happened in 1932. Authorities
hope that such will be the case.
Most of the bonus marchers
hopped freight trains or hitch
hiked to Washington. At best
their leadership was confused
their march more tragic than
effective,
The well-spring for the so-!
called bonus expeditionary force
was' Portland, Ore. The man
behind it: Walter W. Waters, a
onetime Army sergeant and fac'
lory worker idled by the Great
Depression.
Waters idea was simple! He
and some 300 other former
"Doughboys" would stage a pro-.
test march on the Capitol in
hopes of pressuring Congress into!
approving a bill calling for im
mediate payment of a soldier
bonus.
Congress Approves Bonus
The bonus itself had been an
proved by Congress in 1924. When
the Depression hit, the veterans
had -been allowed to borrow up;
to 50 per cent of what was due
them, but the rest was not pay
able until 1945. The bonus march
crs wanted the money then, but
the Hoover administration was
opposed, believing it nothing
more than a raid on the TroaS'
ury that would further unbalance
the budget.
When Waters band moved out
of Portland in May, 1932. word
of the march began spreading
across the nation. Others were
quick to join. They came in
pairs and in groups of hundreds.
Some brought their wives and,
families. It was a spontaneous
thing with little in the way of an
organized campaign to recruit
marchers. The only real bonds
the men had in common was a
frustration over their inability to
find work, and a belief that they
had a right to a bonus.
Once in Washington, tho men
squatted. They took over empty
buildings along Pennsylvania Ave.
and set up sprawling camps
along the mud flats of the Ana-Lup
costia River. Day by day, more
recruits arrived until their
strength, counting women and
children, reached a high of 20,-
000. .
Conditions in the camps' were
intolerable. Whole families lived
in cars. Huts were built out of
scraps from garbage dumps. One
man lived in a barrel filled with
grass. To make matters worse,
Communist organizers began in
filtrating the camps.
For the most part, Congress
and the administration wanted
the bonus army out of the capi
tal. They rightly feared that it
would touch off riots; that its
cause was a hopeless one.
Stage "Death March"
By July 17, thousands of dem
onstrators were staging a "death
march around the Capitol as!
Congress moved toward adjourn-
ment. An attempt to meet with
the President was rejected, and
Vice President Curtis threat
cned to use force to push the
bonus marchers off Capitol Hill.
Thus the stage was set for trou-l
ble and it came on the morning
of July 28.
At 10 a.m. police ringed
group of empty buildings along
Pennsylvania Ave. under orders
to drive out bonus marchers who
had been using them as squat
ter shacks. A fight broke out.
Police fired into the rioters, kill
ing two of them, and the call
went out for troops.
The troops entered the city

JFK Seeks
New Limit
On Debt
.via
WASHINGTON (UPII The
Kennedy administration soon will
ask Congress to boost the legal
limit on the national debt to a
new record high.
Informants said the administra
tion' would insist that the debt
limit must be set at, or slightly
less than. (315 billion to accom
modate the red-ink spending in
prospect for the fiscal year end
ing next June 30.
Treasury Secretary Douglas
Dillon told Congress in February
the administration might need a
debt ceiling of about 320 billion.
However, tax revenues have im
proved since then as a result of
a pick up in business conditions.
The House Ways & Means Com
mittee will interrupt work o n
President Kennedy's tax - reduc-
tion-and-rcvision program to con
sider the debt limit request at
public hearings starting next
Monday.
A new debt ceiling must be es
tablished next month. The debt
limit now is $309 billion. It is
scheduled to drop to $285 billion
on Sept. 1. Everyone agrees this
cannot be permitted, since the
actual debt will be considerably
higher than that.
The debt now stands at about
from nearby Ft. Mycr, Va. In- $306 billion and is heading higher.
fantry, tanks, and cavalry took The debt is certain to rise in the
stations along Pennsylvania
Ave. under the command of Chief
of Stalf Douglas Mac-Arthur. A
then obscure Col. Dwight D. Ei
senhower was second in command.
The troops moved down Pcnn-i
sylvania Ave., clearing the bonus
marchers out of their shanties.
Some holdouts were burned by
the marchers themselves. Others
were set ablaze by the troops.
As the soldiers kept up the
pressure, they were answeredl
with barrages of rocks and clubs,
Tear gas was fired in return.
Wives and children were caught
in the melee as the soldiers tried
to herd the marchers out of the
area.

Maryland. State officials kept
them moving to the Pennsylvania
stute line and Johnstown, Pa
where they had
sanctuary. :
In Johnstown, the marchers set
up another camp, but their stay
was short-lived.. Disorganized and
breaking up, the remaining band
accepted an offer from the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad for free
transportation that took them
back to tho obscurity from which
they had sprung two months, be-i
ore.
The marchers took no victories
home with them, but four years
later Congress did pass the sol
diers bonus bill.
Washington authorities are hop
ing devoutly that the impending!
Negro demonstration will bring!
no reminders of 1932.

Veteran Actor
Enter Hospital
LOS ANGELES (UPI) Vet
eran actor Spencer Tracy was re
covering today from a "congested
lung condition" suffered Sunday
while Jie and actress Katharine
Hepburn were preparing to go on
a picnic.
The 63-year-old actor who gained
fame with his rugged Irish charm
was first thought to have suffered
a heart attack, but Tracy's phy
sician Dr. Karl Lewis, indicated
Ihc actor had only a minor res
piratory ailment.
"Mr. Tracy suffered a little con
gestion of the lungs and develop,
ed .shortness of breathing," the
physician said at St. Vincent's
Hospital where the silver-haired
actor was taken. "He is recover
ing, improving and feeling fine."
Tracy was taken to the hospital

The debt limit is almost cer
tain to provide another partisan
struggle on the House floor. Ear
lier this year, administration
forces managed by a scant nine
vote margin to win passage over
GOP opposition of the temporary
$309 billion limit.
In an attempt to lessen opposi
tion, Democratic strategists plan
to schedule the new debt limit
bill for House floor action ahead
of the tax cut bill. The argument
will be made that should the
House refuse to set the debt
limit high, enough to accommo
date a tax cut, there will be no
tax reduction.
