in oho fooling that I really know you, although my poroonol toucn

a proper eye. My appeal is only toot John U. Olson; now under in~
dictment in the District oi Columbia, charged with felonious usooult
upon u policeman at the time of the recent "bonus riot" in WasLin;Lon,
be admitted to bail in a sum oossiblo for him to provide fending Lls

they have none, and cannot help provide bond Io: their accused brothe

There is also being transmitted herewith s clipping from the
Detroit News dnted 9-13-32 concerning one Vernon Butler who calls himssli
the state Commander of the B.L.F. I have learned through conversations
had with various members of tho E.L.5. located in bstroit that Butler
isnot popular with them in any respect because it is claimed by the
majority that he is s strong sympsthizsr of locel communists cnd has tee:
accused of turning foodstuffs over to such organisations rather than to
tho B.E.F. for whom it nos originally secured. M2. DeFiLney was strong
is his denunciation against Butler and handed no s clinping
in
he and Butler clashed. I have learned that Butler is stillwhich he had
his pocket concerning n meeting before the loccl Common Council in Th}
: cellar of an old building located on the corner of John H and Lliznhc
st., Detroit, where it is stated that he occasionally secures food and
other suvplies, allegedly for the 3.E.F.
This is being transmitted to the Bureau for its information.

It was considered desirable to procure information as
to the personal history of members of the Bonus Expeditionary
Force, The Police Department was requested to furnish the
names of persons arrested and copies or their fingerprints.
They were able to furnish the fingerprints of but 51 who had
been arrested. These
about the time of the
prints had been taken
of these fingerprints
in the Identification
vwere persons who had been arrested
riots.- Before that time no finger-
shen arrests were made. A comparison
with the police records maintained
Division of the United States Bureau .
of Investigation, resulted in the disclosure that 17 of these
51 individuals, or 35-l/3%, had prior police records, divided
as follows, the name of the offense indicating the charge for
_ which convictedzf
T1:-run 1-n1a-:44-I-mesa;
5 Assaults '
- Sex offenses
Forgery
Robbery
Liquor laws
n Dismissed 'Military offenses
Disorderly and vsgrancy
Felonies unknown!
The fingerprints of these 51 individuals were, likewise,
i. compared with the records in the service branches of the Govern
ment. From this search it was found that 16, or 31.5%, had no
world War service record, and, thus, were not entitled to bonus
, certificates.

for the purpose of returning to their homes. In order to ascertain
the eligibility of applicants for those loans, the Veterans Ad-
ministration required each applicant to fill out a card containing
his name, his Army serial number, service record, names of or-
ganizations in which served, date of service, claim number, if any, e
and the number of his application for adjusted service certificate.
In many cases the cards were not completely executed._ , . t ,, .

With further reference to the s0collod marches on
Washington for the purpose of demonstrations at the time of the convening
of Congress, reports indicate that approximately 440 Hunger March delegates
left Detroit November 23th for Washington via Toledo in ten trucks and thirty-
four automobiles. There was no information that children were accompanying
the oelegateo, and there were a few women, some of whom were colored.
Demonstrations at different cities by persons not actually en

Eiliovei to he inaccurate. For instenco, dispatches from Birmingham Fpeah of
500 hunger marchers "bound for Uashington", whereas it appears that those

With further reference to the so-celled marches on 5
Washington for the nurpcse of oemontrvtions at the time of the convening

left Detroit November 28th for Washington via Toledo in ten trucks and thirty-
four automobiles. There was no information that children were accompanying
the delegates, and there were a few Women, some of WhOm were colored.
Demonstrations at different cities by persons not actually on
TUHLP go Feshinjton here led to some statements in tho nersnsnorn which are
believeé to be inaccurate. for instance, dispatches from Birmingham Speak of
500 hunger marchers "bound for ashington", whereas it appears that those
sotuelly traveling ere considerably less.
About 100 hunger marchers are said to compose the Nov England
roup which is to arrive in New York City today. The number that will join L1H,
group at Nev York Gin; is =sritusly estimated from u few hundred to siX hunortd
and it is probnble tnnt the total number leaving New York City will not exoe@U
EGO.
The Column One group vhicn was supposed tn totel 1300 by the
time it reacho Pittsburgh is believed to total not more than 890. Arrangono.t.
for the housing of only about 200 had been accomplished in Ioungstovn, Ohio, by
November 28th.
Reports from Kansas City indicate that the number actually
treveligg consioerably - than the estimates. The Column Four group is
consider Smaller than = imetos, numbering not more than 50 according to
latest novice. D
Reports from St. Louis indicate that th group expected there
nunbr s less than one hundred.
Estimates as to the number of ex-servicemen agitatin the
