A Sabbatl quiet hung over the government pro vided encampment of 1,200 bonui seekers at Fort Hunt, Virginia, today while the only dash of excitement tc the day's cash payment movement , was provided by a small group o' "irreconcilables," who made a brie and very unsuccessful effort to march on the White House. Twelve men, under the leadershi? of Joseph Salzman of Brooklyn, N. Y. whose die-hard band refused to joi' the comfortable-fed contingent at th' Virginia camp, hoisted flags brought for the purpose and turned towar< the White House from their shelter less city "camp." They got as far as Pennsylvani* Avenue. A squad of bluecoats, led b> Ernest Brown, superintendent of po lice, and augmented by secret service agents, suddenly surrounded them. | The group was placed under techni cal arrest, but, after a round of con versation, the marchers were tump loose aprain and escorted back to thei ' open-air headquarters. "We want to see President Roose velt," Salzman said. "I knew hip. when he was governor. I stood be side him once when he was making p campaign speech." "Convention" On The president, however, was sailing down the Potomac river at the time and the White House itself was vir tually deserted. At Fort Hunt, meanwhile, where f "convention" officially was in prog ress, the guests of the governmen prepared to begin a more active cam paign to insist that congress pay tht adjusted service certificates. About 60 men in all are still en camped in the national capital, mak inpr heated charges that the Fort Hun* leaders are "Communists." The numbers at the Virginia cam were swelled last night by the arriva 'of approximately 160 men under th leadership of Mike Thomas of Cam den, N. J., a camp commander durinp last year's bonus march, who, witf his men, also had declined at first t? go to Fort Hunt on the grounds those there were "largely Communists.'* Thomas and his men capitulated however, when Emanuel Levin an< Harold Hickerson resigned from th committee in charge of Fort Hunt. Both men are self-styled member? of the Communist party., Factions Separated Thomas cohorts were planning t place him in charge of the encamp ment if they could obtain enough votes from those who originally ar rived there. To prevent possibl< trouble, the Thomas group and'th" contingent that first went to the camj were segregated into separate section? with many rows of empty tents be tween them. The committee in charge of the ar | rangements had predicted between 8, j 000 and 9,000 veterans would be ir j tho capital by today, but the camj registration showed only a few mor< than 1,200. After the United States Navy band sent to the encampment to enter tain tho men at the request of th> White House? had furnished a con cert, the bonus seekers today hearc from various speakers the plans fo the next few days. All have agreec' to evacuate the fort by Thursday. Mrs. Virginia Jenckes, Democratb member of the house from Tndiane who was instrumental last night i*' getting Thomas' group to go to th camp, went there again today an< commended the "conservative" ment on its "patriotism and staunch ness."
