Mitchells Alibi for Hoover on B. E. F. Expulsion
Washington reporting attacks Attorney General Mitchell for his July report on the eviction of the bonus army. The piece argues the Mitchell memo distorts facts, defends ex service men, cites fatalities and police records, and challenges claims of criminality and communism among marchers. It presents eyewitness details of fires on Pennsylvania Avenue, Twelfth Street camps, and the Anacostia raids, contrasting Mitchells statements with local accounts.
