that “several hundred other bonus
marchers" were awaiting the gov-
ernor's decision in a patk outside

Donnelly told the bonus march-
ers that h? was not eppo'ed to c
Ftate bonus However he recom-
mended that the former servicemen
abandon their plan for the prevent
and consult with their state sena-
tors and representatives
“That’s the democratic way of
jovei nment” be added
“After all that's what you men
fought for
“The g- vemment of Missouri and
the government of the United
State are not based on threat or
intimidation"
He held up a newspaper clipping
in which the leaders of the march
were alleged to have declared they
would g:t the bonus or else ami
that the governor had better be in
own “or well gi after him”

the bonus marchers from his horn
corner of the state they broke into
loud boos and hisses
Owen jumped to the platf rm
He said he was “disappointed" by
the governor’s remarks
“If we haven't presented this in
an ordeily manner I’ll walk all
the wav to Springfield”

3rerelon Charges
TOKYO (UP) — Gen Douglas
MacArthur today formally denied
a charge of Lieut Gen Lewis Bre-
ton that he had refused to gran
permission to Rivreton to bomb
F rmosa thus allowing he Ameri-
can fixing fortress forces in tile
Philippines to tie caught in the
“Little read Harbor” at Clink
Field Dec S 1011
MncAi thuds statement on th-
con roversy over the fate of tho
flying fortresses in the Philippines
was made in reply to a statement
by Brereton in hist war reminiscen-
ces that permission to carry out
an attack t n Formosa on the morn
ing of Deo 8 (Pearl Harbor date in
the Philippines) was not forthcom-
ing from MacArthur or his chief
of staff Lieut Gen Richard K
Sutherland
MacArthur charged that Brere-
ton then air commander in the
Philippines “never recommended
an attack on Formosa to me and
I kn' w no such recommendation
had been made”
MacArthur asserted that his
fiist knowledge of the proposal to
bomb Formosa “was contained in
yesterday’s pres release”
“It must have been of the most
nebulous and superficial charac-
ter” MacArthur charged “as no
official record exists of it in my
headquarters”
He said that “such a proposal
if intended seriously should cer-
tainly have been made to me in
person by him’
MaeAithur said that he had or-
dered Crereton several days be-
fore the Japanese attack to with-
draw his heavy bombers from
Clark F ield t' Mindanao in order
to get them out of range of the
Japanese and that half the bomb-
ers 1 in all had been sent to 'Min-
danao when tho war started
“General Iirereton was fully al-
erted the morning of December 8”
MacArtiiur said “and his fight ?rs
tok to the air to protect Clark
Fie’d hut failed ti intercept the
enemy”

here the stout Buffaloe line became
a stane wall and the Savages failed

On the f urth down however

heart failure as a Savagj dropped
a pass in the end zone
