Yesterday the former president signed' a j'oint 'statement with a number >of educationalists and civic leaders at'hi^'home, Talo Alto, coridemning Mf. Rolph's stand in support of the lynching. Governor' Rolph said: "I deplore the use of tro'ops against our peopld: Look at the mess • we' got'- into when the troops were called oUt -in Washington agaihst the bonus marchers." This has reference of Mr. Hoover's eviction o'f the war vetetans in the summer of 19 32. 5 This comment drew a shatp- cbUnter statement from Mf. Hoover accusing Mr. Rolph of "gross ignorance of the f acts" and pointing out that none were-shot or'Otherwisb injured. The calling out o'f the troops in Washington had been done to prevent further bloodshed.
