AMERICAN LYNCHINGS
FORMER PRESIDENT’S VIEWS GOVERNOR’S ACTION CONDEMNED SAN FRANCISCO, November 30. (Received Dec. 1, at 8 p.m.) Mr Hoover entered the lynching controversy with a shhrp, indirect exchange between himself and Governor Rolph. Yesterday the former President signed a joint statement with a number of educationists and civic leaders at his home in Palo Alto condemning Governor Rolph’s stand. To-day the governor said: “ I deplore the use of troops against our people. Look at the mess we got into when the troops were called out in Washington against the bonus marchers.” This has reference to Mr Hoover’s eviction of veterans in the summer of 1932 and drew a sharp counter statement from Mr Hoover accusing Governor Rolph of “ gross ignorance of the facts,” and pointing out that none were shot or otherwise injured. The calling out of troops in Washington was done to prevent further bloodshed.
