to'an impulse familiar to many
motorists.

McCarthy said he was not certain
but he believed Meyers wanted
the $50,000 as a “down payment”

amount to finance the bond pur

Both Meyers and his pretty wife

As McCarthy arose to take the

Mrs. Meyers from her chair. He
halted and helped her back into the
seat, blushing furiously.

Democratic Club
LA CRESCENTA, Calif. (/?»> —
The sheriff’s office received a re
port that about 29 men, wearing
American Legion caps, marched
into a home where a Democratic
club was holding a meeting Fri
day night and told the members of
the club to disband the gathering
and leave.
Sheriff’s sergeant K. A. Risbrid
ger said deputies went to the home
of Hugh Hardyman, the'dub host,
in response to a disturbance call
and upon arrival saw several men
on the lawn with Legion caps. No
arrests were made.
Sheriff’s officers said Hardyman
gave the following story of the oc
currence:
The Crescenta-Canada Demo
cratic club was holding a meeting. •
The estimated 20 men with caps
marched in4o his living room and
mingled with the 35 to 40 club
members. Two of the intruders
took photographs of those present.
A spokesman for the uninvited
guests said: “Members of the Pro

But navy officials asked the

But the speaker continued by
introducing his fellows as veterans
of World War I and II, saying
they were members of the Amer

Hardyman said the spokesman
added he had learned of other
meetings of the club, told them to
disband and “tahnk God you live j
in the United States" and declared
that this was a final warning. The
group wearing caps then left.
