Legion Bureau to Be Probed After Meeting
Local dissatisfaction with American Legion workers spurred a move to audit the Legion bureau that ran the recent national convention. The San Antonio post voted unanimously to investigate alleged gambling and concessions tied to a San Antonio businessman while police stood by during the chaotic meeting. The chamber of commerce will seek an audit, and former post commander Henry Lee Taylor said he was denied activity reports before resigning. In Portland harbor a sunken French vessel wreckage was found during seawall construction, yielding oak timbers and relics.
