Charity Racket Debunked DAV Funding Controversy in New York
Debates over the Disabled American Veterans fundraising scheme question the charity’s efficiency and use of funds. Some claim $21 million raised with $14 million in costs left $7 million for the DAV, while officials argue the services to vets and staffing, offices, and tag production justify expenses. The piece contrasts this debate with Drummond's government prosecutions of communists, arguing for due process over sensational headlines.
