Norris Reverses Stand on Arming Ships in 1917
Senator George W. Norris, now 80, says he will vote to arm American flag ships. The Nebraska independent, once a leading opponent of arming ships during World War I, recalls filibuster protests with La Follette and a small senator group. He argues today’s threat from Hitler requires a strong U.S. defense.

The decision upholds the association's authority to require bronze markers, citing the cemetery's general plan and operation.
