The Roxy-Sup radio fund, created to provide radio sets to hospitalized World War I veterans, has been handed to the American Legion at its Indianapolis headquarters. Initiated by S. L. Rothan kel, the fund has raised about 80,000 dollars and aims to endow a permanent program so every veteran in a hospital can receive a radio.

Tyndall among others, and the American Legion Weekly to play a major role in oversight.
