CHICAGO UP I The American Legion opened its 40th annual convention with an around the clock parade down Michigan Avenue drawing about 50 000 Legionnaires and armed forces members before crowds around 200 000. Four collapsed from exhaustion but the event moved on under clear skies. The parade set the stage for business sessions starting today as policy questions on racial integration and Soviet Sputniks were debated. Indiana sent the largest early delegation, including 18 mounted state police and the “Bolka Tots” of Wayne City. Leaders said the spectacle would last 12 to 15 hours. Gov Orval Faubus of Arkansas arrived to confer with his delegation, but a spokesman said he did not want to be party to anything that might bring segregation into the Legion.
