Some Birchers Are In Wichita Legion
Carl S Packer commander of Legion Post 144 in Wichita says some members belong to the John Birch Society but Legion eligibility is the sole test. The post protested a World Crisis Day program at the University of Kansas featuring Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and Alexander Fomin, calling it a Communist subversive propagandist event. Post 144 numbers about 38 members. Packer says the post approaches 100. Williams notes many veterans in the post, who publish The Spearhead critical of Kennedy moves but claim nonpartisan intent.
