Legion Vote Demands Immediate Cash for Veteran Certificates
At the Miami convention the American Legion backed the immediate cash payment at face value of adjusted service certificates, with interest cancelled and any accrued interest refunded. The measure passed 987 to 185 despite boos from some state delegations. Congressman Wright Patman led the push, arguing veterans have borrowed up to 50 percent of their certificates and need relief to aid recovery from the economic crisis. Arizona and New York delegations voiced opposition, warning of inflation and effects on disabled veterans.
