Legion To Press For Law Backing Veteran Loans
Oklahoma City American Legion plans a 1940s style push for state backing of a 100 million dollar veteran farm and home loan bond program. They seek 1.184 million for the Veterans Department and Accrediting Agency, 969 thousand for Sulphur State Hospital, 475 thousand for Ardmore Veterans Home, and 500 thousand to repair Central State Hospital ward. They urge placing the ward under the War Veterans Commission to access federal aid, and call for new building at Central State to aid veterans in mental hospitals.
