Charter of Dallas Legion Post Banned
The American Legion in Texas canceled the charter of Metropolitan Post 581 in Dallas for undermining the legion and failing to cooperate with Fifth District headquarters. Members may transfer to other posts, with some former Post 53 members deserting to keep control. The post faces a $2,500 damages suit against the state legion as the 38th annual state meeting nears adjournment. John Lee-Joe Smartt Post 53’s members were among those affected. Earl J. Tate and Joe L. Matthews lead contenders for Texas commander, both World War II veterans.
