Illinois Legion Wins Pension Plan for Veterans
Illinois American Legion reports over 300 letters praising its veterans pension victory at the national convention. The plan seeks $60 monthly at age 55 and $75 at 65 for World War I and II veterans, with applications required. Initial cost pegged under two billion dollars. Burns warns aging ex-servicemen need support and predicts a rise in Illinois Legion membership toward a 1949 goal of 300,000.
