Endowment drive for orphans of veterans urged in Iowa
The American Legion plans a five million dollar endowment to aid World War II orphans and needy veterans, widows, and unfinished government aid. Iowa faces a 225000 dollar share, with local committees and publicity, led by Former Governor Kendall, to raise funds through donations and legion involvement, focusing on per capita and county quotas. It notes 45000 veterans in Iowa, many with dependents, and calls for generous public support to ensure homes and schooling for orphans.
