Howland attacked by Patman at Texas Legion convention
Brigadier General C R Howland faced sharp rebuke from Congressman Wright Patman at the Texas American Legion state convention in Wichita Falls. Patman labeled Howland a servant of the Hoover administration after Howland claimed troops were drew from Washington to protect public welfare. The convention elected Carl Nesbit department commander and adopted resolutions supporting veterans rights, localizing a future Southwest veterans hospital to Marfa and backing repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.
