Legion Urges Death for Subversives at New York Legion Convention

Other proposals included legalizing bingo for non profits, repealing blue laws, and requiring oaths for civic and student bodies. The three day event opened with 1,500 delegates from 262,000 Legionnaires and a parade down Eighth Avenue led by Mayor Impellitteri.
