Legion Sets A Rigid Rule On Procedure
At Omaha the seventh annual national convention of the American Legion opened amid debate over Colonel Mitchell and his charges of navy inefficiency. The national legislation committee ruled that only issues directly affecting ex service men may be considered, likely barring Mitchell's broader demands. Possible contenders for national commander include Frank Warner of Norfolk and Colonel Mitchell may seek attendance despite army department requests for him to stay away. The auxiliary contest features Mrs. Donald MacRae of Council Bluffs and Mrs. Eugene Fenlon of Devils Lake as leading candidates for national president.
