Real business scheduled for Legion session
Indications are that Hamilton MacNider of Iowa will be elected the new national commander. The second day’s session at Convention Hall in Cleveland opened with the appointment of David J. McCoy as sergeant at arms and calls for state aides. The sub committee on un American propaganda met, and debate was limited to five minutes per speaker. The resolutions report will stay neutral on politics or labor. Military affairs backed family allowances for married service members and pledged National Guard aid, while recommending repeal of Article 119 of war.
