Legion Studies Nearly 1 000 New Proposals
Philadelphia August 29 American Legion committees weeded nearly 1000 proposals before the 31st national convention. National Commander Perry Brown urged a funded armed force and 25 percent of federal income directed to defense. Other items include aid for China, a 70 group air force, and shifting atomic energy control to military hands. Senator Hickenlooper backed the atomic proposal.
