LEGION MEN
INQUIRE INTO
NAVY YARD
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 19. Charg
es that the Puget Sound Navy Yard
at Bremerton, Wash!, is a hot bed of
radicalism are being investigated by
national headquarters of the Ameri
can Legion, according to information
received by officials of the Washing
ton department of the ex-service
men's organization.
The investigation started following
a report by Robert A. La Roux, Legion
national field organizer, who visited
the Puget Sound yard after Washing
ton Legionnaires alleged that practic
ally all the navy yard foreman are
Reds and that they were discriminat
ing against ex-service men in order
to hire members of the communistic
party.
"Of thirty-seven men who were dis
charged recently at Bremerton, thirty-
five were veterans of the world war."
Mr. La Roux stated. "It seems that
the red foreman are hiring only men
who are known to be radicals."
Lemuel Bolles, Legion national ad
jutant, proposes to ask for an in
vestigation by the Naval Affairs com
mittee of congress if the Legion probe
bears out the contentions of the
Washington Legionaires.

SANDY, Feb. 23. Attillio Narcissus
Creghino, Italian soldier, arrived at
Sandy recently with a dream of be
coming Americanized and practicing
his profession as special art-decorator.
He is now staying with Mr. and Mrs.
Pizzola and going to the Sandy-ridgtj
public school: Young Cereghino waa
"Comando de Brigado" one year in
the world war, then served two years
in the trenches on the Macedonian
front, being in continuous action all
that time. The same position waa
held at an altitude of 3,500 feet, all
supplies being packed up the moun
tainside at night, as the two armies
were facing each other, and only
thirty-five yards apart and "every
move meant a rifle soht." Going out
into no-man's land was a common
event for this young soldier, who was
sent to explore at least fifty times,
but always in the night, "so intent
were we in expecting, an attack from
the enemy at any moment during all
that time. But I was lucky," continued
Cereghino, "and did not receive a
scratch in my three year's service
though in the midst of bombs, rifle
shots and hand grenades time after
time. One night I threw thirty-five
cases of torpedoes (tubes - of high
power explosives), and fighting by my
side were artists of all professions."
When, the armistice was sgined
Gen. Mobelli and his 65,000 men had
routed the enemy out of the trenches
and had them on the run as far as
Prilep, Macedonia. It was at Prilep
that Cereghino had his first serious
lllneEs. After leaving I the hospital
there he went to Genoa to see his par
ents, then sailed for Peru where he
worked in a store for twenty dollars
per month although Peruvians receive
' waiges about equal to those paid in
the U. S. .they do not consider the
' "foreigner worthy so much."
Asked what he thought of "jazz",
this young man of twenty-four years
replied, "It is the scandal of the art".
To discuss all the grand operas is as
easy for him as; for the farmer to
talk about raising potatoes! But the
Italian is born, in an atmosphere ot
music, and art, and where our young
folks whistle and sing jazz, the chil
dren over there hum the classics.
