Tha American Leelon drum and i the stunt committee of the Salem Bngle corps and delegates of the I conTention has promised Baker the legton and American Legion j post that the ick will be placed Continued vigilance and cam paigning in the interests of the disabled veterans of the World war, constituted the message which Paul V. McNutt, national commander of the American Le gion, brought to legionnaires of Oregon during his official visit here In April. A serious situation for the men "for whom the war will never end" was created by the failure of congress to pass the bill pro posing an appropriation of $11, 48(f,000 for construction of addi tional hospitals. Commander Mc Nutt said. 5,(0 Vets Need Help Five thousand veterans ailing mentally as a result of their war time service are awaiting hospital ization, and others are in over crowded state Institutions, he de clared. Congress did not find time to consider the hospital legisla tion during the special session, and it will be next December, when the 71st congress meets, be fore any relief can be hoped for. Commander McNutt spoke in a number of Oregon cities. He was accompanied on the trip by Mrs. McNutt and by Mrs. Boyce Ffcck lin, national president of the Am erican Legion auxiliary. During their tour through Oregon. Ben S. Fisher, department commander, and Carl Moser, department adju tant, were members of the party. In Salem April 25, Commander McNutt made only a brief stay. auxiliary leave here Wednesday evening, August 7 at 4:20 for Salem, where they will attend the state convention of the two organ izations. The Baker legionnaires will leave on a special train and will be joined in La Grande by the drum corps, drill team and dele gates of that city. They will arrive in Salem at 10:25 a. m. Thursday, the opening day of the convention. Delegates and alternates are as follows: American Legion dele gates Warren Lemmon. Richard Langrell, Carl Waltz and William C. Kelly; alternates E. P.

ABOUTS10.0DO $30,000 is Underwritten by Salem Men; No Defi cit Expected 25 Newberg Men Coming to Meet -(Special -to the Statesman) NEWBERG. August 5. Twenty-five members of tbe local le gion post are expected to leave for Salem early Thursday morn ing, August 8, to attend the 11th annual state convention to be held at the state capitol. , The delegates to the convention are Dr. J. S. Rankin, Gerald Cow er and Roy Shires while the al ternates are Russell Parker, George Gwinn, James Pucket. The Newberg post is Lester C. Rees Post No. 57 and holds its meetings and social events in a special hall constructed for it sev eral years ago. Newberg had a junior baseball team earlier In the season but it rock has been sent to Salem and has now been disbanded Running a convention takes money. In fact, the Salem conclave will cost the legion post hers fully 110,000 for the outlay necessary to put over the meeting. This does not include the thousands of dollars to be spent by delegates and visitors to the convention who will fill local hotels and homes and restaurants; this is the cost for actual expenses of the conven tion alone. The barbecue to be staged Thursday night at the airport rails for an outlay of $1600 alone; the drum corps competition takes $2000 and other expenses includ ing decoration, publicity, free en tertainment and handling of ar rangements generally raise the bill of costs. Nevertheless, the Salem post Is planning to make the convention pay its way. While Salem busi ness men have underwritten tbe convention for more than 130,000, the post wants to turn in a bal anced budget when the conven tion is through. Incomes from the drum corps competition, the three dances to be staged each night and from the sale of concessions will provide sufficient revenue tq handle all expenses, the finance committee believe.
