2 Capital Journal, Salem, Legion Praised By Paul McNutt IndianapoIl, Ind., Aug. 21 W The American Legion s new national headquarters building wa dedicated yesterday with praise from former Legion com mander, Paul V. McNutt, for the Legion's stand on prepared ness. McNutt, war manpower com missioner during world war H, described the Legion as "for 30 years ... a voice crying in the wilderness." As flags of the United States and United Nations waved above he told an outdoor audience: "Americans love freedom with such a passion that they instinctively resect any move which smacks of regimentation. "If I am any judge of their temper at the moment It would seem that after mature consid eration rather than emotional judgment, they are ready to sub mit themselves to such controls as are necessary during, but only during, the period of national danger." "McNutt restated the Legion's advocacy of universal military training and mobilization of all resources. He continued: "All freedom-loving nations and peoples look to us. We are ready to support and befriend our allies and to cooperate with movements designed to Isolate totalitarianism and tryanny." The $2,500,000 structure, built by the state of Indiana, was pre sented by Governor Schrlcker to George N. Craig of Brazil, Ind., region national commander. 2 More Reserve Men Called Two more Air Force enlisted reserve men from Salem have re ported to the Portland personnel processing center for active duty with that branch of the armed forces.

"On top of that there is a need for 1500 bean pickers in the Stayton area and 1500 more in beans and hops in the north and east portions of the county. High temperatures during the day and warm nights have brought the hops into maturity much faster than had been an ticipated. Then, too, the beans keep right on growing.
