CLEVELAND, Sept. 21 (APj Na
tion a i Commander Ray Murphy called
tha 18th annual convention of tne
American Legion to order today aet-
ting it on a previously charted courac
of universal peace.
The Legionnaires gradually filed
into the empty spaces of the great
public hall, which housed earlier this
summer the conventions or tne iw
publicans, Townsendltea and Cough'
Unite. The balcony filled slowly.
After the Rev, Thomas D. Kennedy,
national chaplain, delivered the In
vocation Gov. Martin L. Davey ol
Ohio gave the first welcoming ad
dress.
Sneer at Service.
Gov. Davey launched an attack on
the Veterans of Puturo Wars, which
was described as an organization of
university students designed "to mako
a mockery of the things you fought
tor."
He drew applause with the remark,
"the Veterans of Future Wars were
organized to sneer at the service ol
the men who risked their all; millions
of men resent that sneer. '
"They express a disrespect for the
thlncs we stood for: perhaps It Is be
cause they were In their cradles and
thev do not understand.
Mayor Harold H. Burton of Cleve
land said Cleveland "was glad to be
tbe first city In the nation to enter
tain this great convention the second
time."
IU3U Ureiit Year.
Responding to the addresses of wel
come U. 8. Senator Bennett 0. Clark,
past national commander, said 1038
probably was "the greatest year In tnc
history -of the American Legion."
"The great climax of this year were
lbs efforts of Commander Murphy for
legislation sponsored by the Leg Inn
to the end that the United States
may keep out of future wars,1 Senator
Clark ssld.
"The next session of congress will
enact legislation for taking the profit
out of war. The American Legion is
not ft military, fascist organisation,
but Is made up of men who have
proved their patriotism and do not
have to prove their devotion to the
constitution of the United States."
