Legion Delegates
Hear Reports
From Committees
Miami Beach - IUPD - The
American Legion interprets
its high level briefings on
foreign affairs and national
security today with resolu
tions that will be backed by
2,600,000 former servicemen.
Most of the second day of
the 42nd annual convention
was set aside for reports from
the Legion's standing commit
tees. More than a score of the
nation's top advisers in mili
tary, foreign and domestic af
fairs have made first hand re
ports to the committees. '
And the two presidential
candidates gave all 6,000 con
vention delegates their assess
ments Tuesday of the United
States and its foreign rela
tlons.
Internal Affairs Dispute
The convention also had its
attention on an internal af
fairs dispute with the 40 & 8
Society, the fun-loving branch
of the Legion that was kicked
out of the parent organization
last year because it would
not change its constitutional
requirements that all mem
bers must be of the white race,
The Legion's Internal Af
fairs committee beat down a
move Tuesday to restore the
40 & 8 Society to good stand
ing in the Legion. The com
mittee's action is expected to
be upheld by the full conven
tion but could cause argument
from the floor.
The 90,000-member 40 & 8
will hold Its own convention
on the Miami mainland after
the Legion convention ends
Thursday. Society members,
who also belong to the Legion,
were not permitted to parade
their colorful uniforms, em
blems and "trains" in the an
nual Legion parade Monday.
