Colmery, Topeka, Kansas; Daniel J. Doherty, Woburn, Mass.;! Raymond J. Kelly, Detroit, Mich.;| Quimby Melton, Griffin, Ga.; and John Lewis Smith, Washington, D. C. Other' candidates for the job now held by Ray Murphy may be put forward in State Department con-| ventions jyet to be held or from' the flook of the convention hall. All are former commanders of their state departments and all| have held National office or Na-| tional committee posts. They range in age from the 41 of Kelly and the 42 years of Doherty to the 59 of] Smjth, who also served in the| Spanjsh-American war. All are lawyers except Melton, who is pub- lisher of the Griffm, Ga., Daily News. Old Program Left With the major objective of the Legion a past issue—the bonus hav- ing been paid this year—the task| of the incoming National Com- mander will be to guide the Legion along an avowed path of public service and hold the membership with a program which has no sel- fish goals. The program of public service, given form by successful conven- tions since the first caucus in Paris| in 1919, embraces adequate aid for disabled veterans, aid for widows and orphans of those killed in ser- vice or who have died later from the effects of their wounds, com- munity service, child welfare, and Americanization which includes the junior baseball program, Boy Scout aid and promotion, and adult edu- cation.

We can deal with the nu- merically small internal enemy, but at the time time the Facist enemy is prepared to attack us from the outside. Let him prepare. We were ready long ago to resist him.” Maneuvers are designed to solve the problem of protecting White Russia, the buffer strip on the western frontier adjoining Poland and Czechoslovakia.
