ASKS LEGION AID INENFORCING LAW Dr. Simons Urges Veterans at Annual Dinner to Teach Respect. “We have come to the time when we must preach the patriotism of peace.” said Dr. Abram Simon, rabbi of Washington Hebrew Congregation, in his address at the annual dinner and entertainment for the disabled war veterans given by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Post, No. 23, American Legion, at Harvey's restau. rant last night. Fifty-three disabled veterans from ‘Walter Reed and Mount Alto hos pitais, guests of the legion, and more than 100 members and guests heard Dr. Simmon’s appeal for law enforce- ment and a greater respect for the Federal Government in time of peace. *“When drama and vaudeville enjoy poking fun at our National Govern- ment and its law enforcement it re- flects unfavorably upon our Govern- ment,” he stated. “We have come to the time when we must preach the patriotism of peace, for duty is quite as imperative in time of peace as in war. America should be the greatest law-observing nation in the universe, and there is a great opportunity for| the American Leglon to encourage | patriotism in time, of peace through | law observance,” he stated.
