'VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS WILL GATHER AT INDIANAPOLIS TO REVIEW OLD EXPLOITS Pension Discussion to Occu- py 29th Convention of Ex-Soldiers. SEEK MORE U. S. FUNDS. ' Comdr.

Only those who served in the armed forces of the United States outside its boundaries make up the organization’s roster. Many of them carrv scars of acticn, and not a few bear permancnt injurr as testimonia! of their wounds. The auxiliary will meet at the samc time To Discnss Pensions. Of chief interest, other than the re- counting of camp fire tales, will be t convention’s disenssion of a proposed World War service pension for disabled veterans. The measure nated within the veterans' organization is designed to obtain compensation for the former service men unable to pro- vide affidavits or service record proof of their disabilitics. Tt is based on fig- ures of the United States Veterans' Bu- reau intended to show that the peak of hospitalization resulting from the war will be reached in 1947 “This is our most important job. says Frank T. Strayer, Indianapolis commander, who was wounded during an air raid and spent several months in hospitals “Need Veterans' Funds.” Second to this is the way in which the Veterans' hands are tied for lack of funds. The $15.000,000 appropriation of the la: Congress was a step in the right dire tion, but it was only a drop i the bucket compared with the amounts necessary in the future.” Convention speakers include Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans' Bu- reau: Senator Smith W. Brookhart of Towa, Winfield Scott. commissioner of pensions: Senators James E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson of Indiana and Gov. Ed Jackson of Indiana Officers will be elected on the last day and a convention city chosen. Fu- gene P. Carver. Brookline, Mass.. senior vice commander, and H. N. Duff, Lan- sing.
