J. Miller Kenyon, who served as department commander in 1927, was elected president of the local bar asso- clation Tuesday night, succeeding Julius 1. Peyser. The previous year John Lewis Smith, also a past department.com- mander, served as president with honors to the legal fraternity. The newly elected president is & colonel in the Army Reserve Corps and has a distinguished World War record. He is prominent in both Government and local legal circles and the night of his election was one of the largest gatherings in the history of the Wash~ ington Bar Association. One of the most important matters which will re- ceive his attention this year is the adoption of a bill now peuding in Con- gress for the appointment of two local judgeships and he will be strongly sup- ported by the local legai fraternity as well as the board of directors of the bar association, which has gone on record as opposed to the present method of appointing local judges from the Nation at large, but to limit these appointments to District lawyers. ‘The presence in the National last week of National Comdr. Bodenhamer gave impetus to the American Legion and its m for the present year. The national com- mander made two outstanding ad- dresses, one before the Army War Col- lege and the other before the members of the National Sojourners’ Club. At the Army War College he spoke on-the “Universal Draft” and before 'the Sojourners banqueters at the Mayflower Hotel on “National Defense.” both instances his address' wis warmly re- ceived by his audiences. *In connection with his “National Defense” speech stressed the fact that three members of the American delegation to the London Naval Confer- ence are members of the American Legion. They are Col. 3 Stimson, Secretary of State; Gen. Charles G. Dawes, Ambassador to Great Britain, and Maj. David A. Reed, Sen- ator from Pennsylvania. Comdr. Bcdenhamer set forth the Legicn's attitude toward the Naval Con- ference and especially its stand on world peace, in the following words: “Today the people of the world are concerned more Wwith universal peace and proper protection of their countries’ national defense, its cost and its re- duction, than with any other . subject since the World War. Every nation is watching closely the steps preliminary to the Naval Conference to be held in London this month. Nowhere is there an organization more actively interested gttgee:tgm&emm;w’nl«‘:mth&: erican Legion, for it was legion which stood so against ywerful in Congress last po groups Winter to authorize the construction of 15_cruisers. “The legion's stand today is funda- mentally the same as it has been since the inception of our organization. The ultimate results sought by the United States and Great Britain in this im- conference—that of equal with safe reductions and with %Lgt me::“ desire : s of T e i s ) e Trouest about by mmfi" rather than by con- struction. “The delegation is composed of out- standing American citizens, three mem- bers of which are members of the American Legion—Col. Henry L. Stim- son, Gen. Charles G. Dawes and Maj. David A. Reed, all of whom have been and still are outstanding legionnaires of whom the legion is justly proud. In addition to these three se: men, we have as members of the American dele- gation Secretary of the Navy Charles Francis Adams, Senator Joseph T. Robinson, & consistant friend of the legicn, and Hugh 8. Gibson, Ambassa- dor _to Belgium. 3 “This is a well balanced- delegation. ‘They are qualified to represent the United States of America. They know war and its futility. Likewise, they know the demands of national security. ‘They deserve, therefore, that confidence and encouragement as requested by the President of the United States in' his statement to the American people made on the eve of the departure of our delegation. Just what agreement can be reached by this conference yet remains to be seen. It is to be hoped that the conclusions of this conference will be such as to meet with the hearty ap- proval of the American people. “Pending the announcement of such conclusions, however, certainly our ob- ligation to the promotion of world peace and to the progress of interna- tional good will justifies us in giving to them and to this conference a sym- pathetic and friendly attitude. And it is my hope that the service men of this country will lend every possible encour- agement toward the successful con- clusion of this conference.” In view of the fact that more than 400,000 veterans fafled to file applica- tions for adjusted compensation and 00 applications were re- to be acted upon, John ‘Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of the national legislative committee, an- nounces that his committee has re- quested Chairman Hawley of the ways and means committee of the House to introduce a bill to extend the period of application for adjusted compensation, which terminated January 2, for an additional period of two yea The records show that 401,705 Army, 60.000 Navy and 11,000 Marine Corps | :gt{_};g;fl failed to apply, a total of Women of the American Legion Auxiliary from all parts of the country will attend the fifth annual Woman's Patriotic Conference on National De- fense to be held here January 29, 30 and 31, according to announcement of :dnt.

The conference will be held under the co-sponsorship of the auxiliary and the Daughters -of the American Revolution. The conference will open with 8 mass meeting the night of Januery 29 in Constitution Hall. O. L. Bodenhamer. national commander of the American Legion; Mrs. Lowell P. Hobart, presi- 1 of the D. A. R.; Mrs, lure, president of the Amer- will speak. The meeting will be lowed by a reception and the: formal opening of the new hall. The confer- ence sessions will continue January 30 and 31 with many nationally known authorities on the different phases of national defenses addressing the gathering.

The problems of caring for the dis- abled veterans of the World War will be considered at a national conference of American Legion Auxiliary rehabili- tation workers here January 30 to Pebruary 2, Mrs. Boyce Ficklen, jr. chairman of the auxiliary’s nation: rehabilitation committee, has nounced. The conference will be held Jjointly with the American Legion. ‘The national rehabilitation commit- tee of the American Legion will hold a conference here on February 1, 2 and 3, acc to a call being sent out by Watson B. Miller, chairman of the committee. The conference will be at- tended by rehabilitation officials of the n from every State in the Union and by high officlals of the United States Veterans' Bureau. Sessions will be held at the committee’s headquar- ters in the Bond Building. Questions relative to_the administration of the Veterans' Bureau d the hospitaliza- tion of World War veterans will be considered. An order issued by Gen. Frank Hines, director of the Veterans' Bureau, will be of interest to veterans who wish to repay loans and secure the return by the Veterans’ Bureau of their adjusted service certificates. The order refers to the collection of checks and drafts, and reads as follows: “Where a remit- tance is in the form of cash or post office money order the certificate and note may be released at once. Where the remittance is in the form of check or draft, however, the certificate will be released only after sufficient time is allowed for collection. The time al- lowed for collection will not be less than 20 nor more than 25 days, de- rendmt on the time required for col- lection at each office. Appropriate cal- endar file will be maintained to insure release of certificate and notes at the proper time.” ‘The rules governing the 1930 compe- tition in the American Legion junior base ball program have been drafted by the National Americanism Commis- sion, and an advance copy has been supplied to all department athletic offi- cers, Dan Sowers, national director of the Americanism Commission, has an- nounced.

The big leagues expressed their pleasure in joining again with the Legion in its mt national program of junior base “The goal for the 1930 season of the Leglon junior base ball program has been set as that of bringing into super- vised competition 500,000 boys under lh_em age I:'rloll;";‘a “t::-u’:;' Sowers. e 8 its fourth year of junior base ball.
