A resolution was unanimously adopted at the recent meeting of the Sergt. | Jasper Post, No. 13, the American Legion, at the Thomas Ofrele Club, 1326 Massachusetts avenue, urging Congress ; to enact legislation granting Civil Serv- ice status to all veterans of any war, | employed in United States Government and independent establishments thereof, such as Alien Property Custodian, who | have had prior Government, service to | include July 1, 1930, and who are not ! now under Civil 8ervice. A resolution pointing out all old in- accuracies occurring in press accounts of the Department Convention of the American Legion ficld in Washington was also unanimously adopted, request- u;} the Executive Committee of the lo- cal Department of the American Leglon to adopt necessary procedure to organ- | 1ze a competent publicity committee, the duties and personnel of which to be | within the discretion of the department commander, to thus secure accurate ress reports of the various meetings and assemblies of the American Legion. Comdr. Ferdinand G. Fraser and Past Comdr. Thomas J. Frailey represented the post on the occasion of a banquet recently tendered by La Societe des 40 Hommes et 8 Chevaux at the Ambassa- dor Hotel in honor of Dr. B. C. Mac- Neil, department commander elect. Comdr. Fraser has announced that 70 members of the post are in good stand- ing for 1931 and the total membership for 1930 is 287, the largest in the history of the post. George Ringer was among e members of the post who ate tended the national convention at Boston, Several resolutions of importance in the 1081 program of the American Legion were adopted at the twelfth na- tional convention. Some of the most important were resolutions on the edu- cation of war orphans, the marking of the graves of veterans, the 200th anni- versary of the birth of George Wash- ington to be observed in 1932, and a resolution on the oath of citizenship in the United States. ‘The resolution relating to war orphan education called attention to the fact | that the Federal Government is award- ing ecompensation to orphans who are pursuing a course of instruction, that provision has been made for the a pointment of the sons of deceased vet- erans to the Military and Naval Acad- emies, that various States have enacted war orphan scholarship laws and in ad- dition many educational institutions have aided by remitting fees and other concessions. It was resolved that this work be made an active part of the Legion gmlrnm in the coming year and that, subject to the approval of the Na- tional Executive Committee, the na- tional and five area directors shill con- stitute, as heretofore, the National phans, and continue to function as a separate committee. The resolution on the marking of vet- erans’ graves said that the present type of marble stone marker furnished hy the Government through the quarte:- ‘master general becomes weatherbeaten and unsightly and has not the perma- nency or lasting qualities of other ma- terials. It was resolved that the Legion's National Legislation Commit- tee should endeavor to ebtain the adop- Committee on Education of War Or- | THE SUNDAY 8§ tion Oon{reu of “suitable legislation looklzi to the marking of the graves United States with a stone suitable to the varying conditions.” A proposal that French veterans of the &orld ‘War be invited to join with the Legion in observing the 300th anni- versary of the birth of George Wash- Ln.;an and at the same time honor Gen. Lafayette was contained in the resolu- on the Washington obse: It was resolved that “the Government of the United States be requested to join with the American Legion in ex- tending to the Prench veterans of the World War an invitation to join in the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, and, upon the birthday of Gen. Lafayette, hold a reunion in Washington, D. C., in order to show that the bonds of friend- ship early begun, continue today, and Wflr continue during the lives of these two great republics.” The resoluticn on allegiance set forth 15 a privilege to be conferred only upon those who wholly accept the responsi- bilities involved, and not upon those and consequently we believe that no person should be admitted to citizenship to take an unqualified oath of allegiance o our Government.” ‘The regular monthly meeting of the U. | S. 8. Jacob Jones Post, No. 2, was held | at the Thomas Circle Club last Monday | night. fMcers were nominated as fol- lows: Commander, AmL Howard and Helen Bpr: ; senior vice commander, Catherine ‘gowley and Elsie Pinney; Junior vice commander, Mary Z. Weide; Chaplain, Gladys Alian and Emma Bliss; hostorian, Cora Drake and Helen ; quartermaster, Ella Chambers Margaret Edwards; sergeant at Edith Armstrong _and_ Jean Amelia Boberg, and arms, Coates; color bearers, | Jane Breen. 8 The next meeting, at which election | of officers will be held, will take place at the board room of the District Build- | ing at 8 o'clock November 10. f The post has founded a scholarship to the amount of $250 for the purpose of assisting the blind. The fund has this year been awarded to a young| woman blind student at the University | of Pennsylvania, who is studying for a | B. 8. degree. It is this student's in-| tention upon graduation to teach blind | children. This fund was founded and | awarded through the American Founda- tion for the Blind in New York City. Thursday evening from 7 to 9 o'clock | the post will have a Halloween party for | 50 children from the Salvation Army at | the home of the Americanism officer, | Georgia Munroe. Comrade Munroe, 85 rt of her work during the year for| Phe post, has had a club of 17 girls and | boys, cailed the “Westgate Club.” This club will act as host for the post at the Halloween party, conducting games, passing refreshments, ete. The post is providing clown stunts for all the chil- | dren and, of course, refreshments. By permission of the Secretary of the| Navy, last Thursday there was hung in | the new Navy Building the post’s first colors, 'This flag was painted and pre- sented by Rose Stokes, the first com- mander of the post. ‘The banner has| been framed for preservation. ‘The annual election of officers fea- tured the meeting of Henry S.

Gen. John J. Pershing and Secretary of the Navy Adams accepted invitations to be speakers Armistice night. Past National Comdr. Boden- hamer will be the master of celemonies and the other principal speaker will be Comdr. O'Neil. It is possible that Secretary of the Navy Adams will be on & trip in the West_Armistice night, in which case it is expected that he will deliver this ad- dress from a distant point by telephone to the broadcasting station in Washing- ton. Last year this Legion program on Armistice night attracted an attendance the Washington Auditorium that overflowed the large hall and it became necessary to furnish loud speakers along the streets, the crowds receiving the speeches from roofs, windows and build- ings. The demand for seats this year is expected to be equally as great.
