was accomplished At todays session
save the formal opening OF the con-
vention and examination Of creden.
tial, Of the delegates, sessions Of
various temporary committees during
the past two days have brought to
light many difference OF opinion.
Foremost among these Is the disen.
sion between the national guard and
the regular army.
Fight on Regular Army.
A strong effort is being made on
the part OF the national guardsmen to
exclude regular army men from the
legion. although the temporary execu-
tive committee has voted 10 open the
membership to all men and women
who saw service in the war Col.
Bennett Clark, who q few days ago
told the national guard convention
that the regular army must be
mashed" now is the leader OF the
forces fighting for recognition OF the
regular army in the legion
Politics Denied.
In addition to regular army-nation
al guard affairs, many delegates to-
day reiterated previous complaint,
that the legion would be "sn officers
club" and that politics was being
PLAYED in its organization. These
charges were fa,ly denied by both
Lieut.. Col Theodore Roosevelt, tenn
porary chairman. and Colonel Clark,
temporary vice chairman Of the execu-
tive committee in opening addresses
today.
The proposed rule to limit the en-.
listed men to 50 percent OF the mem
bership has been s,ricen out. at the
Recommendation Of Lieutenant Gallo
mel Roosevelt and . substitute will be
presented, probably tomorrow.
Another question which was brought
up today was that Of admitting
negroes to membership \ group of
southern delegates. headed BY Ala.
bamians, is lobbying against the ad-
mission Of Negroes, proposing that
they should be allowed 10 form an
auxiliary organization.
