Bu ASSocinieR Press

New York, April 15.-Use of for
mer district draft boards in stag
ing caucuses at which delegates to
the organization convention of the
American Legion. to be held May
in st. Louis, will be selected was
suggested to temporary state chair
men in Il communication issued here
by Lieutenant Colorcls Theodore

man and vice-chairman, respective
ly of the temporary executive COM
mittee of the World War Veterans

The suggestion. originating with
Major w. G. Murdock. of Harrisburg,
Pa, was said to be highly practicable
as the draft board members are in
touch with the soldiers.
The executive committee, it was
announced, has appealed to the rail
road administration to grant rate
of one cent a mile, the rate granted
to furlouEhcd soldiers, to all dele
gates to the st. Louis convention.
Unless. this request is granted, ii
was pointed out, some delegates may
find themselves financially unable

there should be no age limit. The only
