Decided by Local Organization -
Drive for Million Members Opens

BOSTON. Sept. 4-Henry D. Linds
ley, chairman of the national executive
committee of the American legion, has
officially declared the opposition of his
organization to such representatives in
congress as show an apathetic interest
bin the expulsion from the United States
of alien slackers. He points to the fact
of a probable million members of the
legion within the next few months, and
says that the legion will take the first
steps in providing the right kind of
personnel for congress to bring about
the desired action, should it become ne
cessary.

One of ~he chief concerns of the ma

to determine the methods which, vii
reflect the wishes of the membership il

The right of negroes to join thu
American legion is clearly determines
in the constitution adopted at st. Loui
and will be generally recognized as tn
fundamental right of all who serve,
