Pr0p0Sed Celebration
 Announcement was made yesterday following the meeting of the ex- ccutive committee Friday afternoon that Birmingham post No. l, Amer ican Legion, will take no part in the Fourth of July programme arranged by the League of Women Voters be- cause it disapproves of the disarm- ament feature which is being planned. Frank Dixon, who had been appointed to represent the legion on the general committee on arrange ments, was instructed to withdraw.
 The members of the legion espe- cially objected to the disarmament pageant as planned by the women's organization, according to a state- ment of George Lewis Bales, com mander of the post, last night. MT. Bailes says that the differences be- tween the legion and the other or ganization is merely a matter of method Both are working for peace. but the legion believes that peace can best be kept by preparedness, while the League of Women Voters believes in disarmament. When asked what was done at the meeting about the recent discussion over the soldiers compensation bill, Mir. Bales said that so far as the legion was concerned this is a closed f,x In tIn state at large had voted 50 to 1 in favor of an adjusted compensa ation. and the local post had voted 70 to l in favor of 1t.
