LEGION ENDORSES
THE SLACKER LIST
Patriotic Men Willing to Bear Ten
porary Stigma In Order to See
COwards Punished
ASSOCIATED Press)

Indianapolis, Ind, May 26.-Assur-
ances are coming into national head
quarters of the American Legion from
members in all parts of the country
that even though their names have
been enormously included on lists Of
draft deserters they are willing to en-
dure this temporary embarrassment
in order that the real slackers may be
held up to permanent shame.
In some localities, legion posts are
checking the lists before publication.
Relative to errors that have crept into
the Stacker lists. National Commander
F. w. Galbraith Jr., said:
'The American Legion sees no rea-
son to regret the issuance and publi-
cation of the draft deserter lists. That
publication has shown there are 20
man yerrors in these lists In Of course
to be regretted, but errors are inevi-
table in the handling Of one hundred
and sixty thousand names
MANY Of the men embarrassed by
the erroneous inclusion Of their names
are ex-service men and legion men,
bers with honorable records. Their
embarrassment has been but tempo
rary, however, as the errors have
been quickly righted.
Friends, relatives and neighbors
know who served and who did not
serve their country and newspapers
have quickly made amends for unin-
territorial injury at the hands Of the
government. Legion posts throughout
the country stand ready to assist In
clearing up any confusion. II has not
been a source of bitterness TO veter-
ans to be temporarily classed with the
slackers. At most it has been an
annoying experience. The bitterness,
the anger and shame are felt only By
the real slaekers, the men whose
names are on the lists and win stay
there.
81 believe that nine out Of ten ex-
service men are willing to be slightly
and temporarily embarrassed IL they
feel that the slackers Of the country
are, at the same time. being rightfuily
and permanently embarrassed; the
more especially since errors are being
quickly cleared up by individuals and
by the American Legion and similar
organizations.
"As a matter of fact. publication Of
these lists give the opportunity Of
forever clearing the names Of the men
who served, which otherwise might
through error be stained. Newspa-
pers are doing q patriotic service in
printing the. lists, for it is of the ut
most Importance that he records b
Immediately and finally cleared. Even
though unavoidable errors occur, the
American Legion is firm IN believing
that the Stacker lists must receive the
full light of publicity. Only through
publicity can the innocent be com
pletely and finally vindicated."

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

A public hearing will be held in the
courthouse at Inverness, Fla, at $3.50
a. m, Tuesday, June Ia, 1921. for the
purpose of securing information upon
which to base report upon the appli-
cation of the Cove Company of Ocala,
Fla, for license to authorize the con-
struction, operation and the mainte-
nance of certain project works for the
development of power on the Withla-
coochee river, Fla, in the region of
Dunnellon. Marion county, Fla. and
Holder, Citrus county, Fla. The pro-
posed works will cover the construc-
tion of two dams, power house, and
one transmission line.
The Federal Power Commission in
referring the papers to the engineer
department for reports states:
Protests against the granting of
the license applied for or other COM
munications relative to the application
have been received. The
objections to the granting of the
license seem to be based upon the
raising of the water level and the
damages that would result therefrom
both in normal times and in periods
of extreme high water. The matter
of land damages is not one properly
coming under the jurisdiction of the
commission and is not a reason for
refusing to grant license for water
power project under the provisions of
the act. The applicant must acquire
the necessary land and water rights
for his project and is responsible for
damages caused by its construction
but the matter is one to be settled be-
tween interested parties direct, or il
necessary, in the state courts. Where,
however, the proposed project viii in
terfere materially with other economic
developments or will be menace to
the locality, it is important that the
commission should be apprized of the
facts in the case in order that it may
decide the advisability of granting
the application"
