AMERICAN LEGION PLANNING
MEMORIAL FOR GALBRAITH

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 20.-Construc-
ton of memorial in Cincinnati to the
late F. W. Galbraith, Jr.. former COM
mander of the American Legion. was
authorized today by the legionIs national
executive committee. An appropriation
of $25,000 for the memorial. which will
be built on a site overlooking the Ohio
river, was authorized. The committee
also designated Oct,ber 16 to 20 as the
dates for the fourth annual convention,
which is to be held in New Orleans.
The first day of the conference of de-
psrtmental officers who assembled this
morning, was devoted to discussion of
the plight of disabled world war veter-
ans and plans for their relief. The
United States Veterans Bureau was
criticized by several speakers. Junius
F. Lynch, Of Norfolk, Va, declared the
trouble was not so much with the bureau
but that it was left too much in the
hands of Brigadier General Sawyer,
President Hardings personal physician.
General Sawyer was characterized by
the speakers as a man who had not
donned the army uniform until two
years after the armistice was signed"
A resolution was adopted calling on
the federal government to exert all its
facilities in behalf of disabled veterans
and demanding an immediate settle
rnent Of long pending claims. The vet
Grams bureau should consider induction
into the service proof of sound mental
and physical condition of applicants for
compensation, the resolution said
Speakers supporting the resolution
stated that the burden of proof of un.
impaired health is now placed upon the
applicant regardless of the fact that ser
vice doctors admitted him into the ar
my or navy.
National Commander MacNider out
lined to the conference THIS morning, hi'
Olans for a census of e-service person,
| to determine their financial needs anC
! their attitude regarding readjusted com
! pensation These plans will be debated
at another session of the conference to
morrow.
