ton. Opposing Owsley were William
f. Deegan of New York, Joseph
Thompson of Pennsylvania and John
M. Mccormick of Colorado. Each nom

result was doubtful. The first ten
states scattered their votes. Then I'LL

delegates rose and shouted: Sixty
votes for Owsle :"

votes for Ovsley came fast and furi-

There are just four things that the
legion means to push, just four things
that are on our standard Major
Owsley said. "They are rehabilitation,
disqualification adjusted compensation
and Americanization. We're going to
fight for the adjusted compensation to
finish and We'll win it, too. will
