MINNEAPOLIS, June 22.-Hun-
dreds of MANNED and wounded vet
Grams of the world war poured into
MINNEAPOLIS today for the third
annual convention Of the Disabled
American Veterans, which opens
Monday.
Already, though the meeting is
three days off, great excitement
was manifested among the delegates
as different groups prepared pro-
grams for veterans relief which
they will urge, in convention.
Talk of the groups on hand in
dicated that there will be a strong
movement to fan the flame of re-
sentiment which some Of the vet
Grams harbor against the alleged
apathy of Congress toward legisla-
ton aiding disabled soldiers. Resolu-
tons were being drafted asking
Congress to pass an omnibus relief
bill for all manned soldiers, and
petitioning again for enactment Of
soldiersN bonus bill. These will
be the chief controversial subjects
before the convention, it appeared
certain.
Madame Schumann-H eink is COM
ing from California to sing at the
convention, and the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra will give a
series of concerts which will be
broadcast by radio to manned SOL
diers in hospitals all over the coun-
try.
Col George e. Leach, mayor Of
Minneapolis, and national commit
teeman Of the D. A.. w., has turned

Outstanding features of the con-
vention will be military parade
