F e. HUNTINGTON. former
 judge advocate of Camp Travis, Texas, In an address be- fore the Yellowstone post of the American Legion in Billings. Mont. declared that the Legion should be proud of the charge that 1t was suffering from virile insomnia recently made by cer- tain politicians in Washington. The charge, he said, was made by certain people who resented the Leg1on's pension, for keep ing awake and kicking until 1t got what 1t wanted. MT. Hunt ington emphasized the fact that only through positive and deh- nite expression of their ideas and opinions could those ideas and opinions become known, and, more important, adopted.
 "1This idea that individual ef- fort and expression Is futile in the effort to accomplish the things the Legion stands for Is ill-considered and fallacious," MT. Huntington declared. for the men in Washington have their ear to the ground and take note of what people are saying"
