Woman Leads Post
to Hi9h Standing

Under guidance Of woman. a post
Of the American Legion In Winston.
Salem. North Carolina, has grown to
be one Of the most effective and pow.
erfnl units Of the organization in the
South. Miss Alice Gray. former post
commander. now representing the state
rs member Of the national executive
committee. was this leader. and Legion
ofiicinls are agreed that her efforts are
greatly responsible for success Of this
post.
The first care Of the Clyde Boiling
post. which Miss Gray headed, was re-
lief Of the disabled, and after that
came service to the community. Many
forward looking steps were outlined
and put into effect by the post during
the term which Miss Gray headed the
post. and Its achievements. particular.
iy in instilling into the citizenship a
deeper sentiment for patriotism. have
won It place Of respect from the
entire community. Display Of tine flag
was one Of the lenders hobbies. and
perhaps no city In the South has more
general observance Of patriotic Gus
toms thnn Winston Salem.

PLACE BLAME FOR
CRIME IN NATION

In order to support the claims OF
the American Legion that certain
element Of the alien population Is
largely responsible for crime in the
nation. a definite survey Of persons
and courts has been undertaken by
Garland w. Powell. director of the
National Amerlcanism commission Of
the Legion.
The Legion favors total exclusion
Of all immigrants for q period Of FIVE
years, IN order to assimilate those
America. and will present the deter
limitations as regards the crime BY
aliens. In order to substantlate the
allegations that such immigration is
deleterious to national ideals.
Similar information has never be-
fore been available, but Mr.. Powell
hopes to present 1t in such way as
to completely bear out claims Of the
Legion. The immigration question
will be presented to national legisla-
tors for consideration ut this term Of
congress.
In letter sent to the chairman Of
Americanism commissions In each Of
the Legion departments, definite infor-
nation Is sought. One Of the ques-
tionnaires prepared by the American
ism commission deals with courts. dis
trict attorneys and the activities Of
their offices. In this, Mr.. Powell re-
quests exact information as to cases
pending against aliens for violation Of
narcotic and prohibition laws, for
murder. for robbery, and other crimes.
as compared with American citizens
held on the same charge.
Another portion Of the questionable
deals entirely with prison and penal
Institutions. This requests informa-
tion as to how many aliens are serv.
ing sentences Of six months or more
for murder. robbery, violation Of pro
hlbitIon and narcotic laws. and other
crimes. as compared with the Amer
leans incarcerated for the same crimes.
Importance Of such census Of pris-
ons and courts has been impressed on
the Americanism commission Of each
department, and the Information re-
ceived is expected by Mr.. Powell to
be Of weight in consideration of i'm
migration restriction, In line with pol.
icies Of the veterans organization.
