LEGION GEARS
HIT new DEAL
Veterans Politicians Seek
Control of Indiana Par
ley in Drive.
BY JAMES DOSS
Times STAFF Writer

The king makers" of the Amer
lean Legion are busy again and it is
reported their followers may make
an attempt to control the legion's
Indiana state convention when the
veterans converge on Gary next
month.
The king makers" are little
band of legion politicians operating
on a national scale. Although only
three in number, the faction is so
powerful that it has controlled the
elections of national commanders of
the legion almost from the begin
ming.
Republican and strongly anti
Roosevelt, the king makers" are
credited with electing Edward A.
Hayes. the present national COM
mander, who has not been backward
in attacking the New Deal.
The legion theoretically is non
partisan organization, but there
have been repeated reports that the
king makers" are trying to line up
legion slate opposed to the New
Deal.
Three Leaders Named
Leaders in the movement are Phil
Collins and Hanford McNider, both
Republicans, and less prominent in
the foreground, Mark Mckee, De-
troit lobbyist.
MIR. McNider is an Iowa banker
with huge cement interests. He was
the Hoover appointee as minister to
Canada.
Mr.. Collins is a Chicagoan and
was a candidate for national chair
man when the Republican national
committee was reorganized last
month in Chicago. He is reported
controlled by Mckee, who is to keep
somewhat in the background be-
cause of being under a grand jury
investigation in the army contracts
scandal.
Mr. McNider and Mr.. Collins have
been doing q lot of missionary
work throughout the country in
preparation for the state conven-
tions, most of which come this
month, and the national conven-
ton in Miami, Fla, in October.
They came to indianapolis in May
and conferred with several veteran
Republican politicians.
Reform Element Formed
However, the king makers" ma
neuvering has not gone unnoticed,
and So-called reform element in
the legion is reported ready to fight
to rid the organization of the
king makers" dominance.

makers" this year apparently
