The American Legion is not an
expression Of democratic. but rather
in expression Of entrenched business
and military interests which attempt
to hide their true purposes under

Prof. Gellermann, Legionnaire,
who is q member OF Post IS at Kent,

mated by a small group Of reactionary
leaders. too powerful to be unseated.
1T Is encouraging to observe that
the average ex-service man is not now

Through the use of stereotypes

Its intolerance and persecution Of
those who advocate change, in the
name of those very rights which the
American Legion itself substantially
destroys. is Fascism in fact, and
should be opposed with all the vigor
at the disposal of American educa-
tors.
In the promotion of war and Fas-
cism, the American Legion has done
more than its share
Prof. Gellermann urged the educa-
ton association, which has former
Legion Comdr. Ray Murphy of Iowa
as a convention speaker Wednesday,
to sever any connection with the

Of the compression compartment. the
men were able to escape uninjured.
Throughout the night scores of fire.
men and sandhogs went up and down

down hoses, gas masks, chemicals and
other equipment only to find it useless.
Doctors Set Up Station.
Time after time men entered the
compression compartment from the
shore side, were built up to the
chamber pressure. and then were un-
able to 60 through into the chamber
because Of the heat, smoke and steam.
A corps of doctors set up an emer-
gency station at the foot of the shaft
to treat minor injuries and administer
drugs and stimulants to combat the
effects of the pressure. Lungs and
hearts OF fireman volunteers were
tested before they attempted unsuc-
cessfully to reach the chamber.
