women of South Florida eligible
to join the American Legion.
In his preliminary remarks,
Commander BROKER outlined the
pertinent facts of the Legion or
ganization, stressing the fact it is
a non-sectarian and non-political
group of world war veterans;
traced the origin and history of
the veteran organization, and ex-
planned such principles as law
and order, safety campaign and
child welfare activities.
From the beginning, and in
the face of organized pacifists of
unreasoning or radical tenden-
cies, the American Legion has
sought to increase the strength
and efficiency of our national de-
Tense forces, Commander Brook
er continued. while others
talked of paper pacts and dis
ornaments the American Legion
advocated preparedness not only
for national defense and security,
but as means of insuring our
peace.
I'VE believed, and still be-
ieve, that the nation best able
to defend itself against foreign
aggression is least likely to have
to do so. And our sincerity in
saying that our position was
taken in the interest of promot-
ing peace was proven by the fact
that ours was one of the first and
most potent voices advocating
position of neutrality in the
present European war.
$50 for these reasons among
others we have grown in the con-
fidence and respect of our peo-
pie.
"And it will be remembered
! that the American Legion was
first in pointing to the existence
and danger of Communists and
other subversive groups, having
! as their ultimate objective the
overthrow of our constitutional
form Of government.
For many years we were
called red baiterS'. But the in
vestigations and disclosures of
the Dies committee, created
largely at the instance of the
American Legion, have con-
WINGED the people that we were
not merely crying wolf when
there was no wolf"
There were a number of other
service officers and public Off

CITY BUYMANSHIP
IS BEING STUDIED

Continued from Page One)
centralized PurchaSing-A Key
To Lower Taxes, points out that
even a small town whose budget
runs only $4,000 or so a year
can save from $1,000 to $1,000
annually by wise buying while
savings are proportionately great
er for larger places. e,
Although the NCTC does not
recommend employment of a
full-time purchasing agent for
cities whose purchases total less
than 100000 annually, smaller
communities may employ a part
time expert or take advantage of
the savings made possible by
cooperative buying in which sew
eral communities band together
to buy in quantity lots, the COM
mission says.
Chief advantage of either syS-
tenn is the centering of buying
authority and responsibility with
a resultant elimination of hab-
its of looSeneSS, extravaganza or
downright theft, the program
asserts.
AS an example of potential
savings through careful super
vision, it cites Norwood, Mass,
which saved $S,430 in a single
year simply by taking its cash
discounts. Other economies to-
falling many times the $1,000
salary paid the pArt-time ypur-
chasing agent were also made in
this city Of $4,000.

used by NCTC units in 5000

Reports from London indicate
excitement runs high as the
British people clamor for addi-

in Euope. Large crowds, early
today, stormed No. 10 Downing

kept under control by British
boobies.
Neutral observers declared, as
a special release from London
came through, that the invasion
of the Scandinavian countries
had long been planned. The ar
rival of a German transport ship
off the coast of Norway last
night gave definite proof that
such invasion had been started
long before the mine-laying Incl

British naval ships announced the
successful placing of three sep

made all the more startling in
that Norway and Germany sign

June. CD President Roosevelt is

British and French ministers
