Unified Legionnaires
Demand Stepup
In War Effort
Assignment Of Civilians
To Roles in Conflict
Urged by Veterans
BY the Associated Press.

0y tns Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, September o.
The lost Legionnaires-the 500 mer
who came to the 1912 American Le-
gion convention confused and i'll al
ease IN their awkward role as civil
ians IN a uniformed, marching
fighting world-are going home with
renewed hope. They're going to
help win this new war.
They may not have any 1943
convention. They may be too busy
And the thought is adding new
sparkle to the eyes that sighted down
the barrels of those World War ]
rifles Is years ago.
With a unity never before seen
In American Legion history, the con-
ventlon recorded demand after de-
mand for more vigorous war effort
and effort in which every Legion
naire can take an active role.
Want Places as Teachers.
An estimated 100000 Legionnaires
have tried in vain to enter the new
Army, Disabilities that Is years
have brought them intervened, but
the Legion is not abandoning its
efforts to find places for them as
uniformed teachers or military ad-
ministrators.
Every civilian, too, the Legion de-
manded, must be assigned an i'm
mediate wartime role. There must
be immediate legislation to con-
script capital, labor, industry and
agriculture, as we'll as men for the
armed forces, the convention de-
clared.
The vote to admit as members
veterans of the present war proved
almost side issue as the delegates
concentrated on methods of speed
ing the day of victory.
There were few attempts at fri
volity, and no one missed the can
celed parade. Not a single floor
fight developed throughout the
convention, and a shouting unanim-
ity marked the election of Roane
Waring, Memphis utility executive,
as national commander.
Legislative Program.
Legislation urged by the conven-
ton would provide:
Job security for all returning
from the armed services.
One years compulsory military
training for youth after the war.
Fewer deferments of young, able
bodied men in essential jobs, and
no deferments at employers re-
quests unless substitute employees
cannot be found.
Commissioning of women sur
geons and physicians.
Another resolution urged every
effort be made to bring the Nations
air force to its highest possible
strength.
And-remember those long, dusty,
weary marches of Is years ago?-
one last resolution was adopted
It asks the Army to commission
chiropodists-
$50 that proper treatment may
be effected for those suffering foot
casualties from rigorous training"
The Legionnaires yesterday heard
Donald M. Nelson, war production
chief, declare that the fat of easy
years upon which Americans have
been living will be worn away with
In year.
1--WE have hardly begun to feel
the pinch" he said, adding by next
year 60 per cent of the country's
production would be for war as
compared to the present figure OF
20 per cent.

ALASkA SHIPPING
 MUST BE MAINLY
 ESSENTIAL CARGO
Navy Orders 90 Percent of Space Utilized for
 War Effort

Vice. Admiral c. s. Freeman, Commandant, 18th Naval District, US. Navy, announces that it has come to his attention that certain small vessels are being chartered for the transportation of cargoes to Alaska which are not essential to the war effort or to the health, ell-being, or development of AL askan communities.
 In a letter to the Collector of Customs in Seattle, Freeman stat ed that "in order to conserve vital fuel for the transportation of es- sential cargoes, and in order to utilize bottoms and cargo space to the maximum, you are directed to refuse to permit departure to AL aska of any vessel unless 90 per- cent of the cargo carried is ma terial, supplies or equipment con- tributing to the war effort or to the health, wellbeing or develop ment of Alaskan communities"
 Freeman added, the object in view is that in order to conserve vital fuel, no nonessential cargo shall be transported so long as any essential cargo is offered, and that nonessential cargo shall not exceed 10 percent of the total car- go carried in any case"

Representative Will Intro- duee Bill 10 StreamIine
 War Executives

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Immed- fate Congressional action to abolish the Army, Navy and Marine Corps and substitute for them a single, coordinate fighting force, is urged by Rep. Melvin J. Maas, ranking minority member of the House Naval Committee, and himself a flying and fighting marine colonel just back from a four months tour of duty in the Pacific.
 Maas, Representative from Min nesota, said in an interview today that his experience in combat zones confirmed his opinion that such a step is essential.
 He will soon introduce legislation to put it in effect.
 Moreover, he asserted, Congress should merge the War and Navy de- partments, leaving but one Cabinet officer to represent both, and that the House and Senate should com bine their separate Military and Naval committees into one commit- tee on war.

LEE ASKS
 DRY LAW
 FOR ARMY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Sena- tor Josh Lee of Oklahoma today told his colleagues in the Senate that if they rejected his proposal to prohibit sale of alcoholic drinks at and near Army camps, they might succeed only in flaming the flame of national prohibition"
 Lee urged adoption of his amend ment to the legislation to draft 18- and 19-year- odds to military service after Secretary of the Navy Knox joined Army Secretary Stim- son in opposing the proposal.
 Knox wrote Chairman David Walsh of the Senate Naval Af- fairs committee expressing 'empha- tic objection" to rigid prohibition at naval posts, contending tn It gratifying results" have been ob- tained in obtaining temperance among Navy men by the measures the Navy has already adopted.
 Lee urged his amendment as "a very mild measure"
