should have their own organiza- tion rather than merge with their fathers generation and seek to acquire influence in group al- ready pretty firmly moulded.
 The Legion comedies that there is great disparity of social and fraternal interest between World War I and World War II veterans, both because of their differing war memories and because of the huge age gap. But the Legion feels that both should have the same patriotic aims and ideals, and that superficial differences can be overcome by permitting the younger veterans to form their own posts Clocal organizations).
 HELP VETERANS
 So the Legion is making It's as- sistance, including physical facil- ities, available to the World War II veterans, and helping them, where they prefer, to form sep arate posts. Thus far there are "A posts exclusively of veterans of this war. One of the largest is in Memphis, where 428 men and women were taken into membership In a mass ceremony one evening.
 A major reason for believing that the Legion may succeed in corraling a major share of the World War II veterans who join any organization lies in It's ef- ficient machinery for assisting service men to deal with govern
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-02-08

ment red tape-a machinery per- fected over a quarter of a cen- tury that no new organization could possibly duplicate for a long time.
 Such assistance is, the Legion well knows, the best membership argument in the world. The dis charged veteran, physically and mentally and economically of balance, knows that Congress has provided certain benefits. But what are they? For which is he eligible? Where can he find outP To whom does he apply? When government agencies. flooded with such inquiries and applications, bog down, what can the veteran do then?
 The Legion knows It is organ ized from local post up to national headquarters here to solve such problems. It can get World War II veteran through the bu- reaucratic pigeon-holes and into his benefits before any new or ganization could get the applica- ton filed In the right department.
 By making use of It's prestige and It's well-oiled machinery, the Legion hopes to preserve the great lead 1t already has attained over feeble competition, and to become the completely supreme organization of veterans of the two World Wars. As such 1t will possess enormous potential polit- teal power.

American Legion Leads Race
 To Recruit World War II Vets
Membership Drive Helped by Plans To Aid Veterons
* < *
By s. BURTON HEATH NEA Stan Correspondent


 Indianapolis, Feb. 8.-The Ameri- can Legion has made a fast start toward becoming, after this war, the strongest potential pressure group in the United States. As of today the Legion promises to speak In post war years as a voice for almost 15,0OO, 900 veterans of our two World Wars.
 No sensible observer, inside the organization or out, imagInes that the Legion can recruit even as many as half of this vast group into actual dues-paying member ship. If 1t ever signs as many as five millions in one year 1t will have accomplished minor mir acle.
 But experience over the past quarter century shows that where there is one outstanding spokes- man in a group, even though 1t represents only minority, it's voice is taken by politicians as the voice of the entire group. And up to now the Legion is making a runaway of recruitment of those being discharged in this war. It already has signed up a greater percentage of the young veterans than 1t got of World War I men during it's first 10 years of exist ence.
 Not until 1881 did the Legion succeed in bringing as many as one-fourth of It's 1917-18 eligibles into the fold. Then 1t failed to hold that proportion. Yet al- ready, out of some 100000 dis charged in this war, more than 100000 hold Legion cards.
 VFW ACTIVE, TOO
 The Veterans of Foreign Wars claim 60O,000 World War II men. But a vast majority of these are still in uniform, whereas no vet eran is eligible to membership in the Legion until he Is discharged or the war ends. And because the VIEW takes only men with foreign service, while the Legion welcomes anybody who was sworn into service In either World War, the Legion's field of eligibles after the war will be very much larger than that of the VF'W.
 The Disabled American Vet erans claim 75,000 World War II members. But they, too, have a limited field, since they cater to the disabled.
 The Legion's other apparent competition comes from the American Veterans of World War II. Formed in early December by merger of nine tiny groups with total of 2500 members, by late January 1t was only pressing 5000 dues-payerS which is about two per cent of what the Legion could boast.
 The Amvets are proceeding on the theory that the 0-30-y year -old men and women of this war
