SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. l. 49,
The American Legion paraded
Tuesday for the first time since
Pearl Harbor, and despite its in
fusion with young blood from the
ranks of the GTs it had the ap-
pearance of middle age.
The color and spirit Of old were
there but the step was less poppy.
The paunch was larger, the belt
longer, and sometimes cadence was
lacking.
There was a sprinkling of World
War II veterans in the ranks but
for the most part it was the oldsters
who marched. Even though the
GPs now outnumber the dough-
boys about two to one on the Legion
membership rolls, the youngsters
were somewhere else.
Massed %colors, flashy drum and
bugle corps, many contraptions of
the 40 and 8 and drum majorettes

ed parade traditions.
Ten-MiIe Wind
The paraders bucked a 10-mile
wind up Market street, which was
lined by a crowd estimated by the
Police Traffic Bureau at 200, 600.
The route of march extend about
four miles, ending at the stadium
of the San Francisco Pacific Coast
League Baseball club, where 4 re-
viewing stand was filled with some
of the highest brass Of World War
II.
Notab1es In the stand included
Adm. William F. Halsey, Gen.
Jonathan w. Wainwright, Gen. Carl
Spaatz, Field Marshal Lord Wilson,
Brig. Gen. Frank D. Merrill, head
of the marauders of Burma fame,
and Gen. Lewis B. Hershey.
Gen. Omar Bradley, veterans adj
ministrator who was accused Mon
day on the convention floor by Ma
tional Commander John STEELE of
"breaking the faith" with veterans
over on-the-job training, arrived by
plane and said he probably would
answer the charges in a speech be-
fore the convention Wednesday.
While the show Was going on
other Legionnaires meeting in
committee rooms worked on con-
vention business, foremost of which
was a determination by the lead
ers to head off any projected cur
tailment Of veterans benefits. All
general convention activity was
suspended for the day in favor OF
the parade.
Planes Perform
At the height of the parade the
Navy sent over about 200 planes
