Paul Griffith. national commander
of the American Legion. said in an
interview in New York last Sunday
that the United States should send
troops to aid Greece if that coun-
try is invaded.
Mr.. Starr said powerful air
force will insure peace for our coun-
try because Russia will not fight If
she knows our air force is stronger
than the Red air force"
He told the President that the
purpose and theme of his organiza-
tion's annual meeting at Cleveland
September 40 will be Peace through
the creation of this air force. in

He gave the President copy Of a
resolution calling for American air
supremacy which he said will be in
