Patriotic Holiday on May 1st Is
Urged by Overseas Veterans


Commander McClyment of the
decentralization Post No. 1901
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
urged at the meeting Monday,
March 3, 1947 the adoption of May
1 as National Loyalty Day.
This proposal is in conformity
with a resolution of the National
Encampment of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars advocating estab-
lishment of May 1 as National
Loyalty Day and requesting the
President to proclaim it a legal
holiday" McClyment declared.
The resolution pointed to the OBJ
servance by a subversive group
of the country as May 1 of each
year as day for jealous promo
ton of their ideals and ideologies
which are inmical to the well-being
of the United Sttaes, McClyment
said.
"The Veterans of Foreign Wars
desires to set aside one day each
year during which loyal Americans
may reflect on-through appropri-
ate patriotic ceremonies - those
ideals of democracy which have.
borne this nation through its past
struggles with tyranny" he said.

commission ere checking their
records for data on the aerody-

its subsidiaries. Aerodynamics
was chartered here in 1871 as a
non-profit organization working in
behalf of scientists and chemists.
But it turned out that Aerody-
namlcS was the parent company

SIGNAL groups interested in aerody-
namics and its affiliates are the
House Merchant Marine commit
tee and the Senate War Investi-

The Merchant Marine commit
tee wants to find out why the
Maritime commission awarded a
ship repair contract to the Ken
sington Shipbuilding & Drydock
company, of Philadelphia, an
Aerodynamics subsidiary, without
determining whether Kensington
was a responsible company. Ken
sington has been unable to fulfill
ITS contract.

committee has asked the Navy for
