Legion Planning
 New insurance Plan

A new insurance plan for mem bers of the American Legion as being presented on nation wide basis, with all Legion Posts eligible to participate. The plan. which IS now taking shape, K subject to final approval, and will be administered by National Headquarters in Indianapolis Members wishing insurance will send applications and payments directly to National Headquart- CTS, local Post officers will not be required to handle either.
 The plan, as proposed, would provide group insurance at a flat rate of SIP per year. The pre- mium would remain the same and the amount of coverage would decrease with the age Of the in dividual. The amount of cover age, including age 34 is $4,000s from age 35-44, $2,250; 45-54, $l, 100, 55-59, $500; 60-64; $400; 65-- |69, $25O; insurance terminates ak age TO.
 The reduced amount of cover age at increased age levels would apply individually. The alterna- tive to reducing the coverage with age would be to charge a substantially higher rate for all, or to increase the premiums steeply with age. The Committee approved the reducing form Df plan.
 The insurance would be on an annual basis, with the same an nual payment deadline for all members. The insurance would be available only to Legion mem bers and to remain insured in subsequent years, each insured member must be a paid-up mem Der of the Legion for the cur rent policy year.

 completed by the Insuror and the

Penfagon Bill
IsApproved

The House Armed Services
Committee today formally APP
proved a Pentagon reorganiza-
ton bill that President Eisen-
hover says must be changed in
important ways.
BY a $40 vote, the commit
tee sent the measure toward
the House floor, where admin
istration forces hope to offer
major amendments.
The committee had approved
a bill identical to the meas
ure adopted today in another
unanimous vote late last week
Mr.. Eisenhower, in a letter
to Committee Chairman Vim
son, indicated general approval
of the bill, but said he wanted
two quite important" changes.
These changes involve ~
an objection to language main
tanning the separate identity
and administration, under the
Secretary of Defense, of the
three military departments.
and CD the Presidents desire
for a more complete voice over
the rolls and missions to be
assigned the Army, Navy and
Air Force.
The House committee bill,
which Mr.. Vinson called a
compromise with the Admin
istration, gives President Eisen-
hover legislative assistance in
carrying out his plan to
streamline the military chain
of command and to centralize
authority over research and
development of new weapons
systems.
But unlike the Presidents
proposal, the committee bill
adds significant safeguards
against the possibility of the
establishment of a single chief
of staff or an all-powerful ma
tional general staff.

quashing OF a treason indict-
ment against him.
Mr.. Frost was a latecomer
10 the worldwide organized
literary agitation to free Mr..
Pound. who made wartime
broadcasts over the Fascist
radio in Italy. But he was un-
questionably the man who ac-
complished what Archibald
MacLeish. Ernest Hemingway
and T. S. Eliot had tried.
Friends Of Mr.. Pound. know
ing Mr.. Frost to be POLITICALLY,
politically and personally. above
reproach, prevailed upon him
TO plead their cause.
Got Early Boost by Pound
Mr.. Frost had reason to be
grateful to Mr.. Pound. Forty
five years ago, when Mr.. Frost
was a success in England but
unpublished in America, Ezra
Pound, always generous with
other talents, approximately
brought Mr.. Frost's poetry TO
the notice of American pub
fishers.
Acknowledging the debt, Mr..
Frost lent not only his prestige
but his time to the Pound
cause. Persistent rumors say he
went to another Yankee, Sher-
man Adams, in the White
House and thus set in motion
the wheels that led TO Mr..
Pounds freedom last month.
Although a New Highlander
in his speech and poetry, Mr..
Frost was born in San Fran
cisco, on March 20, 1874. After
