Legion Convention Hears Gov. Warren Snyder And Green Also Speak Today Miami. Fla. Oct. 20 — (UP)— Gov. Earl Warren of California told the American Legion today that he was proud of America for developing a non-partisan foreign policy which will survive " a change of national leadership." The Republican candidate for vice-president, speaking as a delegate from California from the same 'rostrum where President Truman addressed the Legionnaires Mon- ' day as a delegate from Missouri, said he was honored "to share in your program with our comrade, the president of the United States." "I am proud of my country because it has taken the first steps to establish American foreign policy that is above partisanship." he said, "and not subject to change every time there is a change of na'tonal leadership.” He supported the Legion demand for universal miliary training, warning that no part of the country would Im* immune from a fut ure war. "Every American should lie trained to do his part in the protection of his home as well as his nation." he said, "and until we do have universal military training there will be a weakness in the armor of America, regardless of the strength of our armed forces.” Except for add esses by secretary of the treasury John Snyder and American federation of labor president William Green, the Legion today devoted its time to pre parations for tomorrow's election of office! s and policy matters. Snyder told the l-egion the federal budget "picture for the year to not MM-ourag.ng." "Tp'yut is btiefly. we are in the red again." he said "The bureau of the budget estimates that the government faces an opera'ing deficit for this fiscal year of a billion and a half dollars. That can mean but one thing: "We shall not be able to go on re during the public debt during the cTwrc. T. Paa* Klahn Services Saturday For Pfc. C. Shady The b dy of Pfc.
