ENTER WORLD COURT, URGES LEGION BOARD Resolution Adopted by National Committee Meeting Here. Resolution urging entrance of the United States into the world court was adopted by the American Legion national executive committee, meeting here today at national headquarters. The resolution, passed unanimously, was referred to the legion's committee on world relations. Discussion of the proposed referendum on the eighteenth amendment, favored by the legion by a vote of 1,008 to 394 at the Detroit convention, was to be a high light of the committee meeting, with recommendations that would pave the way for the submission of the prohibition question to the states. Can Call Convention “Congress can call for a constitutional convention, or it can repeal 'lie eighteenth amendment and submit such repeal to the state for their approval,” John T. Taylor, vice-president of the national legislative committee, said. “Any modification of the present law would mean a modification of the Volstead law, which can be done by congress any time it sees fit.” Definite stand against hospitalisation of veterans in civilian hospitals as urged by the American Medical Association, was taken Monday by Watson B. Miller, national rehabilitation chairman. “It would be difficult for the veterans’ administration to compel these institutions to make the frequent examinations required by law,” he said. Three Major Activities Education, youth activities and community service will constitute (he three major activities in the 1932 legion program. A report of Ihe national Americanism commission outlining these objectives was approved by the national executive committee. The educational program for the 10,000 legion posts will include promotion of citizenship schools for the foreign-born, vocational guidance and education, physical education, flag education and study of the Constitution of the United States. Placing of Americanism speakers in schools and colleges is a contemplated measure. Dates for Convention Dates for the 1932 convention in Portland, Ore., have been set as Sept. 12 to 15. Announcement was made at the session of the award by the Moynahan Construction Company of subcontracts for interior decoration of the Indiana War Memorial. Contracts were for statutory, iron work, plastering, marble, hardware, painting, wiring and elevators. Contracts were awarded to city firms in all but one instance. LIQUOR VOTE SOUGHT Minnesota House Member Drafting Bill for Congress. By Bcrippa-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—-Be-cause he believes that the people must be given a chance to vote on the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act, Representative August Andersen (Rep., Minn.) today said he would introduce in the next congress a resolution providing for submission of constitutional amendments to direct vote of the people. While his proposed amendment could not bring about a special election on the liquor question, without direction by congress, Andresen believes this could be accomplished shortly, by means of a congressional resolution directing states to report.
