At Odds With VA For the first time since 1918, the Legion finds itself .on the outside J looking in on Uncle Sam. Not only ® a Is it at odds with the veterans adbY ministration, but with the war department, | Secretary Patterson had not con- | cluded his speech before the Legion convention asking support for his Six-months’ military training pidn. before Stelle aids were passing out press releases announcing the Legion would fight for four menths. War department aids say Mr. Stelle prepared the statement days in advance without giving delegates an opportunity to debate the question. The Stelle-Bradley feud started with the former commander's letter to congress last Feb. 1, charging a “tragic breakdown” in the veterans administration. Mr. Stelle said Gen. Bradley should resign—this was six months after Gen. Bradley became veterans administrator,

Eisenhower Supports Bradley

Leaders of rival veterans’ organizations, the press and official Washington rushed to Gen. Bradley's banner, Gen. Eisenhower. announced he would go the limit for his friend. American Legion posts by resolution condemned their na-! tional commander dnd supported Gen. Bradley. From the White House, Legionnaire Harry S. Truman, delegate to national conventions from 1838 through 1944, told the nation: “Gen. Bradley has my complete and unqualified support. The President does,not feel Mr. Stelle is speaking for the American Legion. The President considers Gen. Bradley has done a fine job... in other words, he is backing Gen. Bradley to the hilt.” t Mr. Stelle said he had “just begun to “fight,” but 48 hours later apparently routed, he said he had ron never asked for Gen. Bradley's resig- | nation in the first place. { Tempers Boil J » On Feb. 16 Mr, Stelle invited Gen. | Bradley to a Legion executive com- | mittee meeting in Indianapolis. He promised a “respectful hearing.” Sarcastically, Gen. Bradley shot | back: “I did not think I could be tried \ by anyone except hy order of the . President of the United States or by! congress . . . I am responsible to all veterans, the people represented by congress and the President , , , I| refuse the invitation.” Tempers boiled again at San Francisco when Mr, Stelle criticized | the Bradley-sponsored ceilings on | job training. Gen. Bradley stalked | to the Legion's rostrum charging Mr, | Stelle did not speak for the veterans as a whole but for a “privileged few” with high income. Progress in veterans affairs for the last year has come in spite of--not because of— the Legion commander, he said. Legion king-makers hope the new commander will do better.

IT'S just possible—that somewhere on this tortured but hopeful Earth—there may be scenic splendors to surpass

"October in Indiana." But we doubt it very much!

show! Nature has blessed. Indiana with noble trees—that become golden and burnished and waving under October skies—maples and oaks—birches and beeches, sycamores—nhickory and walnut. Here Nature seems to be in her most flaming, her most extravagant mood . . . as though pitting one gorgeous view against another—forming a breath-taking mosaic.

Thats' why Indianians -enjoy living out of doors!

We are rather reluctant to bring a "commercial '—into a scenic picture of such grandeur—we shall try to make it brief and helpful—merely a reminder— that the clothes that aid in the enjoyment of "October in Indjgnha"— and thtoughout the winter—{and future Octobers in Indiana—and future winters)—are ready and they're Fine!
