We are involved in. world affairs right up to the hilt. To retreat is to invite defeat, chaos and world anarchy. “We dare not cast aside our friends in our haste to come to grips with those we think to be enemies.” Stresses Peace Need

Three things— justice, liberty, and freedom of worship—are more precious than peace, Mr. McNutt said. Anything else can be sacrificed to prevent future wars. While the world divides into ideological camps, he said, detonators of new world conflict can be seen wherever the eye turns— Greece, China, Palestine, Trieste, Turkey. We must waste no time entrenching ourselves wherever possible, he said. Meanwhile, interest in the imminent state legion election continued to center around the bid of a world war II veteran for the post of state commander and the battle of two older legionnaires for the top spot. As the convention moved into its third day, three candidates intensifled campaigns. for the top state post. They were: Walter P. Shaw of Wabash and Harold E. Morris of Gary, both veterans of the first world ‘war, and Irvin C., Appmann

Mr. Appmann entered the race in open revolt against what he called the “cut and dried” leadership of older veterans. He is one of the organizers and a past commander of the Ernie Pyle post at Bloomington. ? Bobbitt Flays Reds
