Brown Opens Legion Drive For Pensions
Commander Names Legislative Group
Perry Brown, of Beaumont, Tex., American Legion national commander, today fired the opening gun in a Legion campaign to procure old-age rensions for all World War I and II veterans in a speech at the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce appreciation luncheon in the Indianapolis Athletic Club.
“Loyalty must beget loyalty,” Mr. Brown said. “Our government must be loyal to its defenders. It must stand by them when their hour of need comes along as they stood by the government in its hour of stress.”
Urges Pension Extension
Pensions are paid only on a basis of disability, or of age (8o-| cial Securjty), or a combination; of both, Mr. Brown said. He urged that pensions be extended to cover service in war to “take, the terror out of dependent: old age.” A special sub-committee -was| appointed by the national commander as the National Execu-| tive Committee meeting ended] today to put into legislative form the pension plan approved at the national convention in Miami, Fla., in October. The editorial stand taken by, many American newspapers) against the pension plan was derided by Mr. Brown, who said] the editorials were based on mis-| information or lack of information. : Covered by Retirement Plan |
| According to Mr. Brown, many| veterans are not now in occCu-| pations which will enable them to receive Social Security pay-| ments. They are covered by industrial retirement plans. He mentioned the increased pay rates and retirement rates now being) paid to members of the regular| Army. | “The average veteran has no| recourse when in dire need but] to turn to his government,” he concluded.

HAYWARD, Wis, Nov. 22 (UP)—Blinding rain and sleet forced search planes to turn back today and slowed rescue parties hacking their way through ‘a ! dense forest in search of Bobby § Breen, former child singing star ; whose chartered plane was overdue.

The egg market, rolling into the lush holiday trade on price stilts, is about to do a humpty-dumpty. Eggs, soul of the eggnog and holiday baking, were bringing from 77¢ to 83c a dozen today, They were getting so high, grocers said, that housewives are switching back to meat to save money. The trouble started last spring when nobody was thinking much about holiday cookies, three-layer cakes and Tom and Jerrys. Farmers looked over their flocks and decided the egg business was something to get out of. Thinned Flocks Farmers, said a Farm Bureau spokesman, thinned out their flocks. The high price of feed and the low price of eggs all but put the laying flocks out of business. In the meantime meat prices {went up and housewives were
