By DAVID WATSON

-Thousands of service men:

. conflict may become eligible

for American Legion membership.

A resolution which would |

open the membership doors to the nation's newest veterans was filed with the Indiana Department's resolutions committee today at the start of the 32d annual convention. A total of! 56 proposals will crowd the ‘dockets for action. No vote on the measures will be taken by Legionnaires today.

An organization charter amend-|

ment was required to permit, World War II vets to enroll in the Legion formed by servicemen of World War I. A similar move would be required for this pro-

convention and passes a national

vote,
