LEGION COMMITTEE
: FATE IN BALANCE
Organization to Have No Gov
r orning Body Unless Stato
Charter Is Ratified
The fate of the PhiladclohU county
.committee of the American Legion Is
again hanging in the balance.
As a result of the successful conduct
of the first legion field meet on Frank
lin field Saturday a substantial sum
-Vill be turned over to the treasurer of
the county committee ns its portion of
the proceeds. Sixty per cent of all
))' funds realized from the sale of
."Veta will be remitted to the respective
posts according to the proportion of
sties.
The athletic committee has been car
rying the expense of the legion county
headquarters, at 1011 Chestnut street,
but Is not obligated to do so beyond the
time required to wind up the business
Incident to the Held day. The question
as to whether the county headquarters
shall be closed must be decided by the
county committee nt Its meeting Wed
nesday evening. October 0. in the
Chamber of Commerce assembly room.
Must Wind up Work
i The existing county organization will
ceatiC" to function as soon ns the new
state constitution has been ratified and
a district deputy has been appointed bv
David J. Davis, the department com
mander, to take charge of legion offaira
In Philadelphia. The district deputy,
although greatly in need of clerical as
sistance and an office from which to
orerate, will not be permitted under
the constitution to utilize the headquar
ters, which could be maintained only
from funds of the present county com
mittee. The only money which may be paid
to the deputy is for truveling expenses,
which in Philadelphia would amount I
to a very few dollars n week for trolley i
fare.
It has been announced" by depart
ment headquarters that the new con
stitution will have been ratified by
October 1, and the deputy commander
who will have charge of the seventy- .
six posts in Philadelphia county will '
be named immediately nfter the na- ,
tional convention in Cleveland. Unless i
three-fifths of the posts, representing
three-fifths of the total paid-up mem
bership In Philadelphia county, request
the department commander to call for
the organization of a county committee
in Philadelphia, there will be no such
organization shortly after the middle of
October, according to present indica
tions. Tost Plans Party
