D. DeLoach, Chairman James C. Watkins, Director HEADQUARTERS P. O. Box 1055 1608 KSt., N. W. Indianapolis, Indiana 46206 Washington, D. C. 20006 0 (317) 635-8411 (202) 393-4811 For release 8-2-74 WASHINGTON—(ALNS)—The American Legion has reaffirmed its total support of the Senate version of the Vietnam veteran GI Bill package presently in a joint House- Senate Conference Committee. In a statement released from his Washington office, National Commander Robert E.L. Eaton expressed keen disappointment that Tuesday's meeting of the Conference Committee had been cancelled and that the members have been unable to meet and come up with a bill that will give the Vietnam veteran an opportunity during the coming school year to obtain the education that he needs. The Commander said, "As a Congressionally chartered organization of war veterans, The American Legion is larger and more representative of the ex-servicemen and women of this Nation than all the other veterans organizations combined. Hundreds of thousands of our members are veterans of the Vietnam era. These fine young citizens, along with millions of their fellow Vietnam veterans, are looking to The American Legion, as always, to see to it that their voice is heard on Capitol Hill. They are depending on The American Legion to keep the faith and obtain for them the benefits to which they are entitled." Eaton added, "The American Legion will continue the struggle and solicits the support of other veterans organizations in this endeavor. I urge the Members of the Conference Committee to meet without further delay and take action necessary to provide these deserving young veterans with educational and employment opportunities adequate to meet today's needs." -alns- INDIANAPOLIS—(ALNS)—Sen. Vance Hartke, chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs, and Rep. William Jennings Bryan Dorn, chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, are slated to address joint meetings of The American Legion's Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation, Legislative and Economic Commissions during the Legion's 56th Annual National Convention in Miami Beach, Fla., Aug. 16-22. These American Legion Commissions, concerned with the well-being of the Nation's veterans, are, as is the entire American Legion, vitally interested in current veterans' legislation which apparently now must be resolved by a conference committee, which would provide greater educational benefits to Vietnam era veterans attending school under provisions of the revised G.I. Bill of Rights. The American Legion has been advocating and supporting legislation that would assist the Vietnam era veteran with costs of tuition, fees and books, in addition to his subsistence. -alns- MINNEAPOLIS, MINN . — (ALNS)—Glenn Dornfield, 45, Minnesota National Executive Committeeman of The American Legion, died July 27 here. A Korean War veteran, he also served as Department Commander of the Minnesota American Legion in 1971-72. -alns- 01S9 QMERICAN LEGION NEWS SERVICE NATIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS DIVISION—THE AMERICAN LEGION C.

C. 20006 (317) 635-8411 (202) 393-4811 For release 8-2-74 INDIANAPOLIS —(ALNS)—American Legion Baseball's first graduate elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame, who was one of the fastest pitchers of all time; a former Major League catcher, who in 1968, established a National League record for double plays in one season for that position; and Major League's first black umpire, will be featured speakers at the Ford Motor Company-American Legion Baseball Banquet. The Banquet will be held in Douglas Hall, Douglas County Fairgrounds, Roseburg, Ore., on Aug. 21, at 7:30 p.m., prior to the 1974 American Legion Baseball World Series. Bob Feller, American Legion Baseball graduate from Van Meter, Iowa, who became the strike-out king of baseball during 18 seasons with the Cleveland Indians, will be one of the three baseball figures to address the banquet. Known as "Rapid Robert," Feller once (1938) struck out 18 Detroit Tigers in a 9-inning game but lost the contest. He pitched three no-hit games, and set a season strike-out record of 348 in 1946. Sandy Koufax broke the record in 1965. Although famous for his fast ball, Feller also had a sharp-breaking curve and late in his career adopted a slider, mixing up his assortment of deliveries. He led the American League in strikeouts in seven seasons (1938-1941, 1946-1948). He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. Another speaker, Tom Haller, former Major League catcher who got his start playing Legion ball on the John Olson Post 18 team in Lockport, 111., is also scheduled to address the banquet. Haller was an outstanding catcher with the Giants from 1962 to 1967. During that period he was named to three National League All Star teams—1966, 1967, and 1968.
