Johnson has reported that participation by minorities in purchase of property owned by the Veterans Administration has increased by some 9 percent during the past year. Johnson said minorities accounted for 35 percent of the sales throughout the nation in December of last year compared with 26 percent in December, 1968. According to Johnson, the majority of sales of VA properties in the large urban areas of Baltimore, Jersey City and Newark, during the month of December were made to Negroes. High rates of sales, exceeding 50 percent, were registered in many of the large urban centers in the east, midwest, far west and south. Factors accounting for increased minority participation were stepped up emphasis generally, and particularly in VA loan guaranty service, on the non- discrimination aspects of the program. Johnson also attributed improved economic conditions prevailing among minorities for their increased participation in the purchase of VA owned properties. -alns- U.S.A. "Unity and Service for America" QMERICAN LEGION NEWS SERVICE NATIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS DIVISION—THE AMERICAN LEGION C. D. DeLoach, Chairman James C. Watkins, Director HEADQUARTERS P. O. Box 1055 1608 KSt., N. W. Indianapolis, Indiana 46206 Washington, D. C. 20006 (317) 635-8411 (202) 393-4811 For release 3-6-70 WASHINGTON—(ALNS)—In testimony before the House Veterans Affairs Committee, American Legion National Commander J. Milton Patrick reiterated the Legion's stand for a just and honorable peace in Vietnam, and called for continued Congressional support to insure an adequate Veterans Administration Medical and Hospital care budget for fiscal year 1971. Expressing the deep concern of The American Legion with current and projected funding for the V.A, medical and hospital programs, Commander Patrick pointed out that 'if the Veterans Administration does not have, or is not permitted to use, sufficient funds to carry on its medical and hospital programs, then this nation is not going to have a medical program for veterans that is second to none. "The American Legion continues to receive reports from the field indicating that all is not veil in V.A. hospital facilities." He pointed out such items as "non-activated beds- special care units for heart, kidney, surgical, blind and other life sustaining facilities and equipment that have not been activated; shortages of vitally needed equipment, and lack of critically needed hospital personnel," resulting in the fact that there are "veterans who are not being treated by the Veterans Administration who need and are entitled to treatment." Commander Patrick expressed particular concern over "what seems to be a long-range program to phase out the tremendous medical and hospital program of the Veterans Administration," citing statistics showing a decline in occupied hospital beds and daily patient census in V.A. hospitals from 1958 to the present. The Legion Chief also recommended increased compensation for service disabled veterans to meet the inflationary spiral, and other legislation for raising annual income limitations and liberalizing rates under the Death and Disability Pension, Dependent Parents Indemnity, and Dependency and Indemnity provisions of law. In concluding his testimony before the House Committee, the Legion Commander requested programs for increasing the amount of Servicemen's Group Life Insurance and provisions of a National Service Life Insurance program for Vietnam Veterans. He further recommended an increase in the allowance payable by the V.A. toward the burial and funeral expense of a veteran. Rep. Olin E. Teague, of College Station, Texas, Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs presided at the committee session. Commander Patrick, who outlined the Legion's current legislative objectives before a capacity crowd of Legion leaders from every state in the Union and several foreign countries , was congratulated by the chairman and members of the Committee on the conciseness of the report. Many of the Committee members used such terms as "modest" in commenting on the Legion's legislative proposals and promised their support of the program. -alns- □ MERICAN LEGION NEWS SERVICE NATIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS DIVISION —THE AMERICAN LEGION C.

Wilson, National Director or The American Legion Security-Foreign Relations Division told Kansas Legionnaires at their Mid-Winter Forum here. "By action of the National Executive Committee of The American Legion in November, our organization stated its belief that the course President Nixon had chosen is a reasonable one, perhaps the only solution short of resuming all-out war against North Vietnam as called for in resolution 2U0, unanimously adopted by the Atlanta National Convention in Aug., 1969," the Legion security director pointed out. "The American Legion is watching the situation in Vietnam intently. We share the President's feeling that if Hanoi increases the level of combat the United States should not hesitate to take strong and effective measures to deal with that situation," he added. "The decade ahead, during which the United States of America celebrates its 200th birthday, could determine the destiny of freedom for centuries to come. Today, while the Soviet Union builds all elements of its armed forces, there is a rising cry from elements in our society, even in the halls of Congress, for unilateral disarmament,1' Wilson continued. The Legion security director said The American Legion must make its voice heard in behalf of modern, strong military forces until the climate of world conditions makes the outlook for genuine peace more promising than they appear now. "Veterans know from experience the defense of this great heritage founded upon freedom has never been and never will be perpetuated without pain, or struggle, or of individual and collective concern and effort. This truth must be faced by every generation, in every year and in every day of the life of this nation and society," he concluded. -alns- 0MERICAN LEGION NEWS SERVICE 04b NATIONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS DIVISION—THE AMERICAN LEGION C.

"Knowing your dedication to God and Country, it pains me beyond this illness that now prevents me from being present to accept the honor that you were so graciously about to bestow upon me. Gentlemen, I pledge to you that when health permits it at a later date, I shall give to you my fullest devotion and full measure of my talent.

  • Red' Skelton and Clem Kadiddlehopper
    Red’Skelton and Clem Kadiddlehopper Wes D.Gehring* “Things have sunk lower than a snake’s belly” [a popular comment by Red Skelton’s Clem Kadiddlehopperl. Newspaper journalist John Crosby in 1952: “How [comically] stupid can you get?” Skelton: “I don’t know. I’m still pretty young.”’ From the books of George Ade, Kin Hubbard, and Will Cuppy to the television work of Herb Shriner and David Letterman, Indi- ana’s humor has long entertained the nation. But Red Skelton’s more-than-fifty-year reign as a Hoosier comedy artist of national significance and his ongoing ties to the state-particularly as his character Clem Kadiddlehopper-place him in a peerless position among Indiana comedians. Since the 1930s Red, fittingly, has achieved success in every medium that he has attempted, including vaudeville, radio, television, and motion pictures. The cornerstone of the comedian’s career is the unprecedented twenty-year televi- sion run (1951-1971) of his variety show. All artists’ backgrounds provide special insights into their work, but there seems to be a unique fascination with the biogra- phies of humorists. Clowns comically comfort audiences with their physical and spiritual resilience. In addition, society seems espe- cially spellbound with the clown chronicle that reveals tragic roots-the ability to provoke laughter despite personal sadness. Once again Skelton is in a unique category among Indiana humorists, for he survived the harshest of childhoods. His circus clown father died an alcohol-related death before Red was born, and as a youth he endured tattered clothing, taunts about his “Wes D.

  • The History of CBS New York Television Studios: 1937-1965
    1 The History of CBS New York Television Studios: 1937-1965 By Bobby Ellerbee and Eyes of a Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgements This is the first known chronological listing that details the CBS television studios in New York City. Included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes of a Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to CBS Television theaters. This compilation gives us the clearest and most concise guide yet to the production and technical operations of television’s early days and the efforts at CBS to pioneer the new medium. This story is told to the best of our abilities, as a great deal of the information on these facilities are now gone…like so many of the men and women who worked there. I’ve told this as concisely as possible, but some elements are dependent on the memories of those who were there many years ago, and from conclusions drawn from research. If you can add to this with facts or photos, please contact me, as this is an ongoing project. Eyes of a Generation would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present CBS people that helped, but most especially to television historian and author David Schwartz (GSN), and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first-hand knowledge, photos and help. Among the distinguished CBS veterans providing background information are Dr. Joe Flaherty, George Sunga, Dave Dorsett, Allan Brown, Locke Wallace, Rick Scheckman, Jim Hergenrather, Craig Wilson and Bruce Martin. This presentation is presented as a public service by the world’s ultimate destination for television’s living history…The Eyes of a Generation.
