The suit, filed nearly a year ago. attracted statewide attention, be cause It was said to have been the first of Its kind In Nebraska. The legion contended that the money was intended for ex-service men only and was not he be used for any other pur lxiscs. To prove that this was the spirit of the donors, they submitted the proposition to a popular straw vote.
