Major John W Young explained
Wednesday evening that the $5000
loan in Legion Commander Shirey"s
audit was evidently a matter of
"bookkeeping record."
“The Texas Legionnaire is owned
by the American Legion of Texas."
said Major Young, "and that entry
to evidently a bookkeeping trans-
fer from one fund to another and
that is about all that can be said.”

State adjutant Scruggs was asked
Wednesday night about the $2000
loan that was made to him and he
explained that the loan was made
from the State Commander for
meeting whatever general Legion
expenses might incur in dischar-
ing his duties as Texas State ad-
jutant
He stated that the money came
from the Kerrville hospital fund
and that no securities were given
but that it was merely a demand
note, payable from the general
fund.
Mr. Scruggs stated also that his

balance of $17,000 in the Legion
treasury when ths State took charge
of the hospital.
When the reporter asked Scruggs
for a personal statement about the
hospital fund, he sald he did not
think that the State could claim
the $17,000 as a part of "he hospital .

Yet he did not deny the fact |
that the $17,000 was a part of the
hospital fund.

“It is a serious proposition.” said
Seruggs, "and deserves worthy at*
