CMIPATNICATION To the City Council South Bend, Ind. Gentlemen- UNITED SPANISH WAR VETERANS Harry 0. Perkins Camp No. 25 June 18th, 1942 Harry 0. Perkins Camp "U.S.W.V. is conducting a campaign to induce the Navy -Dent. to name one of the new cruisers of the U.S. Navy "South Bend" in honor of our city. We are contacting organizations and individuals in an effort to secure their support and cooperation in this movement. So far the response has been very gratifying. We believe South Bend is entitled to this recognition because of its historical background, its importance as an industrial and commercial center; and the great amount of war supplies turned out by its industries large and small. Its sons are serving in the armed forces of the U.S. in every land and on every sea; and its citizens are contribut- ing freely of their efforts and substance in the fight for liberty. Indiana has had only two cruisers named in honor of her cities; namely the Indianapolis and the Vincennes; one in central and the other in the south part of the state; so the north section of the state is due for recognition in this matter. May we hope that your honorable body will add your support and cooperation in this movement by drawing up some form of resolution or petition addressed to the Hon. Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy, requesting that one of the new cruisers be named for our city. Thanking you for whatever aid you may be able to render in support of this movement we remain Very truly yours Cruiser "South Bend" Committee Frank A. Smith, Chairman 141.8 Marine St., South Bend, Ind. Councilman Bishop made a motion that the record show that the communication had been accepted, placed on file, and concurred with.
