D.A.V.

Out of this sum, the expenses of the fund-raisers amounted to $14,529,000, "administrative costs" ate up another $2,400,000, and $3,837,000 more went for D.A.V. lobbying.

The D.A.V. does maintain 1,800 local chapters, which help veterans, for example, with their claims against the Government.

The D.A.V. campaigns used the names of President Eisenhower, former President Truman, and Generals Omar Bradley and Douglas MacArthur in unauthorized "endorsements," until they were stopped by the threat of a mail-fraud trial.
