Closing Armory Sparks City Mayor Critique of Private Industry
Springfield Mayor Charles V. Ryan condemned the McNamara plan to close the 171 year old Springfield Armory arguing that reliance on private industry for munitions production is flawed after a walkout at Olin-Mathieson Co. He noted orders for armory munitions rise as Vietnam war demands grow and said industry cannot or will not shoulder the burden. Rep Boland said a plan meeting with Sen Kennedy's Boston office will seek to reverse the closing order.
