Europe Seen Facing Sharp Reduction In U. S. Food Supplies
Dr. Alonzo G. Grace, state education commissioner, urged a nationwide program of military training and citizen education to bolster national security. Speaking at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon, he argued for rapid conversion of production and comprehensive training of all citizens to defend the nation if needed.
