Warning on America's unprepared defense urged by colonel
Colonel Gromwell Stacey told members of the Charleston Underwriters Association at the Business Men's club last night that the regular army and national guard are far too small due to pacifists and Reds fighting appropriations. He urged training and unity to defend West Virginia and cited the need to staff the guard at standard strength, recalling his reserves’ experience in France and the Philippines. Governor Gore attended briefly, stressing hydro electric power and regional road projects as part of defense readiness.
