War Roads Bill Defends Nation and Decentralizes Defense
In Congress the military roads bill advances with a $185,000,000 plan to fund access roads and air strips, aiming to distribute defense spending beyond traditional centers. The author supports labor cooperation and argues for fair allocation to prevent concentration of industry, noting President Hoover’s veto and the Texas delegation’s stance. The piece also reports youth Billy James Thomas of Waco leaving to join the Royal Canadian Air Force amid wartime calls for action.
