Troops to Stay at Fort Harrison Through Winter
Senator Arthur R. Robinson and Representative Ralph E. Updike secured assurance from Army Chief of Staff Major General C. P. Summerall that no troops will move from Fort Benjamin Harrison this winter. The War Department considered relocating a battalion and a tank platoon to Camp Knox, Kentucky due to barracks conditions. Local groups urged retention, arguing it cheaper to rehabilitate than abandon the Indiana post, with plans to ensure $300,000 for permanent improvements by July 1 and to conduct temporary repairs soon.
