Prospects Dim for Year Round Use of Camp McCoy
Sparta mayor Ralph Osborne and the Sparta Area Chamber of Commerce pressed lawmakers Vernon Thomson and Gaylord Nelson for consideration to base some units permanently at Camp McCoy. They argued facilities exist for full year operation, but Congressman Thomson replied that other camps serve full time and no new camps are planned. Tomah leaders push McCoy as a training base for about 60,000 volunteers unfit for regular service, but economy moves are expected to prevent permanent use.
