Senate Rejects War Department Ordnance Fund Request
Washington reports the Senate appropriations committee unanimously rejected a 1.347 billion dollar request to buy special ordnance items. Army officials argued the money would fund tanks anti aircraft and other mechanized gear for a potential 3 million man force. Senator Adams argued focus should be on existing equipment and warned much of the proposed gear could be obsolete upon delivery. Undersecretary Patterson urged long term contracts to sustain ordnance firms through 1943 and prevent being caught short if conditions worsen.
