Army Leaders to Tour Parsons Ordnance Plant
A delegation of top U S Army officials will visit the Kansas Ordnance plant at Parsons on June 13 to discuss converting the facility to modern ordnance production. The group will include Frank H Higgins and two generals plus two colonels, with Kansas senators Schoeppel and Carlson, Rep M W George, and Republican committeeman Harry Darby. The visit, tied to defense efforts and southeast Kansas employment, follows the May 25 announcement that the plant would be reactivated for 105 millimeter artillery shell production, employing about 400 workers after a prior wartime peak of 5,800.
