Harding College President Predicts War III Not Likely
Dr. George S. Benson of Harding College told Middletown High School and later an American Legion audience that a third world war is unlikely as long as the United States can outproduce global rivals. He noted Russia now dominates 40 percent of the population and will reach about 60 percent in five years, but warned the ideological struggle will shape the era. The Legion dinner for Benson was sold out though extra seats opened for the 7:15 p.m. talk.
