State highway outlays face questionable returns
Communities may have benefited from the nearness of cantonments or other bar activity centers in the State, but it is doubtful if the returns are commensurate with the vast outlays shown to be necessary for highway work.
New Program Restricts Overseas Troops to Trained Men
The plan calls for trained troops to be sent overseas with six months of prior American soil training. Cantonments will be enlarged to accommodate thousands more. The shift ends the earlier policy of rushing troops abroad after only three weeks of training and relies on a larger, better prepared fighting force.
