Stimson Outlines U S Defense Plans and Lend Lease
Secretary Stimson described a lend lease strategy to shift the United States toward becoming the main buyer and distributor of war materiel. He warned of air invasion risk and noted Britain’s cash-related halt to orders while Kennedy prepared to testify before Congress. He contrasted 1917 production with today’s acute munitions needs and emphasized a centralized purchasing funnel under presidential authority.

Boxing Doesn't Need A Czar at PHILADELPHIA
Boxing regulators in Pennsylvania oppose a federal boxing czar, arguing experienced state commissioners are the solution. Leon Rains, head of the state athletic commission, says boxing problems arise from those who know the sport and participate, not from centralized oversight.
