Roswell Urges Air Bases to Guard Nation

The piece also notes defense priorities and cautions about Japan amid wartime tensions. It references flood concerns in the Rio Grande valley and urges renewed federal flood-control efforts, highlighting Army engineer surveys and the need for government action despite defense work.
