Texas seeks war cost refund from federal government
Texas will press for $250000 in war costs claimed against the federal government. Attorney General W M Keeling said Senator A Morris Sheppard will introduce a bill in Congress to provide the refund. The Texas Legislature appropriated nearly $1 million for war purposes, with about $250000 used for ranger home force, military pay, subsistence, and the state defense council. The effort follows a war time order for repayment in kind. Keeling has audited accounts and negotiated with the War Department for two years.
