Army Future San Antonio Leaders Discuss Detention of Installations
S A Good Army Future representative Kilday spoke in San Antonio claiming the city is in excellent position for detention of army installations. He said San Antonio uniquely hosts all air bases and medical centers around Fort Sam Houston and that expansion plans for a 1600 bed Brooke General Hospital would make it the largest general hospital in the United States. He projected universal training could yield 44000 medical trainees and pledged at least 12000 regular army troops even without universal training. He also warned that Fort Sam Houston is no longer ideal for fast training needs and that a division may not be stationed there again.

U S Leadership In Danger In Afterwar Global Scene
Karl H von Wiegand argues in a Hearst article that U S leadership faces grave danger in 1946 due to weak postwar policy, lack of popular awareness, and indecision abroad. He warns of rising communism in Europe and the Mediterranean, with France backing Soviet Russia and England needing private enterprise. He likens Soviet policy to a powerful ocean liner steering toward a totalitarian future, while American leadership appears adrift.
