Senator Morris Sheppard Honors Fort Sam Visit in San Antonio
United States Senator Morris Sheppard visited San Antonio for a public banquet at the Gunter hotel hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. Nearly seven hundred citizens attended to praise his efforts for Fort Sam Houston and the enlargement of the army and navy. He noted San Antonio as a strategic city and a natural site for a major army post, and he emphasized his role on the Senate military committee. The piece contrasts his views with Rep. James L. Slayden's resignation from the House military committee and vote to reduce the army. The event revived local discourse on the San Antonio Express stance toward city progress.
