Camp Ritchie Sold By State To U S Government For 2 350 000
The Army took possession of Camp Ritchie Maryland for 2.35 million dollars after the state rejected higher asks. Maryland had sought about 5 million for the Raven Rock Mountain training camp used in World War II. The transfer, confirmed in Baltimore by Major General Milton A Stockard, relocates camp operations and prompts plans for a new National Guard site.

Free Press Held Greatest Asset In Averting War
Haston Md June 2 A free international press can be a major deterrent to the possible outbreak of World War II, said West Virginia Congressman Jennings Randolph at a banquet of Maryland newspaper editors. He urged freedom of news sources worldwide and warned that government controlled reporting could spark general conflict. He also linked lack of press freedom to the spread of communism behind the Iron Curtain.
