Ordnance Chief Takes Steps to Keep U.S. Safe
Major General C C Williams, chief of ordnance, told a House committee that the department will maintain vast stocks to prevent unpreparedness. He cited 3,760,000 rifles, 2,000,000,000 rounds of ammunition and artillery ammo to supply 48 divisions for six months, plus other equipment. He asked for 1 million dollars to ship ammunition from France or Algeria and to take over new war plants for rapid activation. He also sought 500,000 dollars for tank experiments, noting armor has limited value and body armor trials were only partly successful.
