 About Munitions Plans
 The State of Missouri and not the ,astern coast line should be the loca- ion of the proposed government mu- itions plant. according to H. A. Bueh- CT, state geologist of Missouri, who gas one of the speakers at the session

 Said NIT. Harder: "The situation in he United States at the present time egarding the supply of manganese res and alloys of manganese is one f great seriousness and is likely to
