Defense Spending
Ohio firms received $3.2 bill
lion for goods and services sold
to the United States Depart
ment of Defense in the past
three years, according to the
Bulletin of Commerce" publish
ed by the Ohio Field Offices of
the U. S. Department Of Com
merce. This does not take into
account the millions Of dollars
of subcontracting generated in|
Ohio by prime contractors To-
Gated in other states, nor does
it cover civilian government pur-
chases. More supplies, services,
and construction contracts were
let in Ohio by the military dur
ing the first half Of fiscal 1859
than for the same period of 1858.
This was the reverse of the sit

where a decline was registered
in total military procurement
