...Last spring, with the potent help of a White House message, he persuaded Congress to meet the principal deficiency -in anti-aircraft equipment. In Malin Craig's last year the army is spending or allotting $23,000,000 for 230 modern, mobile anti-aircraft guns, with supplementary searchlights, target detectors, etc. etc. Another $30,000,000, he says, will give the U. S. enough anti-aircraft equipment for immediate requirements.
