Pantex Ordnance Plant is locat-

It was anounced recently that
part of $37,000,000 ear-markea 10
national defense will be used to
re-activate Amarillo Army Air
Field. A total of $18,000,000,000
has been set aside for immediate
expansion of the field. Most of the
temporary buildings have been re-
moved and the base will have to
be rebuilt.
Pantex has been surveyed by the

millions of dollars invested there
during the last World War, it was
obvious that such gigantic sums
should not be lost in case of ano-
ther emergency.
