For five days St. Paul, Minnesota, high on the hills above the Mississippi, took on a wartime atmosphere with the arrival of two thousand Veterans of Foreign Wars who settled down here for their thirtieth national encampment. Of some two hundred resolutions offered during the encampment the first, occupying four days of the convention, called for adequate national defense: a separate air force, adequate air defense, retention of the Citizens' Military Training Corps, the building up of a national guard composed of youth trained in the corps.
