If Boeing's Forced to Transfer
Everett, Wash., Aug 26 '(U.R) The Chamber of Commerce
had proposed today that the nation's capitol be moved from
its "vulnerable position near the Atlantic coast to the mid

to transfer its military work from Seattle to Wichita, Kan.
The resolution pointed out that Washington, D. C, was
saoked and burned in 1812 and "we hate to think of what
might happen next time." They suggested that the capitol
be moved west of the Mississippi river and midway between
the Canadian border and the Gulf of Mexico.
The resolution asked congress to "drop all other matters"
to consider the plan.
