Nebraska State Fair Board, Lincoln, Nebr. Lincoln and Nebraska businessmen were urged Friday by Joe W. Seacrest to attend a meeting of commercial and civic groups interested in promoting defen.se industries in the midwest at Kansas City Aug. 30. Speaking at a joint meeting of the chamber of commerce directors and the Greater Lincoln committee at the Cornhusker hotel, Seacrest said, that the extent to which midwest Industry benefits from the defense contracts will be determined by business itself.

It already is known, Mr. Seacrest reported, that large contracts have or will be placed with mid- dlewestern firms. Some of them will be too large for the contractor to handle, and sub-contracts will be let. That this will be done is anticipated by those in charge of awards made for the production of national defense equipment. A committee to work up interest in the August 30 meeting is to be appointed.

It is hoped that fifty will attend from Lincoln.
