"United States Senators Dennis Chavez of New Mexico (left) and Hugh A. Butler of Nebraska watched a St. Louis girl turning out finished .30-caliber machine-gun bullets at the small arms ammunition plant in northwest St. Louis yesterday. This is the first photo taken of actual production at the $100,000,000 plant. It was snapped during an inspection trip by 16 United States Senators and four Congressmen."
