lUMHinqhii ms IV 1 CON8CRIPTION BILL I Washington, Sept. 7.?-The House liatt ? engaged all this week, since Tuesday morning, In consideration of tjje nurko-Wadsworth Conscription Kill At the time of this writing (Batunlay. 2 p. m.), the final vote on the measure bus not been reached. It is hoped lllul fI,ial aotlou can be taken tonight The principal amendment adopted so far la the Ft ah Amendont, which authorises the President immediately sfter enactment of the bill to call fpr 4O0.000 volunteers front the 18-35 age group for one year enlistment* in the armed forces. If 200,000 men volunteer during the next 60 days, only 200.0**0 would be drafted. If 400,000 men volunteered, none would be drafted. The Fish Amendment may face another teat in the House today or Monday since it was adopted by a teller vote of 185 to 155 vote while the House was sitting as a committee. "Managers of the bill have the right to demand a roll call vote in a formal session of the House, with each' member going on record on the explosive Issue. The House approved a proposal to credit against the draft quota of each State the number of men volunteering during the 60-day period. Thus a State expected to produce 15,000 men as its share of the President's call for 400,000 would need to draft only 5,000 if 10,000 of its citizens had entered the Army 'during the voluntary enlistment drive. This amendment was approved by a standing vote of 133 to 129. The House, also, indirectly approved the principle of conscription of industry when it eliminated a provision from the defense appropriations bill which would have repealed a section of the recently-enacted Navy "speed up" measure empowering the Secretary on Nayy to commandeer industrial plants under certain conditions. The vote was 143 to 75. Should this bill pass without the Fish amendment it is the announced plan of the War Department to hold the first registration day about the middle of October. The blanks and notices and regulations are all ready. Of course, the draft" boards, locAlly organized, must be appointed before that registration day. The first registration will be of men between 21 and 31. a pool containing 12,000,000 I men. The first call to service is calculated to come about the 7th or 10th of November. At that time it is estimated that the first call will use about 75,000 men. Between that time and we will say January 1. additional increments will be called in so that the number callvember and January 1. shall in the aggregate amount to about 400,000. The 400 000 will be taken from the pool of 12.00o.00o?not a very heavy drain i on the manpower. They will not be<sent to great training copters as was the case in the World War, but these men will be >eftr and attached to existing units of' \ - ui? Kexular Army and the National Guard which at that time will be in tiie Federal service and trained wlthj t !ho?p existing units,-- thus training niucii more rapidly than, they would if they were all freshmen in the same class and nothing but freshmen in the class. I On April 1, 1941, it is planned for the War Department to summon another 400,000 men and to assign mosf ot tliem to the Regulars and the guard. The total In the first year under the selective draft is 46 he In the neighborhood of 800,000 men in two segmeats, roughly, of 400,000 each. These added to the Regular Establishment and the guard?and the men are to be soldiers'of the United'States while; they are in training?will by the end of the summer or the early autumn ?f 1941 actually produce the Initial protective force of 1,200,000. That is the quickest it can he done. It will tak- a year. ??;? j Karller Thursday the House gave final approval to the $5,300,000,000 defense bill, carrying appropriations to 8tart construction of a two-ocean Navy, provide equipment for an army! of 2,000,000-men and bty more than! 14,000 planes for the ^rmy and Navy. The measure, bringing this session's defense appropriations and tomtit* ments beyond the $15,000,000,000 maricl now ?oes back to the Senate for final action on minor modifications made by the House. riZEE, BAD ONE DAY FINE THE NEXT % LOOK OUT FOR MALARIA .
