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bill which would have repealed a section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.
