NOTICE OF ELECTION the convenience of the registrant and was intended to allow those persons who had to travel con siderable distances to the offices of their local boards to register while in the vicinity of their local board offices. It is also planned, he said, to eliminate any hard ships to employers or employes in granting time off for registration or in taking farmers away from ' their crops during this season. .It was revealed that a request for permission to conduct the registration according to the plan •announced then was instituted May 28. Assent was granted by telegram Wednesday. The governor’s statement fol lows: “In accordance with a procla mation by President Roosevelt naming July 1 as the day on which all Americans who have at tained the age of 21 years between October 16, 1940, and July 1, 1941, must register under the Selective Service and Training Act of 1940, I have issued a similar proclama tion asking that the people of South Carolina conform to that issued by the President. “However, with the approval of the national director of Selective Service and for the convenience of the people of South Carolina, I have arranged with General Holmes B. Springs, state director of Selective Service, and the mem bers of the state’s local boards, that registration in this state may be conducted at any time between June 16 and July 1 at the offices of the local boards.

Don Robinson FIGURES dizziness The figures on defense produc tion are getting me dizzy. It all depends on what you read, or to whom you listen, whether you get the impression that we are accomplishing production miracles or are just leaning on our shovels between pay days. If production could be measured in terms of dollars appropriated, it would seem as though we ought soon to have a bomber, a tank, a battleship and perhaps a matched set of machine guns for every man, woman and child in Ameri ca. Or at least we should have enough of such equipment to pro tect all Americans against any at tacks by any enemy. So far, unless my adding ma chine got jammed over handling such big numbers, congress has appropriated $41,000,000,000 for our defense and for aid to Britain, most of which is ear-marked to be struction and pay rolls. These latter expenditures are all a necessary part of defense, a! „ large part of them being an in- g p bentley vestment in facilities to make in- Supt.

If they do not Lake advantage of that privilege, ’ they must register on July 1 as proclaimed by the President. All other South Carolinians 21 years of age, whether or not they reached their 21st birthday be tween October 16 and July 1 and who had not reached their 36th birthday on October 16, 1940, must That’s equal to an expenditure of over $1,200 for every family in America, which is a lot of dollars even to a nation which is putting its currency on the powder standard. If we could buy an “arsenal of Democracy” by just -drawing a check for $41,000,000,000 to the order of a reliable arsenal maker we’d be doing all right, but now also register unless they are al-1 that the a pp ro p r i a ti n g se ason is ready on the Selective Service* over our main interest is not in dollars to be spent but in how „ _ long it’s going to be before we the convenience of the young have more planes sh , ps guns and lists. “This action is taken purely for South Carolinians who will come under the Selective Service act and their employers. I realize | that many of these young men PERCENTAGES parachutes than the Axis powers can muster up. • • • will be forced to leave their work to register on any particular date or might have to travel long dis tances to complete their registra tion and that a hardship might be worked both on them and their employers. By registering at their convenience between June 16 and July 1, I believe that such regis tration can be more completely and efficiently perfected with the least possible disruption to the in dustrial, economic and social life misleading The Office for Emergency Man agement has just made its “report to stockholders” (which means you and me) on how much was pro duced during the first year of our defense program, which ended in May. On first reading it all sounds like a rosy picture, but more care ful analysis indicates that some figures are emphasized and others avoided in order to paint a good story. I don’t question the figures which we have been able to pro duce. As closely as I can figure it, in the 12 months ending May 30, we produced 10,000 planes, two bat tleships, one aircraft carrier, three cruisers, 22 submarines, 27 de stroyers (but gave 50 to England) and perhaps 1,000 light tanks plus an increase in rifles, ammuni tion and other smaller armaments. I realize the task of getting all- out production under way is enor mous, and that there may be reasons to consider this a credita ble record, but anyone who thinks all of the recent commotion about production and appropriating bil lions means we are now ready to go out and lick the world, has another guess coming. GERMANY biUions In the conclusion of its report, the Office of Emergency Manage ment admits that progress in the first year of defense has been “largely preliminary to the real production which must come” and that production next year must be at least five times what it was in the last year, or must amount to at least $25,000,000,000. But even that doesn’t mean that we can catch up to Germany for some time. Germany is now spending three billion a month, jr 36 billion a year for armaments, which is three times the rate of production credited to Germany when Nazi armies marched into Poland a year and a half ago. Germany is also getting booty from the countries she has con quered. I’m not taking those figures out of thin air. They too are figures reported by the Office of Emer gency Management and in this case there is no reason for that office to magnify them. Those figures show that during the last year Germany probably added seven times as much equipment to her forces as we did. I don’t think there is anyone in this country who doubts that we can out-produce Germany or any other country in the world when we set our minds to it, but we can’t do it over night and we OF ADMINISTRATION STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick.
