Induction Proposals Aim to Boost Manpower in War Services
May described quick action on a bill to draft males and a nurses draft measure as part of Roosevelt’s manpower plan. Backers argue the moves would curb labor turnover by rapid induction into special service units and help replenish labor in critical areas, with director of war mobilization oversight. The bills would bar veterans’ benefits for those drafted into noncombat roles.

About 3,000 small amphibious craft carried troops and waited behind transports until naval gunfire lifted, then assault waves moved onto churned beaches. The armada endured the fiercest air assault seen since January 5 as the enemy attacked the fleet.

Submarines Backed Filipino Guerrillas With Aid and Gum
Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo recalls a clandestine effort during 1942 as U S submarines supplied Filipino guerrillas in Panay and other islands. A covert team landed by submarine brought not only arms but morale and crucial intelligence enabling MacArthur to plan operations for Leyte Mindoro and Mindoro invasions. The Panay resistance produced the radio spark that sustained hope against Japanese control.
