Veterans of Foreign Wars Defeat Resolution on Policy Critics
At Philadelphia the Veterans of Foreign Wars debated a foreign policy censure of groups criticizing the president. The vote was ruled out of order, then tabled and a revised resolution considered. Earl Southard faced seating amid subversive activity charges, rejected by a roll call of 2225 to 261. The session ousted multiple non delegates for voting without authority while a court martial of Southard proceeded.

Navy Makes Heavy Bid For Manpower
The Navy launches its largest peace time manpower drive, aiming for 13 000 new enlistments monthly for the rest of the year and 15 000 thereafter, aided by newspaper advertising. Capt. F E M Whiting cites expanded ads into 13 more states and reports past eight week campaigns doubled enlistments in Missouri, Iowa and Indiana. He notes job opportunities in private industry hinder recruitment while ships and crews are needed faster. The two ocean Navy is slated to be substantially complete by 1944, with the 1942 operating force plan revised to 369 900 enlisted by next June.
