Benefits for Families Are Assured
The House passed a bill to provide financial support for soldiers dependents and to keep the home intact as a policy. A separate measure would raise armed forces pay to at least 50 dollars monthly to aid dependents, awaiting President Roosevelt signature. The draft amendment allows deferment for married men with bona fide family ties, prioritizing the home over manpower limits, and reclassifications will follow.

High Court Denies Writ Sought By Niewoehner
The Montana Supreme Court denied an alternative writ of mandamus sought by George Niewoehner of Helena to compel Secretary of State Sam W. Mitchell to accept his filing fee for the acting attorney general race. Niewoehner argued electors could name the acting AG during John W Bonner's absence on military duty, but his preferred filing was rejected minutes before the July primary deadline. Howard M. Gullickson had been appointed acting attorney general by Gov. Sam C. Ford under a 1941 law.

Navy to Concentrate on Carriers Over Battleships
Washington, June 16. Legislators said the Navy will shift to building airplane carriers, omitting new battleships. The House Naval Committee approved an 8.5 billion plan for 600,000 tons of carriers and 1,400 ships overall, with four to five battleships deferred. Some heavy cruisers may be converted to carriers, while existing capital ships nearing completion would still be launched. The move follows American air strikes in Coral Sea Midway and Aleutians.
