In the North Carolina General Assembly report Rep Oscar Barker of Durham speaks for a bill capping charter fees at 500 dollars but the house votes against it with no supporters. A tractor license bill to exempt farm tractors from plates and taxes follows amid concerns of potential abuses.

Highlights of Gobbel's Talk press notes on alien admission bill
The piece reports debate over Spruill of Bertie proposing a state hospital admission bill for aliens who have lived in North Carolina up to ten years. It follows the case of a dual national couple, one son in the U.S. military, and a mentally ill wife, with suggested restrictions and potential passage to avoid draining native care facilities. It also notes related legislative items and public-interest excerpts from Goebbels' Berlin address and wartime food and crop updates.

Objectors Are Fewer In This War
The war’s conscientious objectors are fewer per 500 registrants than earlier, yet objections reach into wages used for the war effort. Col. Lewis F. Kosch, head of Selective Service camp operations, says about 6,000 COs run 78 camps with 114 religious groups, Mennonites the largest. About 60 percent are farmers, limited by a comptroller general ruling that wages must go to the general fund, though COs oppose earnings going to war costs.

Labor Service Payments Fought Over in Wartime Aid
The debate centers on wages for labor provided under wartime programs. Protests claim it would be discriminatory if free labor was given to some while others paid. Lend-Lease services to allies include about one fifth of total aid with roughly half of expenditures for shipping and supply services.
