Father Draft Top Priority On Congress Calendar
Washington dispatch notes a mounting clash over drafting fathers as Congress returns. A stop gap bill would delay inductions until after January 1 to study manpower and home front needs, while lawmakers press Manpower Chief McNutt and Selective Service Director Hershey for precise figures on army strength and father induction. Senator Wheeler plans to bring up his three month halt on September 15, a day after Congress reconvenes.
