No Decision on Registration of Women
President Roosevelt said no decision yet on national service legislation but noted that compulsory registration of women was under consideration.

The idea emerged from talks with the CIO AFL labor war board about registering women ages 19 to 63. Likely survey start after year end pending authorization by Congress.
