Army Submits Pursuit Plane for Ford to Study Mass Production

The Roosevelts says munitions stores still hold immediate value though size unclear. Officials note no new steps toward a home guard, but reserve militia plans could rise on three hours notice.

It would raise the debt limit to forty nine billion and place receipts in a special fund for defense debt. Married exemptions drop to two thousand, single to eight hundred, and higher surtaxes apply on incomes up to one hundred thousand dollars.
