Government spending on defense could total about 5 billion cash through July.

First 60,000 Guardsmen Start Sept 16
Washington reports the first 60,000 citizen soldiers are ordered by President Roosevelt to report September 16 for a year of active duty with the regular army. The move marks the first peacetime tour of service since 1916 and will reduce the guard from about 242,000 to roughly 220,000 after discharges. Sixteen states are affected, with Tennessee and Virginia included but Kentucky excluded, as the War Department plans further mobilizations in coming months to support a conscript army under Burke-Wadsworth legislation.
