Convoys The Big Question Up Now Before Congress
Senator Bailey says Admiral Land testified the maritime commission report on losses of ships carrying aid to England was misinterpreted. The report noted only 8 of 205 ships reported sunk, a point used by convoy opponents. Bailey quoted Land saying the emphasis was on reported losses and that more ships may have sunk according to non official sources. Senator Vandenberg said Land reiterated there were no substantial casualties.

July 1 Said To Be New Date For The Army Registration
Washington officials announced July 1 as the registration date for about 1,000,000 men who turned 21 since the previous selective service enrollment last October. The process will be at 6,500 local draft boards and may be simpler than last fall’s mass registration of 16.5 million men. President Roosevelt will formally fix the date in a proclamation. Officials expect many registrants to be called for training within months, with plans to use the new pool promptly. War Department officials weigh shifting emphasis to younger men, considering age limits of 30 or even 26.
