Navy needs conscription to build two ocean force says Knox

He argued a 9,000,000 strong navy would guard the Atlantic and Pacific, and warned the country could face danger if the Allies fall. He backed Burke-Wadsworth compulsory service and discussed wartime manpower needs amid White House talks and Senate debates.

Draft Bill Debate Quiet as Senate Divides on Maloney Plan
As the fourth day of the draft bill debate opened, administration leaders revealed an informal canvass showing the senate nearly split on the Maloney plan with only ten uncommitted legislators. Leaders predicted a close vote next week, with potential senate passage after the Maloney proposal is decided. Meanwhile the House began consideration of Senate-approved measures to empower the president to call out the National Guard and regular army reservists for a year of training, though a related excess profits tax faced delay due to drafting difficulties.

Solons Hear Timeframe For Armed Force Deployment
Washington August 14 Defense Secretary William S Knudsen told Congress that an army of 2 million could be fielded fully equipped by October 7, 1943. He argued no program for 2,000,000 exists but a plan for 1,200,000 fully equipped plus 800,000 key non combat items, with completion by end of 1942, and a possible nine month shrinkage of the July 1, 1944 date under proper funding and circumstances.
