FDR Signs Draft Bill to End Army Recruiting Push
President Roosevelt signed a draft bill expanding the selective service and urged reliance on a large draft force, with estimates of 6,000,000 or more for a wartime army. The measure raises enlistment caps, prompts Senate debate on ending voluntary recruiting, and shifts focus to conscription to meet war needs. Senators argue for rapid expansion to mobilize forces as the nation faces Axis powers.

Cash Sought for Deputies Salaries Amid Budget Gaps
County commissioners face a shortfall to raise 9000 in salaries for the live deputies on the anti sabotage and vice squad. Only 3000 is available with 1009 from courthouse improvement, 1000 from sheriff’s budget, and 1200 from the general fund. Judge Anderson warns of tapping road and bridge funds to cover the balance. It is estimated 23800 would cover four months of salaries. The court also appropriates 640 from courthouse improvement to fund the detention home and 205 to pay the school board for janitor service in the Junior College election set for November 15.
