Army Opens One Year Enlistments Amid Training Gaps
The War Department announced a temporary shift to voluntary one year enlistments until selective Service recruits arrive. One year enlistees cannot be assigned to certain arms or overseas posts due to technical requirements, while the three year enlistment drive continues to lift the regular army to its full 400,000 strength. The aim is a continuing force of trained men who can instruct conscripts.

Senate Bill Aids Conscript Rent and Insurance
The United States Senate approved a measure to help conscripts and other service members facing tax, insurance, and rent payments. It prohibits eviction for dwellings under $80 monthly and limits repossession of property bought on installment without court order. Courts may stay cases or adjust terms, and service members can hire an attorney. 90 days after service ends they may reopen cases. The bill also guarantees life insurance premiums up to 35000 if unable to pay, with a one year grace period to pay overdue premiums before lapse.
