War Department to urge compulsory military training
Washington July 6 The War department plans to urge compulsory training and will seek changes to pending Congress legislation. The Army high command will present opinions to a Senate committee next Tuesday and endorse in principle the Burke Wadsworth bill for registration and selective training of men 18 to 65. A proposed change would pay trainees 21 dollars monthly, matching volunteer soldiers, replacing a nominal five dollars or 60 cents. Reports also say the Navy is forming a sea based Panzer style division using three merchant ships as Marine troop transports, fully equipped to sail at once when Marines are ready aboard. Time is described as essential.
