Chicago reports six veterans freed from City Jail to enlist, agreeing with their wives to drop back payments in the national interest. A $30,000 cash settlement wipes out a $200,000 tax claim against Al Capone and 14 others for beer tax seized in prohibition days.
The article sketches a United States immersed in total war as July 1942 closes. It notes heat and strain across the nation, mass mobilization efforts, policies on enemy aliens in war industries, and the broad social shift toward government-led production and military readiness. It highlights President Roosevelt's stance on employment for aliens, wartime labor needs, and notable events from Washington to New York, including military officer candidates, West Point class size, and civilian actions like scrap drives and curfews. It also touches on entertainment, crime, weather, and international curiosity, culminating in the wartime mood of a nation adapting to a single purpose: winning the war.
