900 men, the largest single call thus
far made. Another 100000 will be

mage, revealed that 100000 tons Of
overseas shipping win be added to the
merchant marine as result Of its pol.
icy Of expansion.

trcted for, will be of $500 deadweight

to insist on reconsideration of the
house daft amendments giving credit
ON draft quotas for volunteers and
