Service Draft Law
Written at Secret
Military Sessions

WASHINGTON-The selec-
tive service draft law for our
next war (if and when) has
already been written at secret
powwows of the nations mill
tary and legislative experts.
Here are its principal provi-
sions:
On a day to be named by the
president. providing congress pass
es the enacting legislation. every
American-with a few notable ex-
ceptions-between the ages of IS
and As will appear before a local
board of drafters and sign up.
F. ID. R.-or his successor-will
then pick as many male citizens"
as he deems necessary for the fray.
Almost all persons even remotely
connected with the existing milf
tary, naval and diplomatic estab-
lishments, including the vice presi-
dent, will be exempt from registra-
ton. Since Garner is now ap-
preaching 70, the paragraph
specifically exempting him has
comic touch. But perhaps the next
v. P. will be younger.
Conscientious DIRECTORS" get a
better break than they did IS
years ago. Nobody who belongs
TO any well recognized religious
sect whose creed or principles for
bid its members to participate in
war in any form" need serve in
"combatant capacity" But the
president may assign them to shin
ing soldiers buttons or currying
army mules-or to a factory en-
gagged in production of munitions.
Recent disclosures that the adj
ministration contemplates sensa-
tional expansion of health, insur-
ance and social security benefits
was the worst political leak" in
years at the capital. Prospective
sponsor Bob Wagner, normally a
tight-lipped individual, talked out
of turn. Here is the political back
ground:

watchers, who did not rush to
bomb-proof refugees, saw tracer
bombs burst in the air.
The alarm in the Paris area
followed renewal of great aerial
activity by both the French and
Germans.
While German and French
planes flew in increasing numbers
in fine weather over the western
front, Nazi ships appeared over
northern France and the French
announced eight Nazi warplanes
had been shot down. Their report
conceded with British dispatches,
confirming that three German
planes had been shot down over
British territory since Monday.

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-01-19

hustling places. Fishing camps
galore. Waters of jade and topaz,
ultramarine and glass, as it were,
mingled with fire. Must be pal
lette where nature mixed the
colors for her gems.
Coral Gables blaze of Neon
glory. Miami and kin folk.
Downstairs in the Chamber of
Commerce. Mrs. George B. Critics,
secretary of the Industrial Board,
looking forward to her next visit
to Key West. Across the corridor
r. B. Fansher Travel Bureau,
The Travel House, full of plans
for sending people to Key West.
Morning. Crowds. More
crowds. We try to follow the
Key West custom and tell every
body it is a good morning. Barely
escape Chattahoochee. Hard
faces, anxious faces, friendly
faces. Too many of them. Eat
from time to time. Do some two
time drinking. Not what you
think. Transact little business,
have a jovial visit with George
Merrick. Transact a little bust
nees. Come home with Elwood
Key. Since 1927 he has been
tooling buses over the highway,
what there was of it. Thanking
his lucky stars there are no more
ferries, making friends for Key
West on every trip. Home Sweet
Home.
