suspend the operation of contracts,
leases, and other civil obligations
of draftees who are unable to con-
tinue payments out of their GOA
month service pay. It's principal
provisions:
RENT, INSTALLMENT CON-
TRACTS, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
from dwellings rented by conscripts
will not be permitted where the
rent is $50 or less month. Install
ment-purchased goods may not be
repossessed during the period Of
military service unless the draftee
agrees to such action. Mortgages
may not be foreclosed while the
drattee is in service.
LIFE INSURANCE - Policies up
$4,000 will be kept in force by the
veterans administration during the
draftee's term of service. In return,
the United States would hold liens
against the policies until the draftee
repays the veterans administration.
TAXES - When a draftee can
prove his inability to pay taxes,
no tax sales of his property could
be held until after he has COM
pleted his service. In cases where
the property is sold by local author
tiles for non-payment OF taxes, the
draftee could reclaim it not less
than six months after re-entering
civil life.
AUTOMOBILES AND TRAC-
TORS-Placed in special category
Cars and tractors could not be re-
possessed if the draftee has paid
more than so per cent of total
contract price.
In all cases, the draftees would
be required to pay up accumulated
debts after the termination of serv-
ice.
Mr.. Roosevelt signed the bill, which
supplements the general relief pro-
visions of the conscription act,
shortly after draft officials said
that the first contingent of 10000
trainees-an average of less than
five per local draft board-wanted
by the army on Nov. 18 probably
will be obtained from volunteers.
