WASHINGTON, July 21.-
President Roosevelt today informed
Congress of the critical world
conditions which he feels necessi.
tate the retention of draftees,
national guardsmen and reserve
officers in the service for the dur
Iatien of the emergency.
His special message was sent
to Capitol Hill at noon, andNthen
was broadcast to the nation and
the world.
Gen. George c. Marshall, army
chief of staff, stated a few days
ago that this country's national
interests had been imperiled for
the last two months.
There is evidence of wide dis.
lsension in Congress on the pro-
posals to keep draftees in service
for the duration"
WOULD LIMIT SIZE
Out Of senatorial discussion
appeared one proposal which
seemed to gain headway--a plan
to freeze" the army at loo, 900
linen.
This proposal was based upon
the testimony of General Marshall
that the army can defend the
Western Hemisphere with that
number of men, armed and
equipped to fight modern war.
In outlining problems the army
faces, General Marshall explained
that the army enlisted strength
now Is 100000 men, it is author
lied to exceed this figure by add
| ing 152, 900 to the air corps. and he
seeks approximately 10000 more
regulars.
The freezing" plan would also
have the effect of curbing the war
departments recommendation for
an unlimited authorized draft
army. The army has urged removal
of present legal restrictions which
would limit the number of draftees
in training to 100000 men.
A final agreement betwe e n
Senate and House conferees on the
! bill which defers men above %
from the draft was In prospect as
conferees were called to an after
noon conference.
The only difference between
Senate and House is that the
Senate made the -deferment dis
cretionary while the House made
it mandatory. The Senate version
was considered likely to be APP
proved.
