It may be q far cry from the
dull routine * q Macomb county
township cleSk's office to the
controls Of . giant bomber soar
ing across storm tossed North
Atlantic seas, but Carl F. Kali
ser, of Roseville, has made the
shift and he likes it.
Carl, now a Captain in the
Raj Ferry Command, is visit

small son, Donald, at the family
home, 17416 Wildwood, Rose
Vile, while he convalesces from
a tonsilectomy. He Is pale,
somewhat thinner than his
friends remember him but still
alive with that sparkle of life
and of daring which long years
since made him an outstanding
flier and factor to be reckoned
with in Macomb county politics.
JUST HIS TONSILS
But, despite his nerve-wrack-
ing profession-flying bombers

pallor to the tonsilectomy; not
to the rigors of war. He was
just released from a Detroit hos
pital last week.

County Draft
Reservoir Now
Over $4,000
Listing Of Men
in 20-44 Broeket
Exponds AvoiiobIss

Registration of all men aged
20 through "A not previously
listed on selective service rolls
will lift Macomb county's army
of draft registrants to at least
$4,000, it appeared on the basis
of incomplete returns today.
Only Board 1 reported COM
pleted registration totals by
press time today. Board 1 re-
ported $3.50 registrants.
Charles McNaughton, chair
man of Draft Board No. 2, de-
clined to reveal registration
totals. McNaughton said he had
not yet received q notice coun-
demanding a previous order
which said the totals could not
be released for publication.
The War Department yester-
day altered its previous ruling
to permit the publication of
local and state figures. Notice
of the change was sent to state
headquarters but was not re-
layed to local draft board from
Lansing, it appeared.
Based on the estimate that
so per cent of the previous total
of $4,000 registrants would reg
lister yesterday, the total fell
somewhat below expectations.
Estimated totals were: Board I,
3. 300; Board 2, $500; Board 8,
1924.
Draft officials pointed out,
however, that many county men
registered late last week while
at work at Dodge Truck and at
the Chrysler Tank plant. These
registrations probably will not
reach the proper draft boards
until early next week.

A bulletin from N.E.I. head

striking back at the invaders,
scored a direct hit on a Japanese

Congress Gets
Huge Arms Bill

A precedent shattering $32,-

construction of merchant ships
at the rate of two day went to
Congress today with the message
that "never in all history has a
nation been faced with the war
costs of the magnitude that con-
fronts u.s."
In itself almost equal to the
nations outlay for World War
No. /, the colossal new omnibus
measure would boost the total
of defense program expenditures
laid down thus far for the fiscal
years of 1941, 1912 and 1943 to
the staggering sum of $142, 000,-
600, 900. The committee hello out
some hope the war would end
before all the money was ex-
pended.
The House appropriations
committee bluntly declared that
"the United States had en-
barked upon the largest produc-
ton of war materials ever un-
dertaken by any nation" 1t
asked immediate action.
Billions upon billions of dol
lars and the output of more than
half of our factories will be
geared to the manufacture of
munitions, tanks, guns and other
implements and articles for war
use," said the committee.
