Ask Labor Draft

No sooner had President Roose-
velt's message to congress calling
for labor draft been read, than
Sen. Warren Austin (Vt.) and Rep.
James Wadsworth IN. Y) intro
duced legislation making all men
between IS and IS and all women
between IS to so subject to COM
pulsory service.
AS congress moved toward con-
sideration of the controversial labor
draft issue, the senate went toward
approval of most of its new $2,000,-
100000 tax bill, far below the adj
ministration's demand for $40, OOO,-
10000 of new revenue. The senate
also voted to keep the present social
security tax rate at per cent each
for employer and employee instead
of doubling the rates as automati-
cally provided by the original law.
In introducing his labor draft bill
which would enable the government
to place people in employment, Sem
ator Austin said approximately
5000, 1000 4-F's, all men over 38, and
an estimated q, 1000, 600 women would
form a huge workers pool which
could be channeled where needed
into industry.

Wilkes methods in the G. O. P.
national convention.
In the alleged letter, Hopkins was
to have written to a prospective
Democratic senatorial candidate in
Texas, promising that he could get
Willkie to swing Republican support
over to him in the primary election.
Claiming the letter was a forgery,
Hopkins asked the FBI to investi-
gate the matter.

WAR BUDGET:
100 Billion Asked

Assuming that fighting will con-
tinue throughout the fiscal year end
ing in June, 1945, President Roose-
welt asked congress for an appropri-
alton of 100000, 900, 900 to cover the
period.
At the same time, the President
asked congress to prepare for de-
mobilization by Cd planning public
works; (2) providing mustering-out
pay to servicemen; CD expansion
Of the social security program to
tide over the labor force during the
reconversion period, and (4 study
ways of boosting foreign trade.
Declaring that war spending since
1910 will have swelled to 1897, OOO,-
100000 by 1915, the President fore
cast a national debt Of $3.50, 900, 0O0,-
600 by next year. Such debt, the
President said, would require an
nual interest charges of $4,000, OOO,-
600, which could best be paid with a
national income of $125, 1000, 900, 600
annually, far over the pre-war level.
To help white the debt, the Pres
ident urged a minimum Of $40, OOO,-
100000 in new taxes this year, cou-
pied with present collections of $4O,-
O00, 000, 900.

NEW AUTOS:
Predicted for Fall

Predictions that new automobiles
will be in production and on sale to
the civilian population by early fall
are being confidently made in trade
circles. Basis for the optimism is
the tapering off of war orders, re-
leasing plant capacity, and the ex-
pectation that the WPB will release
large quantities of steel and other
materials soon, possibly by March I.
Government officials are said to
be concerned about the need for re-
placements. They say that 1900
cars are being scrapped daily.

Miss Bradford Returns

Miss Mildred Bradford, teacher
