The May bill ("woik-or-be-

and Navy heads over outright na
tional service legislation which
President Roosevelt recommended
in his message to Congress last
week. May's bill makes liable lot
work batallions in the Army and
Navy, men between 18-45, who arc
deferred and who shift jobs without
approval of their local boards.
Patterson did not disclose wheth
er the majority of the ir. n would
go to the Army or Navy, but said
that they must be young and able to
withstand the hardships of fighting,
which may mean that the men will
be used for front replacements.
