PUBLISHED THURSDAYS ONLY FEW STOKES j BOYS ARE NEEDED I THE STATE OF NORTH CARO LINA GETS CREDIT IN THE DRAFT FOR VOLUNTEERS ENLISTED, WHICH ARE MANY—STOKES BOYS UN DER THE 400,000 CALL WILL PROBABLY NOT BE OVER 1 FORTY-FIVE OR FIFTY. Stokes county's quota of boys for the first 400,000 draft may not be over 40 or 45. This comes about by reason of | the fact that each State's volun teers are credited to the State on' the enlistment. As North Caro lina boys have been volunteering to an extent almost at the top of the other States, Stokes county's quota will doubtless be not over 40 or 45 boys. The following dispatch comes! from Washington: Washington.—The War Depart ment yesterday gave official rec ognition to reports that compar atively few North Carolinians would be inducted into the army when the call is issued about Oc-' tober 21 tor the first contingent of approximately 400,000 conscripts. Recruits for the regular army' are enlisting for three-year terms ' at such a rapid rate that War De-' partmcnt officials predicted the ! immediate objective of 375,000 men would be attained by the middle of November, well ahead of schedule. The compulsory military train ing bill provides that each state shrill receive credit in its can script quota for the number of voluntary enlistments- Latest fig ures are not yet available, but! North Carolina is reported still' to be among the top three states' in the entire country in the nurn-' ber of enlistments. This flood of Tar Keel enlistments is expected to cut deep into the state's con- j script quota. Army officers did not give the impending conscription major credit for the spurt in voluntary ' enlistments. It was pointed out that recruits were flocking in even before the selective service bill was introduced in Congress- This is particularly true of North Carolina and neighboring southern states. There wete 32-1,000 enlisted men in the regular army at the last tabulation a few days ago, and recruiting offices in large cities report queues of men wait-' ing to be examined. A new rec ord of 40,-000 or more enlist ments for September is indicated, as compared with 38,611 in Aug ust and 31,960 in July. The army is accepting men only for three-year enlistments- But after registration day, October 16, local draft boards will handle one-year volunteers, turning them over to the army and exempting them from the draft if they meet all requirements. As Senator Wheeler of Montana, leading op ponent of the conscription bill, also predicted today that there would bo enough volunteers to supply the 40r COO men allotted for the first increment of the draft. Legionaires and ax-servicemen picnicked at Hanging Rock Park last night. Drive Opened for Pas sage of Tobacco Parity, Measure Before Con-' gress Adjourns Washington. —T oba c c o con gressmen from North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky joined yesterday in a concerted effort to secure enactment before adjourn ment on the Flannagan bill to in crease the parity paid on tobacco from 18 to 22 cents. I Following the meeting in the office of Senator Josiah W. Bailey, | hope was expressed that a plan to attach the bill to a pending measure in the Senate as a I I "rider" would meet with success. Both Senator Bailey and Sen ator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia pledged their co-operation in seeking Senate action on the measure that has been fruitlessly waiting House approval for some time. I Representatives Coo 1 e y oi North Carolina, John W. Flanna gan and Thomas G. Burch of Vir ginia, Virgil Chapman of Ken tucky, and J. B. Hutson, assist ant AAA administrator called on ! Bailey and Byrd to launch the ' move in the Senate that might prove a short cut to final enact-j ment of the important tobacco! measure. The plan is to have the Flanna gan bill included in a bill already passed by the House and now be fore the Senate. If the Senate would agree to keeping the; amendment in the bill, it would | | then go before join House-Senate conferees tnd thus avoid submit- ( ting the proposal to a test of the ! House. It was agreed that time^ is too short to hope for favorable House action. J All th-2 tobacco area represen tatives agreed that there was good possibility of having the bill enacted in this manner before' i I Congress adjourns, which may be' the last of this week. | | It was first planned to attach ' ! I the Flannagan bill to the pending sugar bill- It was agreed at the 1 I I conference, however, that this: I measure if: so controversial that j the tobacco proposal might be jeopardized through this associa tion. Senators Bailey and Byrd agreed to confer at once with I Senate Majority Leader Barklev to ascertain what pending meas- I ure might best be employed to achieve the end sought. They an ticipate full co-operation from the Kentucky senator in view of the great interest of tobacco growers J i in his home state in the Flanna-, ■ gan proposal. The main conseequence of the. ■ Flannagan bill would be to in crease the parity paid on tobacco r from 18 to 22 cents- This would i t be achieved by changing the r j period of calculating parity from j , 1909-1914 to 1939-39. i \ Representative Coo 1 e y ex ; plained that it is not expected t passage of the bill will materially r advance j' ' • on the current to - bacco m. even though it may , have a br ...icial physchological J effect, it would, however, enable > the federal government to ad -1 vance mo ' liberal loans to the ; British buyers and thus have a j far-rcachir.g effect on next sea son's market. i ______ c Democrats of sth District will rally at Leaksville October sth- • THE DANBURY REPORTER BB!ISHi^^BB9BS^KaESK3ES&H6&£^*3iEEi2iB23BQK&BBS3KES3E3£K] Welcome Mr. Planter to the MANUFACTURERS' OUTLET STORE 622 North Trade Street Between Gorrell's and Brown's Warehouses In the Same Location 13 Years Winston-Salem, N.
