Y@UR ARMY ®0 ITS
PART PHASE
With the President’s proposal for the discontinuance of
Selective Service on March 31, America will rely on
voluntary enlistments lor the maintenance of the Kegu ar
Army at authorized strength.
In view of world conditions today, this is a step of
the gravest importance to every American citizen. INever
before in history has any nation raised and maintained
a million-man army bv the volunteer system alone. Uur
ideals, our belief in individual freedom, our safety and
our duty to promote world peace all arc bound up m
this decision.
This is y our Array, and voluntary enlistment is your
choice. It must not fail. With your help it n:dL not tail.
The Army must continue to provide adequate occupa
tion forces overseas, to supply these forces, and to < P
in keeping America strong and secure.
Your help and understanding can do much to en
courage a steady flow of 3-year voluntary en istments,
necessary to sound training and the efficient performance
of the Army’s task.
When you discuss this subject wit h your sons, brothers,
husbands or friends \sho may be considering an rmy
career, bear in mind the advantages offerer >v a -y< ar
enlistment. Among them are the choice of branch of
service and of ovrseas theater where openings exist, and
the opportunity for thorough training in valuable skills.
A ioh in the new Regular Army compares favorably
with the average in industry, and has more opportum ie«
for promotion than most.
You can help by giving your respect and support to
the man who enlists voluntarily —to do his par in .
ing out your country’s world-wide obligations to build
a peace that will endure. ~

STATE CAPITOL
By Sid Williams
The Home rule passed the Senate
by substitute last week and was
sent back to the House for con
currence or rejection of Senate
amendments. The House refused to
concur in these amendments and,
at this writing, the bill seems head;

For the second time the House
rejected a Talmadge administra
tion measure which would place the
general election under the county
unit system, as well as the pri
mary.
The Senate Judiciary Commit

which would require all voters to
re-register this year and set up
educational requirements for voter
applicants. Senator A. H. S. Wea

Senate to over-ride action of the
Committee.
A pension bill for Superior Court
Judges, which reduced retirement
1 age from 70 to 62, was defeated in
the House.
The House passed by a unanimous
vote last Thursday two bills giving
the State power to regulate rates of
insurance companies. The State
Insurance Commissioner, who is
i also the Comptroller General, would
be empowered to review rates fil
ed by insurance companies and ac
cept or reject them.
The House passed by a bare ma
jority a bill providing for double
rent from tenants who remain in a
house after a court decision against
them.
The Senate passed the bill last
Thursday making it unlawful to bet
on any athletic event or try to in
fluence athletes to throw games.
