WASHINGTON, Sept. 14—(U.R) —
Congress today passed the first
peacetime conscription bill in Amer-
ican history and sent it to Presi-
dent Roosevelt for signature.
The historic measure had scarcely
cleared the senate and house when
the president called upon congress
for $1,940,886,976. a large part of
which will be used to finance the
draft.
Congressional action came on a
compromise bill which also compels
Industry to cooperate in the vast
rearmament drive. The senate
adopted the bill, 47 to 25, without
debate. The house then approved,
232 to 124, after a brief flurry
jof discussion.
Signature Due Monday
| Peacetime conscription will be-
come the law of the land as soon I
as Mr. Roosevelt signs the meas-1
ure, next Monday at the earliest, j
He will then proclaim a registra-
tion day, expected to be some time
in mid-October.
The law will reach into virtually
every American home, requiring all
men from 21 to 35, inclusive, to reg-
ister for a year's compulsory mili-
tary service on a selective basis.
Citizen and alien alike will be af-
fected by the law, which draws no]
distinction as to race and color.
More Money Asked
Registration will give the govern-
ment a list of 16,500.000 from which
to choose the first contingent of
400.000 who will be called to the
colors late this fall. For five years
thereafter, the government may call
up to 900.000 men annually.

Buried Talents" at the service
British bombers struck heavily
at Nazi invasion ports in France.
Predictions Made
At the dose of a week of the
fiercest air assaults in history,
these two dark forecasts were
made:
1. That tills in the opinion of
neutral military observers in Lon-
don is a weekend of "Intense"
crisis, 48-hours in which the menace
of invasion is darkest.
2. That Britain must surrender
I her empire capital to Hitler's forces
or see it pulversized as was Warsaw.
The latter came from a German
spokesman in Berlin.
Several British bombers attemp-
ted to enter Germany late Saturday
night, Berlin reports said, but they
were driven back by strong anti-
aircraft fire.
Morale Declared High
Tliere was no hint of a crackup
of British morale. To the warning
of Imminent "intense danger of
invasion" some Englishmen said
they hoped the Nazis at last would
come "so we can wipe their eyes.”
British airmen stormed across
tlie channel on their own destruc-
tive mission to try to disrupt com-
munications for any invading army
and blast dock facilities on the
French and Belgian coasts, Ger-
many's potential springboard for
attack.
Nazi sources declared the Ger-
man airforce "will continue its
relentless attacks" on London and
that Hitler will bide his time await-
ing the opportune moment for in-
vasion. .
