Dungaree Army Of Six Million Men Being Enrolled In Britain Under National Service Scheme LONDON, January 24: (CP) A Dungaree Army of six to seven million men whose duty it will be to keep industry working at top speed during wartime was established by the British government today. The Department of Labor issued a list of "reserved occupations" embracing men from eighteen to sixty-four years of age whose wartime work would be industrial rather than military and who would be exempted from military service. This is part of the voluntary national service scheme for which Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain broadcast an appeal last night when he declared that Great Britain would never begin a war but said that, in view of existing conditions, a national defence scheme was one of common prudence. Twenty million handbooks were issued throughout the nation today suggesting occupations in which the people are asked to enrol voluntarily. OTTAWA, Jan. 24. CP p fC p ! XT 1 Norman a.
