October 17, 1940

THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, October 17, 1940

* 1st lottery for U.S. WWII draftees
* World War II draft begins (1st report)

This 52 page newspaper has a four column headline on the front page: "MILLIONS REGISTER IN CITY AND NATION; DRAFT ROLL COMPLETED WITHOUT HITCH; FIGURE HERE IS ESTIMATED AT 991,000" with many subheads. (see) Much more on pages 13 & 14 with related photos. Nice to have in this famous NYC title.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day with World War II reports. Nice condition.
