Hill Field, long looking forward to their coming, extends a cordial welcome to the WACs. At last the first' contingent has arrived and more will follow. To many a general service man, chafing at his duty assignment at a post in. the interior. of the United States, their arrival heralds the day when more active service is in sight. To many a soldier it will mean hastening the beginning of the great adventure of overseas. For the WACs enlisted men who can thus be spared are here to release able-bodi- ed for the fighting fronts. Some uncertainty seems to exist in the minds of some Hill Field personnel, with respect to the precise function that the WACs play in the modern army setup. There is no mystery about it They are not here to take over KP duties for squadrons stationed are they here to replace at the field, as many have suggested.-Nocivilian workers, men or women, employed at Hill Field. They are part of the army and each WAC assigned to duty will take the place of an enlisted man in administrative or other skilled woman in work which can be capably done by an wartime. ' The WACs will not just be added to the military personnel of this or any other post or field .in the armed forces. Rather, they will take the place of existing military, personnel, or fill' places within the table of organization which specifically call for enlisted men. Aside from performing their own necessary duties, household and kitchen chores, and administration of their own orderly rooms, WAC personnel has been trained in army office and other routines and skills demanding military personnel. The idea that WACs will replace civilian workers in any category Is best refuted by the simple statement that, by law,' a WAC takes the place of an enlisted man, and must perform the duties of the enlisted man in the particular job assigned. ' There is to be no increase in the numbers of the aggregate military personnel provided by the army's table of organization. For instance, if 310 WACs are ultimately assigned to duty at this field, aside from the number necessary to take care of their own company administration, and supply and maintenance (which would be the same number required for the identical strength of male army personnel) the remainder will simply take over the jobs of the same number of soldiers now stationed here, releasing them for duty r able-bodi- ed elsewhere. The role assigned the WACs is an important one in wartime. have long performed similar assignments in England. Their coming represents another step in the total mobilization of man and woman, so that America's battle strength every may be at full tide, and so that all play parts, either at the front or behind the lines.

I am proud of the fact that 27,000,000 patriotic Americans are regularly investing more than $420,- 000,000 a month to help pay the cost of the war. And since all of this money comes from wages and salaries nearly 90 per cent from people earning less than $5000, and the bulk of it from those working in war plants I do not hesitate to say that the payroll savings plan is the greatest single factor we now have in pro tecting ourselves against inflationary spending. This is a great record, both from the standpoint of curbing inflation and from the standpoint of financ ing the war. However, I heartily endorse your present drive to improve that record, and I agree it must be improved if we are to keep pace with the increasing demands of the war. I therefore join you in calling upon the American people and upon labor and management particularly to do still more. Additional people should be convinced of the necessity of participating. Everyone now on the payroll savings plan should materially increase the amount of bonds he is buying. We originally asked for 10 per cent but now we need considerably more. I hope every American on a payroll will figure out for himself the extent to which he can curtail his spending, and will put every dollar of additional saving thus made into the payroll savings plan. Sincerely Yours, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. The Honorable, The Secretary of the Treasury. and the Pirates" 1 After t i Stand Dy To Repel Side Boys i i sa |
