Show 18 Saturday November 6, 1943 Women Enlist For AAF In New Plan Can Ask for Type Of Air Force Job They Desire recruitment plan for the Women' Army corps under which women may request assignment direct to the air forces and choose the type of Job for which they wish to be recommended was inthe AAF recently. augurated by been A list has compiled of 18 occupational fields embracing more than 100 Army Air Forces posi tion, and from this list qualified members may select the field for which they are best fitted and in which they are most interested. Jobs for which WACs will be opassigned include link trainer meerator, radio operator and chanic, weather observer, and control tower operator. Many of the positions are those for which women are as well or better fitter than men, as indicated by close study of the effectiveness of women in army jobs. recruitDuring the nation-wid- e ment campaign in which practicalcountry ly every AAF post In theInterested A new will take part, women In jonning the WACs will be given an opportunity to visit the posts and observe for themselves just how jobs in occupational fields for which they could volunteer are being handled. In this way they will know precisely what will be expected of them after they have enlisted in the corps. They will also be given opportunity to inspect WAC barracks, mess facilities, and recreation rooms, and to interview members of the corps to gain first-han- d information on their own suitability for army life. It is emphasized that no effort will be made to get a large number of women to volunteer for just any job. In every case the suitability of the women for the available job will be the fundamental . consideration underlining the acceptability of enlistment One method of recruiting women Is that of having WACs write personal letters to their acquaintances telling them about life in the WAC and the need for more women in the corps. The idea originated at the Lincoln Army Air Base, has already been taken up by the Freeman Army Air Field in Indiana, and seems to be attracting wide attention among WAC stations throughout the country. Hundreds of such letters have already been mailed. At least half of the specialised jobs for which qualified women are sought are clerical. Among others are telegraph operator, communications chief, telephone repairman, Areas Praise VerWindCoiiiiJ FrVm Generals Fighting Ranking itiunages f ark Its of Anniversary ASC Record on Occasion Meeta Weekly to counts of how the ASC actually in operates overseas was found M.

S army sent warm congratulations to the Air Service Command on its recent second birthday. LA. Gen. Ira C. Eaker, commanding general of the Eighth AAF in England, was emphatic in his praise for the American working man and woman "who labors day and night in factories and shops.'' "In a real sense," he said, "the Air Service Command at home participates in every strike we make at the enemy target. With your continued participation, these attacks will mount in number and effectiveness and will contribute mightily to the crumbling of the nasi military machine." Gen. Henry H. Arnold, command ing general of the AAF, added to the praise in a personal letter to Maj. Gen. Walter H. Frank, . general. Said commanding General Arnold: "You are commended, all of you, officers, enlisted men, and civilian employes, for the outstanding man ner in which you are performing your various tasks.

Routine flights, he said, span half the distance from Los Angeles to New York, and operational flights are even longer. "How well the Air Service Command has carried out its vitally important ' mission is written in the records of the air forces in the central Pacific. The mounting number of Japanese planes shot down, the increasing weight of bomb loads dropped on enemy installations, and the expanding range and scope of our operations are a testimonial to a job well done," he emphasized. Other statements poured into ASC headquarters from Lt Gen. Joseph Stilwell, Lt. Gen. Jacob L. Devers, in command of American forces in the European theatre; Maj. Gen. Levin H.
