Show I I (3, r-- WASHINGTON Nr An Independent Newspaper Devoted Volume 16 Number 25 FROM OUR CONGRESSMAN W. K, GRANGER Over-Ag- e Destroyers Prove Worth. Spectacular accomplishments are still the order of the day for many overage destroyers which were transferred to Great Britain by the United States Navy almost three years ago. In spite of the fact that they had long since outlived their normal period of usefulness when they were exchanged for naval and air bases in British possessions on this side of the Atlantic, these fifty destroyers have made a tremendous contribution to the fight of the United Nation against the Axis. While these over-ag- e destroyers have been used for the most part to convoy troops and materials to the widely scattered United Nations fighting fronts, yet their seaworthiness has kept most of them constantly on the rough and dangerous job of convoying United Nations ships over difficult ocean runs and they have established records of endurance if not of speed. Hoover Praises FBI Women. John Edgar Hoover, Director of FBI says he cannot praise too highly the work of girls in his Bureau. In technical laboratories, in the . radio field and in finger- - printing, their work has been capably performed. In technical fields they are rendering inestimable aid to special agents throughout the country. Two years befre America entered the war, women totaled only 600 on the FBI rsoter. In the autumn of 1941, realizing that many of the FBI men would soon be in uniform, the training of women was begun. Six months later almost 4,000 women were at work, and that was only the beginning. By spring, 1943, there were 7,b00 women in FBI more than half the total personnel of 13,000 in field offices and Washington headquarters, almost double the number of women a year ago and 13 times as many women as in 'pre-w- ar days. - . ' V,. Some of the busiest women are the communications section. Wartime business of the FBI often depends on interquickl arranged office conference. Awasted moment or mistaken order may mean the escape of a key saboteur. Between 14,000 and 15,000 calls are handled daily thru FBI telephone switchboards. Getting a job with the FBI is no simple ask, so these women who hold them are justly proud. A junior cryptographer applicant, for instance, must be between 23 and 35, in good physical condition, and able to meet certain standards of eyesight. She must have either a college degree with a major in modern languages, mathematics, astrology, physics or Chemistry. June Submarine War Reviewed Jointly By British and C. S.
