WAAC Enlistments Surge Amid Training Bottle-Neck
Thousands of determined women flock to join the WAAC in Washington D C as Maj. Oveta Culp Hobby and her team face a cap on officer candidates. Only about 500 officers can be recruited now with 25,000 more this year and four weeks of training ahead. The 275,000 others remain disappointed as recruiting chiefs in nine army regions sort registrants and administer aptitude tests. In separate items, Rep. Adolph Sabath pitches a treasury lottery to fund war efforts, while Chinese leaders urge planes and air support to bolster China against Japan. The piece also notes Burma and China coast reverses and ends with Navy talk of a veteran sailor’s $60,000 fortune and a new Defense Department film.
