Navy relaxes discharge system for WAVES training flights
The Navy broadens discharge eligibility for about 35,000 reserve enlisted personnel while WAVES at Olathe Naval Air Station undergo flying training aboard planes with new oxygen systems, interphone gear, and air conditioning. The program, led by R. P. Hubley, aims to staff flight orderlies who balance loads, handle emergencies, and prepare manifests, as women with diverse backgrounds join the Navy for global service.

Admiral Richardson's fleet plan and 1941 Pearl Harbor context
A firsthand Hawaiian Islands account discusses why policy power was used to recall Admiral Richardson and replace him, and why deploying the fleet prevented a single knockout strike. The piece blames authorities for Pearl Harbor and argues the need for dispersed naval deployment to avoid total collapse. It weaves in reflections on gum chewing manners, matrimony, and social observations, ending with a note about the coffe r fly of Guatemala linked to tumorous effects.
