The piece urges American women to join the Women’s Army Corps highlighting Allied women’s efforts in Europe and urging volunteers to free men for combat. It cites General Marshall and notes postwar training, promotion chances, and the moral question of aiding efforts to bring soldiers home quickly. It contrasts Allied female sacrifice with domestic shortages.
Peter Edson argues against the depersonalized jargon of war production and battlefield reports. He notes that Army aircraft gained morale from personal names like Memphis Belle while Navy pilots protest naming limits on ships and landing craft. He urges official permission for playful, meaningful nicknames to boost spirits at home and abroad.
The National Semi Pro Baseball Congress will test reverse base running at its Wichita tournament this summer allowing runners to choose first or third base and even move two ways at once. Fans recalling wartime baseball may see the move as a revival, not a novelty, with a Dodgers era stunt cited by veterans.

The piece recalls Teheran talks, U S Russian cooperation, and ongoing debates over France’s leadership alongside naval strategy and prewar planning. The CAP seeks 250000 youths for preliminary training.

Washington scene discusses the high politics of the electoral college as southern Democrats threaten if Roosevelt gets the nomination. The piece notes electors are chosen by the people, then vote for their party's candidate, and highlights Herbert Bayard Swope as a lone elector who voted against his ticket in 1936.
