Navy Cuts Age to Nineteen for Aviation Cadets
The Navy Department reduced the aviation cadet enlistment age from 20 to 19, allowing college sophomores to enlist now, undergo examinations, and finish the year before training. The change aims to fill positions as fleet eyes in both Atlantic and Pacific theaters, with candidates still needing to meet physical moral and educational standards for class V-5.

Senate Chiefs Halt Action On Strike Bill
In Washington on January 15, Democratic Leader Barkley noted no urge to act on Rep. Smith's anti strike bill. The measure, passed by the House December 3, seeks to freeze open and closed shops, regulate unions and picketing, and bar jurisdictional strikes. It has lingered in the Senate labor committee as the new war labor board evaluates its impact. Chairman Thomas called the panel to discuss his conference moderation and expressed hope no legislation moves forward now.
