A United Press dispatch notes about 1000 US Army and Air Force women in Germany living in fortified billets on US posts. Officers may have private rooms while WACs share rooms, with German staff handling cleaning. Even with clubs and activities, most say they interact little with German life.
The report notes WAC and WAF personnel in Europe traveling on leave to enjoy cut-rate tours and local services. German operators at a beauty parlor offer permanents for 3 dollars and other services while the Post Exchange provides a weekly ration of 143 cartons of American cigarettes for 1 dollar. Some service members profit by reselling the cigarettes. Most passes during the period head to the Holland tulip festival.
Milwaukee report notes Wisconsin Master Plumbers Association secretary Robert F. Honold says some plumbers use radioactive isotopes to locate leaks. He mentions radioactive iodine is injected into piping to trace escape points and guide repairs.
