Waves Take Over Half of Jobs In Navy Department Waves have taken over nearly half of the Jobs In the navy de partment in Washington, D. C. a fact which shows what a vital part women In blue are taking In the war. is is revealed by Chief W. E. Bell of the Roscburg navy recruiting station. It was In December, 1942, that the first 300 trained navy women reported to the navy department to bccln the program of releasing for duty at sea or overseas many of the men who had been station ed In Washington to meet the ex pansion emergency created by the war. Since that time women's re serve personnel, both officers and enlisted, have been arriving In the capital steadily, sometimes at the rate of 1.000 a month, and have been assigned to every type of actvlty within the navy de partment. While no exact breakdown ac cording to grade is available, large number of Junior officer billets In the navy department is now being filled by women offi cers. The younger men, eligible bv reason of age and physical stamina for duty at sea, have been released for sea or overseas duty. In one office where there Sire mon than 1,200 officer billets, mam, of them in the ensign aid lieutenant (Junior grade) levels, women officers actually outnum ber men officers. In this tremendous changeover from an entirely masculine navy, many of the women assigned to the navy department have re leased men directly for combat duty In other cases the replace ment has been Indirect women hi-ve been assigned co expan-linr; r.c.'ivilles for which men wojl.1 otherwise have been required. , There are also a few Instances where permission has been grant ed to assign enlisted women tem porarily to urgent civil service vacancies for which no civilians were available.
