In Transfer
Dropping an "A" from WAAC
Lwasnt the only change effected in
the women's army corps by recent
congressional legislation an
nounces Colonel J. J. Fulmer, Ore
gon army recruiting chief.
The Portland recruiting head
quarters explains that they are
now authorized to accept enlist
ment applications from women 20
to 50 years of age. Formerly en
listments were restricted to women
in the 21 to 45 age group. '
; Another result of the change
which makes enrollment In the
women's army even more inviting
entitles WACs to all of the privi
leges enjoyed by male members
of the armed services. A feminine
soldier now Is eligible for National
Service life insurance, special free
mailing privileges, a wider, variety
of non-combat jobs, and ranks
equal to those of the regular army.
Thus an auxiliary becomes a pri
vate and a third officer a second
lieutenant and so forth.
Complete information about the
new opportunities offered In the
women's army is available at WAC
recruiting headquarters in the

the United States i mint for con
sideration of means to overcome
the confusion, .' ' , '
- In response. Director Nellie Tay
loe Ross of the mint' prepared a
complete- explanation of, the sit
uation, which reads In part: : , -1
""Zinc-coated steel was adopted
for this tcoin. because, it was the
only metal the war production
board could allot for that purpose;
i had already withdrawn copper
by reason of war needs. Even plas
tics were denied. .-?;;;:. .- sz :i
"The practicability . of perforat
ing the coin to eliminate confusion
with other, coins has been fully
considered, but rejected primarily
because the, resultant reduction in
the weight would rerfder it unfit
for use In merchandising machines.
Also, because a hole in the head
of Lincoln would scarcely be . ac
ceptable, to the public. The devel
opment of a new design would
have caused unjustifiable delay In
getting coinage under way, the
demand for one-cent pieces hav
ing: been heavy and urgent A
change in shape would present
difficulty in stacking. Darkening
the coin prior to its issuance would
entail more practical difficulties
than can be explained in a letter,
sYou will, I am confident be
gratified to know that the change
in the composition of this minor
coin meant an anneal saving of
enough copper to meet the com
bined needs of 2. cruisers, 2 de
stroyers, 1245 Flying fortresses,
120 field guns and 120 howitzers,
or enough for one and one quarter

of Attorney General L H. Van

- The opinion, analyzed by Doug

'Van Winkle ruled that martial
