MAY HELP ARMY
Uniformed Auxiliary Corps
Would Serve In Aircraft
. Warning Service, Clerks.
Washington, Dec. 31
Women volunteers in khaki uni
forms would be enrolled as pri
vates and officers of the United
States army under a plan ap
proved today by the war depart
ment and now awaiting congres
sional action.
A uniformed women's auxil
iary corps to serve directly with
the army In the ai: craft warn
ing service and in clerical and
other non-combatant posts was
recommended by Secretary of
War Stimson in a letter to the
house military affairs commit
tee. His letter endorsed a bill
by Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers
(R-Mass.), calling for establish
ment of the feminine corps.
Depends on Needs
Stimson said the size of the
women's army would depend up
on military requirements and
estimated its cost during 1942
at $3,000,000. Chairman May
(D-Ky.) had said previously that
hearings on the bill would begin
after the war department gave
an opinion on its merits.
Modeled in general on the
auxiliary territorial service in
which thousands of British wo
men are enrolled, the American
counterpart would pay privates
$21 a month, the same as army
men. Women officers and non
commissioned officers would be
chosen on merit, trained in spec
ial schools and granted pay in
line with army pay for similar
posts.
At Large Camps
Units of the women's corps
would be stationed at each large
army post or camp. They would
live in barracks and be subject
to military discipline. Outside
of several drill hours weekly
they would do clerical and sec
retarial jobs and work as tele
printer operators, cooks, bakers,
dieticians, pharmacists, tele
phone operators and hospital
and laboratory technicians.
Stimson indicated that the
women's corps would take over
entirely the present aircraft
warning system operated by ci
vilian volunteers. In Britain the
A. T. S. also operates fire con
trol apparatus of anti-aircraft
batteries, working with gunners
under fire.

Says Nazi Soldier

was Just a "strength through
Joy excursion" compared to

"We do not wish to underes
timate the hardships of the pre
vious campaigns In France and
the Balkans, but compared with
what we endure in Russia they
were child's play, he wrote.
The reference to "strength
through joy," the recreation ac

fire late yesterday afternoon at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
F. F. Burk, 53 Rose avenue.
The fire was caused by an
overheated sawdust-burning fur

China Airports Key
To Japan Bombing Is
Yankee Pilot's View
Hollywood, Dee. 31 (IP)
Royal Leonard, 38, former per
sonal pilot for Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-Shek, declares that
Japan can be bombed effective
ly with American long range
bombers from bases In occupied
China.
"I don't think we realize how
fortunate we are to have China
as an ally," said Leonard, now
a Chinese national aviation corps
pilot and home on Christmas
leave.
'The air fields are there and
more can be built."
"Had the British cooperated
with the Chinese and prepared
air fields back of their lines,
Hongkong would not be in Ja
panese hands today."
"Japanese pilots are better
than the Americans gave them
credit for being prior to the war,
but they're not as good as a lot
of people now think merely be
cause of their early successes."
