Washington, March 18. UP) The house approves the cre ation of a women's army aux iliary corps of volunteers to give American women the same chance as their British sisters .for military service. I The chamber backed the plan by a roll call vote of 249 to 86 late yesterday and sent along to the senate legislation which would set up a corps with a maximum strength of 150,000 women between the ages of 21 and 43 for behind-the-lines ser vice with the armed forces. Final passage came only af- The Link That ISN'T Missing Q "DACK when Kaiser Wilhelm D was the fdlow with the big notions, this nation had 326, 000 trucks and roughly one mile of surfaced highway for each of them. We Americans lived on a Burma Road of our own and it was just one jump ahead of the ox-cart. Today we still live on our Burma Road. It's as much a lifesavcr as China's. Only it's so long, so broad, so universal that every farm, every mine, every factory fronts upon it Fire million trucks roll right to their doors. That's why America can out-produce the Axis. Percentage-loving statisticians figure that motor transport ban. dies 54 per cent of this, 63 per O cent of that. It's nearer the truth to say that somewhere, sometime, somehow every thing is handled by truck. Even ships! Even factory smoke! Be tween raw resource and deliv ered necessity, motor transport is a never-missing link. Our new Burma Road system lias been completed in that pin point of time the 22 years since the last war. Standard has watched this development from close in. Our hat is oS to the men who have done it ... to their vision, their pioneer spirit. They've given Hitler an impos sible task. Alexander, . Caesar Napoleon, himself, couldn't lick an army of five million American truck-drivers! Standard Oil Company of California F H n- rit A Ye 1 M-'-Tl for needed repairing and remodeling . ir 1 Medford Branch of the UNITED STATES NATIONAL BANK ter bitter though scattered pro tests from the floor that the measure was an "insult to Amer ican manhood;" that it would subject women to the menace of bombs and gas and to the possible ignominy of court mar tial. Record Cited Retorting to this opposition, Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers (R., Mass.), author of the bill, cited the records of American wo manhood's past heroism, from the colonial days "when they defended their homes with guns from Indian attacks" to their sacrifices in world war one. "They are Just as anxious, just as willing. Just as able to serve and sacrifice for their country today," she said. The measure came into the house with the blessings of the war department because such a corps would release thousands of soldiers for combat duty by turning their chores over to wo men Just as able to handle them.
