Helm, officer in charge of Navy recruit ing in Oregon and Southern Wash ington said in Portland recently that reenlistments for the area in December show a gain of 135 per cent over December 1956. A total of 184 men reenlisted through the Portland office in 1957. Helm attributes the increase par tially to the economic condition of the area, but principally to the Navy's stepped-up program to at tract trained ex-servicemen to a career in the Navy. Career induce ments for qualified ex-servicemen include assignment to trade schools upon reenlistment with leave, and travel pay paid in advance.
