Radar Trainees Needed by Navy The U.S. Jlavy’s need for men to be trained in radar has become so great that the recruiting ser vice has been ordered to put the program at the head of the list, according to Harold Eustis, Sp- (R)lc of the navy recruiting sub station, Astoria, who covers this area. As the American offensive is intensified in the Pacific, more and more radar technicians are needed on the ships which take men and supplies to advanced bases or seek out the enemy’s fleet, or the great armada of na val planes and in the ever-ex panding submarine service. Applicants who can pass the aptitude test are enrolled as sea men first class (comparable to a corporal in the army) and giv en at least ten months of train ing at naval schools and leading universities. Ratings as petty of ficers can be earned during train ing or upon graduation. I7ers Can Enlist Seventeen-year-olds who are able to pass the qualifying test can enlist immediately. Men in the draft ages of 18 to 37, in clusive, who can qualify, will re ceive letters of direct assignment to be presented at the time of their induction. Full details con cerning each of these groups can be obtained at the Astoria of fice, Post Office Bldg.
