Army Seeking
Air Corps Officers
For Regular Service
Examinations Will Be
Held at Boiling
And Langley Fields

With the impending expansion In
the Army Air Corps as a result of
congressional provision OF funds
with which to strengthen this serv-
ice, the Army is feeling through
the National Guard and other
sources for young men eligible for
commissions in this branch Of the
service, and plans soon to hold ex-
aminations to acquire as many as
possible. They will be commissioned
in the Regular Army.
The National Guard throughout
the country is being searched for
young men, with Air Corps train
ing, in order to try to get this serv-
ice filled with men who have the
basic training During the past
several years scores of young men
have been given training at the
Army Air Corps Training Center at
Randolph Field, Tex. Some of them
have been members of the Guard.
However, on completion of their
courses they were sent back to their
civilian positions, some of them to
their Guard units to instruct others
who had not had the air school
opportunity. The Government now
wants to profit from the instruction
given these men and has asked
Guard units to inform them Of the
opportunity offered to obtain COM
missions in the Regular Establish
ment.
The examinations for these COM
missions will be held at Boiling Field
in Anacostia, D. c., and at Langley
Field, Va. The preliminary exami-
nations are to start on May II next
and are to be concluded on May 15
The final examinations will begin
on May 81 and are scheduled to end
on June Z, after which the selections
will be made of the successful can
didates. An applicant must be a
graduate of the Randolph Field
School and must be between the
ages of 20 years and 8 months and
20 years and months at the time
of the final examination.
The instructions received at the
local Guard headquarters did not
indicate the number of officers
which would be commissioned as a
result of these tests, but it was in
dicated that in view of the fact that
all applicants must be graduates of
the Army's school in Texas that all
who successfully pass the examina-
tions will likely receive commissions
in this branch of the Regular Serv-
ice. Candidates must bear the ex-
pense of transportation to and from
the points of examinations. All will
be assigned to take the tests at the
points nearest their homes.

Legion Campaign Will Push
Hiring of Persons Over 40
National Employment Week Will Be
Observed From April 30 to Mays

The American Legion has pro-
claimed National Employment Week
from April 80 to May 6 In order
to encourage private industry to
employ men and women over 40
years of age.
Today has been set aside as "em-
ployment day in church." and as
one of it's features urges all Legion
naires to go to church, also their
friends and neighbors, in order to
secure as high attendance as pos
sible for all churches, with view
to having the message reach as
many persons as possible.
In connection with the campaign,
veteran placement representatives
have been contacted urging all un-
employed persons to register at local
employment offices.
Special observances will be held
throughout the Nation in churches
of all denominations stressing the
plight of unemployed men and
women over 40. All employers will
be asked to cooperate by placing
competent workers.. regardless OF
age, back on jobs in private in
dustry. During this week service
and civic clubs. business organiza-
tions, the United States Employ
ment Service and various other
agencies, together with all en-
ployers, will be urged to cooperate
in this program.
The District of Columbia Employ
ment Center has been designated
as the Office for filling all jobs
obtained as result of the activity

Opportunities for young members
Of the District National Guard to as
sure themselves of Immediately
reaching the commissioned grade in
the event Of a national emergency
have been pointed out to the per-
sonnel by Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox,
commander. He has prepared a list
of all vacancies which would imme-
diately be created upon sudden ex-
pansion, SO that members interested
will know just how many vacancies
there will be. However. commission
ing In the National Guard of the
United States would not mean they
would be limited to service with the
local militia, but could be transferred
to other units.
There are not enough vacancies
in the National Guard at this time
to accommodate all of the officer
material In the ranks. However,
while desiring to keep these men, 1t
is believed that the opportunity
which they would have in getting a
commission upon the concurrence Of
hostilities is an incentive which will
keep up their interest in the military
instruction. While they hold these
commissions during the pendency OF
their enlistment in the Guard, they
nevertheless lose them If they be-
come separated from the organiza-
ton, for any reason. However, ii
they are in the militia at the out
break of hostilities they would I'M
mediately assume their new ranks.
Many applications are being re-
ceived to take the examinations for
these commissions In the National
Guard of the United States, and soon
a great many members of the Local
militia will be eligible to Jump to
commissions in the event they are
called to the colors. Those having
an aptitude for things military can
receive their training now in the
ranks which will serve them well IN
the event they are ever called to ex-
ercise their commissions. Otherwise
If, in the event of hostilities, they
are officer material, and desire tc
obtain commissions, 1t will be neces-
sary for them to spend long periods
in camps Of instruction, taking their
training by the intensive and hard
method which was so prevalent dur
ing the World War.
