WASHINGTON, March 3-Almost
as soon as this is written, a bill
may be speeding toward the White
House to bring women into the ar
my.
The WAAC (Women's Army Aux
iliary Corps will probably start
off with something like 1880 wom-
en-, working principally as coastal
air defense workers, stenographers,
telephone operators, chauffeurs, etc.
But that will just be the begin
ming. From England, our army
has learned that many of duties
can be performed by women just
as well, if not better, than by men.
The Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers
(Mass) bill has had some critics.
But one thing that practically
clinched the idea that women would
come into the army was the in
sistence of Gen. George c.. Mar
shall, chief of staff, that l regard
the passage of this bill at an early
date as OF considerable Importance. .

NOT failed to give the army prac-
