Great Dissension Among
Members Relative To
Appointment On Com
mittees

County Commissioners J. Frank
Roberts and Edward Gomez said
tonaY that Carl Bervaldi. in max
ing appointments on committees
last night. left them blank in
ether words. MIR. Gomez assert
ed. he and Mr.. Roberts. though
they are duly elected commits
sioners. are powerless TO name
a single county employee.
Last night. when Mr.. Gomez
locked at the list of committees.
he pointedly told Mr.. Bervaldi
ttat he had deliberately Stack
ed" it. and this morning. in reit-
ereting that charge Mr.. Gomez
added that he would not be a bit
surprised TO learn that Commits
sioners Bervaldi. Maxine Valdez
and w. A. Perish. had held a
caucus before the meeting to de-
eide on the committee appoint
ments.
Everything was cut and
dried. Mr.. Gomez said. "On
every committee. except that
concerning the airport. Frank
End I are outnumbered two to
one. and. therefore. can be voted
down when appointment of en-
pleYes is to be made. Incidental
lY. there are no appointments 10
be made by the airport commit
tee."
j Frank Roberts, who was APP
pointed chairman of the finance
committee, said today that he
had refused to serve in that Ca
pacity, though he will continue
on the committee.
Il like fairness" Mr.. Gomez
said today. land l don't think
there's anybody who relishes be-
ing treated line step-children. l
showed them last night that l
could be fair, and that | enter
tain enmity against nobody. l
knew that Julius Stone had the
backing of the three commission
ers who are against us, and /
knew he had the backing too of
the man, on the outside, who
seems to have a great deal to do
with how the commission func-
tons. But that did not make
any difference to me. / con-
scientiously believe Mr.. Stone
has made us good county at
torney, and so l nominated him
for that office. l may add that,
when the present complexion of
the county commission is chang
ed by the return of Harry l..
Harris, | still would vote for Mr..
Stone, regardless of my friendly
feeling toward the majority as it
then will exist"
Continuing, Mr. Gomez added,
"Bervaldi, by mis- appointments
last night, virtually turned the
county over to Valdez and forced
Frank and me to eat crow. But
that's okay with me; it won't al
ways be thus"
Carl Bervaldi was named chair
man of the commission, and j.
Frank Roberts temporary chair
man. ..
All salaries and bills were order
ed paid, and County Clerk Ross
'n Sawyer said today that checks will
be ready for distribution after
lunch tomorrow.
The following committees were
appointed:

Navy Supports Bill
Allowing WAVES 10
Become Admira|s
Mas Sponsors Measure
Which Gives Women
Servicemen's Benefits

WAVES could become admirals
under a bill supported by the Navy
Department.
The bill, sponsored by Representa-
tive Mas, Republican, Of Minnesota,
not only would remove all limita-
tons on ranks of WAVES officers, but
would allow WAVES to serve over
seas, gives them servicemen bene-
fits and makes the Women's Naval
Reserve permanent part of the
Navy rather than a wartime estab-
lishment.
A letter from the Navy Depart
ment yesterday to the House Naval
Affairs Committee stated that the
department considers removal of
the limitations desirable and recon-
mends enactment of the bill
Higher Ranks in WAC.
The highest rank in the Women's
Reserve is that Of 1t. Comdr. Mil
dred H. McAfee, director. It has
long been a source of dissatisfaction
TO the WAVES that their director
is two ranks and ST 900 a year lower
in pay than Director Oveta Cup
Hobby of the WAACS, who holds
the comparative rank of a colonel
Miss McAfee's subordinate officers
are likewise below their WAC
counterparts in rank and salary.
According to the latest available
figures, the WAVES will comprise
$4,000 enlisted personnel and $500
officers by the end of l943. There
are now more than 10000 members.

He explained further that whereas
WAVES are now eligible only to
receive employees compensation and
sick benefits under civil service
regulations, enactment OF the bill
would make then eligible to all
benefits granted men in the armed
services
The bill also provides for reten-
ton Of the Womens Reserve as a
permanent unit, similar to the reg
ular Naval Reserve. Under present
legislation the Women's Reserve is
to be dissolved six months after the

Girls Trained
As Lube Experts

A national program for the
training of women to perform a
dual war service by learning a
specialized automotive profession
was proposed by William +. Holler,
Chevrolet general sales manager.
Through a series of service schools
throughout the country, young
women are to be trained as lubri-
cation experts, thus freeing men
for two important wartime jobs
on the fighting front or as me-
chanics on the vital transportation
home front.
Already, one school has been
held under Chevrolet auspices. %

lube-rack attendants. Without ex-
ception, they have been endorsed
by the dealers employing them as
capable operators fully qualified
TO take over this highly specialized
operation.
With an expansion of the train
ing program, Holler estimated
thousands of young women may
find employment in automobile
dealerships in a worthwhile, war
contributive job. He added that
rates of pay for the girls are COM
