that that is not enough"
LEAVES GIVEN OTHERS
I'VE have watched the Aus

I'VE have also seen Z. :.

House Kills Proposal
To Bring WAPS
Into Army Air Forces

Plans for recruiting inexperienced
women for training as military pilots
probably will be curtailed as a result
of House action yesterday in killing
a bill to bring the WASPS into the
Army Air Forces.
The House voted 189 to 1863 to
reverse its Military Affairs Commit
tee after almost three hours of de-
bate on whether or not the expense
of the AAF's plan for recruiting and
training women pilots was justified
In view of existing pools of available
male flyers already trained.
Civilian Employees
The WASPS now are civilian en-
pIoyes of the War Department, and
as such the expenses of the organiza-
ton will remain under scrutiny of
the House Civil Service Investigat
ing Committee, which recently rec
commended abandonment of further
recruitment and training.
Following elimination of the Cos
tello bill to commission WASPS up
to the rank of colonel it was be-
lieved another bill will he offered
to provide for utilization OF CAA
flying instructors now losing their
Jobs through curtailment of the
cadet training program.
Another class expected to get
favorable attention are flying in

ferred to the ground forces.
Assured Opportunity.
AAF spokesman have agreed to
give the instructors and trainees
every opportunity to qualify for fly
ing jobs, but it was commended In
the House yesterday that examining
boards were seeking to wash out"
thousands of them by discrimina-
tory methods.
Chairman May of the House Mil
itary Affairs Committee asked for
passage of the Costello bill and
pointed out it had the backing of
the War Department and Gen.
Henry H. Arnold, commander of
the AAF. Other advocates of the
measure cited Gen. Arnold's stand
and insisted his judgment in the
matter should be accepted in time
of war.
