staff job in General Kenney's head quarters, she was interviewed at Headquarters, First Air Force at Mitchell Field, New York.
 Ut. Crippen was one of the first Wacs on Hollandia and Leyte. On Dec. 8, about month after the initial Marine invasion of Leyte, the Wacs were taken there in transports to help with the estab- lishment of headquarters. Their arrival was too early-a mistake readily admitted by the American commanders in the Pacifc-be- cause until after New Years Day, the Americans on Leyte were strafed and bombed by the Japs.
 For about five weeks there were daily and nightly air attacks" It. Crippen said, land the bombing and strafng was always heaviest on holidays. The Japs had the mis- taken idea that we wouldn't be so alert on Christmas and New Years sand they didn't recognize their mistake easily. It wasn't until the invasion of Lingayen Gulf that the bombing of Leyte stopped to any extent"
 During one of the air raids It. Crippen suffered a concussion and was hospitalized for two weeks, hence was delayed week in en- rolling in the Langley Field school. She was flown to this country in a C-54 transport with some of the war wounded from the Pacific area and two war correspondents who had been liberated in Manila. In another transport plane of the same convoy were GA nurses lib erated from Santo Tomas, who had received first disqualification at Leyte.
 In General kenny,s headquarters the Wacs are playing an important part. The message center is manned entirely by Wacs, and they are doing filing, typing and serving as

Former FAF Wac Has Seen Plenty
 Of Action With Far East Air Force

The ly-adopted shoulder patch of the Far East Air Force, based in the Southwest Pacific, made it's initial appearance on Wac in this country last week on the crisply- tailored uniform of 1st Lieutenant Dorothy A. Crippen, the only WAC officer ever to attend the Army's Airborne Radar Intelligence School at Langley Field, Va. She is a former First Air Force radio officer, stationed at Seymour Johnson Field in Goldsboro, NC.
 For the past five months It. Crippen served on the staff of General George c.

 We have just learned that an other department has gone "Over- the-Top", Transportation and Main tenance runs a close second in reaching it's quota.

telephone and teletype operators. Many of them are experienced in flight line work, but until recently haven't been allowed on the line because the airstrips have been the primary targets of Jap attacks. There is a great need for more such qualified women soldiers, and according to It. Crippen, General Kenney can use all the Wacs that can be sent to his headquarters.
 After the Wacs had landed on Leyte, Tokyo Rose, Jap propaganda radio voice, on one of her broad casts, said that the Japs were giv- ing the Wacs three weeks to leave the Philippines before bombing their area.
 "It gave us all a pretty strange feeling to hear that, but no one actually feared the threat. And we're still waiting for them to carry it out" the young Wac lieu tenant said.
 "One of my most indelible memo ries is the Jap paratroop attack on Leyte. 1 guess we were all pretty frightened then, but the Japs were only after the airstrips and planes and missed a good opportunity to do lot of other damage"
 "The Wac quarters are built along the ocean front-and we're pretty proud of our private beach," It. Crippen said. "The climate is very unpleasant because of the heat and humidity; and our stand ard dress is khaki shirt and slacks. We wear the slacks not so much for protection from mosquitos, for that island is free from them, but from jungle rot"
 There are a number of Wac offi- squadron officers and others assigned to operational jobs-in the FEAF Headquarters, and WAC personnel comprises large per centage of the staff sections.
 Besides her WAC service rib bon, she wears the Philippine Lib- eration ribbon, a Presidential Unit Citation (she was a member of the Photo Intelligence unit that took all the photographs of the Philip pine invasion), the Asiatic-Pacific theater ribbon, with two campaign stars for the Battle of Hollandia and the Invasion of Leyte, and the American Theater ribbon.

Once upon time in the past week, the austere atmosphere of the Finance Officer has droned with the twice told tales of this and that. Needless to say, being literary minded soul, hereby put my noble Royal to the task of recording for all disinterested parties the mythi- cal and enchanting tales of Finance.
 The tall, nordic hunk of man out in the annex won't tell whether he lost his shirt in a game of tennis or not but anyhow he is sporting a classic new one which outranks his old one.
 Speaking of the Annex, Jack "Durocher" Batten says he is go- ing out to make the baseball team, but there seems to be hitch. He has a catcher's mitt he will trade for a first baseman's glove, any day or mite.
 William Kenneth PFC green house is horticulturist of note. He is currently watching over the petunias destined for the front lawn of the Office. In fact he is now in the measure-every-mo ing stage and is most certainly keeping a weather eye out for these little sprouts. In fact the only sun shine they've seen has been the sunshine of his smile.
 Daddy Holmes has become a moving picture fiend. He gets a letter with pictures of the very young lady in his life and they move all around the Office, followed with oo's and aa's. But honestly, the mystery of it is, she looks like her daddy-only prettier.
 Knitwear has come into it's own around the Finance Office ever since it was classed as an influence. Onething we are sure of, our sweater girl isn't getting any com petition.
 Harry "The Brush", is now play ing the role of Dorothy Dix. I can't figure out whether it's his mature look or the broad shoulders. Maybe she has seen his citation. Anyway, Harry will listen to any and all problems. He says the reason he and Mrs. c. get on so well is that he's her only problem.
 Who is it that Freddy is playing twink" with of late? It seems that his noon time tete-a-tetes have brought out the savage in him.
 Pete, the Middletown Flash, is the only one in that fair city who has an A coupon for his cigarette lighter. I wonder who he knows. Also he now has to ask the boys for the keys to his car when he wants to use it. " :.-.
 About now it is time for me to get down off the rafters with my typewriter for that is definitely not the way to get on the BEAM. The mental cogitations for this week gre slim and weak but at least you will know that we here in Finance are not dead yet. All we ask is for little time. Something will shape up just as it did this past week. At this point the only thing left to say is Huba-huba.

 Side|ishts

H1gnllgnCS or the week are varied, to say the least, but that's what makes it interesting. We'll start off with "top-billing" for the wedding of Marie Rouse of Air craft Hydraulic Section, who left us on Tuesday for Lakeworth, Fla, to join Cpl. George McGlaufin. Their marriage took place on Saturday at the chapel at Camp Boca Raton, where George is sta toned. It's long way from Maine, where both their families live, but Marie informed us that she is wearing a white satin gown and veil (and will look very lovely we know). The only thing that could be wished for is that their families could be present. Our very best wishes go with them.
 Ellsworth Rogers came in to- change his BlueCross policy the other day, adding the name of his new daughter, Catherine Ann. It was the only way we would have known about her and she's already four months old.
 Two of our girls went to Hills grove this week on special as signment. Jeannette Orr and Frieda Sugarman were the lucky gals".
 It. E.. A. Kjorlie and Courtice Berry on hurried trip to New York for further ironing out of "bugs" in the Personnel Procedures experiment that has been our super priority activity the past month.
